Relegation can do that to you.

So while Juve obviously haven't had the run of the officiating since Farsopoli, Chiellini elbowed Pablo Armero in the face off the ball just now without a whistle, and then Juve won a foul at the other end. They were getting the calls all match, it's very difficult being a fan of a "little" team in the league, which in my case is Udinese.

then Armero deserved to be thrown out if we're using your logic. He was dirty all game aside from kicking the ball away after whistles and arguing with all his opponents and officials...

Udinese played one of their worst games of the season while Juve clearly deserved the victory :dontknow:

Pogba is worth the revival of this thread. two big goals recently for Juve, the 19 year old center mid is already a beast :nod:

And you guys stole him from us!

You guys didn't need him at all since you are stealing a penalty most of the games

Sir Alex wasn't flattering enough for him

Yeah it just sucks after the trouble we went through to get him in the first place and then we also lost Ravel Morrison (irrepairable brain damage) along with Pogba, when the two of them were the most naturally gifted players to come through the academy since Scholes.

They finally lost. Incredible run. My hat off to them.

It had to end at some point, but a loss against Inter wouldn't be my perfect choice. Hopefully this serves as a wake up call, and it might just be. 4-0 win against Danish side Nordsjaelland(?).

Don't think you could really say that Pogba came through the Man Utd academy...

Anyway, I've been very bemused by the furor in the British press (and by Neil Lennon, who really needs a pacifier) over Lichtsteiner's play in the Celtic-Juventus CL match, it's almost as if Scott Brown wasn't kicking Pirlo every time he touched the ball.

I thought what Lichtsteiner was doing wasn't that bad...the Celtic player was trying to stand basically on top of Buffon, and it is the defender's job to protect him in that case. Padoin on the other hand received a yellow card and immediately began hugging the guy again lol, but even that wasn't the worst uncalled foul on a corner that i've seen

things get worse for Bendtner:

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A Danish court has given Juventus striker Nicklas Bendtner a 842,000 kroner ($147,000) fine for drunk driving, and suspended his driver's license for three years.

Bendtner pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol when he was stopped after a night out on Sunday morning by police. The prosecution says his blood-alcohol content was 1.75, or 3.5 times higher than the legal limit.

Bendtner said after Tuesday's verdict by the Copenhagen court that it was "the worst day in my life."

Pirlo talks briefly about his passion for winemaking, and even Mama Pirlo says a few words:

3-peat

strangespot · Post #639 » by **strangespot** » Fri Aug 15, 2014 8:26 am

so what you guys think should be our new tactics. the 3-5-2 is getting old and boring

I would go with a 4-3-3
buffon
licht chiello bonucci evra
pogba pirlo vidal
pepe (coman) llorente tevez

Pepe has impressed me in those few games after he's been out for almost 2 years. I think with him, the 4-3-3 is a valid option.

Coman is going to be huge, at only 18 he has shown great personality and could be the next Pogba from a value surge point of view.

The 4-4-2 with a diamond midfield could also be an interesting option with the players you have ...
