Previews: Half-assed Preview of Juventus-Artmedia and Squad Updates
By: alessio |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
By: alessio |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. [...]

Player Ratings: Juventus Season 2007-2008
By: alessio |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.
Previews: Sampdoria-Juventus and words on Tiago and Amauri
By: alessio |Well, Juventini and anti-Juventini, (is there anything else?) it’s come down to the last day of the season, sadly enough. Now starts the boring summer months of transfers and pointless friendlies. (Anyone know if a Serie A team is touring America? I’m here all summer) But before this downtown, there’s one game left! While not [...]
LiveBlog: Juventus v. Lazio
By: alessio |After my 2nd attempt to write a preview for the game failed, I said screw it, I’ll live blog it. Check out Salvatore’s preview over at the Lazio Offside.
My favorite bar is closing tonight so I may still be buzzed. It’s early but hope to see you tomorrow, 9am EST.
Palermo v. Juventus: Colantuono’s Last Chance, Really This Time… I Swear
By: roberto |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 [...]
Ranieri v. Mancini: Coach’s Couch - Derby d’Italia Edition
By: roberto |Offsiders listen up: I’d like to introduce to you my brand new segment called “Coach’s Couch”. Here we’ll tackle many of world’s famous tacticians and their questionable techniques– all from the marvellous vantage points of our couch. This is a relatively new idea, so of course there’ll be some changes and improvements made as we [...]
Palm Sunday Victory & Wednesday Night Ashes Before Saturday’s Derby d’Italia Clashes
By: roberto |An 87th minute strike from Vincenzo Iaquinta gave Juventus the victory against Napoli by way of a heavenly first-touch. My goodness I’m obsessed with first-touches now more then ever. Can someone tell me if there’s anything more fundamentally important to playing the beautiful game than a good first-touch? Nedved certainly can’t. Whether you value a player [...]
