Yeah, "for you people blah, blah, blah..."

For you people, you just accept any shit given to you.

Save the bullshit, Sheik.

You know what's the best thing, right? What Del Piero wants is irrelevant.
Oh get real! There's NOTHING we can do to change this. We have no say in the matter! If we could've done something to influence this, then we would've. But NO! Agnelli has already made the decision. The contract is not getting renewed. Del Piero is leaving. Rather than not accepting it in the hope that Agnelli will turn his decision around, you should be cherishing this win and the prospect that DP's getting the best farewell currently possible. Cherishing every little thing that Ale gives us in these final moments rather being a greedy leech and hoping he stays and gives you more.

What are you even talking about now? You said, explicitly, that he had no final game. What does that even mean? He got an absolutely great send-off (minus being subbed a little early for injury) for his Serie A career. He lifted a bloody league trophy after an unbeaten season. How many legends can claim that? He was showered by the fans in adoration. What more do you want? If anything, Nedved was the unlucky one.
Now here here... So his final game(which you consider the one today and its still mind-boggling how) was great, because we've won the season or because he 'was showered by the fans in adoration'? Because 'Nedved' was also warmly greeted by everyone and the fans... Which leaves 'because we've won the scudetto', but Ale has so much of those he even threw away a few. Actually, 'the club' lost some for him too.
That is why I would like a real show of affection from the club. Something that shows they value him more than his contract worth. Didn't even see Agnelli wearing a DP#10 shirt ffs.

If you really think he won't get some sort of testimonial then you're more of a cynic than I am. That's saying a lot.
Sure it does. You aren't the be all and end all.


Bordeaux? What was wrong with it? The final itself, you mean? We earned that victory regardless of the tragedy (that the players weren't even aware the full extent of).
Bordeaux? What was wrong with it? Than again my previous statement might not be true. You might be the be all end all with regards to cynicism after all.

I'm sorry. Now you've just gone off on some bizarre tangent. What the fuck does cheating scum like Suarez and his action have anything to do with that particular final? Seriously, explain that.
In one word CLASS. Or the lack of. I thought you ought to try your own medicine, no? At least before 'healing' others.

What more could the club have done? It was a good send-off, all things considered, particularly the context of how it closed the season. I get the feeling someone like you wouldn't have been satisfied unless Agnelli came out on the pitch and kissed the man's feet or something ludicrous. First you say the fans showed him off properly, but then... they didn't and only were concerned about the unbeaten record? You're not making much sense.
No stop! Don't start daydreaming with 'kissed the man's feet or something ludicrous' and such gibberish. First, answer one, much simpler and straighter question: What have they done?

Anyway they aren't right it's not a day to argue. Besides everyone has his own views regarding topics, its just quite perplexing to me that a man claiming he would prefer his team to lose than win with unsportsmanlike conduct isn't bothered at all if in a game we are all cheering and jeering and others are dying. To each his own as I said.

Let's not argue for one day in Del piero's thread, out of respect to the great captain. How about we celebrate today and you can get back to your Debbie Downer mood tomorrow
This is what Greg and I were saying! His biggest fans are in mourning and I don't want to upset anyone more than they already are. :smile: He contributed his life to the team and I am grateful for his loyalty.

It's therapy, alright. It's also stupid, irrational, and totally ignoring the bigger picture. It's ignoring the glorious moment of achievement for the club and all its players(Ale included), and focusing on the exit of their favourite player.

Oh, it's also disgusting!
