Our Man in Toulon
By: Ted |It’s been a fun week to be a Viola fan with all the new signings, rumors, etc. But another thing I wanted to do this summer was follow current and former Fiorentina players as they played on the European stage, such as Mutu with Romania and Ujfalusi with the Czechs. In that spirit, [...]
Viola Get Gila
By: Ted |Just a quick post right now to let you all know that ESPN Soccernet is now reporting that Alberto Gilardino has officially signed a five-year deal with Fiorentina, and that the signing will be formally announced in Florence tomorrow morning. No other details were forthcoming.
Fiorentina: News
By: Ted |While I wait around for my baby to be born, and big things are happening elsewhere on the peninsula (I’m giddy at the thought of the Special One in Milan, for comedy’s sake alone) I thought I would quickly bring you the latest news and nonsense from the world of the Viola.

Fiorentina v. Torino: The Final Preview
By: Ted |Tomorrow in Turin, Fiorentina’s season will be decided. It’s the final match of the campaign, and Fiorentina is in fourth place, two points up on nearest rivals AC Milan. A win would guarantee Fiorentina fourth place and a spot in the Champions League; so would a draw or loss by Milan, who face [...]
Napoli! – Mon Frere! You Who were With Me in the Ships at Milan!*
By: Ted |I had hoped, as all sports fans do, for the best. But I also feared the worst. Last week Milan looked phenomenal, while the Viola looked tired and rusty. Fiorentina absolutely needed to win this week to have any shot of staying in the Champions League race; anything short of maximum points [...]
