I was in 'tuz all those years.

Will never forget those miserable times we had to suffer as fans.

If someone told me we'd win 7 in a row, would never ever believe it, almost lost all hope.
That’s why I always say to those ungrateful cunts who moan about our “shitty” style of play and who get bored of winning Scudetti - it wasn’t that long ago that we were relegated to B and suffered thru the Cobolli Gigli/Blanc/Secco/Zaccheroni/Delneri years.

First VAR scudetto and Napoli were a real challenge this year. They almost won this one. But we were better. As we have been for 7 years now. This is a special time to be a Juve supporter.

This was so great. After we almost lost it to Napoli, now we know that from now on we must give our all even to win this and the Coppa.

7 in a row, this is a continental record, no? Let go to 10 :weee:

This has to go down as one of the best if not the best scudetto, the amount of trolling... 3 weeks ago people wrote us off, Naples were already celebrating. Seriously this is Maggio 5 x million.

Sticking it to the haters who still believe we buy the refs, even with VAR we proved them wrong

SUCA7EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I've not stopped laughing for about 3 weeks given the epic troll job we completed.

Had a great evening down the famous 3 kings pub in London which shows all the Juve matches celebrating the league title tonight

Dominance. Great to win yet again. For a moment there I thought we may even end the year trophyless.

This in a way was the greatest satisfaction since the first Conte scudetto as the competition from Napoli was very strong this year. They will probably end the season with 91 points. Normally that should be enough!

Next year I suspect Milan will be in the top 4 and Napoli and Roma will be giving us a good fight.

I wonder how we will muster up the motivation for an 8th title.

- - - Updated - - -

To sum up - over the course of the season - here are some of my observations on individual players:

Positives:

Douglas Costa - Really makes a difference to this team - great addition.
Matuidi - Low profile but really helped the team balance enormously.
Benatia - Really lifted his game this season compared to last - really helped fill the Bonucci void.
Asamoah - Surprisingly useful this season.

Encouraging:

Bentancur - Still young but showing good promise at his young age.
Bernardeschi - Haven't really seen the best of him but showed good performances.
Szcesny - Was pretty much flawless every time he was called upon.
De Sciglio - Wasn't terrific by any means but was better than expected.

Inconsistent:

Dybala - When on song he is a superstar. But too often dissapointed relative to expectations.
Higuain - If you ignore that he cost 90m, he made a valuable contribution. But not making the impact you would expect and that is not just in the big games.
Khedira - Had just as many good games as bad games.
Buffon - I know its sacralidge to say in his last year but his mistakes came through more often than in previous years and that cost us dearly - especially in Europe.

Dissapointing:

Sandro - Definately his worst year. Shadow of his former self.
Barzagli - Showing his age in the big games.
Rugani - I say dissapointing given his lack of playing time. Perhaps Allegri knows something we don't.
Mandzukic - Not as big as last year for us.

---

Other players like Chiellini, Pjanic performed in line with expectations in the end.

---

I didn't watch every single game this season - particularly towards the end so my assesment may be off.

We are apparently the most dominant domestic team in European history :touched:

in the whole world:

Rangers - Scotland - 54
Linfield - N. Ireland - 52
Penarol - Uruguay - 49
Celtic - Scotland - 49
Nacional - Uruguay - 46
Olympiacos - Greece - 44
Olimpia - Paraguay - 40
Al Ahly - Egypt - 40
Benfica - Portugal - 36
River Plate - Argentina - 36
Juventus - 36
Milan 18 + inter 17 = 35

Let's also give credit to Napoli, they played a great season and pushed us to the maximum. They already tied Milan's 2005/06 seasons record as the best runner up ever with 88pts, and if they win their last game, they will tie our points record of last 2 seasons at 91pts. If that happens, this will be the 1st time ever 2 teams finished with 90+pts in a top league not named La Liga, who did it 6 times in the Ronaldo and Messi era (09/10, 10/11, 11/12, 14/15, 15/16, 16/17). There is more. If Roma wins their last game, they would have more points than the 3rd placed teams in England, Spain, Germany (added 12pts to Dortmunds 55, since they play 4 less games) and France, and if Lazio win, they would tie Pools points total and could have more than their equals in the other leagues (depending on Marseilles outcome in their remaining game). This for all you "Serie A is weak" bunch
