I 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, 2020 - 10:54Its 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, 2020 - 10:20Prior 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, 2020 - 12:10With the pulse finally slowing and the draw for our next opponents to soon commence, it seems prudent for me to capture and share my calmer thoughts of our recent progress in the elite continental competition of the planet.
April 21, 2017 - 13:43As the 2015/2016 season is fast approaching its end and EURO 2016 is beginning to loom over the world of football, the transfer window in turn is awakening from its slumber. The rumour mill has already started grinding out possible (or absolutely not possible, whatever suits the moment) transfers we can expect in the summer.
May 2, 2016 - 11:52As previously reported, it appears that we have invested in Atalanta starlet Mattia Caldara, and our business with the surprise package of the season thus far may not end there.
December 28, 2016 - 10:55With the international break proving a bother for many, some out of concern for injuries, for others further trauma delaying late in the day tactical adjustments, it seems opportune to bring you an overview of the major happenings in the Juve youth sector.
September 5, 2016 - 12:02I should begin with a brief mention of Fabio Grosso. A coach who has achieved a UEFA A coaching licence, the highest of such qualifications available and yet I was previously not at all a fan of his ability to lead, to deploy tactics and nourish the development of our little ones.
July 13, 2016 - 11:53Fresh from a long overdue escape from the citadel, where I stayed in a renovated shack on the side of a valley, found the frogs and kangaroos and a roaring open fire for company
July 27, 2016 - 8:04Not since Marchisio have we seen a bona fide home grown star emerge from the youth sector to find a place in the senior side.
June 8, 2016 - 12:11There is always hesitation vis-a-vis how we will fare after many of our players have been traveling long distance and adopting to different tactics with different players whilst others have been absent of any competitive action.
April 4, 2016 - 1:55Sitting in my den of iniquity, the daylight gaining brightness and seeping through the rips in the curtains, I looked upon the entirety of extra time with my heart sinking with every passing second.
March 17, 2016 - 11:25Sassuolo, even absent of Berardi and Defrel, were always going to provide stern opposition. They are a carefully and successfully run club, with a strong focus on youth and maintaining an overwhelmingly Italian nature to their side
March 12, 2016 - 10:39As the Pogba story continues to bore and drag inexorably towards a finale fit for an audience of trainee clowns, I am feeling a suspicion creep up my spine.
August 8, 2016 - 11:12Whilst the interminable focus of the mass media remains steadfastly following Pogba’s bowel movements, I have been pondering our signings to date.
August 1, 2016 - 11:59With 11 games left to play, the Scudetto race is fast approaching its conclusion. It remains presently too early to call an end to the story, but let us take a detailed look at how we stack up against the other competitors for silverware before focusing on what hurdles await us and our foes.
March 4, 2016 - 12:20The mercury remains just shy of 36C here in Melbourne, as the arms of the clock, weighed down by the heat of this inferno, approach 8pm.
March 8, 2016 - 12:12It has been a bothersome day. Slug faced corporate wenches, directed by spastic machismo, yet far superior at playing the game of licking the right arses and smiling at the right slime merchant managers have invaded my former safe havens
March 2, 2016 - 10:35I remain in a state of recovery. Still my blood feels alive with war and battle, my body tired yet my spirit a flame, for we witnessed a true marvel when the Germans came to town.
February 24, 2016 - 15:49My preparations for this match have been perfect. After crawling out of bed to find my youngest niece, beloved…
