Working on a season-ending article about the smallest irritations of this massively irritating season and ol' Dave's got a couple of things to look forward to.
Aaaaaaannnnnnndddddd exhale.
Definitely lucky to come away with a point but also a bit anxious about the outcome and what it portends.
Not sure it will, honestly. Lecce's got our favorite idiots under the cosh and I doubt they can keep a clean sheet for another 45.
"Should be" is a far cry from "will," unfortunately.
Lecce (4-3-3): Falco; Gallo, Tiago Gabriel, Siebert, Veiga; Coulibaly, Ramadani, Ngom; N’Dri, Cheddira, Pierotti
Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): de Gea; Gosens, Ranieri, Pongračić, Dodô; Mandragora, Fagioli, Ndour; Guðmundsson, Piccoli, Harrison
No remorse. No apologies. No regrets.
Completely forgot about this. Feel like it needs updating although Vanoli's worn the exact same outfit for every single game in charge. Full Daniel Radcliffe defeating the paparazzi stuff.
A respectable farewell to Viola-tinged Thursdays for at least another year. www.violanation.com/conference-l...
Eh, crashing out here isn't death. That's still on the menu in Serie A but getting out of the Conference League is at worst a moderate fracture.
Fiorentina (4-2-3-1): de Gea; Gosens, Ranieri, Pongračić, Comuzzo; Mandragora, Fagioli; Solomon, Guðmundsson, Harrison; Piccoli
Crystal Palace (3-4-3): Henderson; Canvot, Lacroix, Richards; Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Muñoz; Pino, Mateta, Sarr
Those kids will have great grandkids by then.
Almost might be worth forfeiting this one to 1) keep everyone healthy and rested for Lecce, and 2) ensure it's just a 0-3 defeat and nothing worse.
That was 90 minutes that only a true Fiorentina sicko could love but for all you true Fiorentina sickos, well, yeah. You loved it.
Fiorentina (4-3-3): de Gea; Gosens, Ranieri, Rugani, Dodô; Fabbian, Ndour, Mandragora; Fazzini, Piccoli, Harrison
Lazio (4-3-3): Motta; Tavares, Romagnoli, Provstgaard, Lazzari; Bašiç, Patric, Taylor; Zaccagni, Dia, Cancellieri
Here's hoping. But that Fiorentina lineup is astoundingly bad.
Thank goodness Fiorentina did the decent thing and told everyone not to bother with the return leg.
Wait, that's an option? That's a thing a human being can do?
Danny are you okay
Crystal Palace (3-4-3): Henderson; Canvot, Lacroix, Richards; Mitchell, Kamada, Wharton, Muñoz; Guessand, Mateta, Sarr
Fiorentina (4-3-3): de Gea; Gosens, Ranieri, Pongračić, Dodô; Ndour, Fagioli, Fabbian; Guðmundsson, Piccoli, Harrison
It's just incomprehensible but also the most predictable thing in the world. Quantum stadium project.
The year is 2148. On the cold, dead surface of the earth, officials announce that, due to unforeseen structural and budgetary concerns, the Franchi's completion date has been pushed back another 2 years.
Laughing through the tears. Particularly when it's Robin Gosens being the world's biggest goofball.
Fiorentina's chances basically come down to which is funnier: getting destroyed here or getting all the way back to the final before pooping the bed again.
