Season 22/23 - The Napoli Rant - Episode 38: Scudetto Napoli Loading...|| Inter Come Through; Napoli Don’t; We Wait

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!

Season 22/23 - The Napoli Rant - Episode 36 - Spalletti Strikerless @ San Siro?: UCL Milan-Napoli Discussion || Lecce 1-2 Napoli Review

Raff N Raff are ready for the CHAMPIOOOOOOONS League quarterfinal, but they MIGHT be more ready than Spalletti's Napoli as they face a BIG issue up front at the striker position.  Will he have league leading goal scorer Victor Osimhen AND/OR UCL leading scorer Giacomo Raspadori available? They lost Giovanni Simeone for a few weeks, so there is a real chance Lucky Luciano has to change his formation for the first leg this coming Wednesday.  

We did play away to Lecce this past Friday, where we won 2-1, and while it was not in the prettiest fashion, it brings us one step closer to the Scudetto we dreamed of.  And of course, the Raff's appoint a Beast of the Match!

Season 22/23 - The Napoli Rant - Episode 35 - Meltdown at the Maradona: Napoli-Milan Aftermath & Ultras Protest

Raff N Raff are back after a week off, but as an historic season unfolds, all is not well this week at the Stadio Maradona as Napoli suffer their worst defeat in AGES, a 4-0 loss at the hands of reigning Campioni d'Italia & upcoming Champions League Quarterfinal opponents AC MIlan.  But it doesn't stop there. More Ultras trouble as fights break out and protesting became somewhat tense. Raffa & The Bizz break it all down like they only could...and there still is a Beast of the Match!

Episode 29: Practice What You Preach.

 

Henry and Michele explore the ultra conflict which blighted the 4-0 home loss to Milan.

 

Michele was in Curva B to witness the depressing events but he also walks us through the context to the dispute. 

 

This is *the* show to get you in the picture with the conflict which is more nuanced than it might first appear since it comes direct from city itself.

 

The episode ends for a call for solidarity amongst fans and ultras to resolve the issue and get behind the team.
