Thanks Graham, your post saved me two minutes. :biggrin:

Not to be a dampner, but that hardly means anything. Its a matter of course that he will return to the club after a loan deal ends, and it doesn't mean he won't leave for another loan spell somewhere else. At least, that's what I fully expect the board to do.

gsol, just out of curiousity, if Juventus were in fact guilty as charged (of match fixing) would you agree that we should have been relegated? Purely hypothetical question of course (with view to your staunch insistence on our innocence). A yes or a no will do.

What I don't get is how we've then failed to plead this supposed innocence. What was with the pleas of a reduced sentence, or as denco said the board and Ranieri saying that we are still being punished for Calciopoli. Aren't these in themselves admissions of guilt?

I'm not sure recalling Giovinco sends out the right messages. We are not in need of a player in his position and indeed I would be dismayed if he were to displace Nedved by virtue of what little he has produced for Empoli alone. On the other hand if he were to return to Turin to sit on the bench...

Regarding that bit about this being Del Piero's game...I believe what was actually said was that Ranieri sought out Del Piero's input for the preparations for this weekend because he is familiar with the intricacies of an Inter-Juve match. If I am not mistaken he never mentioned anything about...

Stam has brought quality wherever he's gone. He's without a doubt one of the most outstanding centrebacks I've seen in the current generation of defenders, and he fits the mould of defenders I happen to admire; imposing, uncompromising, courageous and an astute mind for the game. He possessed it...

What I see is alot of people unneccasarily jumping the gun. Can't we all agree that this has been an unfortunate season for us thus far instead of cooking up a conspiracy and crying foul? If anyone were to go to the FIGC with a compilation of all these "controversial decisions" seeking redress I...

Perhaps we should cool the conspiracy talk for now. The decisions were poor and we had an incompetent referee, but these things happen. And lets not kid ourselves either, we have players who dive just as Zalayeta did yesterday, a bitter defeat can cloud everyone's better judgement but lets not...

JuveAdam, your first point proves my point to a T. They both won trophies with the original managers who elevated them to that level, namely Eriksson and Capello, not after they left. After their departure it went downhill for them, albeit to varying degrees. Roma remain a credible force in...

Indeed. Much has changed around here, even if you're still the resident geek. :wink: Don't mind me though, I don't belong in this thread. :tongue:

Yes indeed. I love the display when it comes for everyday use, plus it gives me the flexibility of watching TV at the press of a remote but PC gaming takes a hit in that respect. If I had a CPU to match that display I'd have the baddest rig in the neighbourhood.

Ah, Marts. Another one of these threads that mean absolutely nothing but alienspeak to the general populace, save you and your geek brethren. :wink: I've missed this place (and its oddities) more than I realized. :smile:

And so the cycle begins again...how many managers has it been now? To all those saying he's spent 50m this season, Tottenham have been lavish spenders every year for a decade now. There is no manager that can turn a midtable team into a championship contender without going through his share of...

And I was just wondering why I haven't been frequenting this place for a good while now. The last three pages probably explain a fair bit.

I don't see why not, Ballack will not be the first of many forgotten players to revive his career in Italy, and loaning players have little negative effects (and certainly few financial constraints involved) whether they succeed or not, and if a player like Ballack blooms here it will be a great...

I've near given up on playing games with such specs since I upgraded my monitor a year ago, I'm currently using a 26 inch Aquos that supports a minimum resolution of 1024X768 and my CPU is relatively last gen ( 3.0GHz P4, 1G RAM, 256MB NVidia card). You can only imagine the graphical processing...

Moscow is never an easy venue to visit whoever you are, much less the inconsistent Internazionale Milano. I'm predicting a 1-1 draw and I got good money on it too; on the other hand if Inter do nick the win I wouldn't be too gutted either.

McLaren are likely to appeal the race stewards' decision regarding the fuel temperature fiasco which will most likely mean the title won't be official until at least mid November. I'm not concerned though, and I believe neither is Kimi. He has already won the title in the eyes of too many, and...

Indeed Lazio fans were chanting for their team to lose to Inter on the last day of the season some 4-5 years back when we won the title, historically Lazio enjoy closer relations to Internazionale and Juventus were the token "bitter rivals". That aside in my opinion its an idiotic way to deny...
