This week on Noi Tifiamo Napoli, Raffa adresses the 2-1 win at the Maradona v Salernitana and the 3-0 win in the Supercup Semi-final v Fiorentina in Saudi Arabia.
A last minute winner by Rrahmani in Naples and a 6 minute Zerbin masterclass is the talk of the town, but boss Mazzarri has done it and changed us into a 3 man back line. Have we seen Mazzarri ball retun? What does it mean for the future? How will the new signings Junior Traore' & Cyril Ngonge fit in to all of this? Tune in!

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!
