Episode 41 - Say Nothing
Buon anno tifosi! Henry and Michele pick apart the disastrous title defense thus far. Michele shares his Christmas table conversations about the club before going through the reactions in the città to the various events of the past few months. Henry and Michele do their best to consider the issues with the club rationally and work out who is at fault and what needs to happen in the future. Sometimes this rationality might vanish into emotion, however!

Yes, it's true! Raff N Raff are stepping away from The Napoli Rant. This is the final episode! Raffa Rispo and Ralph Bizzarro have decided to take a sabbatical, but not before the GREAT news of Rudi Garcia being SACKED after an embarrassing 1-0 home defeat to lowly Empoli. Walter Mazzarri is our new manager until the end of the season and The Raff's have a WHOLE LOT of Ranting to do before they sign off.
We want to thank everyone who sponsored our show over the past few months and we want to thank all the listeners for tuning in. Our discord will still be open, we'll still be on our Rant socials offering content, such as minute Rants and Beast of the Match after ever Napoli game. You can also find Raffa Rispo @RaffaNapoli83 on X/Twitter & @raffarispo on Instagram and Raff Bizz is on Instagram @rbzee.
We won't be completely gone... it's just a see you later! We love you! Grazie per tutti!

Episode 39 Small Talk, Empty Stomachs
Henry and Michele are back and discuss the draw with Union mid week. Michele paints the picture of the fan trouble and discusses the tactics of the team from the Curva perspective. Then the hosts spend some time considering the best mister to come in if Garcia is fired before a bit of impromptu Shakespeare.

Raffa & The Bizz are back to Rant on Rudi Garcia AGAIN, despite the 2-0 road victory vs Salernitana in The Derby Dei Due Golfi. Napoli sit alone in 4th after Serie A Matchday 11 and are headed into the midweek UCL Group Stage Matchday 4 match with Union Berlin, who have lost their last 12 straight in all comps while not scoring in 32 days. Be sure to catch In The Shadow Of Vesuvio for that recap @ShadowOfVesuvio on X(Twitter). But the question remains, #GarciaOut? Ralph Bizzarro has some harsh words for the French boss, while Raffa Rispo feels the need to calm everyone down. Of course, we crown a Beast of the Match and this one is a surprise.

In a SPOOOOOOKY edition of the Napoli Rant, Raffa & The Bizz are all about the big showdown at the Maradona. In a rematch from the Quarterfinal of last seasons UCL , Napoli and Milan engaged in an exciting 2-2 draw, If we ever had a more appropriate show title, let us know, because this was literally the "Tale of Two Halves". Raff N Raff go over the aftermath of this battle, appoint TWO Beasts (the other for the 1-0 UCL win in Berlin) and discuss other lineup options, as we saw quick rotation at halftime from Garcia. Also, Raffa RANTS on Rudi toward the end of the show as he feels the boss is not as serious as we need him to be in these times.

The boys are back after a week off to discuss Napoli's 3-1 away victory over Hellas Verona at a very hostile Stadio Bentegodi. Raffa & The Bizz, along with the live chat, comment on the solid performances by the team who, once again, win without Victor Osimhen. With Osimhen suffering yet another injury while on international duty with Nigeria, ADL made his usual comments about how he feels about the "meaningless" international friendlies. We crown a Beast of the Match for the Verona Serie A game and briefly touch on Napoli's trip to Berlin to face Union Berlin in the UEFA Champions League!

A long-awaited event! The Napoli Rant meets Forza Napoli Pod in this special simulcast InstaRant! You'll be able to listen to this content on BOTH Napoli Rant on Far From Vesuvius AND Forza Napoli Podcast wherever you download your audio podcasts! Napoli Pod Pioneers Joe Fischetti and Raffa Rispo discuss EVERYTHING Victor Osimhen and the MASSIVE MASSIVE 4-1 result against Udinese today. It was looking ever so likely that Napoli would be 10 points adrift of a scudetto repeat, but that result coupled with an Inter loss to "Giant Killers" Sassuolo sees us only 4 back and everyone who panicked is suddenly back to jubilation!

The Raffs are back this week to cover the dismal 0-0 at the Dall'Ara in Bologna. Do we REALLY want #RudiOut? Is Kvara finding his form again? How did Natan & Ostigard shape up together? Who's the Beast this week? And what's up with Vic? Raffa & The Bizz cover this, plus briefly touch on the #UCL MD 1 win over Braga & on to REAL MADRID in a little more than a week.

Episode 37: Bleeding Columns
Michele and Henry reflect on another frustrating weekend for Napoli. They consider why this stumbling start from Garcia feels different to the equally underwhelming beginning to the Sarri regime. Michele reads the temperature of the city and Henry explains why his typical patience with the club is not showing this time around.
