Starting this summer, The Raff N Raff Rant will be exclusive on its own podcast channel! More information soon.
Raffa, solo this week as Biz is on vacation, is joined by Tri-State Napoli Club President, "Il Principale" Gaetano Sollazzo (@Sollazzo_1310) and Vice-President Peter "Baby Squid" Scala (@pscala11). We cover Napoli-Udinese at the weekend, as the quest for 25 of our last 27 points commences with 3 points. We talk about Victor's 2 more goals, our Beast Of The Match, the injuries & suspensions and Ciro & Lore and what they mean moving forward. Peter and Gaetano then take it amogst themselves to chat a little about transfers, as Raffa's connection was atrocious this episode and he gets lost in cyberspace. We also talk about the upcoming Italy International BIG match for a ticket to Qatar! Plus, our guests open up about the new club (@tri_napoliclub) and how and why it all got started.

BENTORNATI A CAPOLISTA!!!
YESSSS!!! On this 27th matchday, Napoli are in 27th heaven, as they beat Lazio 2-1 at the Olimpico on a Fabian Ruiz WONDERSTRIKE in the 94TH MINUTE! An Insigne goal from open play (finally) got things started, as it looks he’s returned to the form of last season. Pedro’s 88th minute equalizer stunned the partenopei, as it looked to be another 1-1 in Serie A and failed chance to capture the league lead for the 3rd straight week, as yet again both Milan clubs dropped points. But then, the Spanish magic of Fabian outside the box, from a brilliant sequence by Ounas, Elmas and Insigne, sealed all 3 points and now NAPOLI LEAD THE LEAGUE IN MARCH! We now turn our focus to Sunday at the Stadio Maradona and Milan, as this real life scudetto 6 pointer looms ahead! Can you believe we’re really saying that?
Anyway, in this episode, Raffa (with no voice) and the Biz (with no hair as always), are joined by none other that the 3rd Tenore himself, Joe Fischetti of Forza Napoli Calcio Podcast (also with zero follicles). We break down the win, what it means, what the next match means, and beyond to the final 10 matches after Milan, and even next season! I know we always say “Oh, you can’t miss this one”, but this is THE can’t miss!
You can find Joe and his podcast on Twitter @Joe_Fischetti5 and @ForzaNapoliPod. You can also become a patron of Joe by visiting patreon.com and search for the ForzaNapoli Calcio Podcast for as low as $1 per month. You can choose your pledge amount. Go support our 3rd Tenore!

Rispo & The Biz are back in to cover the fallout of the big Serie A match of the weekend as Napoli hosted Scudetto holders Inter at the Maradona this past Saturday in a real see-saw 1-1 result. Milan winning vs Sampdoria at home the next day meant that they are the new league leaders with 55 points. Inter slip to 2nd with 54 but have one match in hand vs Bologna, and Napoli have 53. We bring in Sempre Inter founder and 1/3 of the great Italian Football Podcast Nima Tavallaey to chat about the match, Inter's recent slip up and their Champions League Round of 16 showdown with Liverpool. He also chats us up about Napoli and our form, our chances against Barcelona in the Europa League knock out playoff and what we need to do to stay in the scudetto race. A great friend of the show and our great friends in the chat? what better show can we have?
You can find Nima on Twitter @NimaTavRood. Look for him at SempreInter.com and become a patron of the Italian Football Podcast for only $2.99 per month at patreon.com/TIFP.

KALIDOU KOULIBALY IS A CHAMPION!
Yes, Napoli's world's best center-back has captained his nation to it's very first AFCON win, as Senegal are Champions of Africa! Raff N Raff are back to discuss this with very special guest Mohamed Salad, who did a wonderful job covering the underrated and underappreciated tournament. Oh, and Napoli somehow managed to stay in the scudetto race, despite having the most players represented at AFCON and all the injury and covid battles. Napoli travel to Venezia and win 2-0 on Osimhen and Petagna goals. With Inter losing to Milan, we are now 1 point behind Inter as we host the Scudetto winners at the Maradona this coming Saturday.
You can find Mohamed Salad on Twitter @SaladNFL

Unless you've been living under a rock, THE story in Italian football is that Napoli captain, hometown hero, "Bandiera" Lorenzo Insigne is rumored to accept the offer from MLS side Toronto FC for a massive amount of money. Toronto's very own Marco "Kubani" d'Onofrio comes in to address these rumors, as he returns for an edition of "Kubani's Korner". Marco, having had close ties to TFC and being a lifelong Napoli supporter, is without question, the best person to hear from when it comes to this topic. The passion he has for BOTH Napoli and TFC is evident here, and we'd love your feedback so get at us on our socials and tell us what you think!

Napoli lose their 2nd match of the Serie A season 3-2 at home to Alatanta in a valiant effort. No doubt one of the most hard fought, see saw matches this season. There is only one person able enough to help Raffa break it all down and that is Joe Fischetti of the Forza Napoli Calcio Podcast. We then chat about the crucial upcoming UEL Matchday 6 fixture with Leicester City at the Maradona with LOTS of outcomes possible. Then next week, again in Naples, it's Napoli-Empoli in a tough, must win situation as the week after that is the match we've all been waiting for against Milan at the San Siro. We sneak in a Beast Of The Match right at the end. This is a fun one you dont want to miss!
