Sutnop, I was sitting around pondering an escape to the final in Manchester, and after your post, you may well have swayed my decision. Save me a seat?
As ever, your post was timely, interesting, and full of passion and verve so desperately missing sometimes. Thank you for it, and for the bizarre insults as well. I may not support their sentiment, but hell, it's you.

As a result, I understand and embrace them. All I know of Manchester is what Morrissey sings. It ain't a pretty picture the Pope of Mope sets, but hey, he's got issues.
tank you
fianlly someone who understands me
ALtough I know you don't share my view about Manchester and UK (who I know from before you find quite nice)
Its a view I have...
Just as I thought Braveheart is a movie about how uncivilzed savages, Attack Civilization.....
but hey thats my viewpoint and you can ask me to retreat on it.
:frown:
As far as Denco goes I am sorry but I don't see how I supporter can be undervaluing the team so extremeley all the time....
(I mean as supporters we tend to greatley overestimate the ability of a team)
But come on Terrible Midfield!?
What Team has a better one!?
THIS is the greatest part of Juventus field IMO....
As far as Birindelli please he is top10 full backs now.
Maybe you :groan: can't see his qualities.
But His first 5m Acceleration is amongst the 5th best in the world.
only to be beaten by R Carlos, Ljungbergh, Overmars, Martins...
If this is his only performance then what about Barca both Legs. Depor game first game this one of the greatest goals for Juve this season it lifted the whole team!!!
(And I was so happy because some many people have given this guy so much shit :down: including myself and he finnaly came back showing us all what a quality player he is :super: he is probably the squads most underated player)
As far as Tacchi I have heard complaints about him too
but he is ITaly's best Central Midfielder currently.
Tudor remember who clumpsy and the blunders he use to make a few seasons ago
Now with Lippi he is flawless.....
Even the players who have been disappointing me the most this
Season Zalayeta and Zambrotta.
Have Exceeded my expectations Zambrotta in this game
And Zalayeta in Barcelona.
Altough this guy doesn't have neither speed or skill
but his heart and strength is remarkable....
He never gives up
and when you play again Zalayeta it hurts :devil: ask De Boer....
The guy will sacrfice his body like few strikers for Juve taking all kinds of beating but mostly giving out a beating. And his goal against Zalayeta was the ultimate proof that he loves Juve, and the ultimate victory over the Juve fans that had been booing him just some weeks ago in BOlogna.
Lippi makes every player rise to the occasion!
