The Fat Old Lady's still not singing...

As Juve incredibly confirm they are to make a THIRD appeal against their relegation to Serie B for match fixing allegations. I am absolutely amazed at the fact they still feel hard done by. Clearly, if you get caught fixing matches, you should pay the price. No matter who you are.

"We have the duty to safeguard the team, players and supporters' honour and also the club's heritage," Cobolli Gigli (Juve President) told Gazzetta dello Sport. Well, perhaps they should have thought about that before they got caught trying to buy the Scudetto. It just goes to show that the Old Lady still feels she is above the law. If they manage to avoid relegation, it will only prove that this is indeed the case.

I can't see Milan getting him. By the look of things, Real want to swap him for Kaka. Yeah, that's a fair swap...

And I think Juve will back down now that FIFA have got involved. I mean, they could easily get relegated another division or theoretically even get closed down.
