I was beaten by Azrael in the Draft and so it logically follows that he knows more about football than I do, especially since he did not resort to cheating (of which I am guilty, as has been demonstrated)

hah
don't confuse the lack of tickets sold in recent seasons to a lack of passion or interest from the populace ... Juve are the first top-flight Italian team to get a new stadium for a long time ... and they'll be the first Italian team to own their own stadium (!!) ...
if they're competing for European trophies again, the crowds will throng ...

I think we've talked about this before: the Delle Alpi sucked; the crowd were too separated from the pitch and they hated it ... one can understand the problem when one sees that they were able to build the entire new stadium inside the old Delle Alpi ...

Yeah we've definitely talked about this before.
Agree with Arnau, it looks fantastic. Amazing that they're the first Italian club to own their statium? How is that possibly true?

all others are owned by their municipalities (or in the Olimpico's case, by CONI, the Olympic Committee) ...
Most teams are planning on building their own stadiums as well, we were just the first in Italy to own our new arena. No one wants to play in decrepit stadiums anymore. No more stadium sharing, either, if those plans are ever realized. Merda and Culan each have plans for their own stadiums, as do Lazio and Roma.
New season, and with it comes new hope. Sadly, I don't see us doing any better this year.. although I hope I'm wrong on this one. We need to make a big transfer this summer (fingers crossed for Kun Aguero) and get rid of all the deadwood.
Edit: btw, here's some pics of the almost finished new stadium:
Looks awesome !!

I can't believe Juve decided to sign Pepe and Marco Motta permanently. They were TERRIBLE last year, and added absolutely nothing to Juventus; no skill, no nothing. They signed Matri and Quagliarella aswell, and I like them, but it makes you wonder about the World Class signing they promised to make. These 4 (mediocre) players alone just cost Juve around 37 million euros... What do you guys think?
