Season 22/23 - The Napoli Rant - Episode 16: Three’s Company || Manacc’ O Meret || Napoli 3-2 Bologna

Napoli wins their 10th straight in all competitions with a 3-2 win over Bologna at the Maradona as they head into a much needed week without a midweek match. Osimhen's winner boasted the question: Is Three's Company at Napoli? With Raspadori starting regularly, Osimhen back from injury is producing and we haven't seen Simeone for two consecutive matches, what is the plan moving forward?

Meret's blunder to make it 2-2 caused a stir among fans.  Should we give him the benefit of the doubt? Or is there cause for concern?

We discuss the win and award a new Beast of the Match!

Raffa also shouts out the Tri-State Napoli Club as he attended the meet and the Fellas & Bellas got a surprise visit at Luna in Nutley, NJ from a Serie A representative.

 

Raff N Raff at The Napoli Rant are proud to be ambassadors of the Tri-State Napoli Club. To join us, visit the club Twitter page @tri_napoliclub.

Season 22/23 - Kubani’s Korner -”Napoli Make Football Look Easy”; Qualified For Round Of 16

Marco "Kubani" D'Onofrio flies solo this week to wrap up another tremendous European night at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona as our partenopei beat Ajax 4-2 and CRUISE to the knockout stages of the 2022/23 UEFA Champions League.  Goals by "El Chooky" Lozano, Jack Raspadori, a Kvaradona penalty and a returning Victor Osimhen sealed the deal for Napoli sending the crowd into a frenzy.  One more point will win Group A, but Luciano Spalletti's squad can breathe and focus on the Serie A table as they try to mount a bigger league lead before the World Cup break.

Season 22/23 - The Napoli Rant - Episode 15 - Victorless Victories || Serie A Matchday 9: Cremonese-Napoli 1-4 || Beast of the Quarter

Raff N Raff are back this week to cover Napoli's matchday 9 win over Cremonese 4-1 at the Stadio Giovanni Zini, the very first Serie A win for the partenopei in Cremona. 

The Bizz has questions about Luciano Spalletti's light rotation maybe being too light as we lose Amir Rrahmani to injury until possibly after the World Cup break.

We hand out not only a Beast of the Match, but we introduce a new feature on the Rant called Beast of the Quarter, as we hit the quarter mark in the Serie A Season.

Raffa still has questions for some doubters and pessimists.

And the Raff's ponder what could happen now that Victor Osimhen is back from injury and in the squad for Ajax in Naples on Wednesday and how that may have either a negative or positive affect on our play!
