Yeah, Sicily is a hotbed for Juve fans. Most of the time they had nobody to support in Serie A, so a lot of them supported Juventus ’cause they were always on TV/radio or just ’cause they liked the team.

thats why whenever juve plays in southern italy (like in the palermo game) theres a significant amount of support in the crowd. thats not just traveling fans. you could hear it in palermo, reggina, and catania….i remember an article where baldini pleaded with the crowd to pull for catania and not juve.

alberto, before you jump to conclusions about my character, you look it up. it’s common knowledge that juventus is extremely popular across southern italy, im not sure why, but it is and it has been for decades. the big two teams most people down there support are Napoli or Juve. my family has supported juve for a while…my brother is the only non-juve fan in my family.

adam – please do me a favor and READ my comments and tell me SPECIFICALLY where I insulted Arabs. I dare you to do that. Before you start flinging accusations at everyone you should shutup and read first.

That’s twice now, I’ve been accused of things I had no part in.

Lorenzo, it’s called shittalking. See your previous comments for an example.

Of course I recognize the difference between Juve objectives and Palermo objectives. Anyone who doesn’t would have to be an idiot. I’m also a Bari fan, it’s not far from my family’s town, so I recognize that even winning Serie B was too far of an objective for us this year.

We’re aware of the thrill that beating Juve comes. That’s why every single team comes at us like a derby. (No one else has that kind of deal) You should have seen Serie B last year when players knew that their 15 seconds would come from playing us…startling to see the difference in level of intensity between say Albinoleffe-Juve and Albinoleffe-Bari. None of us deny that those 3 goals were unbelievable, but I still don’t like Palermo, and never will. (I was at a Bari-Palermo game in Serie B about 5-6 years ago, I think I mentioned it a couple posts ago. Fantastic game at the San Nicola)
