Viola Station 96: 16th* place never felt so good

About this episode

The hosts discuss Fiorentina's recent successes in Serie A and the Conference League, along with their ideal starting lineup and the Relegation Percent-o-meter.

After back-to-back wins in Serie A for the first time this year and a resounding Conference League triumph thrown in there for good measure, your favorite Fiorentina podcast idiots are in a fine mood and ready for a rare positive episode. And yes, we realize that this is probably why that second leg of the Jagiellonia Białystok game went so badly awry. Anyways, we're running through our big dogs, boneheads, and conclusions of the past couple weeks, as per usual. Now that the dust has settled on the mercato, we also chatted about the ideal starting lineup for these final few months, and then wrapped up with our usual visit to the Relegation Percent-o-meter. Along the way, we learned the reason behind Producer Mike's reticence to bark, McMike's wardrobe suggestion (hint: it's tearaway shirts), and Tito's recurring vapors.
