Honestly, if I see a pass longer than 10 yards in the next game, I will turn the TV off right away.
We had enough of them!
exactly my point though...we had nooo gameplan!

we pushed players up but played the long ball (perhaps understandibly due to pitch conditions) BUT, we pushed players up when we could have just waited and let Arsenal attack...

the point was that we made some ok longball passes which could have been optimized had we have just sitted back more and defended..

I said that after our win against Palermo (along with Vinni)at the start of the year. most of you told us that we are pessimists.
only against bremen we had a plan, the "Wiese Plan"

does juve deserve to win the champions?
i was very sad when we've lost the final 2002-2003,we have played very good matches eliminating spanish teams one after the other(depor-barca-real)and showing great performances.
but what are we showing this year?
nothing at all
in the first leg,bayern played better than us in the 2 matches.
against bremen ,they were far the better side in the 2 games but we've passed by this strange mistake by their keeper.
and then now against arsenal,all was terrible,we had one shot on goal during the game ONLY ONE shot on goal against a very average defence.
if milan or inter can win this competition,then they can be proud of it.
inter had a point against ajax in holland and then he didnt just get a draw in italy which was sufficient to his qualification,he won with a superb goal and had a very equilibrated game.and yesterday he came from behind to beat a very good villareal.
the same with milan .they got one point from germany against bayern and then it was a show with 4 goals in italy.
barca is more significative with 16 points out of 18 beating the same werder we suffered against home and away in the first round and with a very connvincing win against chelsea in the last 16.
it's clear that i will support always this team,the team i've began to support 10 years ago and i will be sad also after our very probable elimination but not because of the elimination,because of the bad performance we've showed.
i believe that it's not always the best who wins,but never the worst wins and right now juve is the WORST team in the last 8.
i hope we will be better in the the next leg though i doubt.
FORZA JUVE

This reminds me of Arsenal vs Bayern Munich last year.

They destroyed us 3 - 1 last year, Kolo Toures goal in the last minute gave us hope for the 2nd leg.

At home everyone was down like you guys fans and players, we had to beat them 2- 0 at Highbury just like you guys.

We really wanted that early goal but we never got it, it was the 2nd half ,it got to the 60th minute and HENRY scored a superb goal from a BEAUTIFUL PASS FROM FABREGAS.


Sadly we never got that all important 2nd goal. Bergkamp came really close and a great header from Toure forced a super save from Kahn.

1 - 0 it ended but we where all proud of our players as they played with pride and won the game. Could have been 2 - 0 but it never was.

Juve need Arsenals mentality that night and if they get that early goal we never got then they will have a great chance

Dont give up lads.

Unfortunately we don't have Arsenal's "Arsenal" if you know what i mean :D

we have no attack, now especially Camonarese is not playing..with the line-up we will be able to play..i doubt we can get more than a draw..(realistically)...but ofcourse deep down we all still have hope for a miracle..

thanks man but our football is very disgusting. Zlatan does not have the same spark he had last year. Del Piero is playing beter indeed, but still he is relatively weak and nothing too special. But he does score, and hopefully he can score on wed. The thing is that if you don't have attack that attracts the ball possesion then you have nothing and the defense will be more under pressure and obviously more chances for defesive blunders.
I think Buffon is a good goal keeper, but he always conceedes when there is some kind of confusion in the back. Where is Totti when you need one.

Thats my Formation so far.
Yes! I agree. Or DP behind MUTU and TREZ. Also if Camo was included I would play something like that in every match. Hope Capello leaves in the summer!!

KoloToure: I don't think we will go through, becasue we simply don't have the players. What you said was right, the least I ask for on Wednesday is a performance from the players that will restore some PRIDE.

CapeLOL will never do it, but here's my formation-

Buffon

Thuram Canna Chellini

Olivera Emo Gianni Zamby

Neddy

DP/Mutu Trez


DP to start if healthy

we need a RM, and Olivera will have to do

other idea I have is a 3-4-3, where Neddy would take Gianni's place in the midfield, and Mutu would come in as a third striker

I agree with this set up, though I would start Kovac on defense.

this formation is really unbalanced, chiellini doesnt qualify to play as a CB so he needs to be on the flank,and kovac would take his place in the backline.

i dont like olivera that much, so i guess it would be balza there or even chiellini.

