Probably Lac but may be not for long...

I have my season ticket, A foolish company has agreed to publish my books, time with my family and keeping the business running may all reduce my participation

sorry Z... i missed that

They arent finished yet, I jus recently had both accepted for publication...

The first is a fictional novel that ive been slowly writing for about 20 years... Its a nasty and brutal samurai tail... Allthough loosely based on real / mythical events and hopefully very accurate in its ways and customs... its mixed with a lil pure fantasy


The second is non-fiction... similar to "A Season with Verona" in many ways, but in my view edgier and with better subject matter

I'm reading that book right now, and it's damn good. Right now Mr. Parks is discussing the match in which he went with the team, Pastorello and all, down to the Lecce match. Some of the most interesting stuff I've ever read.

Tell us when your books come on sale. Or better yet send us a signed copy like Z said. ;)

What ??? :confused:

I didnt even know you wrote books....


Samurai's ?? I am a big fan of that era of Japan, and am an avid fan of the ninja philosophy

"A season with Verona" ?? I loved that book (I recommended it to Andy)

Where do I order the books, Paul ??

Jaecole, I've been catching up on the forums a bit. It seems that Claire aka Fecal Matter aka whatever has been nothing but provocative in her time here.

This is a football forum. Its intention is to focus on football while off-topic issues exist on a smaller, minimal scale. Unfortunately, with all kinds of new fools coming in, this place has degraded to the point where people log on to Juventuz to fulfill their social needs and dysfunctional obsessions.

The only reason Claire was allowed back was because of the cozy little "social family" that has overtaken Juventuz.com like a virus, where people are more interested in gaining attention, and causing controversy.

This shit does not belong here. Does anyone remember the problems people had with Buffon online while they were based on Juventuz? Thats right. 10,000 post members who couldnt manage 50 posts about football. A huge horde of girls, all Buffon fans, socialising in 10,000 post threads like swarms.

Buffon online became bigger than Juventuz itself. The girls were nice people, but there was chaos- a huge division between Buffon Online and the rest of Juventuz. And Buffon Online had to be taken off Juventuz and managed independently by Steen, who afaik is doing a good job.

Buffon Online had to go because it took away from the vision of Juventuz.com. Its vision was something else. I see Juventuz's vision as a football community where people congregate to discuss Juventus. Off topic areas exist for socialising, but with the priority kept on football.

Thats whats happening here. But the problem is that its not easy to separate Juventuz.com's football side from Juventuz.com's social entertainment side, so nothing drastic has been done about it yet.

I post regularly at an Ajax forum. They banned a character after his first post dissing Ajax. Sound harsh? It isnt. That place was a real football forums. No nonsense, no bullshit, all football. No classless flirting, no fake members, no dual accounts, no attention starved visitors, no drama-queens, no wannabes, no nothing that wasnt somehow connected with Ajax.

Now that was a real football community.

Just football.

Josh,

I didnt recognize your new forum name. Welcome back !!!!

This post reminds me of the way things used to be here, where the biggest arguments were who's better, DP or Baggio

Or, when Sagha came to the forum, and caused a whole bunch of controversy regarding Baggio playing in WC 2002 (remember Sagha ?? wonder what happened to him...)


Anyways, things have changed, unfortunately its been for the worse, for the most part

One of the mistakes of this forum is to have allowed political talk- something that was never allowed, until around 2 years ago. When you bring religion, politics, and national pride into things, you can end up seeing the worst of ppl (including me)




As far as this topic goes, if Claire comes back, then I dont have a problem with it.

lifes too short to stay mad about things..... (unless its about Juve !!:D)
