Napoli may be taking a break for the FIFA International Calendar, but Raff N Raff are in full force...and we have something REAL special for you. It's the FATHER OF FUORIGROTTA, Antonio (Tony) Rispo, Raffa Rispo's papà, is in studio to give us a brief sneak peek, but very fun look at his story as a Napoli fandom. We very briefly discuss Italy's UEFA Nations League Group Stage wrapping up, but we dig deep into possible transfers as rumors are heating up, players we let go of last season and possible motives as to why they left for this season, our real areas of need and Kvara and his future. Finally, we ask the question: Is Napoli more focused on building for next season than winning this season? Don't miss this one!!!

Napoli stay first as we approach the last International break of the 2024. In to talk all about the massive point v Inter is the man who commentated the match at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Patrick Kendrick.

It's Raffa & The Bizz with the BEST in the WORLD...and you can find him on X: @patrickendrick

Bizz is back with Mind Your Bizz and is joined by a very special guest, Rocco Rispo, son of the Vicar of Vesuvius Raffa Rispo!
Rocco, 13yo, makes a very impressive debut and it’s all about the aftermath of one Victor Osimhen. How would the former Prince of Napoli fare in a Conte system? How does he compare to Romelu Lukaku? Should Napoli fans miss him? Find out as the Priest of Pompeii (see what we did there?) lets his raw and unfiltered thoughts out to Raff Bizz!
Mind Your Bizz is the latest podcast brought to you by Raff N Raff's Napoli Rant. Host Raff Bizz takes on this new interactive venture where he asks a series of questions and gets opinions on a certain topic each week from a member of our Discord.

The Tale Of Two Napoli's is the theme this week as Raff N Raff are back to cover the big win in Milano last Tuesday and...well quite frankly...the big loss at the Maradona on Sunday vs Atalanta.
Napoli remain top of Serie A, but now 1-6 are separated by 4 points as Napoli head BACK to Milano for a HUMUNGOUS 2vs1 match up with Campioni Inter! However, the question looms:
What went right for Napoli at San Siro that Napoli missed on Sunday in Naples? Kvara and Lukaku do their thing on the road, while going missing at home. Was it Conte? Was it just that Gasperini, Lookman, Retegui & Atalanta are serious title contenders? Or was it something else?
Find out how Rispo & The Bizz feel after this rollercoaster week.

SALUTA LA CAPOLISTA
Napoli grind out another big win over smaller competition and with the Inter-Juve draw, they climb further in their quest for another scudetto. But is this enough to sustain? Do we need to see more goals?
Kvara and Politano sat for this one, allowing for Neres & Ngonge to start. Impressive, though can one (or both) break through to the starting XI? Do they deserve more of an active role, especially Ngonge?
And the Kvara debate continues. Is the contract chat altering his play? Or is it a result of a change with Conte and Lukaku?
Finally, we have our first two-time Beast Of The Match for the season! Find out who, as Raff Bizz RETURNS along side Raffa Rispo!

Raffa Rispo flying solo in this, the 8th Napoli Rant episode of the season for Raff N Raff. Napoli defeat Empoli 1-0 on the road with a Khvicha Kvaratskhelia penalty kick. Not the prettiest fashion, but we'll take the win...RIGHT?
In the last episode, Bizz had a great Rant for the Kvara contract renewal. Two weeks on, there is still buzz about Fuorigrotta on if and how much Kvara will re-sign for. Raffa responds in his own Rant.

Napoli gains a road point v Juventus at the J in Turin. The highly anticipated encounter ended up a goal-less draw marks the 4th straight positive result for Conte's men, something they couldn't achieve last season. A change was made in formation to suit Scott McTominay's debut start. Is that the way forward? Was this a missed opportunity to snag 1st from surprise leaders Torino? Who did Raff N Raff select as Beast of the Match?
