KJ thanks for the complimenti, yea we had a good second half, but I had to snap out of our good playing spell to remind myself we were playing against a 10 men Livorno side who still managed some bright spots and a late goal.

Amauri for Palladino…. shit, i dont know about that one. If we’re comparing them in their natural positions as strikers I’d rather have Amauri on Juventus. That said though, Ranieri prefers to use Palladino on the right as a winger (seeing as T-rez, ADP, and Iaquinta are rightfully his first options at ST), and so far (like against Livorno) Palladino has worked nicely. So, since we need more of a winger than a ST right now, I’d probably stick with Palladino. Not to say Amauri can’t play the wing successfully, instead I (like many Amauri fans too) would prefer to see the Brazilian more centred in attack as he has proved to be one of Serie A’s deadliest ST’s.

Impressive win yesterday. On a side note, do you think Amauri is worth giving up Palladino?

CRISTIANO ZANETTI IS GOD…….two great assists from him today.

And so is Trezegol, with two GREAT finishes today.

And so is Alex, with a terrific assist and a terrific goal. Damn.

So if Buffon is out for 2-3 months as the Italian press is reporting (Yes I know they’re full of gossip but it’s definitely something to consider) that Juve’s management is considering bringing Mirante back from Sampdoria’s bench or picking up Inter Merda old man Gianluca Pagiluca, currently without club. Best option would be recalling Mirante, he’s not playing on loan at Samp and he is a definite quality keeper, much more confidence-inspiring than Belardi.

Sorry Roberto, Vanstrattan was brought on to gain experience, he’s 24 I think and he’s got potential, but Mirante has proven experience, and I rate him up with Curci in young-Italian keepers.

And as long as we’re thinking about picking up old goalkeepers without clubs..fuck Pagiluca, talk to Peruzzi. Juve/Italy legend, and did anyone see him playing for Lazio last year? He was still playing top shelf.

On the front of GOOD NEWS: Marchionni hasn’t broken anything, his bones are intact. Prognosis looks (according to Gazzetta) to be around 1 month. Good thing that Camoranesi’s back in training…

Roberto:
I hope yer right. I can’t stand Argen-Inter, myself. They’ve just looked unbeatable lately when they play to form. They only played five minutes out of the 94 this weekend against Parma and still won. They’re scary good right now. I guess all ya’ can hope for is that age-old Inter tradition of choking rears again soon. It’s due.

Alessio let’s give Vanstrattan a chance.

mctalian I’ll say this, if we think it’s going to be easy; having scored a few away goals, and playing Inter in Turin- then we’ll lose, yes. But like my granddaddy’s Juventus, if WE play with intent you’ll have Moratti ripping out what little hair he has left, instead of Figo and Him feeding eachother fish eggs at game’s end.

Juve per sempre!
