    Champions League 2023-24

    I think CBs are less and less dominant in nowadays game, there's also no elite regista's anymore and the age of star goalkeepers is fading. Now its all about the wingers (Vinicius, Leao, Chiesa, Kvara, Rodrygo), attacking midfielders (de Bruyne, Musiala, Bernardo Silva, Odegard) and center...

    Champions League 2023-24

    the grass was always greener when we were young. when I suggested that Chiellini belongs in the same sentence as Cannavaro people got very defensive similar to how you don't see a defender that's as good as Chiellini in nowadays footie. you remember Barzagli being super consistent for almost a...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    I think there're no true stand-out goalies today that have that reputation that they'll consistently make saves no-one else will and bring you points to the table. Buffon was close to winning Ballon d'Or in 2006 and was truly a Superman in goal, I don't see a goalie like that in 2023. Guys like...

    Matthijs de Ligt

    I think right now the cheapest positions in football are goalkeepers and SS. Most modern formations and teams don't use a SS, so naturally the demand for even high quality SS like Dybala and Felix is limited, because it's hard to fit them in as anything else than a SS. Even though I tend to...

    Champions League 2023-24

    compared to the format of the uefa conference league this is as simple as it gets. given it's probably the same guys that worked on both I'm pleasantly surprised, it could've been worse. but generally this is moving in the direction of the nba, they too have 1230 games in regular season which...

    hollywood disagrees. I've lost count how many times Russian baddies were played by American actors who couldn't learn to pronounce 3 words in Russian f.e. these guys are paid millions to learn a couple of phrases in a foreign language, its 2023 and the russian somehow is even worse than in...

    Dušan Vlahović

    right there, in the 3rd paragraph it says "I will be looking more at the ratio of different types of reactions to attempt to level the playing field" and then you do that precisely one time. that's just scientific laziness, peer review would destroy this analysis. :P

    Had a wonderful morning dumping experience, felt like sharing.

    ..is a master of humor compared to your jokes about how Turk and singus are simultaneously having anal and oral sex with Allegri. that's -5/10 humor, no one wants to read that, have some filter.

    Dušan Vlahović

    I think there are 2 problems: 1. Turk thinks Allegri is an imbecile and you think Turk is an imbecile, joking about both is a dangerous thing for forum rules. Ironically the guy you consider to be an imbecile is a master of humor compared to yourself. 2. Allegri is not here to complete the...

    Imo Turk is a top10 Juve entertainer, deep inside most tuzzers appreciate him, I know I do. Some statistics: Funny reactions received by Turk: 1361 Funny reactions received by Seven: 412

    Dušan Vlahović

    90% must be clever and entertaining references to Allegri being a football terrorist, cancer of the club, etc, as a fellow Juve supporter I personally enjoy those 10/10 times. If I implied that Chiellini is bad at dribbling would you call that an insult towards club legend? Imo simple facts...

    Turk is rarely rude or offensive towards anyone + his humor is 10/10. Sadly Seven is nowhere near 7/10, I think his jokes would be better received if they were... better.

    Federico Gatti

    this was a long time ago, but I always thought Chiellini was special ever since he was moved to CB back in 2007, he was pretty much a core player from that season on. also made a name for himself internationally in Euro2008, kept peak Villa-Torres silent for 120 minutes with Panucci as his CB...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    A Coppa wont salvage anything for me. If we're not at least in the Scudetto race, this mf should be told by March to start looking for a new club.

    Massimiliano Allegri

    Thats weak as fuck, Ranieri got more with a worse squad and was fired.

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    I'm wondering whether I understand this correctly, can anyone confirm? we postponed the salaries for the whole squad with a mutual understanding that the players'd receive the salary as a loyalty bonus or a parting gift further down the road. and then decided to fuck Ronaldo because he fucked us...

    Massimiliano Allegri

    I think the squad is similar to last season, a lot will depend on injuries. A big positive is no European nights, we might actually survive with only Chiesa as an SS option. The biggest room for improvement for me 100% is in the coaching department. If we're poor physically, if mentally we're...
