Mad Max banished to the wastelands

The End of the road for Max had become more clear on the horizon as the weeks wore on. An impressive unbeaten record that had us surprisingly positioned to seemingly challenge for the title abruptly gave way to a remarkably appalling run…

Max is not the man to lead us…

Our latest abject performance in losing 1-0 to Lazio has soured the holiday spirit for many. When speaking with my brotherly friend from Naples earlier this evening, to exchange our traditional best wishes for Buona Pasqua, he told me he had enough…

Pulse check Juve

How fickle the football gods can be eh! Only four games ago, even the long confirmed cynical such as myself were believing the worm had turned. A superb run of results since that disastrous defeat to Sassuolo saw us flow through 19…

In Giuntoli, I trust…

It has certainly been a while since I last felt inspired enough to pour some energy and spill virtual ink for the bianconeri cause. The reasons for this are mainly obvious, with no need for me to explain in great and painful…

Exclusive: Juventus reignite interest in Arsenal full-back Kieran Tierney

With this year’s season imminently nearing a curtain closure, Juventus have already started deploying a blue-print within their preparations for next season as the Bianconeri have reignited their interest in Arsenal full-back Kieran Tierney. So far within this year’s current campaign, the…

Football triumphs over Anti-football…

Well before the final whistle it was feeling like a humiliation. The home side were passing the ball around, passionate partisan fans cheering with great vigour with every touch from one Partenopei to another, as the Juve players looked on dismayed, chased…

Pulse Check of a cornered BEAST…

We have become an easy target. Juve have been blamed for any hint of an issue, it could be as innocuous in the end result when crunched through the legal system as a slap on the wrist and small fine, with other…

Can this get any worse?

I have been somewhat bemused by the uptick in widespread unease and groaning of late, spreading slowly, grimly, steadily across the fan base. Not due to any failure to relate, but due instead to the reality that I have felt ever more…

What happened to Juventus??

It is hard to find informed, balanced coverage of football. An ever expanding multitude of podcasts and platforms promise much but deliver all too little, all too often. The crowd at TIFO however, have long established themselves as providing that delicate mix…

Juventus Mercato flash flood update…

All will change swiftly, and my hope is that the cynicism that underlies much of what will follow, will be proven so terribly misguided over the coming weeks, that I will be in line at the tattoo parlour in September to get…

Where to from here?

Looking back on my brief ramblings after the coppa final defeat sheds light on the framework of my overview for the season and attempt to provide a cynical barometer of our current plight and what can be done… Juve had the opportunity…

I hope I am wrong…

The announcement from Arrivabene came as no major shock in it’s general message, though the explanation and details have led to much debate of how both the club and agent(s) involved have handled the affair. Before getting into the key points of…

Steps in the Right direction…

MERCATO mumblings – Late January I must say that I am a little surprised. Pleasantly so. As I have become accustomed to abject failure both on and off the field for many moons now, I was not expecting the welcome flurry of…

Give the kids a chance…

We seem rather strapped for cash. I don’t know the exact figures and doubt anybody knows them. It is never good business sense to reveal you are poor. Yet our financial matters seem harrowing, in whatever reality can be grasped and taken…

Juve mutterings (back from the brink)

I have been out of sorts of late, due to an unexpected, certainly unwelcome, yet ultimately unavoidable motorcycle accident involving a three vehicle pile up in my intended direction of travel. Which has led to…a rather testing time all round. Throughout which…
