Juve Getting Jiggy
For once, a post of pure, shameless comic relief.
I've always been a fan of the double-entendre headline, ever since reading Fritz Spiegl's hilarious collection of misprints and unintentional gaffes from English papers, which included a report of an Everton player being taken off the field with a pulled musicle.
This, however, tops the lot. To get the gag, one needs to be aware that Juventus are commonly known as "La Vecchia Signora" (the Old Lady), and that BATE Borisov are the champions of Belarus. Something tells me that a clever goal.com editor slipped that one through under the radar.
