We have been here too many times…

Monday muttering on Juve…

Many of us have our own versions of support for a club, of bond to the managers, colours, history, successes, failures, greatest and worst players. It differs from fan to…

Arthur gunned down…replacement needed???

Rumours abound of our brazillian midfielder Arthur, many of them ugly, and to my mind, unwarranted. Whether we were expecting him to return somehow transformed into a world class component…

Squad matters

No doubt like many with some italian blood flowing through their veins you are recovering from the carnival of tension, hope, fear and ultimate glory from this morning…the wake-up alarm…

EUROS – OPEN THREAD

The revolution to continue?

Browsing the muddled, generally ME ME ME twitter realm earlier today when strewn happily on a bed of sand with the soothing symphony of the ocean lapping at the shoreline…

Sunday eve pondering…

Decent performance all over the field against Samp. One of the first games I can recall where we felt in control from start to finish when up against even an…

new year mutterings

Buon Anno, comrades…from here in the garden, the hounds set to howling, fire warming as the end dawns of my flurry of too many nights prancing with the vodka vixen…

Dybala-gate – mangled mutterings

“I think that goals mean a lot to us strikers in particular, it gives us confidence and I really needed it,” Dybala told Sky Sport Italia. “For many games I…
