Three Cheers for Fiorentina!

By: Ted | Comments 208 Comments

Yes, I am aware we lost to Genoa today. And yes, I know we lost on Sunday as well. (I saw the match on Sunday, and missed the one today.) But, as George Plimpton once said ‘We are not discouraged.’ Or, at least, I am not. That much.

By: Tim | Comments 58 Comments

Sorry for the delayed recap, but Ted’s traveling and I’m trying to get ready for a big trip myself. At any rate, I’ll offer some quick thoughts about Sunday’s loss to Napoli and today’s away match against Geona.

Neapolitans in Town

By: Tim | Comments 202 Comments

So, the team eager to announce its arrival this season with a big hollywood-style unveiling organized by owner Aurelio De Laurentiis comes to the Franchi on Sunday. You know, the “sleeping giant” everyone wants to see towards the top of the Serie A standings. Maybe to break the dominance of the Roman and [...]

By: Tim | Comments 48 Comments

I exchanged emails with Ted earlier, and it turns out that neither of us were able to see much of the match yesterday, so this recap will have to be brief. I did see the highlights last night on FSC, so I’ve seen all of the goals. In a very entertaining and open [...]

Viola draw Newcastle: Recap

By: Ted | Comments 35 Comments

The Viola are Back! Newcastle Preview

By: Tim | Comments 90 Comments

Finally! This goes two ways I suppose, the good is finally the Viola are returning to action after the international break that would not end, and the bad is that finally the viola blog has been updated. I’d make excuses, but let’s just get to the calcio.

Mighty Viola Two Off Lead

By: Ted | Comments 100 Comments

Today in Beautiful Florence the mighty Viola drew with a defensive-minded Lazio squad, thus pulling only a point mere days after their exciting dismantling of Liverpool. The draw, of course, isn’t the worst thing in the world (Newcastle was spanked by Palermo this afternoon) so our boys remain two points from the top and in [...]

Lazio Preview

By: Tim | Comments 153 Comments

Hopefully the Viola will be able to keep the momentum rolling as Lazio come to the Franchi tomorrow. The baby blues are a difficult opponent, and their hammering of Leviski Sofia will probably boost their confidence after a middling beginning to the Serie A campaign.
