We never lacked an atmosphere, even at the Olimpico. Nothing has changed but the stadium, which magnifies the effect. It was clearly louder. You could see fans in the east and west fans involving themselves, so the curva would have been rocking. I find it depends on the channel. Some...

:tup: My thoughts as well. The way we reacted after conceding, despite being at a disadvantage, was a very positive sign. We dominated them and unlike the past 2 seasons, our game plan didn't change. Zach and Del Neri would have defended the entire half, and the players would have lost...

Nice. Thanks. Where is a good place to get sopcast links now? Myp2p used to index them all but it's been down for a few weeks.

Many of you have unrealistic expectations. The revelations over the summer that Inter committed worse crimes than Juve and would have been relegated had those calls been available in 2006, wasn't enough to sway public opinion or bring any change. What could possibly be any worse than the...

Not as commanding a performance as it should have been, but a win and clean sheet nonetheless. The memory from last season is still fresh in my mind, and it was this type of match that we consistently bottled all throughout the year. I was patiently awaiting for us to cave and concede 2...

Lafico, a sovereign wealth fund, are the ones with the stake in Juve, not Gaddafi's personal fortune, although there is undoubtedly a lot of overlap between the 2 since he is a dictator. All of Lafico's assets will simply be handed over to the new government. They don't need to sue anyone...

The man your thinking of is Marco Tronchetti Provera, not Moratti. He is a major shareholder/chairman of Pirelli (Inter's sponsor), and through a holding company which Pirelli owned a majority stake in, was 1 of Telecom Italia's largest shareholders. He was also chairman of Telecom Italia for...

Great video. It is taken from the 2nd ring, but the view is still fantastic.

Excellent performance. Even when he was pressured he managed to shake loose his man with a deft touch or a quick shift the other way.

I can already see many changes from last season. - I liked how we pressured Parma whenever they had the ball, always closing them down no matter where on the pitch. Contrast this to last season where teams were allowed easy entry into our half, and Motta/Grosso always stood 2 meters away from...

All the serie a presidents were invited? How many of them actually showed up?

They really went all out for the ceremony. Good job Andrea on sparing no expense for this glorious occasion. It was a nice ceremony with some really touching parts, and after seeing countless pics over the past few years of the stadium being built, to see how it looks now, fans and all, is...

Anyone have some sopcast links? Please and thank you

Our wage bill has stayed at exactly the same level as last season, whereas Milan and Inter's increased by 30 and 24m respectively. Our management are doing a great job keeping wage levels stable. This is great news as it allows us to more accurately budget for the future by keeping our biggest...

Most important of all, imo, is the appeal it will have towards new commercial partners. German clubs are the perfect example. Their commercial revenue has soared since moving into their new grounds. Sponsors love these new types of stadiums with a variety of goods and services on offer. Were...

Great idea with the youtube streaming. Also, Marco Balich, the man who is orchestrating the opening ceremony has quite an impressive resume. You can check out clips of some of his work on his website. Check of the ceremony he did for the opening of Shakhtar's stadium, the Donbass Arena...

It is a possibility, but very unlikely given the fact that it has been made abundantly clear he is not in Conte's plans. Adding a 7th striker in Vucinic should have hammered home that point even further. Not only does he find himself in a situation where he is at a competitive disadvantage...

Vidal, Marchisio or Pepe will end up playing fb. Regardless of how you rate Ziegler, it's his natural position, and we would be weakening ourselves in midfield by shifting away Marchisio or Vidal to cover at fb. None of the reasons given so far are satisfactory. If Conte did not rate him, he...

I think UEFA will cave on their FFP initiative simply because they would be shooting themselves in the foot by banning poorly run clubs, as these teams attract the most people/$$$ (Chelsea, Barca, Milan, etc). Not to mention it would exacerbate the situation of those clubs by denying them CL...

It's bothersome because it shows a lack of planning. Y wait till the closing of the transfer window to get rid of him, thereby eliminating any chance of bringing in a replacement? It's foolish any way you spin it, as now were left with only Grosso as cover, who I imagine isn't anywhere near...
