No News is Good News (But Awfully Boring)

By: Ted | August 22nd, 2008

Every blogger in the game has, at one point or another, written the “sorry I haven’t posted lately” post. Maybe the writer gets sick, or he goes on vacation, or he has to move, or work’s been a bear; whatever. I myself pulled that stunt a few weeks ago when my boy was born.

Well, it’s Friday, and I haven’t posted since Tuesday, but this time it’s got nothing to do with me. Things are so just so damn SLOW right now. We had a friendly earlier in the week and Mutu’s elbow injury, but since then the only news out of Florence is the whole will he/ won’t he stuff about Mutu playing in the season opener and some jive transfer rumors (including the resurrected Burdisso to Fiorentina deal) that I’m just not that interested in until they get closer to actual fact.

So the thing is, I am ready to write, but there’s not that much to write about. Which is frustrating, because it feels like I SHOULD have stuff to write about: the English have started, there are internationals and the Olympic Football tournament all over the place, and even the MLS (I am a season ticket holder) is in full swing. It seems like everybody’s playing football except Series A.

I know its coming, however. We have the Super Cup this weekend, then the second leg of the Viola’s CL tie and then the following Sunday finally, FINALLY, the Juve match. I can’t wait.

In the meantime, please know I haven’t forgotten about you or the blog; like you, I am just waiting for something to get excited about.

    There’s a friendly going on right now at AZ Alkmaar, oddly enough. A friendly no one even knew hadn’t been cancelled until about a week ago, from what I can tell. No streams, no nothing. Arg.

    What team are you a season-ticket holder for?

    The Mighty New England Revolution. My second-favorite team. However, I admit: if I won the lottery, I would be buying a place off of Santa Croce in a heartbeat, and I would be getting a season pass to a different team…

    Arr, I hate the Revs. I support the Rochester Rhinos back home, USL-1 team.

    Some semi-Fiorentina news: Arturo Lupoli (on-loan at Norwich City from La Viola) netted two very well taken goals against my team yesterday. A raw talent, but nowhere near the finished article – he’s been at that stage for far too many years now though perhaps.

    lol.
    The Rosanero crashed out 2-1 at home to Lega Pro Prima A (Third Division) side Ravenna, who completely stunned the Renzo Barbera.

    Fabio Liverani, who arrived in Sicily on a free transfer in the summer after his contract at Fiorentina expired, is remaining positive despite their elimination.

    “We did show some good movements, and it was a pity to lose because we had a good start,” said the veteran.

    “However, we lose and win together so we can’t point the finger against someone in particular because it was the whole team’s fault.

    “We are going to analyse the game with coach Stefano Colantuono and then we will try to learn from our errors.
