Big CL Showdown: Scousers Come to Firenze
By: Tim | 192 Comments
This match is a real opportunity for Fiorentina. So far, there really aren’t any signature results fans can point to from this competition. We know that the squad has the ability to produce wins against top teams in Italy from time to time (Roma last year, at Newcastle the year before that, etc.), [...]

Give me a break. I’ve been writing this blog for almost three years now, and we’ve never been this close to first after this many games. So I decided to have a little fun with the title of the post. Yes, I am writing it on Saturday night and the Sunday games haven’t played yet. [...]

After the frustrating loss to Lyon, what better way to rid ourselves of anger, than beating Roma. I know, i know, you’ll say ‘I Cazzi’ are not what they used to be and you’re right, but, 3 points against them are as good as 3 points against Inter for me.

Ok, time to play these guys again. While the Viola have not made many major changes to their squad ahead of this year’s campaign, Lyon decided to clean house after they finally did not win the French Championship last season after a streak of 7 in a row. Cesare has warned the Viola [...]

Today in Beautiful Florence, The mighty Viola of Firenze defeated the visitors from Cagliari 1-0 in a mind-blowingly boring game that was even numbing for those of us on the winning side. I have written in the blog a thousand times: these are the games we have to win, and that’s exactly what we did. [...]
