No, it doesn't. To give permission least of all you have to be a person. And on top of that be endowed with the appropriate authority.

Hair splitting is fun.
Personally, I feel that if you are the best, and the rest of the world already knows it, then there is no problem stating it yourself.

What exactly did he say in that interview that was untrue? Did Benitez not walk into a ready made situation?

He sure as hell did man.

Andy, while what you said about Zlatan is true, and that he has moments of selfishness, sometimes a team NEEDS that. A team needs a striker who is absolutely fearless and will not get too down after a missed opportunity or too high after scoring a goal.
We don't need it when we win the ball in midfield, have an opportunity for a counterattack, springing a player who is walking back onsides after the previous play, which was something Zlatan did countless times under Capello.

We need to be forward-looking here.

Lecce about to sign Swedish fullback Lustig who is a starter at our NT. The interesting part is that he's an outspoken Juve fan, hope he can do well enough so he can end up here sometime.

CdS:

Moratti accuses: "We have too many foreign players? Better than fixing matches."

What a piece of shit!!!

:mad:
Man I really wish he'd die a nasty death (some freak accident or something). And his little fag kid who sits next to him in the stands to be raped in some jail and commits suicide eventually.

I'll through one big party the day he dies that motherfucker.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular]Serie A 2010-11 club preview[/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular]Juventus[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Those black and white stripes are renowned up and down the peninsula, respected across Europe and acknowledged around the world, but Juventus will start this term as the great unknown of the Italian championship.

Last season’s disastrous campaign, where a side which was supposedly built to rival Inter only finished seventh, signalled the end of an era and brought round a significant restructuring at firstly boardroom and then squad level.

Andrea Agnelli, the son of former Juve chief Umberto, was handed the Presidency and was soon followed into the club by a trio of individuals who last term guided Sampdoria into the Champions League – director general Beppe Marotta, sporting director Fabio Paratici and Coach Luigi Del Neri.

Having arrived with a clear vision for a new Juventus, all four men have gone about constructing a different, younger and more Italian squad. Instead of building a team around one player, as the last regime attempted following the capture of Diego, there is now a clear tactical project in place given that Marotta has recruited in line with Del Neri’s 4-4-2 philosophy.

The results have split opinion. For some, Juve have invested wisely to strengthen a squad that was ageing and virtually winger-less in 2009-10. Others have been rather more critical, underwhelmed by a collection of signings more reminiscent of a top-four chasing club, like Sampdoria, rather than a Scudetto hopeful which Juve’s history demands.

While some are right to question Marotta’s acquisition of Jorge Martinez, especially for €12m, he has looked to address the evident problems all over the pitch. Marco Storari is a smart buy until Gigi Buffon recovers from his World Cup injury, while one should also applaud the captures of Milos Krasic and the loan swoop for Alberto Aquilani – if he can stay fit.

The signings of Leonardo Bonucci, Marco Motta and Simone Pepe are also potentially good purchases, although Bonucci will have to prove that he was worth the €15m that was invested for him.

Nevertheless, it is the players who have remained and whom Del Neri and Co inherited who could turn out to make the difference. Giorgio Chiellini can be relied upon at the back, but Momo Sissoko, Claudio Marchisio and Felipe Melo need to start delivering some top notch performances in midfield which in turn should aid an attack that hasn’t really changed – even if the transfer window is still open.

Although Marotta spent most of the summer chasing Wolfsburg’s Edin Dzeko, Juve will rely on the same attackers who under-performed a year ago in the hope that, with service from wide areas, Amauri, Vincenzo Iaquinta and David Trezeguet will find the net. Then of course there is a certain Diego and an Alex Del Piero who’ll be itching to assist his beloved Old Lady.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Diego
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]The outfit may have been willing to listen to offers for him during the summer, and still are, but there is no doubt that Diego is the club’s most technically gifted player. Given that he will be used on a more regular basis than 35-year-old Alex Del Piero, the Brazilian has the skills and vision to win games on his own. Whether he does though, given his difficulties last season and the introduction of a 4-4-2, remains to be seen.

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]He could be of use to Prandelli[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Leonardo Bonucci
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]With Fabio Cannavaro now consigned to Azzurri history, a centre-back spot alongside Giorgio Chiellini at international level is up for grabs. Capped just three times so far, Bonucci was a non-playing member of the 2010 World Cup squad. He shone at Bari last season, but can he now deliver on a bigger and more pressurised stage?

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]His time?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Marco Motta
[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]An experienced youth international, Motta has long been tipped for greatness in Italian football. He undoubtedly has all the tools needed to become a top right-back, but he’s struggled to live up to his potential during spells at Udinese and Roma. He could be a vital piece of the jigsaw for club and country.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Responsible for the Chievo miracle, he’s had to rebuild his reputation after problematic spells at Porto, Palermo and Roma. A 4-4-2 disciple, Del Neri did enough in his two seasons at Atalanta to get a shot at the Sampdoria job last season. It proved to be an inspired signing as he led Doria into the Champions League. Then Juve called…[/FONT]

Zeman farts for the millionth time from his mouth.
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, Geneva, Swiss, SunSans-Regular]Zeman hails Totti longevity[/FONT]
Wednesday 25 August, 2010
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Zdenek Zeman believes Francesco Totti is still one of the best players in the world, but criticised Alessandro Del Piero and Antonio Cassano.

The Bohemian, who is back in charge of Foggia, coached Totti at Roma and has always held him in high esteem.

“Francesco is eclectic and can play wherever,” Zeman said. “He has carried Roma on his back for 15 years.

“Del Piero on the other hand is no longer indispensable. Cassano is a talent, but he has never been decisive.”

Unsurprisingly, considering his past, Zeman then attacked Juventus and Inter.

“The Nerazzurri won the Champions League playing anti-football, not as a team who passes for the best in Europe.

“As for Del Neri, I won't talk about him seeing that he does things that aren't in my spirit.”

Zeman saved his most damning barb for last when he hit out at Marcello Lippi, the former Italy and Juventus Coach.

“I didn't like his years at Juventus where I think he actively participated in Calciopoli,” he concluded.

    Fans will have to wear ID cards around their neck this season?

    It seems number of fans on stadiums will decrease a lot because of the same.
