2007-2008 Season Preview or: Attack of the Toddlers
By: Gianni |Tomorrow afternoon (for them), at exactly 15:00 P.M. Italian Time, Firenze…no, Italy… nay, the World, will witness the Viola’s return on to the pitch. That’s right, we’re done hypothesizing; let’s start criticizing. Just kidding…I hope.
The road ahead shows Fiorentina confronting three out of the four teams which are said to be in the running [...]
Calciomercato Overview
By: Gianni |Hey guys, it’s been a really long time since my last post, and that is something I’m sorry about. I’ve been real busy and not been home much at all, but hopefully this post discontinuity will not happen again anytime soon.
So, the new Serie A season is finally upon us! After a summer of joy, [...]
Miscellaneous Mondays
By: Gianni |After a week of sporadic posts and scarce news, I am happy to report that I am back. For good. Come on don’t cry, it’s not that bad.
The Mercato Update
Right, let’s get back on track. I believe we left off in Corvino’s usual utopic search for a star winger.
Winger Watch aka: Salary Caps Are a [...]
A Week in Review
By: Gianni |Hello all, I know it’s been a while since I last posted but, as I mentioned in my last post’s comment thread, I am not currently in my WWW-friendly home, and a connection that is just a bit faster than a handicapped sloth is hard to come by.
Luckily for me, as a blogger, but not [...]
Somebody Stop the Lies!
By: Gianni |Calciomercato journalists are evil, ruthless, conscience-less beings, and that’s a fact. I’ve learned to deal with it over the years, trying to block out images of superstars that have absolutely no chance of coming to my team, images that these despicable creatures force onto my brain, giving me a glimmer of hope, only to be [...]
Massively Misleading Mondays
By: Gianni |After a week which saw Fiorentina poach off a handful of promising youngsters, and being linked to half the teenage population of Brasil, Argentina, and parts of Eastern Europe, ‘The Pants’ finally seems to want to concentrate on players that have gone at least three straight months without having wet dreams. Provided they haven’t been [...]
Slow, Slow Saturdays (and some somersaults)
By: Gianni |And you wonder why I want Obinna… we need a guy with such acrobatic capabilities on our team don’t you think? I mean, it’s come down to getting Victor or teaching Pazzini to do somersaults.
Think about that for a second or two…
Obinna? I thought so.
I still think Victor Nsofor will wear a Viola shirt [...]
Plight of The Prands
By: Gianni | The Plight of said coach could refer to many aspects of his current personal, professional, or (insert adjective that starts with a ‘p’ here) life, but frankly I couldn’t think of any. To tell you the truth I didn’t try too hard, either; I just wanted an excuse to use that title.
Ok it’s out [...]
Not another Teen Winger
By: Gianni |Sometimes we praise the leaders of our team. Other times, we question them. Other times still, we gather up a coalition of outraged fans and go to Firenze to carry out a coup d’eteam. The time is not yet ripe for such extreme methods, but I must admit that as of right now I [...]
Welcome to Your Fiorentina Portal
By: Gianni |Ok, the title might be a little presumptuous, but you get the idea. My name is Gianni and I am here to lead legions of Tifosi en route to the discussion, appreciation, worshipping, etc. of everyone’s (yes, everyone’s) favorite team, ACF Fiorentina.
By this point, much has already happened in a Fiorentina mercato which saw Viola [...]
