Post, Pre-Season Predictions

Boy-oh-boy do we like to do things differently here at the Juventus Offside. Man-crushes, binge-drinking, and good ol’ fashioned rival club bashing have normally been the specials of the day until now. Today, Alessio and I proudly present to you all our post pre-season predictions. Now you may be asking yourself some simple, and very [...]

Camoranesi Extends My Desire To Wed Him.

By: roberto |

21 Comments

Wanna know why Camoranesi always picks up little knocks every now and then? It’s because he plays his ass off on both ends of the field. That’s something called total commitment. So today, upon hearing he signed a contract extending his stay ’til 2011, I felt really weird in special places. Now that’s something called [...]

Thank god that international break is over. I watched the Palermo-Roma game today, and as pleased as I was to see Roma get pounded, just doesn’t satisfy my calcio needs. Roma have had a semi-difficult start, hosting Napoli and away at Palermo. Juve’s had a similar start, also drawing 1-1 against a credible opponent, let’s [...]

We’re back, ladies and gentlemen. After two years of exile, Juventus FC officially re-enters the Champion’s League in the 3rd-round qualifiers. Win this two-legged tie and we’re into the lucrative group stages. Our opponent this year is FC Artmedia Petržalka, who won the Slovak league last year.

Liveblog: Manchester United v. Juventus Pre-season Friendly

So, I was going to be at the beach all day today, but a storm decided to roll in this morning. End result? I’m sitting inside the beachhouse watching the rain come down, pretty cool stuff. But the upside is I’ll be watching this glorious friendly as well, and I figured, if I’m watching, why [...]

Capello Sucks: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Calciopoli

By: alessio |

This is kind of another reflection on Juventus history, but of a slightly different kind.
Like all Juventini, two years ago I went from Nirvana to Hell in a matter of a month. In the greatest football moment I’ve ever witnessed, the Azzurri triumphed in Berlin, winning the first major silverware I’ve been around for. [...]

This Stanks; Midfield Midmarket Musings

I know, I know, it’s horrible. But when you’ve got a name like Stankovic….it just lends itself to puns like that. I’d like to take credit for it, but it was the title of a blog posting after one of Dejan’s shitty games this season. Little did I know I’d be ripping him off 6 [...]

I’ll probably do a wrap-up for the season, but this is a concise quicker way to review it I suppose. Without any further ado, I give you my player ratings (out of 10) for every Bianconeri who played a role in our season.

Palermo v. Juventus: Colantuono’s Last Chance, Really This Time… I Swear

By: roberto |

18 Comments

Tifosi Rosaneri don’t tell me, let me guess. Colantuono’s got some secret plan to beat us come Sunday. I mean, that’s the reason why Zamparini hired him again, right? Well it’s either that, or he persuaded your president for another chance after he touched his nose with his tongue and made some funny animals out [...]
