By: alessio |So with Thanksgiving (for us Yanks) and the Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza/etc season coming up, people are all about spending time with their family, until they realize how much they cannot stand constant interaction, and head to the bars. It is no coincidence the night before Thanksgiving is the largest drinking holiday in the United States. So, without further ado, while you can’t stand your family, here’s some photos of Juventini with their family that is sure to make the men jealous, and the women all swoony about Juventini spending time with their children. Pictures after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
Bidone d’Oro Nominations out: Does Rai Radio Due watch Serie A?
By: alessio |Every season this time of year, the hosts of Rai Radio 2 give out the Bidone d’Oro, or the “Golden Trashbin” to the worst flops of the past year. Nominations have come out, and either they hate Juventus, they hate our midfield, or they have it out for Tiago and Poulsen, both who were nominated in years past. List and commentary after the jump.

A Preview of Juve’s Future (ManYoo, Chelsea, and especially Arsenal banned from reading)
By: alessio |So in the doldrums otherwise known as the international break, it allows for some posts unrelated to current topics. In the past, I’ve done some posts on Juventus Legends, something I’d really like to restart sometime in the new future, there are plenty to be profiled. But today, instead of looking at the past, we look to the future. Another words, who are the stars in the Juve Primavera? (Arsene, I know you’re still reading. Seriously, stop.) And what chance do they have of graduating to the senior team and becoming an integral part? Read the rest of this entry »
Where Have All The Keepers Gone?
By: alessio |Robert Enke’s death is a tragic one, without a doubt. In no way is the post meant to malign him, but I barely had heard of him, and yet he was likely to be named Germany’s #1 for the World Cup coming ahead. Not someone legendary like Kahn or Lehmann. So it provoked a question: Where have all the great keepers gone? Read the rest of this entry »
The Legend of Trezegol Continues…
By: alessio |Yesterday, we celebrated a milestone as our captain, Alessandro Del Piero, turned 35. There was another milestone of course this Saturday, when poacher-extraordinaire David Trezeguet banged in his 167th goal in all competitions to equal Omar Sivori as the 4th top scorer of Juventus, and the top foreign scorer of all time. A record well deserved for Trezegol. Read the rest of this entry »
The Origin of Christmas in November
By: alessio |It’s that time of year, again. 35 years ago, 3 wise men saw a bright star in the sky. Instead of camels, they took an Alitalia flight to Milan, vowing never to fly that worthless airline again. They hopped in a FIAT 500, searching for the source of the light, much as an excited drunk Irishman chases for the end of the rainbow, only to find it is in fact a toilet already occupied with another drunk vomiting Irishman. The wise men were not to be as disappointed, however. Read the rest of this entry »

VotD: Claudio Marchisio & Marco Tardelli (Esoesgallo)
By: alessio |About a month ago, I put up a post asking if any older Calcio fans could explain to me the resemblances between Tardelli and Marchisio that are so often being made. Unfortunately, there weren’t any responses but thankfully, Esoesgallo has reached out to the younger Juventus population and answered our questions. Grazie!! Read the rest of this entry »
