Its still early days for Beppe’s replacement to be judged. I must also concede that he inherited a squad from his former boss, yet on the other hand he played his own role in forming that squad.
June 24, 2020 - 10:20 / AdministratorI gain no pleasure from finding echoes of my own longstanding cynicism emerging from other commentators. For when it comes to Juve, I always want to be proven completely wrong with my repetitive wailing of all that is deflating and worrying.
June 23, 2020 - 10:54 / thegutterpoetPrior to the Corona issue I had started writing this piece in early March, which still seems timely enough to continue with thoughts of the now…
June 5, 2020 - 12:10 / thegutterpoetWith the pulse finally slowing and the draw for our next opponents to soon commence, it seems prudent for me to capture and share my calmer thoughts of our recent progress in the elite continental competition of the planet.
April 21, 2017 - 13:43 / thegutterpoetAs previously reported, it appears that we have invested in Atalanta starlet Mattia Caldara, and our business with the surprise package of the season thus far may not end there.
December 28, 2016 - 10:55 / thegutterpoetWith the international break proving a bother for many, some out of concern for injuries, for others further trauma delaying late in the day tactical adjustments, it seems opportune to bring you an overview of the major happenings in the Juve youth sector.
September 5, 2016 - 12:02 / thegutterpoetAs the Pogba story continues to bore and drag inexorably towards a finale fit for an audience of trainee clowns, I am feeling a suspicion creep up my spine.
August 8, 2016 - 11:12 / thegutterpoetWhilst the interminable focus of the mass media remains steadfastly following Pogba’s bowel movements, I have been pondering our signings to date.
August 1, 2016 - 11:59 / thegutterpoetFresh from a long overdue escape from the citadel, where I stayed in a renovated shack on the side of a valley, found the frogs and kangaroos and a roaring open fire for company
July 27, 2016 - 8:04 / thegutterpoetI should begin with a brief mention of Fabio Grosso. A coach who has achieved a UEFA A coaching licence, the highest of such qualifications available and yet I was previously not at all a fan of his ability to lead, to deploy tactics and nourish the development of our little ones.
July 13, 2016 - 11:53 / thegutterpoetNot since Marchisio have we seen a bona fide home grown star emerge from the youth sector to find a place in the senior side.
June 8, 2016 - 12:11 / thegutterpoetI’ve just had to watch the highlights to seek out anything I may have missed from the match from the first viewing…
May 22, 2016 - 12:13 / thegutterpoetWith the league fixture remaining a chance merely to prance and revel in the afterglow of championship glory, Allegri officially extending his contract and the coppa italia final to look forward to, the time seems ripe to begin a series of appraisals of our progress.
May 10, 2016 - 13:18 / thegutterpoetAs the 2015/2016 season is fast approaching its end and EURO 2016 is beginning to loom over the world of football, the transfer window in turn is awakening from its slumber. The rumour mill has already started grinding out possible (or absolutely not possible, whatever suits the moment) transfers we can expect in the summer.
May 2, 2016 - 11:52 / thegutterpoetI had suspected we would face a sterner test than league positions and recent results would suggest.
April 11, 2016 - 22:21 / thegutterpoetAfter last season’s total failure in all competitions, primavera boss Fabio Grosso has turned the tables this term, not only leading his young charges to top spot in the league campaign but recently achieving victory in the prestigious Viareggio tournament.
April 7, 2016 - 9:54 / thegutterpoetThere is always hesitation vis-a-vis how we will fare after many of our players have been traveling long distance and adopting to different tactics with different players whilst others have been absent of any competitive action.
April 4, 2016 - 1:55 / thegutterpoetSitting in my den of iniquity, the daylight gaining brightness and seeping through the rips in the curtains, I looked upon the entirety of extra time with my heart sinking with every passing second.
March 17, 2016 - 11:25 / thegutterpoetMy preparations for this match have been perfect. After crawling out of bed to find my youngest niece, beloved…
March 15, 2016 - 10:53 / thegutterpoetSassuolo, even absent of Berardi and Defrel, were always going to provide stern opposition. They are a carefully and successfully run club, with a strong focus on youth and maintaining an overwhelmingly Italian nature to their side
