Another win...another goal for Toni...

Good to see we have the character to recover from a goal down.

I'm pretty sure that we would have gone down and stayed down last season, so yeah, we certainly have a lot more character!

You and Curva should be thanking me for not backing us in the betting league

Thinking about heading over for a game soon, probably Treviso in early December. Next two home games are Milan & Juventus, so tickets might be a bit scarce...

I hope we can expect to be live on Bravo for the games against Juve and Milan, then.

Another assist for Toni, as well, showing he makes as well as scores goals. What's up with Bojinov? He was replaced at half-time by Pazzini.

I'd also like to retract my comment about "Why the hell did Siena leave Chiesa on the bench on Wednesday" - the rest did him good, as he scored the winner for Siena today.
And nice to see another ex-viola doing well - Rigano scored for Empoli today.

For my money, our Week 12 game at home to Milan, Week 13 game away to Roma and Week 14 game at home to Juventus all seem the pick of the bunch on their respective weekends.

Surely at least one of the above will be on Bravo?

Perhaps, though they might be relucatant to show us three weeks in a row.
It's always impossible to predict which games TV companies will go for...

I think it's Roma v Juve on Week 12, which Bravo may well go for.

As long as none of our games end up on Shítanta...

No it isn't, you know that Sky Sports will show Real Madrid and Barcelona every week.

Read something a couple of days back saying that DDV will front the cash for some January signings if we're still in the European places when the window opens.

Cristiano Zanetti's starting to be linked to us fairly often, which would be kick-ass, but who else should we get in?

I think we need a decent striker

A defensive midfielder is needed. Maybe a full-back as well?

1-0 after 1 minute! Great start - good to see Ujfalusi getting a goal.

Another win! We're fairly secure in a Champions League spot right now - shame we've got Juve and Milan coming up in a short space of time. <Andy Gray voice> "They're doing well in the league, but Cesare Prandelli will be thinking, we've got ourselves 25 points on the board, that's 15 more for survivial, that's the first target" </Andy Gray voice>

The match was played at Rimini...I remember us getting a 0-2 victory there before...

Second clean sheet of the season too.

I posted something like this on a different thread earlier, but I read today that Prandelli's only got a contract up until the end of this season!

Apparently he'll be getting a longer deal very soon, and I can understand why the club maybe kept it short due to what happened at Roma, but we gotta tie his @ss down sharpish.

Wee bit of gossip: my mate at the Evening Standard reckons that FC Bayern's Claudio Pizzaro will sign a pre-contract with us in January. Pizzaro's currently 'proper fooked' (I believe that's the correct medical term) with cruciate ligament damage, but he'd be one hell of a signing...

Ooh, something else I meant to ask.

Have either of you two (Michael/Craig... well, anyone really) bought this season's shirt? I can't find it anywhere.

Football Italia Store sent me an e-mail over a month ago saying they would have it within a couple of weeks, but now their site says they'll have it in December.

I don't know what size to get either. I'm probably round about the same height as Luca Toni, and his looks really small on him...

They look horrible and tight. I don't want that...and having bought this season's Arsenal shirt (with Fabregas on the back) two shirts in one season might be a little too dear...

Have you tried/emailed subside.co.uk? They're always very good.

Appreciate the suggestion mate, but Mezz no like Subside.

First thing I ever bought off them (him) was the Diadora shirt. I said "Hey, dude, this shirt's valid for another season, yeah?" and they (he) said "Yeah, another season at least, Diadora have confirmed it to us".

3 weeks later the Mizuno one came out.

I then tried to buy some other stuff off them (him), and it never turned up. I had to make a threat to get my money back.

Currently, their most up to date Fiorentina shirt is last seasons, and that sold out in January.

Not cool.

Viola Linked To Pires

Aarrgghh!

Really? Subside have always given me a very good service.

When the time comes for Pires to leave Arsenal, I'd like him to go nowhere else apart from Florence. He's brilliant.

i asked football italiastore about the viola shirts also and they said it will be december according to details they got from lotto because lotto only signed up fiorentina near the beginning of the season and so their shirts,training gear etc were behind in production compared to other lotto teams like palermo,chievo etc. have got a couple of shirts from subside but like mezz wasnt really to impressed with their service either as took ages to arrive after being told they had been sent a couple of weeks before and when they eventually did one was the wrong size. ive always found football italia store helpful and always a quick delivery so hope they get the shirts in december as cant wait to get one as think they look pretty classy.

1-0! LUCA TONI!!
