Rooney as a center mid doesn't scare me, I welcome it as well. He was pretty good in the last two games for us.

I was listening to a famous italian sports journalist earlier, Sconcerti. He's literally going senile, but nobody has the heart to tell him. Regardless, it hit me how his views on Juventus, as expressed throughout the season and non-so-successfully shrouded in his supposed "professionalism", are pretty much the decalogue of every antijuventino out there. It's rare for a Juve hater to go through all ten phases in a given season, but this year ...
Phase 1) Summer mercato: maximum enjoyment. Juventus are losing their star players left and right, and they're replacing them with shitty ones. Meanwhile, the other teams are buying top players. Roma get Dzeko and Salah, Inter manage to sign Kondogbia, Milan snatch Bacca, etc ...
Phase 2) Rooting for whoever manages to stay top of the table in the first 5-10 matchdays. Doesn't matter if it's a rival team, as long as it's not Juve. An absolute classic, this. Milan fans are ecstatic over Sarri's humble teachings, even some Laziali have to admit that Roma are doing great.
Phase 3) This season it actually happened: getting the best out of Juventus' defeats in Serie A; let the flinging of shit and the crucification of Juve's new players begin. Mandzukic is worse than Giroud (tm), Dybala a 40M€ flop, Rugani ain't fit to clean Koulibaly's shoes, etc ...
Phase 4) The propagation of every and all statistic data that can be used to prove that Juve are not going to win it this year. Doesn't matter how inconsequential or out there it might be, like 'Juve have never won a scudetto in a leap year with Frosinone and Carpi in Serie A'. Surely, then.
Phase 5) Juve are showing signs of coming back: let's belittle their efforts as much as possible, write it all down to "well, obviously no one expected the four-times italian champions to suck all year", all the while praising their top of the table adversaries.
Phase 6) Juventus have completed their comeback, they're now neck to neck for first place. But no worries, It's just a flash in the pan, the other teams are more "complete" and they're playing some of the best football in Europe. Maybe the best.
Phase 7) La capolista se ne vaaaa! Tragedy strikes once again: Juve take the lead. It's finally time to start obsessing over referees, talk about all those little pushes Juve get (which somehow went unnoticed when Juve were on the right side of the table), about how non-training Serie A is and how dem provincial teams just can't wait to spread their legs when they're facing Juve. I'm not saying, but I'm totally saying.
Phase 8) Juve's main title rivals implode and embarass themselves on and off the pitch. It is, of course, everyone's fault but their own: referees have it in for them (an eternal evergreen), the calendar is clearly in Juve's favour; Juve playing their games a day before them is an unfair advantage (when just a few years back, when Juve were playing in EL, it was an unfair advantage for Juve to play after them, on Mondays). The constant whining usually gives birth to some truly sensational conspiracy theories and excuses, like how football shouldn't be played at 6pm in primavera, because of terrible lighting conditions. Penumbraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha. Juve shouldn't be where they are, the stats are all wrong. Someone goes as far as to say that Juve's victories are "statistically unbearable". Yep, it's good old Mario Sconcerti. Mostly just old.
Phase 9) The transmigration of the soul: Juve have proven to be the best team yet again, but ... ehhh, only in Italy and thanks to the refs.
Phase 10) Juventus win the scudetto, but it doesn't matter. In a little while, the summer mercato will begin once more. All big players will surely leave, only to be replaced by walking trashcans, and next year, I can feel it, Juve won't win it.
Sometimes, in late April, if you listen very carefully, you can hear the echo of livers exploding all over Italy.

By Zabojnik Go To Post..Granted you had a terrible start to the season, but the quality of the league is such that it would have been nearly impossible for Juventus to not end up in the top 4 regardless. Too much quality in the squad and a great spirit, other teams always seem defeated before they step on the pitch against you. It is understandable, this is like your 4th or 5th title in a row? So consistent.
Amazing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36126599
"And there seems to have been another error in the PFA process after 12 players were named in the Championship team of the season.
A report claims a "breakdown in communication" at the organisation led to both Hull's Michael Dawson and Middlesbrough's Daniel Ayala being told they had made the team after receiving an equal number of votes."

