Roma Preview: Snowpacolypse Edition

By: Tim | Comments 165 Comments

Good evening. I’m sipping on a beer and staring out the window at the massive amounts of snow that fell on Washington DC today. It was pretty incredible, and it’ll be a couple more days at least before things get back to normal around here. Good thing is, we’ve got tomorrow’s match to look forward to – the game will be on TeeVee live from 2:45 pm EST. Prandelli has been busy plotting a repeat of last year’s destruction, I’m sure.

There is a whole hell of a lot happening in Viola world this evening.

Viola travel to Sicility to take on the Loathsome Pink Sicilians (with the douchiest Serie A fans)

By: Tim | Comments 208 Comments

Well, here’s hoping that title of this post doesn’t lead to an excessive flame war with guys who support Palermo. But, these are the clowns who one could probably find in an episode of the Jersey Shore trying to start a fight. In all seriousness, this game is obviously massive, as Palermo sit in 6th, one point ahead of Fiorentina (the good guys do have a game in hand). I’m already fired up and its only Friday evening here in DC. Read the rest of this entry »

Viola Updates: A Coppa Victory, Welcome to El Gringo and Mutu’s got his Swag back

By: Tim | Comments 29 Comments

Buona sera. Big win for the Viola tonight in beautiful Florence, as Fiorentina never squandered their advantage from two first half Mutu strikes despite dangerous Lazio strikers Zarate and Rocchi tallying a goal apiece. This sees the Viola through to the semi-finals of the Coppa, and they will take on the winner of Inter and Juve. Either way, it is nice to see the boys advance and get one step closer to what would be the first trophy to come to Florence since the 2001 Coppa Italia at the height of the impending financial crisis. Roberto Mancini coached in that game, and my main man Nuno Gomes scored the goal that brought home the cup against Parma. Read the rest of this entry »

Bologna come to the Franchi, sans Osvaldo

By: Tim | Comments 299 Comments

Good afternoon everyone. I’m just back from a nice hike in Rock Creek park here in Washington DC. It was a nice celebration of the fact that the temperature is above freezing for the first time in weeks. Now I’m watching the end of Bari blowing a 2-0 lead at home against Inter and reading up on tomorrow’s match. Read the rest of this entry »

Surprisingly good Bari come to the Franchi for a Big Match

By: Tim | Comments 228 Comments

I’ve only got time for a brief preview this week, but I’d like to start by saying it was great on Wednesday to see such a big win, and to see Ted’s recap. Although I’m not sure I can agree with Ted’s definition of my role here at the Viola offside, I’m happy to be the responsible one. That’s the role I usually play when I go out with a group of my buddies anyway – I’m able to assure everyone’s wife, girlfriend, fiance, etc. that no one will wind up in jail. And I’ve almost always pulled it off. Read the rest of this entry »
