I seem to have developed a sporadic case of hysteria. With any serious rumours of tactics and transfers sending me quickly towards wild joy or plummeting deep into a well of woe.
August 31, 2020Juventus are going through an unprecedented time as they picked a coach with no previous experience and it feels like half the roster is for sale.
August 24, 2020Saturday 8th August was a circus of the bizarre. It was as if the sky became the ground, the compass spun, the poles of the planet played musical chairs.
August 18, 2020Such strange and contrasting emotions were abounding in my essence as the final few minutes of stoppage time wore down. Part of me was wanting the proudly hapless Felix Zwayer to blow the whistle and put us out of our misery.
August 8, 2020After five years of glory under Max Allegri, Juventus have a new coach and people don’t seem to like him much.
July 12, 2020Its still early days for Beppe’s replacement to be judged. I must also concede that he inherited a squad from his former boss, yet on the other hand he played his own role in forming that squad.
June 24, 2020I gain no pleasure from finding echoes of my own longstanding cynicism emerging from other commentators. For when it comes to Juve, I always want to be proven completely wrong with my repetitive wailing of all that is deflating and worrying.
June 23, 2020As Italian football finally returns this week with Juventus hosting Milan in the Coppa Italia second-leg, we put your questions to Milan fan and journalist Matthew Santangelo.
June 10, 2020Prior to the Corona issue I had started writing this piece in early March, which still seems timely enough to continue with thoughts of the now…
June 5, 2020Dear 19 year old Max, I hope I am catching you in a good moment of 2006. I decided to write you this letter because there are some things on my mind.
March 6, 2020At one point or another, all good things must come to an end, a reality most Juventus fans are slowly and uncomfortably warming up to.
February 18, 2020had conjured a lengthy piece after the Verona game. Yet after re-reading my cynical mutterings I found too many echoes of previous reports.
February 11, 2020The performance in Riyad came as no surprise, nor the result. A defeat serving as a clear and fair barometer of the first half of Sarri’s debut campaign in the hot seat.
December 27, 2019Perhaps there is something of value to astrology. For my chart suggests I am an egomaniac, berserk Romeo with a monstrous intensity…
December 4, 2019Gonzalo Higuain revealed that he had no intention of going elsewhere this summer, and that once he returned to Turin, he only wanted to remain at Juventus.
September 12, 2019Higuain, Pjaca, Ramsey, Rabiot, Buffon, Demiral, Romero, Pellegrini, De Ligt, Danilo and Han….
September 6, 2019How bizarre our mercato suddenly seems, at least with first glance and a primal response. The laudable work to bring in Rabiot, Ramsey and De Ligt as huge and much needed signings
August 9, 2019With the managerial situation resolved, the midfield and defence hugely upgraded and the mercato still very much in full swing I feel there is cause to open discussions….
July 28, 2019After the lengthy process of finally announcing Sarri as the new boss, we have now moved onto the usual mercato meanderings though to be fair the club do appear to have very clear goals and are working swiftly to get the squad together sooner rather than later.
June 30, 2019I didnt think we would sign him. His middle finger salute. His complete lack of being a company man. His exchange with Mancini. His character of holding firm to his values, no matter the cost.