Thank u for not putting mutu behind the strikers cuz he isnt cut for it basically, and if we want to get the best out of mutu i gues he should play in a 3 man attack, as he cant play as a midfielder very imo.He does the job but most of the time not very well

all year i've been positive, and am telling myself to continue this way...but for this game i cant,the last game was too depressing and we will need a miracle to overturn that result.

But as a true juventino , my heart is with the team(the whole team)

Dateline: 1945 hours 28 March 2006. Chxta was stuck at work on the 13th Floor of UBA House Marina (E-payments Department) with his boss Ernest Uduje, and Ike Kanu, a manager in UBA. We were trying to figure out why the UBA VPN is simply refusing to accept e-payments over a secure network. You see, there is no point doing e-payments if your network is not secure, so it just has to work...


Correction.


Dateline: 1945 hours 28 March 2006. Ernest Uduje and Ike Kanu were brainstroming trying to figure out why the UBA VPN was not accepting e-payments over a secure network, while Chxta was sitting with them, silently cursing them, all who gave birth to them, and Kunle Adeniji, the UBA staffer who got us into the mess in the first place, and promptly left at 1900 in order to get home on time and watch the same match that Chxta was now obviously going to miss. This state of affairs continued up until 2025 hours when the first text message arrived. In total I have received 53 text messages since that message...


The first message read: Goal 2 Arse, Fabregas (39). Shit!!!. It came from Ade Adene, a Juventino like myself, whom I had sent an SOS to update me on the situation since I wouldn't be watching the game. He did his best, and I can't after the match seriously say that I envy him based on what I have heard of our performance so far...


The second text message came from Mayowa Adekoya, a colleague of mine who said: Told u men, we spanking ur butts.... Hope it continues. That text was the first of a deluge of texts from Arsenal fans which I can't be arsed to type, but I will go through a choice few before making a little comment about the performance based on the report I read on Soccernet.com.


Two of the more outstanding texts came last night, the first from Osas Iyasere went: Old lady comes to Highbury to suck our dicks. Forza Arsenal. That text for me is so distasteful and is very much the work of a brainless cunt. Osas, if you are sexually deprived why not go and find an asewo for service? What are you sending obscenities to me for? Besides, the last time I saw you (a year ago now), you were screaming Up Chelsea. Before that you were screaming Up ManU. So what happened? At least I am stable with my club, not jumping from club to club depending on who is doing well at the moment. Then what is this Forza Arsenal? How ignorant can you get? Forza is for Italian teams. Get a life and try and learn more about football. The other outstanding text was a benign one from Andrew Enenmoh who said, Gunners 4 life. The old lady went down. I cant really beef u because of ur mail of dis morning. How u dey? At least someone remembers that I had earlier written of my fears concerning the game, so what is all the gloating about?


Ayo Soebi said, no excuses, we whipped u good. True, Ayo and I will say enjoy your glory. I won't support Arsenal against any other team except they get to the final and are facing Milan. For crying out loud, I would support Chelski against Milan, so nothing new there. Julum Nwanze, my baby brother simply sent this: hehehe... I owe him a beating next time I see him, problem is that he is a head taller than I am and he gyms! Then again, he is still full of youthful exuberance, while my joints are beginning to creak from age!


Peter Ikenebomeh said, cheta i lost a lot of money on juve's head and a lot of arses are gloating at me. find a better team to support. dat was d worst display ive seen in dis champions league. Pete, I never asked u to bet on Juve. We've known each other 20 odd years and while you've been a ManU fan for some 8 years now, I've been a Juve fan for 22 odd years now. Why should I change teams? Sorry we put up such a piss poor display, and I am embarrassed as well, and saddened at the same time, but then again, I clearly stated yesterday that we haven't been playing well at all, and from what all the reports say, it shows. You need to visit the forum Juventuz.com, and see how Juventini the world over are clamoring for Don Fabio's head.


Akachi Okoro said, Sorry ur team took such a trashin. Going forward tell them not to be so reckless when behind. They've killed the return leg for themselves. Now that text brings us to what should be in about 8 days time. Sorry to say, but based on what everyone at Juventuz says, even the most optimistic Juventini believe that we are out of it this year, so what can I who didn't watch the match say? We couldn't even get an away goal!


The Champions is over for us this season, so let us manage the scant consolation of lo scudetto number 29. Forza Juve.

As for all you Arsenal fans, abeg make my phone rest.
