With 3 rounds remaining in Serie A and Juventus leading Milan by 3 points, I decided to go and have a look at our team's tendencies in previous seasons when it comes to the final matches..

I didn't bother looking around for the details from 99/00 and 98/99...
I didn't really post these statistics to prove anything in particular, I just wanted to see how we fare in the latter stages of the season.
It seems like we perform fairly decently when it comes to the crunch, especially in the 00/01 and 01/02 seasons.
Season 1999/00 was one of the most painful for Juve fans around the world, as Pierluigi Collina condemned us to losing the title by making us play against Perugia in a swimming pool
As I said, this wasn't meant to prove anything in particular, I just decided to check it out. Let's hope we can keep up our W W W W W record this season. Forza Juve
