Juventus -v- Arsenal

I can't recall who the commentator sat alongside Ron Greenwood for this match was, but he suggested that 'most of this Juventus team ply their trade week after week in reserve team foortball' , well I've got news for him - There is no reserve team football in Italy.

For sure, he did acknowledge that four of the subs had been called up from the Youth Team, or Primavera squad, but he must have just seen the team sheet and assumed that the others played reserve team football. In other words he made it up ! What a surprise.

I suppose it's no worse than bookmakers William Hill, who in their wisdom were quoting prices for both Athirson and Fabian O'Neill as first goalscorer , seemingly oblivious to the fact that both players packed their bags several months ago.
