How do clubs measure their players' height? Barefoot or in their football boots? I only ask because I was measured in shoes by my doctor today (which I thought was odd). I was wondering whether it's the standard.

that whenever Spain or Barcelona win something commentators and journalists call it a "victory for football". This happens so frequently and I find it always to be disrespectful to the other team. Am I the only one who notices this and gets bothered by it?

Hey, I'm studying economics and accounting and am about to graduate. Real Madrid's transfer campaign so far has really left me scratching my head. Where do they get their money? First of all, football clubs are not profitable at all. Most clubs, for example Juventus, do not make a profit...

It seems that Emerson is claiming that he was "forced" to leave Juve and would have stayed with them even in Serie B. It wasn't all that long ago I remember him saying "I won't go down with Juve"....What exactly is he trying to achieve? We remember, you big fat liar.

Just recently noticed a bulls-eye on the upper left side of the Inter jersey. It's the Coppa Italia logo, since they finally won a "trophy" last season. Is this something new? It just looks stupid, there is no honor in winning the Coppa Italia. Is the Coppa Italia in any way equal to the...

Just wondering how much the league winners get. And I'm not talking about sponsorship bonuses, just what kind of figures we will be getting from the Italian league.

Was wondering of any ultra groups have "get-togethers" on these boards? Fighters? Drughi?

In an official press release on Juventus.com our CEO, Antonio Giraudo, says "Juventus has nothing to comment on the interview of Saadi Gadaffi to FT. We consider the recent Sponsorship agreement with the Dutch company Oilinvest to be satisfactory and we do not have any worries". What in the...

Is the stadium going to fill up or will there be more fans than usual?

Wow, UEFA really messed up picking the location for the Champions League final. What we are talking about is an Olympic stadium with a Delle Alpi-like view in the middle of Turkey. Why in the world did UEFA pick an olympic stadium ? Sure, the Atatürk Olympic Stadium looks nice and futuristic...

I remember the days of the "seven sisters" of italian football. Being a sister meant you were strong enough to challenge for the title. Back then there were Juve, Milan, Inter, Roma, Lazio, Parma and Fiorentina. I believe that Serie A during that period of time was the strongest league in...

Why are managers of top clubs in England so nasty and take shots at each other when ever they have the chance ? At first I thought it was just a feud between Sir Alex and Wenger, but Mourinho is no different. The Arsenal - Man Utd matches are always a mayhem, and after the game the managers make...

My fellow Juve fans, I just read that 50.000 people showed up at the San Paolo stadium the other day to watch their team (Napoli) play in Serie C1B. Isn't that amazing ? Their attendance is higher than most other teams get in Serie A. A big time movie producer, Aurelio De Laurentiis, bought the...

I mean, AC Milan has one, and yet we have more fans, so why wouldn´t it work for us ?

Now after the fall of Lazio and Parma some other teams battle for the 4th Champions League spot. A couple of teams interest me a lot, teams that have good financial backing and spend their money wisely. Don't get me wrong, I'm pro-Juve all the way, but the teams I mention down here are teams...

Based on the last Deloitte report, Juventus is the second richest club in the world (revenue-wise). Revenues have been going up over the last few years, being 138 million euros in the 99/00 season and after last season we earned 208.2 million (down from 215.4 million the year before which was an...
