Here is todays main news from around the Peninsula:
- First let’s start off with news that can severely hurt two teams. The Disciplinary Committee handed out it’s weekly suspensions and it doesn’t look good for Livorno. Livorno, who will most probably be relegated on Sunday, had a few players suspended who did some bad things […]

After hearing news that Zenit St. Petersburg had demolished Bayern Munich 4-0, La Viola had to like their chances if they reached the final. However, they could not surpass the final hurdle. Fiorentina quite simply dominated the game (15 shots on goal), but they could not finish for anything. Rangers sat back for 120 minutes […]

First of all, I’d be remiss if I didn’t applaud Martha for the contributions she’s made to the offside since her arrival. I personally found the page through her - first post was one involving Marco Borriello and STDs, which details the quality of my google searches - and ended up staying. Behind the scenes […]

•A man who knows a good PR opportunity when he sees it, Dunga has called Pato into the Brazil team for a February 6 friendly against the Republic of Ireland. (Dunga also coaches Brazil’s national team, which goes a long way toward explaining Pato’s presence in the side, as well as that of nine other […]

Not a pretty match, by any stretch of the imagination. To the surprise of even themselves, Toro came out flying, and put pressure on Fiorentina’s penalty area before the home side could even get hold of the ball. David Di Michele looked lively at the start, but Toro’s advantage faded quickly as the Viola settled […]

[I’ll say right up front that my thoughts on this are really unfocused, but I wanted to bring it up because I’m curious as to what you guys think about a possible solution, particularly those of you who are in Italy, or have followed the Italian game for a decade or two.]
It’s a sad truth […]
Parma v Fiorentina: Mutu Double
By: Martha | 3 Comments
I’m irredeemably biased when it comes to Bobo Vieri, but based on the first half today, I think anyone could see why Cesare Prandelli prefers him to Giampaolo Pazzini right now: He plays simple and smart and, mostly importantly links up really well with Adrian Mutu, who is indesputably the focus of the Fiorentina attack. […]
Dubious WAG of the Week: Martina Stella
By: Martha | 7 Comments
Ms. Martina Stella was in the Italian gossip press this week, supposedly captured in a vaguely intimate moment with none other than the very married Adrian Mutu. (Quel scandal!) As a fervent Mutu supporter, I obviously have a contractual obligation to believe him when he says that they are old friends, and that “You can […]
A News Roundup of a (No Longer) Reasonable Size

•The rumor mill tells us that Milan are planning a meeting with Emre’s agent today. The Turk — an ex-Inter player, you may recall — is a reasonable man and therefore wants out of Newcastle, and Carlo Ancelotti is supposedly a big fan, Inter past notwithstanding. Milan also want Boca Juniors defender Jonathan Maidana to […]

If you believe the Italian papers this morning, Fiorentina are about the receive big money offers for their two touchstone players. (Hopefully they’ll be able to resist those offers, despite the delicious smell of cash and buying power.)
First, according to our beloved La Gazzetta — finally back after taking the holidays off like the rest […]
