The Raffs are back on this Labor Day 2023 after a week off to discuss Napoli's first loss of the 23/24 season. Just when we thought all was going well as Napoli won their home opener last week v Sassuolo 2-0 and we even saw new boss Rudi Garcia making changes to test the limits of the squad, Napoli lose themselves and the match 2-1 in the 2nd half v Lazio at the Maradona.
As most of Napoli Twitter are now in panic mode after only one bad half in MD3, Raff N Raff's topics are Garcia's mistakes, Lobotka's role, Olivera lacking offensive and Jesus not being Kim are the topics of the week, while we still crown a Beast of the Match (win, lose or draw). Finally, Raffa N The Bizz breifly touch on Napoli's Champions League opponents with their thoughts on the draw that took place last week.

Episode 36: Is The Water Fresh?
Henry and Michele gather less than 24 hours after the 2-1 home loss to Lazio. Michele gives his Curva B perspective on Rudi Garcia’s new tactics with a particularly focus on our back line and the regista. The feelings of the tifosi and ultras towards ADL are explained as are the new season’s ticket prices. More important matters such as bad pizza, Mozzarella in carrozza and Stanislav Lobotka’s possible nightlife preferences are also discussed.

After a half hour of dealing with technical difficulties for the LIVE Monday night episode, Raff N Raff are here for week 1 of Serie a 2023/24, as Napoli begins their title defense. It's Champions v Champions in Serie A as the Italian Champions Napoli took on the Serie B Champions Frosinone at Stadio Benito Stirpe.
The Raff's have a lot to unpack from the 3-1 away win, such as Osimhen starting right where he left off, bagging 2 goals on his quest for a first capocannoniere repeat since Antonio Di Natale in 2010 and 2011. Also, Capitano Giovanni Di Lorenzo assisted the Nigerian TWICE. Jens Cajuste got a surprise start that didn't go so well, but we saw another suprise as Zambo Anguissa was magically fit to take his place in the 2nd half. And Raffa & The BIz crown the official first Beast of the Match as Scudetto winners in this new season.
Raffa & The Bizz were also in attendance for the first Trii-State Napoli Club meet at our member Dan Nizz's brand new restaurant, Pizzetiello in Pearl River, NY and we chat about that as well.

Episode 35: Things Will Straighten Out
Henry and Michele are back to look ahead to 2023/24. Here they focus their preview on the fantastic listener questions received and talk about: Napoli transfer policy, post-Scudetto opportunity for global growth, ADL’s legacy, Osimhen’s renewal, Kvara’s expectation and the heated cone v cup gelato debate returns.

The stage was set by Inter, who we needed to either tie or beat Lazio earlier in the morning. They won 3-1. So all we needed from this round 32 was a win over Salernitana. Mathias Olivera made it 1-0 in the 62nd minute and for 22 minutes, Napoli had the Scudetto half sewn on their kits. But an 84th minute Boulaye Dia equalizer put the Asti back in the cooler as we now wait for midweek round 33. Lazio are home to Sassuolo. A Sassuolo result will clinch Napoli's 3rd Scudetto. A Lazio win would mean Napoli only need ONE POINT from their trip to Udine on Thursday to be Champions of Italy for the first time ever without Diego Armando Maradona. The Raff's break it all down. Then, Raffa Rispo tells all about his journey on Sunday in an emotional roller coaster you won't want to miss!!!
THE SCUDETTO ARRIVES THIS WEEK!