Credit has to go to the entire club though. Mercato business proven thoroughly right, kept Pog, Allegri turning it around, all of them showing true fight.
By the way, can I just say how impressed I have been by the manchester united fans here. Their team has been in 'transition' for three years now and they still maintain a realistic outlook and do not fall into the trap of Arsenal fans, constantly expecting victory and glory even when the means and players are not there yet.

All Man Utd fans can do one
Except for the lorry driver who let me cross the road ahead of him a few minutes ago, with a Man Utd flag draped across the cab behind his head.
He's alright.

Does anyone know where CCS buggered off to? He lost a bet over whether United would win the title and I gotsa get paid.
I'm just amazed that Allegri is alright. Like, Yurt and Zabo had me thinking he was a walking talking spud for years. Perhaps it was typical to belittle Milan's manager - and maybe he was considered part of that club's overall decline - but from an outside perspective he's actually taken the club forwards since Conte.
Obviously Conte kickstarted everything, and what a sight that was to see. Yurt sending me gorgeous videos of Juve flying from 7th to 1st. A dream I really need to believe in at this moment.
Excited to see Conte at Chelsea next season. Belueve he'll have less difficulty transitioning than Pep will. Who'll see his 2-3-4-2 formation kicked to shit by Kante inside four minutes.

Offended a mob boss. Needed to disappear. Signed for City.
In early 2010, Birdman formed an oil and gas exploration company, Bronald Oil and Gas, LLC. The company was a joint venture founded by Birdman and his brother Slim, and the name was a combination of the brothers' first names, Bryan and Ronald. Evidence of the company's actual business operations was scant, limited mostly to a website and the appearance of a "pumpjack" tattoo on the side of Birdman's head. The website indicated that the company's strategy would be to first develop existing land holdings and seek out new oil and gas leases. In February 2010, Birdman told Ozone magazine that he had been in the oil business for "4 or 5 years" and was "making very good money off that".
Should get into MLS ownership, tbh
I think pep is a great manager, which is easy to forget sometimes.
I just don't think he can win City the EPL title in the first 2 years. He could totally get them to the CL final though.

ahahaha, man, that's quite possibly your greatest post since your undefeated scudetto 'Thank You' notes.
Buffon signaling Evra for praise was heart-warming, he said he deserves a lot of credit for the comeback (on a morale level) and he really does. His post-match interviews during that period are legendary :lol
and perhaps he deserved a tiny bit more shit for letting Bayern score 4 goals too

ARNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE---*loses his voice*
Allegri wasn't Milan's biggest problem (and tbf we did say that) but he genuinely was quite bad with them, even tactically! He played Boating as trequartista, Juve'd Pirlo out of his favourite position, kept on using an unfit Zambrotta (cursed be his name), killed Thiago Silva on a crucial period of their season by playing him half fit etc and all around made so many nonsensical tactical decisions. I dunno if it was down to his bang average squad back then (and falling for the temptation of overly relying on Zlatan), but as soon as he arrived here he showed tactical nounce and flexibility that Conte can only dream of (among a full set of hair). He's the catalyst of this comeback and our almost treble, where he dismantled superior-tactician on paper on the way to the final.
but how can you not revel in the pain of this mug
he had quite a few anti-Juve rants as well (after Muntari's ghost-goal) which rubbed us the wrong way.
By Cleff Go To PostJoao Mario and Renato Sanches are alleged targets for United.Buy both
Wonder who picked those out?
Sell Fellaini, release Carrick
Keep Rooney in mid.
Fellaini had a really good game last week but I don't think he can deal with Kante next game.
Boban "It's not easy to fall for Mandzukic but it's very difficult not to respect him. His presence is always felt, so is his contribution.8 of Mario's 10 league goals were openers
"what strikes you about Mandzukic is his involvement, he's everywhere. It's absurd, he can't be Croatian, we aren't like that! *laughs*"
Giroud™
Buffon on the comeback "I want to thank my teammates and especially Patrice -Uncle Pat- Evra who was critical for us in turning this season around
I don't know about Renato. The ruhmaz suggest he will be wrapped up shortly - so I did my research.
The lad has played 20 games for Benfica, looks chunky, a bit cumbersome, passes seem to be a bit "put it in the right area", and he's playing against complete scrubs.
Okay it's based off one 7 minute You Tube video but for £39m I want to be more excited.

whenever United is linked to a player I always start with googling their agent
it's not Jorge! But he shares an agent with Cameron Borthwick-Jackson
