My Dutch facebook timeline is going crazy about Juve, hehe never tought that would happen.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Just talking with my girlfriend about when we went to see Juventus in Raleigh over the summer, about how if someone had told me we'd finish third that evening I would have been ecstatic.

 

[Yurt]

Del Piero: This league has a very special flavor after difficult years

Buffon: I thought of Del Piero. I thought of Camaronesi, Trezeguet and Nedved. And I thought of my family.

Legends, redeemed.

Alright I'm out for a few to jump around in my small apartment and celebrate DDDDDDDDDDDDD Words cannot describe how happy I am right now

 

[Paracelsus]

Atto di forza.

 

[Salvadora]

Where did Juventus come last season?

 

[elseanio]

Congrats Juve. So happy for del Piero, what a legend

 

[Clegg]

Well, at least Pogba is moving to a league winning side.

 

[Fry]

Always nice to see a team in black and white winning the league

Liverpool needs to re-hire Benitez, he's the man they need to start working again on athleticism.

7th, and 7th the season prior.

Incredible.

Juventus is back in business bitches.

 

[Kyoufu]

hope for Everton!

Fixed

Watching MOTD, on my 7th cup of coffee trying to sober up. Fuck i'm gonna get sacked in the morning must sober up.

CIIITTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

 

[Salvadora]

I do wonder who will take over from Dalglish. I suppose nearly anyone would be an improvement.

 

[PaulLFC]

Well done Juve

 

[Clegg]

Big Sam.

 

[Wessiej]

So we've got

Spain: Real
England: City
Germany: Dortmund
Italy: Juventus
Netherlands: Ajax
France: Montpellier/PSG

Okay, most of them are cool.

NO

 

[Splatt]

McLeish.

 

[Carbonox]

Spain: Real
England: City
Germany: Dortmund

Netherlands: Ajax
France: Montpellier/PSG

Okay, most of them are cool.

When the usual predictions are

Spain: Barcelona
England: Man Utd
Germany: Bayern Munich
Italy: AC Milan/Inter
Netherlands: Anyone these days
France: Anyone these days

It's usually nice to see a different set of winners. The France league really took a massive turn with Lyon winning so much then becoming shite.

I do wish people would stop with the ridiculous over-exaggerations like this.

I'm of course not going to say it was an extremely successful season, because it wasn't. Our league form was poor to say the least. However we won one cup, and got to the final of another. And although it was through the cup win, we got into Europe. The lesser of the two European competitions yes, but a European competition at least. Two cup finals is better than a lot of teams did this season - even one final is.

That isn't an excuse for the league form obviously. It's a separate achievement, and a good one. So in summary, league form poor, cup form very good = okay season. Nothing spectacular, nothing absolutely awful either.

 

[K1LLER7]

Congrats Juve-Gaf.

 

[Yen]

I'd like Kenny replaced, would take Benitez back in a heartbeat. However, I really don't think Dalglish will be sacked, despite our season being a disaster. He's too popular and possibly too stubborn to step down.

 

[Sage00]

Congrats Juve!!! So happy for you.

I don't think you watched the same Carling Cup final as I did.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Madrid, City and Juve winning regular seasons.

Something has changed.

 

[Kyoufu]

So what's the story behind Juve's rise from mediocrity?

 

[elsk]

Congrats Juve!!! So happy for you.

How was Emilio today? :/

 

[fadetoblack]

Why did we win the league? Simple. 19 goals allowed. Less than twenty. Second highest is Milan, and they've let in 32. If we were more clinical up front then easily we would have dominated the league. But basically we won the league by playing an exciting style of football but at the same time maintaining a defense worthy of the best of Italian champions.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

So what's the story behind Juve's rise from mediocrity?

Briefcases and moneyhats?

Where did he state the cup final was spectacular? If that is indeed what you're implying.

I'm a huge Juve fan, but money has a large part to play in our success too.

interesting thing is that every team you listed played badly in the cl/el
coincidence?

zero losses

'cup form very good'

If only this had happened il 5 maggio again, if only..

The more you play in Europe the more fatigue you are for the competition, so it could be a thing.

What about United? lol

 

[Zabojnik]

Well, we did a lot of things right last summer, starting with getting Pirlo and Vidal, but without Conte's genious there would be no scudetto. The right man in the right place.

And was it not, when reaching one final and winning another? Who did Liverpool beat to get to the two finals?

 

[Willkiller]

Woah, that last shot of the Bolton fan on MOTD really looked like Christopher Nolan.

 

[Wessiej]

What about United? lol
