Well, my t.v survived, and thanks to a couple of good moments Juve got a very undeserved point. As I've said many times before "win ugly, the game's already beautiful". This was not a win, but it was very ugly! When a team is pressed so hard they need to find the exit (there is always a way out from these situations) but we never found it in this game. We tried over and over again to play through the press and every time it did not work. (I don't like to talk against referees, but Bologna's game plan was evident from the start, the fouls they gave away when Juve tried to break should have been spotted by the ref as deliberate to brake up play and worthy of yellow cards.) We must be better, especially on Wednesday night. As bad as (Sh)ity are at the moment, they will be a big step up from Bologna. Come on Juve, we need to be better, we can be better, we are better than this performance!

WOW! Well thought and well written, thank-you. In reading this I could not help but think of something (and it points to your second scenario at the conclusion). That is like a broken house that is being fixed up for sale, Juve is being put on a level of stability that would be acceptable for another investor. In part I started following Juve (from New Zealand in the late 1980's!) because they are owned by ('car guys') the Agnelli's, but now after more than 35 years of following them, if Juve were owned by someone else I could only see it as a benefit to the club at this moment. Let the queue of the wealthy from the middle east form along Via Druento!

I'm so glad I got mine (authentic one without sponsor or personalisation). It really is a very beautiful shirt, just as good for wearing out to dinner as it is for the stadium. I only hope soon in future years we get a white and black first shirt of equal beauty, it's been too many years since we had a really good first shirt.

I neither agree or disagree. It is usual to have proved or earned this shirt, which I have not seen so much from the lad, but then if no other player wants it, why not let him have it? It is a heavier shirt than the others, he will either be dragged down by it or it will be his super armour to help him to become a great player for our club.

3rd shirt purchased just now. My first ever Juve shirt without customisation. I can't wait for it to arrive. I will be upset if I see a sponsor on this shirt when I receive it. I know it will cost me with my community football team every time I wear it (like we fine our Chelsea team mate for his un-sponsored shirt from last year), but I'm happy to pay for my teams that I love so much.

No, my team has a fine session each week after our games. Just a whole lot of fun where we give each other a hard time and the money of the fines goes to our end of season celebrations.

I really hope the third shirt is released before the sponsor, I would buy it un-personalized and as plain as possible. Although I know it will cost me from my own community team (I have a Chelsea fan with their unsponsored shirt from the start of last season and he has to pay fines every time he wears it). Also have to agree with this, I also have #5, but my nick-name is Skippy and there are many people who only know me as this, but obviously it is not my real name.

I love the Christmas Tree (4-3-2-1). The last boss used it a number of years ago (his first charge) for a few games with good affect. I also had it for my junior team back then too. The star on the top of my tree is now an angel in heaven taken far too soon. I love the Christmas Tree! (Yeah, I'm kind of crying now thinking of Josh.)

Now we just need to have the NZ All Whites football team to play the Azzurri (FIGC) at the stadium to make it completely All White & All Black as it always should be. Just to remind you one of the reasons I have followed Juve since 1988 is that they play in my nations two top international teams' colours.

This is the way society should be. Champions recognizing that we are all the same and that there are joys to be found in games without money. I remember as a kid having sporting heroes come to my school to teach us and they were not paid any more than our teachers, but they always had a great connection with us kids. I understand the modern social media, rapid communication connected era we are in, but I would love to see the superstars wanting and being able to do this type of work again. Edgar Davids is a true legend though!

So the package arrived this afternoon, and now I need to update my profile!

I received an e-mail this morning to say "the package is on it's way" and the UPS website confirms this (package sent from 19th Dec). So all is good with the world again! Now I just have to wait 3 weeks for it to be delivered. I'm still not sure if it was being processed when I first e-mailed, or if the many e-mails sent after finally made it happen, but at least it's on it's way. I guess that since I've made such a fuss here I'll have to update my profile with the new shirt when it arrives!

The [email protected] e-mail is the one I have used most and first of all. And again I expected delays due to the time of the year, but no notification for nearly a month and no replies to e-mails for nearly two weeks is not good enough. As someone who's been a fan of this great club for over 35 years (even though for the early years it was difficult to find news or results in New Zealand), it's frustrating that there's not been any acknowledgement. And most annoying was to read this article on the club website today (https://www.juventus.com/it/news/articoli/juventus-natale-iniziative). I do repeat that I have bought many items from the club store and have never had an issue with this, I really just would like to know what is happening with my order.

Thank-you for replies. I'm in New Zealand, and never had a problem ordering from the club store for the the last 10 years. I've not called them, mostly due to the time zone and also I would have thought it would be easier with using the e-mail channels.

I'm not sure if I'm right to ask this here (and apologies if I am wrong), but I am having difficulty with finding out what is happening with my purchase from the Club store. I purchased a number of items (this year's second shirt, shorts, socks (I am a Juve tragic!), ball and casual tee-shirt) during Black Friday sales, and although I received an e-mail confirming my purchase (and the money against my credit card), I have not had any confirmation of postal or tracking advice. I have e-mailed the Juventus Store and the Juventus Members Support e-mail addresses for over a week (and again apologies for some of my e-mails), but I have not heard anything back from them. Please note that as I have purchased a lot from the club store I was not too worried as I figured that this time of the year can be very busy, but to not have any information for over 2 weeks I needed to find out what was happening. I guess I would just like to know if anyone else is experiencing this (the club store have always been very good in my previous purchases), or if there are any people involved directly with the club (or the club store) that can tell me what is happening with my purchase. And again sorry to the moderators if this is not correct.
