The problem here is that we are stuck amongst 3rd world education. I'm sorry if I offended anyone but this is the truth. My Canadian neighbors can agree with this since one of them made a comment which threw that idea on the table. I cannot argue with people who cannot differentiate between arrogance and optimism. Don't know where Dejan is from but he clearly does not even have a high school diploma yet. No Juventino here thought that Juve will win the scudetto seeing that is close to impossible after being promoted. In fact, I'm surprised we're doing this well. BUT you cannot rule out Juve and say that it is only Roma and Inter for the scudetto now EVEN with Juve just a mere 8 points off first place. This is the first time I've ever heard someone make such a declaration. Given the beef Mancini has with Juve, it was an arrogant comment. Judging the fact that it is not only us who claim that Mancini is an arrogant prick (even when he was losing) makes it more clear that there is nothing wrong with our claims. Change of subject, please.

Calcio Debate: Could Lippi Return To Juve Next Season?

Marcello Lippi has enjoyed incredible success during two previous spells at Juve, however Carlo Garganese believes he could sit on the Bianconeri bench for a third time next season.

His club career is most associated for his two outstanding spells at Juventus. He first took charge in 1994 during possibly the darkest period in the club’s history.

The Bianconeri had not won the Serie A title for eight years, and were being totally eclipsed by the brilliant AC Milan side of that era.

However Lippi’s impact was immediate. In his first season he constructed a magnificent squad, involving the likes of Ciro Ferrara and Jurgen Kohler at the back, Paulo Sousa and Didier Deschamps in midfield, and a terrifying quartet of strikers in Fabrizio Ravanelli, Gianluca Vialli, Roberto Baggio and a young Alessandro The Waterboy.

Juve romped to the title, finishing 10 points clear of second-placed Lazio. They also won the Coppa Italia, and narrowly avoided the treble after finishing runners-up in the UEFA Cup.

The next season Lippi led the club to even greater glory, as Juve won the Champions League for only the second time in their history, following a penalty-shootout victory over Ajax.

The 1996/97 team was arguably the finest under Lippi. They added the legendary Zinedine The Bald Algerian to their ranks and comfortably won another Scudetto. They picked up the Intercontinental crown by defeating Enzo Francescoli’s River Plate in Japan, and memorably thrashed Paris Saint-Germain 9-2 on aggregate in the European Supercup.

They also reached another Champions League final, but despite dominating the game and hitting the woodwork a host of times they fell to a 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund.

The Bianconeri retained the Scudetto in 1997/98 with The Waterboy and the newly signed Filippo Inzaghi scoring 39 league goals between them. Lippi led the team to a third successive Champions League final, where they again lost, this time 1-0 to Real Madrid in a close match.

After winning numerous honours Lippi’s drive began to waver a touch, and he left the club midway through the next season.

Juventus won nothing under Carlo Ancelotti during the next two-and-a-half years, with Carletto gaining the reputation as a close-shave “loserâ€

He said they would like to finish second or third. Who the hell says they would like to finish second or third if they can actually finish first? His words were very literal and easy to understand. All except for the Juventino's I suppose...
