If we played like we played last week, we have a good chance to come away with a result, especially if Nesta’s ban gets reduced.

I just hope Milan shows the same hunger and desire as they did last week. Kaka was amazing last week, albeit against Cagliari. But, I haven’t seen him, or the team play that inspired since the second leg of the MAN-U game last year. And since our away form is much better than our form at home so we’ll see what happens.

The problem is BUFFON, he’s freakin awesome…Sissoko is running non-stop in the mid-field and Del Piero like Maldini (although not as old) is defying his age.

A minority ownership would be great they could finance some summer transfers but with a bigger bankroll you need a better sporting director and secco would still manage to do nothing with all that extra money.

Added note:

Nesta, Oddo, Kaladze, as I said are out, but Channel4 reports Favalli and Jankulovski are out also.

A minority ownership wouldn’t neccessarily be bad, especially if they happen to… oh say, accidentally drop a steel beam on Secco before he manages to sell off all our young talent.

Like everybody else on this blog, I’d really like to know what Nocerino and Molinaro have on Ranieri, considering that neither can pass for shit and yet they keep getting first team action. For a tinkerman he seems to play favourites an awful lot.

I hope Momo-Tiago get an extended run out together over the end of the season. I thought they were linking up quite well against Palermo. And the Milan game is winnable as long as the team shows up to play the entire 90 minutes rather than just the final 45. *eyeroll*

Gabriella, I’m ok with minority ownership, the leader of Algeria I think had a similar deal several years ago, but I’m dead set against a foreign takeover. I don’t want to be like the EPL and sell our soul for a few more expensive players. We’ve built legendary teams in the past from our youth team and smart transfers, and we should continue to do so.

Anthony, he is, even under the current ownership. The current president of FIAT and his grandchildren, the Elkanns, don’t care about Juve as much as he/the old Agnellis did…they didn’t fight Calciopoli. Juventino conspiracists think it’s so they could buy out the shares at rock bottom prices.

Nocerino is a hitman for hire player nobody cares if he is carded… as long as he does his job by stopping the best player from the opposition…

Nocerino has absolutely zero touch. the only thing he CAN do is play hard, but that doesn’t always translate to playing well. He goes all out for sure, but his touch is laughable at best. He can’t pass to save his life whether it be short, long, crossing, or through. His intensity is good but he needs to watch Zanetti, and how he calmly puts balls where they need to be, and learn.

sissoko = badmotherfucker

thats true alessio but you cant deny that tiago hasent been improving alot. look at the parma game the first half we played horrible. when tiago came in for nocerino the midfield was alot better, passes were more complete and crosses were more accurate. nocerino was repeatedly giving the ball away and at this point of the season if we want to keep our champions league spot we cant afford to have someone like nocerino continuosly giving away the ball in midfield.
