A couple reports from reliable sources are saying that Milan are going to sign Lucas Biglia, which...fills a need?

Cool teams Parma, Lecce and Livorno (and some other teams I don't care about) are in the running to go up to B in the Lega Pro promotion playoffs quarterfinals. I want one of those 3 to go up, but not sure which one.

Parma going up would be sweet. The only reason they didn't go up directly was because of the whole Venezia being really good and well funded for once thing.

Juve's stadium naming rights holder finally found a sponsor. As of July 1st Juventus Stadium will become one of the many Allianz Stadiums in existence. Juve sold the naming rights to a broker when the stadium was built 6 years ago, but they didn't find a taker until now.

Backup obv. I'm surprised he's not going somewhere where he'll start. Maybe Neto wants to leave for that reason. You could do a lot worse!

I've seen this mentioned in our papers as well, but I can't quite believe it. It seems insane to go to a club to be a nailed on bench warmer. A very odd choice to say the least. Then again, it's obvious Arsene doesn't want him back, and there are very few clubs willing to shell out Arsenal's asking price or his wages. It's better to be a backup to Buffon than playing reserves in a third rate English club.

Out of the three who do you rate? Sczc, Fabianski or Skorupski?

It's actually very difficult to rate them. Fabiański has consistency on his side. He's predictable and capable. You expect him to save everything that a good keeper would save. Szczęsny isn't particularly consistent, but he's a miracle worker. He's very much like young Boruc was. On a good day his goal is impenetrable. He'll save seemingly unstoppable shots and single-handedly win the game. But then he'll commit a monumental blunder and ruin everything in the very next game. Skorupski is somewhere in between these two. I still rate Fabianski first, with Sczęsny and Skorupski a close second. Szczęsny still needs to work on his consistency. He's slowly getting there though. Perhaps a stint as Buffon's back up would do him well. Skorupski needs a transfer to a better side to really test his mettle.

With the contract numbers being rumored for Szczesny, he'd have to be viewed as Buffon's backup for one season and then taking over as the starter when Buffon retires next summer.

I will admit that Szczesny has proved to be a much better keeper than I ever thought he was capable of, like mackintosh said, when he's at his best he's truly excellent. I still want to see him get punched in the face every time his mug is on the tv screen though, so I'm not sure that I'd be happy with him at Juve.

I'm going to watch the match in a canadian pub of all places, where the ratio should be 1:1 Juventus and Real Madrid fans. With me, a Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Chelsea fans; considering bringing my Pepito Rossi purple jersey for maximum trollage.

If I don't post tomorrow I've been stabbed probably.

I'm going to watch at a nearby bar with about 150 Juve lads and it's gonna own. The scary looking Italians who show up sometimes are definitely gonna be there and I'm sure that they were real drughi back in Italy, they are responsible for teaching all the songs to the fake drughi group we have here.
