Gazzetta dello Sport

“I see double but I won’t give up”
Ringhio drama.
“The worst has been excluded. In four months we will re-evaluate the situation: if the eye has not healed, I will have surgery”.

Juve-Exam tonight against Fiorentina. Vidal returns

Udinese-Super Di Natale. He is the only Italian in the running for the Ballon d’Or

Roma-Listen to Lamela: “The scudetto? With me we can”

Serie B-Grandfather Simoni sends Gubbio flying. Torino lose

T*ttosport

Sacchi: “Conte will change calcio”
“We must just give him time. Pirlo is the man that Juve were missing. Marchisio would have played in my Milan”. Tonight against Fiorentina the coach will put Vidal back in and asks for help from the fans.

Toro, not like this!
First, shocking defeat for the granata: at Gubbio a goal from Ciofani decides it after another error from Coppola. Shock after the injury to Buchel, caused by Glik, stop the leaders who stopped after the crossbar from Bianchi. Triumph for Simoni. And Ventura is infuriated.

“I need surgery on my eye but I will not retire”

Tommasi talks about the Levante miracle: “The Chievo of Spain”The President of the AIC played for two seasons at the club that are on top of the LIGA.

Corriere dello Sport

Conte fury
The coach is on the attack: “I want my team back!”.
“No proclamations now we must get our credibility back. And hands off of Chiellini and Krasic”. Mihajlovic: controversy.

Ultimatum to Milito, he is playing his chances at Inter

Balotelli discovers himself the new King of England
In Manchester they are crazy over Super Mario after the brace in the derby.

Simoni is the conductor of Gubbio. He wins right away
He returns to the bench at 72 years of age and wins (1-0) against Toro who lead the Serie B.

Good, long read, Corzioli. As a matter of interest, all 3 Bronte sisters had died of 'wasting sicknesses', presumed to be variants of TB. Apparently, their living conditions were quite bad in terms of sanitation.

Interesting article on goal.com about Elia:

Having played just 45 minutes since joining Juventus, is Eljero Elia Serie A's next Ricardo Quaresma or does he need more time?

I seriously don't understand Conte, Juventus and their ridiculous transfer policy:
After getting tons of new players Conte favours Pepe and Giaccherini

What's wrong with that?

Imo, its about what the players offer not only offensively but also how they trackback and defend etc. Pepe in this sense would be favored to Elia or Krasic.

Estigarribia is another one of those hardworking winger types and in the longer run I see him and Pepe taking over the wings regardless of their quality.

In any case, its a luxury for any manager to have so many wingers at his disposal so im sure Conte will give Elia another chance and he has to show his worth if he wants to nail down a spot but he will need to focus on both aspects, not only use his attacking skills.

 

[Mr. Milanista]

another draw today

 

[Gio]

Just hope they beat Inter. Something about them just doesn't sit right with me, they're slowly crawling the way back up the table despite losing four games already this season. They need another demoralising loss, they need to get hammered down into mediocrity, far too early in the season to write them off, and I don't like that.

 

[Fiero]

another draw today

Why not a win for Fierontina? Never say never!

 

[Senatore_M84]

The super-cerci factor will be a problem for JuBe

Cheillini at LB v. him? Bad idea, cause jovetic will tear bonucci/barzaghi up. De Ceglie/Grosso v. Cerci? Bad idea

 

[crazy4milan]

I'll be happy if we're able to get this:

.

BTW, Juventus has to face Inter and Napoli away after this game, moment of truth for them.

 

[acm55]

Official line ups?

 

[crazy4milan]

Official line ups?

Juventus: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pepe, Matri, Vucinic.

Fiorentina: Boruc; De Silvestri, Gamberini, Natali, Pasqual; Munari, Behrami, Kharja; Cerci, Jovetic, Vargas.

 

[Polotelli]

Munari already an starting player???

whats wrong with Buffon??

 

[Fiero]

Munari already an starting player???

Monty is suspended. I'm more annoyed at the fact that Kharja gets to touch the pitch. Where's Lazaurus?!

 

[acm55]

Juventus: Storari; Lichtsteiner, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini; Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio; Pepe, Matri, Vucinic.

Fiorentina: Boruc; De Silvestri, Gamberini, Natali, Pasqual; Munari, Behrami, Kharja; Cerci, Jovetic, Vargas.

Thank YOU!

Monty is suspended. I'm more annoyed at the fact that Kharja gets to touch the pitch. Where's Lazaurus?!

I noticed Munari at Lecce, I think he's good, he deserved a better team (then Lecce )
but he can't replace Monty's role he's not that kinda player

Subs.: Manninger, De Ceglie, Elia, Krasic, Estigarribia, Del Piero, Quagliarella.

Juve have a very weak bench. And why isn't Pazienza on it? I mean they have only 4 midfielders and 3 of them start. If Marchisio or Vidal get injured today they'll be in for a ride, Pirlo can't do two man.

 

[acm55]

Forza Fiorentina!

 

[Sage]

Forza Fiorentina!

 

[Senatore_M84]

jovetic to pull jube cb's out of position all game.

cerci to cut on cheillini who struggled v. pacey wingers.

multiple tongues to be shown.

fiorentina 2-1

 

[MilanMB]

Pink

 

[Senatore_M84]

[Ultra Swan]

I like the pink and black but the star ruins it for me.
