The Prodigal Son
Gianluigi Buffon. A man whose story is now as much myth and legend as it is fact. As if it was written in the stars. Another chapter seems to be in need of writing for Santo Gigi, with The Old Lady having called him home.

Will Sarriball fit the Juventus squad?
After 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.

The revolution has begun – Thoughts on Sarri at Juventus

A victory for football…
Waking at 432am, stumbling and grumbling to the kitchen to avoid waking the mad pixie queen and her slumbering toddler, I was not exactly horrified or surprised, but certainly disheartened by the starting XI Max deployed.

Allegri Masterclass…
Whilst many are still reveling in the afterglow of Tuesday eve’s heroics – rightfully so – it seems right to offer my first positive appraisal of Max and the direction of the side as a whole for too many moons to count.

It has been coming…
It has been coming. I have watched plenty of games this season, close to every match of the last few years, and the only surprise is that it has taken this long for us to find our luck well running dry.

Ciro Ferrara – The Unsung Juve Legend
Juventus 1994/95; Scudetto winners, Coppa Italia winners and UEFA Cup finalists. The Bianconceri scored 99 goals in all competitions as Gianluca Vialli, Fabrizio Ravenelli, Alessandro Del Piero and Roberto Baggio terrorised defences at home and in Europe.

Troubled ramblings of discontent in black and white…
This might be the season when Max’s pragmatism truly sucks the life out of even those who have clung tightly to his collection of titles won at the club, whilst nervously looking on as the performances have continued to worsen.
