Anyone else worried that Jackie Treehorn's thugs are about to burst in screaming, "Where's the money, Lebowski?"

A nice, quick read since there's NOTHING ELSE GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

Fiorentina announcing this signing literally as the World Cup final starts is very funny.

Tough news for those of us who remain Slender Man truthers.

The Christ Inao Oulaï saga is winding to a close. Reports now say that the kidnapping was just a visit with another lawyer to look over the contract and maybe some guys trying to funnel him to another club. No Berbatov situation here, which is almost a shame, considering how hilarious that all was.

One last, deeply sad honk as he flies away into the night sky.

Consider this a clearinghouse for your "Christ on a bike"-type jokes because they're going to age like cottage cheese in the sun if we have to hear them all season.

Big left-footed 19-year-old CB with good ball carrying numbers, think Madrid's going to make a lot of additional money when he gets flipped to the Prem in 2 years

ew ew ew.. 😖 (well written article tho)

In another, kinder universe, Jake became a very good midfielder. It's a shame we have to live in this one instead.

My "Fiorentina signs Alex Jimenez and it fucking sucks" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

It's way too early to panic about Fiorentina's squad, so let's start panicking about Fiorentina's squad.

That came out of nowhere. www.violanation.com/serie-a-tran...

Silly season calls for silly pictures.

One of Fiorentina's brightest prospects gets a big chance in Serie B.

None of us like it but it's a known fact that the Goose flies north in the summer.

In which Carty Free boss @george-miller.org says MOSTLY nice things about Radu Dragusin.

Big thanks to @cartilagefree.bsky.social for lending us @george-miller.org for a bit of insight on Fiorentina's first Topknot Guy since Ricky Sottil tried it a couple years ago.

Fiorentina this close to dealing with a little striker problem. www.violanation.com/serie-a-tran...

Big news for the kit-minded among us.

Well, @cartilagefree.bsky.social, shall we dance?

A striker who did everything but score is the first one out the door this summer but he won't be the last. Going to miss this square-headed boy and wish him nothing but the best.

Not a terrible way to start off the transfer window.

Fiorentina fully deserves to pay the Idiot Tax after the past several years but that comes with a stark reminder of how these brackets work.

The latest issue of TIRO can now be purchased at Todo Modo bookshops in Firenze! Or at their Stadio Artemio Franchi news stand — Periodico 11.11 ⚜️⚽ #fiorentina #firenze #football #calcio

Still dealing with the aftereffects of Fiorentina Exhaustion Syndrome? Too bad.

No relation to Bobo.

Promise the answer isn't just, "Be less ass."

An extraordinarily Pongračić/Fiorentina sequence: slow stepping up to keep the winger on, then gets his clearance blocked inside the 6-yard box and nearly gives up the goal.

Last time Fiorentina had an Italy international on the wing, it was Federico Chiesa in 2022.

This is what several years' worth of bad decisions leads to and now everyone is going to lose.

Spain vs Cabo Verde or a very dumb article that's only tangentially related to Fiorentina? Your choice, dear reader.

Because M'Bala Nzola, Andrea Colpani, and Pablo Marí were such successes.

Some genuine talent, sure, but how's that for a photograph?

Roget's Thesaurus (Fiorentina edition)

The sight is dismal.

A series of body blows to the soul.

Welcome, Big Fab, and best of luck sorting out this mess.

Oh. Oh dear.

One of the more tragic heroes in recent Viola memory. So long, Mister, and thank you for giving us a future.

Never felt prouder. Or older.

Oh hey, looking for more sadness?

7 June 2011 saw Italy lose 0-2 to Ireland in a friendly (played in Liége for some reason). Utterly forgettable except that Alessandro Gamberini and Riccardo Montolivo started, joined by Alberto Gilardino at the hour mark when he replaced Giampaolo Pazzini up front.

Answer coming this evening, by the way.

Niccolò Fortini subbed on for Italy, joining Pietro Comuzzo and Cher Ndour. All 3 making their senior international debuts. Pop quiz: When was the last time Fiorentina had 3 representatives on the pitch for the Azzurri?

Oh. Oh dear.

We all thought that other teams would be writing this about Fiorentina a couple months ago.

We regret to inform you that our review of the 2025-2026 Fiorentina season has begun.

Good luck. www.violanation.com/fiorentina-h...
