Juventus off the bottom

Tuesday, October 17, 2006



Secawan Bola's fascination with Juve's sojourn through Serie B continues with this little nugget of news: Juventus are no more last place in Serie B.

Juve, Italy's giant club were relegated before the start of the season, and penalised with a 17 point deduction. Hence, the Bianconeri began the season with negative 17 points and firmly anchored to the bottom of Italy's second tier.

But five wins and a draw later, and the Turin giants are officially second-last. This comes as especially ironic news, considering that they are second-last with a total points haul of... negative one.

Who is it then, who is last, with fewer points than negative one? Arezzo. With negative two points. How did that happen? Don't ask us. Italy is a very strange country.
