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. Read the rest of this entry »

A Dialog Between a Father and Son
By: Ted | 99 Comments
SCENE: A 34-year-old man and his 15-month-old son sit together on a couch. The boy holds a stuffed duck named Mr. Quackers. They have both just witnessed their favorite football team, Fiorentina, dismantle another football team called Liverpool in a competition called the Champions League. Following the final whistle in the match, this is what they discussed… Read the rest of this entry »

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.), but the Viola have consistently been a step short when it comes to games against top competition. Liverpool have been excellent in the CL for several years running, but something tells me they are in for a tough match tomorrow night at the Franchi. Read the rest of this entry »

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. So what. Give me my little bit of fun. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s happening? Fortunately for our boys in purple, they don’t have far to go for tomorrow evening’s match at Livorno. It will be a short bus trip, but there are plenty of memories of poor results on the road against inferior Tuscan sides in recent season to make any Fiorentina supporter nervous.

Category: Team NewsViola Try to Right the Ship against Visitng First-Place Samp
By: Tim | 145 Comments
Well, I’ll start by saying that I gave up after watching the first 45 minutes on my DVR on Sunday. It was a beautiful day here in DC and I was spending time with my family so I couldn’t watch the match live. I was hoping to cap off a great weekend by witnessing a strong performance by the Viola, but the Olimpico remained a house of horrors and nothing went right. Fortunately, the boys didn’t have to wait too long for an opportunity to turn it around. However, Samp are flying right now and will bring an in-form Cassano and a highly-motivated Pazzini to the Franchi. It should be quite a match. Read the rest of this entry »
Category: Team NewsViola Thumped by Roma
By: Ted | 34 Comments
Christ, tough week for the sports fans in my house (and by that, I mean me and my 15-month old son; my wife could care less). I watch my beloved Viola lose on a shaky red card mid-week. I realize Kevin Garnett’s knee is still basically mashed potatoes. My old college basketball team is looking like its about to put up another year of mediocrity. Everything was supposed to be redeemed today, however, especially since my wife was taking the kid out for the day and I was going to get some uninterrupted time to veg and watch sports. So what happens? The Patriots lose, I lose in Fantasy Football for the week, I get bounced form my fantasy elimination league, and worst of all, in the MAIN EVENT of the day at the house, the one thing I had been looking forward to all week, the Viola loose to Roma. And loose ugly. Shit. Time to flip the calendar tomorrow, for all of us, and start another week. Read the rest of this entry »

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. Read the rest of this entry »
Category: Team NewsDeja Vu All Over Again – Viola begin CL Campaign at Lyon
By: Tim | 193 Comments
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 that the current Lyon squad is even better than last year’s edition. Read the rest of this entry »
