Making the Grade: Secco’s Report Card and an Evaluation of Gli Big’s
By: alessio |Let’s be honest, Secco’s first two summer mercatos were a disaster. We can perhaps forgive him for the first one, given the absolute chaos that surrounded the club in the summer of 2006. Boumsong and Almiron were two of the worst signings over the last several years, period. I cringe when I see Boumsong play. [...]
Atalanta 1 – Juventus 3: Break Out The Egg Nog
By: roberto |Well that was fun. Horrible pitch, some bad challenges, and a few sketchy incidences. All in all, I think our guys did a good job away in Bergamo and deserved the three points here. Atalanta looked quite threatening after Vieri’s goal but we managed to hold our back line nicely and regain some valuable possession. [...]
Non-Preview: Atalanta v. Juventus
By: roberto |At the end of the training session on Saturday afternoon Ranieri announced the list of players called-up for the last match of 2008. Camoranesi and Iaquinta are not in the list, the latter owing to a muscle strain in his right thigh, whereas Grygera who during the last few days worked underwent gym training is [...]
Europe Awaits UEFA Champions League Draw
By: roberto |Gather round the fire children, it’s time we find out who we square off against for the first knockout round of the UEFA Champions League. Don’t get too excited though as the first set of matches won’t go for another two months. Oh well this gives us plenty of time to hone our voodoo techniques. [...]

By: alessio |Juventus-Milan Preview; Il Vero Derby d’Italia
By: alessio |Or so Lapo Elkann says. But he’s also known for dabbling in coke and trannies…so take his word for what it’s worth.
Last spring of course was a game we’ll never forget. Exciting, open, terribly nerve-wracking, and a brace from Brazzo. Fanfreakingtastic. But it’s a new day. As you may have noticed from the Milan Offside, [...]
Non-Preview: Juventus – Milan
By: roberto |Juventus-Milan is always a game which attracts football fans, whether its a friendly such as the Trofeo Berlusconi or much more so if its a competitive game. Sunday night will see the two teams facing each other in what will be a duel for the sole-occupancy of the second place of the Serie A.
The bianconeri [...]

Pre Juventus – BATE Conference With The Golden One
By: roberto |Pavel Nedved was the protagonist of the press conference on the eve of the match together with Claudio Ranieri. The journalists asked about the possibility of seeing Nedved at the centre of the midfield beside Marchisio since Sissoko is suspended and Zanetti has just recovered from a long injury:
“It is very important for us that [...]
You Shut Your Mouth, That Was Fucking Embarassing
By: roberto |Never have I in my life seen such horrible defending. What league is this? What team are we? Grygera, Legrottaglie, Chiellini, and Molinaro shouldn’t ride on the team bus tonight back to Vinovo. They should take a farming pickup truck riddled with pigeon shit. It was unreal to see the amount of errant, misguided, and [...]
