Our Man in Toulon

By: Ted | Comments 6 Comments

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 | Comments 7 Comments

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 | Comments 2 Comments

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.

By: Ted | Comments 4 Comments

Since the transfer stuff keeps coming fast and furious, I thought I would keep passing along the “news” for the next few days before we get to some more serious stuff.

News and Rumors

By: Ted | Comments 5 Comments

Ah, I love the silly season. A time for real news and real made-up nonsense. And this early in the season, it is sometimes hard to tell one from the other. If I fall off the deep end in a few weeks and start linking to stories that have the Viola signing [...]

Fiorentina: News and Notes

By: Ted | Comments 3 Comments

Just a few quick things today. First, the 24-man roster for the Italy Euro squad was announced today, and Riccardo Montolivo was named as the sole Viola player on the team. I’m happy for Monto, who I still insist is the single best player in the world with an 11-year-old girl’s haircut.* [...]

Fiorentina 1 – Torino 0: Match Recap

By: Ted | Comments 1 Comment

Lost in all of our excitement about Fiorentina qualifying for the Champions League (especially for me) is the fact that Fiorentina played and won a league game on the road today without their best outfield player. It seems a little silly to say that the game itself has been lost (it’s all I’ve been [...]

Fiorentina v. Torino: The Final Preview

By: Ted | Comments 5 Comments

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 | Comments 22 Comments

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 [...]
