    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    Do you think we would have eliminated Villareal if we came up against them because I seriously doubt that. I am not downplaying anything as Villareal eliminating Panathinaikos is the same as we eliminating Chelsea when you consider the pedigree of all the teams involved. You are making it...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    I have to laugh at this because it looks so simple but it is so complicated. No it is not obvious because a side like ours that has a manager far too cautious and not a winner by nature has this kind of handicap. I had not heard of BATE before this season's cl but we could not defeat them...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    I am not denying him anything but I do not think we should let that champions league final miss cloud our judgment on this player. He has played far too many games for my liking this season as his form has not deserved it. I am not saying he should not play or whatever but why almost every...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    Would you not be disappointed if your team went down 2-1 to a team of not many quality players and with their best defender sent off? I do not know how much of Chelsea you watch but I am not interested in the past or reputations of teams just what they are currently doing and currently...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    What are you talking about? You were the 1 that brought up the fact that Villareal were in an "easy" group and only had to get to the quarters by defeating lowly Panathinaikos. This is a question to you and Stephen which of the 2 clubs Villareal or Juventus even in today's climate is richer and...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    Why is Hiddink too good? Am i missing something or did Juventus get the better of Chelsea over both legs? If not the usual caution by most Italian managers we should have really gone for a goal at Stamford bridge and things would have been very different. Apart from the fact that Drogba is...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    I dont think anybody is bashing him for yesterday's performance but the tactics and formation were forced upon him. Like Avram Grant at Chelsea when he had all those players out, he had no other choice but to start with what he had so let us go easy on the praise there. We lost the game at...

    No I would not have started with him I would have brought him on. In case you have not noticed I aint a sentimentalist and I would not start Nedved as I feel we have better alternatives. Emphasis on finishing the game not starting the game, you know the way France were able to beat Italy...

    Claudio Ranieri

    Oh I thought I made that clear by saying they played with 4 central midfielders and I meant that they did not pose a threat down the flanks unlike how Kalou tortured Molinaro in the 1st leg. Did we or did we not go 1-0 up in the first half? Iaquinta was making runs behind the defence and...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    I partially agree with you except for the part about not pleased with the performance as I thought we did well last nite compared to the nonsense we carved up at the bridge. Unfortunately Juventus fans have now become what Inter fans used to be always playing the victim card. The constant...

    Claudio Ranieri

    Excuse me but what is funny about the above formation? If you want to win football matches you have to be brave enough to take risks and what is this obsession with stopping the opponent instead of believing in your own abilities? The fact is that Ranieri put out that formation by default, it...

    [Champions League] JUVENTUS 2-2 Chelsea (03/10/2009)

    I hate to break this lovefest of being glorious in losing but I have to. We lost this tie at Stamford bridge as Chelsea as I have been saying for so long are nothing special. I knew it will be extremely difficult to keep them out and that proved the case but it should have been oh so...

    [Champions League] Chelsea 1-0 JUVENTUS (02/25/09)

    Barcelona and Villareal have a chance of qualifying so they could say they are flying the flag for their country but all in all the Spanish teams have been very disappointing. Why do pro juve performance no matter what use Barcelona as a yard stick? We are far away from them in terms of...

    [Champions League] Chelsea 1-0 JUVENTUS (02/25/09)

    You do realise that we spent more money in 2 seasons than Chelsea have as Roman seems to be spending more money paying to ex managers than players. To the person that said 1 chelsea fan out of thousands praised Marchinonni thereby making Marco to be some fantastic talent, please bear in mind...

    [Champions League] Chelsea 1-0 JUVENTUS (02/25/09)

    In all honesty I thought we wiould beat Real Madrid at home but not to beat them away but Schuster's side was not very good defensively but Chelsea are. Besides that was a league format game that it was affordable but not in knockout stage it gets harder and we are not exactly an attacking...

    Not everyone has the facility to watch football on the net and you should know that and it should be harder to watch serieB matches. Its been years since the away goal rule has come into play and people are still regarding the home leg as the important one. I think if 2 sides are matched it...

    Excuse me but what the hell is that all about? Those the have less than 500 posts are not entitled to an opinion because Gus Hiddink said that he was not satisfied that his side decided to sit back? Is that not the point of the disappointment of those that expect the best out of their team...

    Firstly about me posting links to my blog on here it is because I do not want to duplicate and there are some people believe it or not that like what I write. Besides I post links about Juventus or things to do with this site that I would normally write on here. I write things not concerning...

    [Champions League] Chelsea 1-0 JUVENTUS (02/25/09)

    Anyone who is proud of that performance needs a reality check as they seem to tolerate mediocrity. For this side to make any sort of impact in Europe then the likes of molinaro, legrottaglie, marchionni, sissoko etc have to be dropped in favor of quality. I am sorry but I had to dissect this...
