QUOTE (TriniKing_CE @ Nov 20 2008, 10:38 AM)  Lol - I see you have a bit more hate for the club than I realised! Na, hate is too strong a word. A person like me would have a very hard time hating something. Besides, take a look at my avatar, it's probably the friendliest thing you'll ever see in your life. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I don't even hate inter. I just dislike them. Same goes for Juve. But I abso-funkig-lutely hate, despise, abhor, detest, loath, abominate, revile, can't-stand-a-minute of Napoli. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Ha! Glad to get that off my chest. Joking, of course! |

QUOTE (acid911 @ Nov 20 2008, 07:35 AM) And that little devil played for them too (Maradona). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I also recall how their fans treated Milan players back when they were Serie A leaders. It was always Milan vs Napoli for the top spot, for a few years at least. And that defeat last year that confined us to UEFA Cup. And oh, don't get me started on the TV rights stuff. I bet they don't even allow opponent fans entry into their stadium. And how on God's good earth did they build a stadium as big as that to call their own. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif) It's the third largest stadium in Italy. The only good thing about it is the name (San Paolo), otherwise I'd even suspect some underhand dealings and illegal stuff that went into building such a structure. Darn, on second thought, they've got some very talented young players, though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Na! Now, I must disagree. I love them. Heck yes, they are rivals to us sure, but they represent the Italian south, always bitter and ready to show off whenever they can to the Milan-Torino clubs. That gives a bit of a charme to me. IMO Napoli is a very unique city, with a unique mentality. They once pushed me away from an open parade. It was mid-March and it begun to be unexpectedly cold, so I put a red scarf...and well. They didn't like that color. Maradona isn't my exact favorite player. But Gianfranco Zola? Daniel Fonseca? Oh,...Cannavaro?Them I really like. |

I hate them as an Milan rival, Fill. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As a club they're very half decent.

I certainly don't remember Diego's Napoli, but have to admit, they're now my second favorite team in Italy, without a doubt. their speedy, attacking football somehow makes me feel better after I watch a Milan game!
Hope they make it to the CL. a very tough task but they have the necessary means to do so. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif) It's just the way they are, arrogant, riding on the success they achieved with that dozer. That's not to say they are a bad unit, currently. Napoli has some great players in the squad. |

QUOTE (goal.com) Juventus Reveal New Stadium Plans Juventus will unveil the plans for their new stadium this evening in Turin, and it promises to be a special occasion... The Bianconeri will invest around €100 million in order to have a stadium which will compete with the best around Europe. The facility will be ultra-modern, secure and open seven days a week with a state of the art shopping complex; the new venue will be built on the site where the old Stadio Delle Alpi is still standing. Delle Alpi, which was built for the 1990 World Cup, will be demolished and Juve's new arena will be built. Work will begin in spring 2009 and everything will be ready two years later for the beginning of the 2011/12 season. Plans will be presented at 1800CET at the Gianni Agnelli Auditorium in Turin and the pitch will be just 8.5 metres away from the stands, which is a far cry from their old venue. Delle Alpi became infamous for its poor views of the action as the stands and pitch were seperated by a useless running track. 500 guests have been invited to the event and Italian FA chief Giancarlo Abete will be present as will Lega Calcio president Antonio Matarrese. Juve's squad will also attend to enjoy an exclusive preview of their new home. The stadium will hold 40,700 fans and there will be 120 executive boxes. A shopping area as well as parking for 5,300 vehicles. A Juventus museum is also planned like the one Real Madrid have at the Santiago Bernabeu. Naming rights have been snapped up by sports marketing company Sportfive and they will be responsible for coming up with a title. Juve will continue to play at the Olimpico grande while construction work takes place. Good for them. I certainly don't want Milan to move away from San Siro but it needs to be restructured. it looks like a Roman colosseum compared to other top leagues' stadiums.

That's a new one. The San Siro is usually compared to a cathedral or an opera house. Especially because it's view for spectators is really amazing (R7 gives me proof of this).
But I agree it needs, heavy restructuring. Problem is, it's not the property of the clubs. It belongs to the Municipality and that can be sticky. |

Galliani said something about restructuring San Siro a few weeks ago... he wants to first get rid of Inter and then do it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) By the way, check this out. |
