The Bianconeri return to Rome
By: alessio |Back in the Stadio Olimpico di Roma. After the victory against the Giallorossi, our team must be setting up camp in Rome, having some Peronis and Limoncello with the Roman Juventini. We’re back this week, to take on the Biancocelesti who are thus far 100% in the Serie A campaign. Lotito has started the sabre [...]
Player Ratings: Juventus Season 2008-2009
By: alessio |As part of the first portion of a seasonal review (hurrah unemployment) I’ve decided to, like last year, do a rating for every player who took part this season.
