Extremely cheap tickets, strictly male crowds, everyone stands, atmosphere is on par with Turkey, local working class followings, fairly decent level football etc. Everything this league wishes it could be.

Can't stand Hapoel on the other hand, same applies to anything to do with Tel Aviv
Maccabi ahi Nazareth, relegated in his first season in charge
Atmosphere's fantastic bar the xenephobic chants/flags that get banded about on occasion. Also fairly dodgy on the stabbing front.

They won four league titles on the trot and had gone four seasons undefeated at home before the Superga Disaster.

Known as 'Il Grande Torino', this team that dominated the 1940s, are still regarded as the best Italian club side of all time. They played a 4-2-4 formation ten years before Pele and Brazil made it famous at the '58 World Cup. They also were the original inspiration for Rinus Michel's 'Total Football' philosophy.

On 11th May 1947 Italy played a friendly against Hungary, which the Italians won 3-2. The Italian starting XI consisted of a Juventus goalkeeper and ten outfield Torino players.

Leaves a lump in your throat when you read about the tragedy.

One runs a bar on the River in turin, Giancarlos, check it out if you're over there. They run Inner city Turin, Juve have no support on show there.
Another thing to check out is their old ground, you can still get inside, it's seriously a weird experience being in there.

Dont they like us ? pretty sure i remember something about them and us for some reason ? might be wrong

The holy one? That's quite a strange thing to call me. I like it though.

As for what I do with myself - tragically it's all work and Fred.

I respect all the great old clubs in Europe - United, Madrid, Bayern, Barca, Milan, Juve etc. Not Liverpool.

The other teams I actually like are AC Milan and St. Pauli. St. Pauli (and I guess German football in general) is just a fantastic day out: exactly what football should be like in this country. You don't have to be some kind of bouncing barmy gimp like in Turkey or Greece, but you can have a fag, a drink and, horror of horrors, stand with your mates.
