It's all smiles this week as Fiorentina thump Sassuolo and Venezia get a huge win against Cremonese. We also chat about how De Rossi has turned things around at Roma, and look ahead to the big European matches coming up for the Italian sides. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's all about five - or six? - teams in the Champions League for Serie A this week, along with a look over the relegation battle in the league. Will Cannavaro save Udinese (unlikely)? Is Lopetegui the answer for Milan (probably not)? And much more, including a tight win for Venezia over bottom of the table Lecco in Serie B. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In a weekend of draws in Serie A, we pick out the highlights, including Milan and Sassuolo's humdinger and another controversial use of VAR in Lecce v Empoli. Plus, we wonder about Politano, look back at Italian clubs in Europe (including Atalanta's fabulous win at Anfield), and look at the race for promotion in Serie B, which devolves into a discussion about the richest owners in Italian football (who include the owners of Como and Cremonese...) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're both frustrated this week as we deal with Fiorentina's loss to Juve and Venezia's goalless draw at Ascoli. Plus, we discuss Juve's potential transfer market and one dubious signing in particular, and Marco launches a new conspiracy theory ahead of the Serie B playoffs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's Marco's turn to feel the post-match pain as this was recorded fresh off Venezia's 3-2 home defeat to Reggiana. Elsewhere, we look back the Azzurri's American holiday and mention Tudor's good start at Lazio, wonder how bad Juve can get, and big up Atalanta as they head into a key part of their season. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're all fans of Joel Pohjanpalo this week as we discuss another superlative performance from Venezia's Finnish hero. Plus, Inter-Napoli, new managers at Lazio and Lecce, and a look back at a good and bad week in Europe for Serie A clubs. Plus, Marco gets to ask again why Zaniolo has been called up for Italy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's a tough one for one half of the podcast this week as we record immediately after Roma's late late equaliser in Florence. Plus - we discuss the Thomas Henry/D'Aversa headbutt, wonder again what Milan fans expect and discuss yet another big weekend in Serie B (and a big win for Venezia). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
There were cards aplenty in Serie A this weekend - but was it down to poor refereeing or poor play? Plus, the shortest sub ever in Napoli v Juve, and Marco tries to dissect Como's last minute win against Venezia without having seen the game... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This week we discuss a couple of very special overhead kick goals (including a late winner for Venezia, which also served as another example of the 'reverse-curse' of our predictions), look back at Milan - Atalanta, and dream about the possibility of 7 Italian clubs in the Champions League next season... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
After the highs of last week, it is not quite service as normal, as neither Fiorentina or Venezia lost, but it's fair to say we hoped for more against Empoli and Modena. Elsewhere, another Juve slip has surely handed Inter the league, and the race for the Champions League spots gets ever more exciting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's lightness and joy on this week's episode as we take in thumping victories for both Fiorentina and Venezia, including a great start for Il Gallo Belotti for the Viola. Plus, a ding-dong battle in the rain in Rome as Inter beat Roma, and we look at what is shaping up to be a tight race for 4th place. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's misery all round this week as Fiorentina and Venezia both suffered late, late goals to lose their respective matches. Plus, we get the lowdown on what is going on in Venice after a tumultuous week off the pitch. Oh, and we also discuss some small game in Serie A between Inter and Juve. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's the namesake episode this week as we discuss penalties of all kinds - dodgy, stonewall and missed pens featured heavily in Serie A this week. Plus, we talk about millimetrical offsides, and the ghost game in Venice... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
It's a slimmed down show to go with a slimmed down Serie A calendar as four teams are away in Saudi playing the Supercoppa. We review that, and also discuss Juve going top of the league, Roma and Empoli getting wins after a change of manager, and Marco starts to worry about Venezia's leaky defence... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this slightly longer-than-normal episode, we discuss all manner of well-struck goals (or thunderb*stards, as Giancarlo so eloquently puts it) in a variety of games including Milan- Roma, Napoli- Salernitana and Venezia-Sampdoria. Plus we look ahead to the sorry spectacle of the Supercoppa Italia in Saudi Arabia... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Our final episode of the year sees us laughing at both ludicrous VAR penalties and comedy goals from this weekend, as well as looking back on Fiorentina and Venezia's years as a whole - and strangely finding out we are pretty happy with how things have turned out Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We look back at a successful week in Europe for all 7 of Italy's teams, wonder whether Inter are marching towards the scudetto, discuss Fiorentina's lucky win v Verona (and their horrible strip), and find out how none of the top teams in Serie B managed to win... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
A fine ranting episode as Giancarlo is frustrated with Roma's antics v Fiorentina, while Marco bemoans Venezia failing to take advantage of a red card v Cremonese. Elsewhere, we cover the traditional 1-0 win for Juve, and try to do justice to Muriel's incredible winner for Atalanta against Milan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We are getting giddy this week as Venezia win again thanks to a sublime piece of skill from Denis "Magic" Johnsen, while Fiorentina also win thanks to a fine goal from Sottil. Elsewhere, we look at Inter's victory over Napoli, as well as discussing Gatti's interesting winner for Juve... Plus, we look at the draw for Euro 2024 and wonder how Italy will fare... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're back after the international break, reflecting on Italy's qualification for the Euros and what may lie ahead for them. We also look at the resumption of the leagues in Italy as Juve and Inter fight to a stalemate, Milan sneak past Fiorentina, Empoli and Sassuolo share a 7 goal thriller, and Venezia go top of Serie B!
