Sampdoria Preview Plus: What The Shit Is Going On?
By roberto | January 18th, 2008Ranieri isn't a happy camper and well, neither are we. Us tifosi Bianconeri have in the last week seen some pretty distressing stuff. For starters, we witnessed a painfully submissive performance against Catania as our side ultimately seemed deserving of
Lazio vs Juventus: Preview, Plus Post-Game Post-Mortems
By roberto | December 13th, 2007So, how have you been? It's nice to be writing again. What have you been up too? How's the backhand? We haven't spoken in a while... I know I know it's all my fault. I've been a terrible blogger as of late and possibly an even worse undergrad. Funny I sho
Empoli in Winning a Match Shock!
By Martha | December 7th, 2007In the first match of the nearly all-Serie A last 16 of the Coppa Italia (only Ascoli remain from the lower divisions), Empoli hosted Juventus. Shockingly, the home side not only played well, but also managed to come out of the match with a fairly convinc
Juventus 5 Palermo 0 - Recap: A Black and White Affair
By roberto | November 27th, 2007By now you've read the articles, heard the news, and seen the highlights. Juventus simply dismantled Palermo. So much so in fact, that Palermo's Head Coach was fired just a few hours after the match. Now that's what I call dismantled. Really, the only pos
Juve v Palermo: PWNED
By Martha | November 25th, 2007Wow. Not much to say about this one, really, except for the fact that Juve absolutely played Palermo off the pitch. God damn, that was impressive. Palermo may as well have been a bunch of pink cones for how effective they were, apart, maybe from Rober
Juventus vs Palermo: Previews & Contests
By roberto | November 22nd, 2007Fire it up you pirate-hookers, Serie A's back in town! Fire what up exactly? I'm not sure. Could be cigarettes, peyodie, an old smelly couch, your ex-girlfriend's busted-ass weave... whatever your fix, just light the damn thing on fire already. Juventus w
A Short Essay: Sportsmanship, Emphasis On Sports & Man
By roberto | November 16th, 2007Another game, some more terrible refereeing. Another unnecessary loss of life, another hurdle for Serie A. What a mess. So, what can we learn from this week's lesson in Italian Calcio? Well, it's been a tough week to swallow that's for sure. Speaking of m
Parma-Juve, result overshadowed by other events
By Francesco | November 11th, 2007Parma went up 2-0 on Juventus, only to allow the Old Lady to come back and get a draw. Once again Parma fails to defend a lead. It was a good result, however it was overshadowed by the death of a Lazio fan. More after the jump. By now everyone
The Boys Are Back In Town; Juventus 1-Inter 1
By roberto | November 6th, 2007La Vecchia Signora's fine silverware was on display Sunday as we hosted that 'other team' from Milan. That 'other team' who for once, came into the derby as the odds on favorite to win. Throughout its entirety however, neither team came forward as the cle

Juventus Make Pit-Stop At Second, One Behind Leaders
By roberto | September 27th, 2007Well done lads. Perhaps a victorious score line was expected against a side like Reggina, however credit goes out to the coach for providing a few welcomed surprises. Tinkerman started the match against Reggina with what appeared to be a 4-5-1 scheme. A f
Most Boring Transfer Window EVER?
By Gianfranco | July 12th, 2007Today Vicenzo Iaquinta, former Milan target and Azzuri hero, has stated that Juventus have done better than Inter and Milan in the transfer window. Vicenzo, I will agree with you wholeheartedly there on the Rossoneri front. Can you believe that only
Fancy a Flutter, David?
By Martha | June 26th, 2007On the very day Sampdoria terminated the contract of Francesco Flachi, he of the two-year cocaine ban, a new sin-scandal has reared its entertaining (if depressing) head in the world of Italian football: Gambling. And when I say "new," I mean "one we've n
Speaking of Transfers: Iaquinta to Juve is Official
By Martha | June 19th, 2007Several days after the striker passed his medical, the long-rumored (And by "long," I mean "for all of eight days.") transfer of Vincenzo Iaquinta from Udinese to Juventus was made official this morning. (As far as I can tell this is official-official, no
News Roundup of Randomness and Azzurrini Sadness
By Martha | June 11th, 2007•First and foremost on the random train in the rumor that Roma are interested in cast-off Palermo deity Eugenio Corini. According to reports in Italy, he's being seen as a possible alternative to David Pizarro, which I guess means the Chilean is on his
Summer Speculation: Incoming Forwards
By Chris | May 29th, 2007Part II: Forwards. Here's to Totti & Co. bringing early Christmas gifts to Rome in the middle of the summer (As if I needed to say this, but I'd love to get Megan Gale for Christmas. Santa, if you're listening...). Most of these players won't even get
And Today in Non-Champions League News: Transfers Rumors (And a Few Other Things)
By Martha | May 23rd, 2007•The killjoys at Milan are insisting they've had no talks (Outside, one assumes, of "Hey Andriy. Jose is an asshole. Good-looking bastard though, isn't he?") with long-lost striker Andriy Shevchenko. This despite The Sun's recent assurances that the clu
Totti: Birth of a Dynasty
By Chris | May 19th, 2007“This trophy won’t be the last, but only the first of a long line that must follow.” As I read this quote I picture Totti standing in the center of the Colosseum, wearing his gladiator outfit as he looks around into the empty stands. In the bac
Juve Striker Shopping?
By Martha | May 16th, 2007Juve are all over the media this week, presumably because they're thisclose to officially being back in Serie A, and everyone knows they're going to be splashing some cash the summer in order to compete for the Scudetto immediately. That's the plan, at le
Mmm ... News Roundup
By Martha | May 10th, 2007•As Gianfranco over at the Juventus blog reported yesterday, Juve target Torsten Frings just did a rather abrupt about-face -- he was loving Juve just a few weeks ago -- and has signed a contract extension with Werder Bremen that will keep him with the
Benitez Set to Do a Little Shopping in Italy, Come Summer
By Martha | February 20th, 2007According to a wildly ill-advised interview he gave the Corriere dello Sport, Liverpool manager Raffa Benitez appears to be bent on replacing virtually his entire first team with players currently plying their trade in Serie A. I exaggerate slightly, but
