i dont think anybody here on this forum who considers themselves a juventus fan hates del piero "per se". hate i a too strong word.
at least i dont hate him
Well then, why are you always on his case? As long as he's being praised, even if according to you more than he deserves, in a thread that is named after him, then so be it. Let it slide.
When others infringe on another player that you think is better than Del Piero, then counter that with arguments...not just jokes, and belittling statements about Del Piero denying him what he fully deserves.
I, for one, enjoy seeing him play. I do so more than I enjoy watching anyone else in the world. That's me. Watching Juventus play is an enjoyment, but a Juve with Del Piero is 5 times as good to me. So yes, whenever he does something fancy or dribbles past someone, I like to see it over and over again. That's just me and my taste in football (me and many many others), am I doing anything wrong?
