The Napoli Rant w/Raff N Raff

Season 22/23 - The Napoli Rant - Episode 26 - Men In Front: 50 Points At The Halfway Point || Juventus Deducted 15 Points

Raff N Raff are back to discuss the Round 19 2-0 win in the away leg of the Derby Della Campania. That means at the halfway mark, Napoli are winter champions with 50 points and are on pace to smash the Sarri record of 91 points AND could very well be gunning for the Serie A record 102 points season set by the 2014/15 Juventus led by Antonio Conte.

Raffa & The Bizz crown a Beast of the Match for Round 19 and we announce that on next week's episode, we will appoint a Beast of the Quarter for the 2nd quarter of this season.

Finally, the boys can't shy away from what's going on at Juventus.  As most know, the Turin club have been docked 15 points and now sit a massive 27 points behind the partenopei. Juve fans across the globe are in a frenzy and are calling for Napoli's head as the prosecutors open the Osimhen investigation for a 3rd time with a 6 month extension. 

 

Come hang with Raff & Raff at Ribalta in NYC this Sunday, January 29 at 2:45pm for the Napoli-Roma viewing party.  Guests from 5 different Napoli clubs will be in attendance and all are welcome to come celebrate our club! Please note that it will be first come first serve and space is limited. The Raff's hope to see you all there!

Raffa brings the Frenemies series to The Napoli Rant and brings in Vito Doria of Total Italian Football, to speak about the career of Gianluca Vialli, who sadly passed away earlier this morning, January 6, 2023 - the Day of the Epiphany. Vialli, while  battling pancreatic cancer, assisted his friend and former Samp & Italy teammate, manager Roberto Mancini in winning Euro 2020. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vialli family today and this weekend!
