Yep, he did poach, good for him, at least he didn't have the time to miss as many chances as he usually does. I seriously do not understand what you see in these types of players. And as much as I don't like Pazzini's style, I still prefer him over this pretty boy any day of the week

I think you're too harsh on some. You say he wastes chances, he's had 10 shots in Serie a. 10. Hardly a lot. He's scored 3 of them too.

I think it was terrible on both sides. Juve's penalty was just as terrible and before Matri's second goal there was a hand ball from Vidal I think.

I'd need to see it again. I think his arms weren't outside of his body so it's difficult to give handball. But as I said, I could be wrong. Giovinco was basically untouched for the penalty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Not too harsh, just don't think players like Matri or Pazzini belong at lubs like Juve and Milan and in the long run this always end up going sour. You think Pazzini will last here more than 2 seasons? And the only reason Matri is still there is because the Juve management are procrastinating on the striker issue. Had they bought someone great, they would have already won this title. Hands down. And I think this shortcoming will also be something that holds them back in Europe once they face the real top clubs.

Yep, his hands were not out, but the ball still hit his arm and had that happened at any other moment the ref would have most likely called the foul. It's once again the same case of trying to corrent one wrong with another so the teams can be "equal"

I do agree and I never said they are good enough. Matri isn't good enough for Juve, but Pazzini is good enough for what we are. They're good enough for high end Europa League teams in my opinion and that's basically what we are. We're not your usualy Serie A CL quality team - not with how we spend anyway.

I think Vucinic/Giovinco will be the only players still at Juve up front in 2 years time probably. Matri, Quags and Bendtner ((IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) will be gone.

Respectfully disagree with that bit but I won't go into it again. No matter how rough a moment we're in, Pazzini is still not good enough for us.

And he won't be good enough to help in our 3rd spot push, if SES has trouble in the 2nd half of the season then we're completely f@cked and THAT is when we'll actually become an EL team because we'll literally be playing in it come next season

Even Vucinic is pretty terrible on his days. I think out of all their strikers Vucinic has the biggest love/hate relationship with the Juve fans. He can have a couple of really great games and then go one a terrible run with huge misses and even lazier plays.

The amount of chances Juve players miss in each game has got to be a league record

Did you see their miss from 2 feet out? Shocking and ridiculously funny.

Juve are going to walk to this title if Inter are their biggest challenge

Yeah, I saw it. Somehow I felt they would score a second, but good for us they didn't. If we win tonight, we'll only be 5 points behind. Now let's hope Lazio and Napoli stumble today as well.

Llorente to juve in July on a free it seems. He's obviously great value for free, but I don't think he's that elite striker they need to make them a true top European team in my opinion.

Yep, agreed. But that's good for us.

Agreed. And I'm iffy about Spanish players coming to Serie A. The past has thought us that this rarely works out well. Llorente is a decent player, but Juve would do better getting Drogba imo. He's still a great player

Had no idea where to put this, and indeed there was no thread for this in the match forum, so this seems the most prudent place:

We played a friendly today, or rather, we tried. I believe it was away to some tiny team called Prescota or something, but the match will be remembered for the wrong and right reasons.

Apparently a section of the home support took to booing and racially abusing Boateng - who had enough after a while, belted the ball towards them and applauded the decent fans before walking off in protest.

As did the rest of the team.

Pro Patria was the teams name, and yes, we've discussed this on another thread.
