E SE NE VAAAAA

LA CAPOLISTA SE NE VAAAA

Napoli have RETURNED to the summit of Serie A by defeating Torino at the Maradona 2-0 on two more goals by "McFratm" himself, Scott McTominay! 

Raff N Raff are STOKED because Inter lost their 2nd straight Serie A game, this time to Roma 1-0. This means Napoli now control their own destiny and have the FOURTH SCUDETTO in the palm of their hands!

Can the Partenopei hold on and get the glory? Wi...

NAPOLI WIN, INTER LOSE AND WE ARE LEVEL AT THE SUMMIT!!!

Raff N Raff are back after a week off... and boy have things changed in two weeks!

The Raffs go on a very deep dive with our thoughts on what Napoli's very important shutout wins over Empoli and Monza, coupled with Inter's last minute loss to Orsolini and Bologna, means for the rest of this season and next! Will Napoli take this scudetto, or wil...

Raff N Raff are back to discuss the 1-1 stalemate at the Dall’Ara this past weekend. A MAJOR opportunity dropped again, as Napoli failed to close the gap to one point while Inter drew to Parma.  The Raff’s are worried that redundancy has set in and things at Camp Conte are becoming too repetitive. Something needs to click for Napoli to realize number 4, which is still very much a possibility!

Finally, are we being too harsh on Con...

In this episode of the Rant, Raffa and Bizz discuss the big win at the Maradona over Milan 2-1, keeping the partenopei 3 behind Inter. With 8 games left and a more favorable schedule, Napoli could be in great position to take another scudetto, but will Conte be able to rely on his depth to carry us over? The fact that Napoli tend to take their foot off the pedal is concerning Bizz, but Raffa thinks regardless, Conte needs another s...

This week, Raff N Raff celebrate Raffa Rispo’s birthday by reviewing Napoli’s DISMAL 0-0 draw in Venezia. It was so bad, Raffa claims it gave him the flu.  In all seriousness, the Raffs try to make sense of what exactly is happening with our partenopei. With Inter beating Atalanta, Napoli are now 3 points adrift the top, but gain a point on La Dea. With 9 matches remaining, Napoli are still alive, but are certainly trending downwa...

Raff N Raff are a bit triggered in this episode of the Napoli Rant.

Napoli suffer their first setback in 8 matches, drawing on the road at the Olimpico vs Roma with a stoppage time equalizer after Spinazzola netted his first Napoli goal early on. It was a missed opportunity to go ahead 5 points on Inter, as they also only managed a draw to Milan. However, Napoli remain top of Serie A at least for a few more days, as Inter’s game in...

BUON NATALE A TUTTI

Napoli head into Christmas still in a close 2nd to Atalanta and grind out an important win on the road to Genoa at the Marassi. Raff N Raff cover that and announce Beast of the Match, but a main "Rant" comes from perhaps controversial takes from Mike Grella and a great friend of the Rant, Patrick Kendrick. They claim Napoli can't sustain playing like this, despite getting results. Raffa & The Bizz chime in!

So much for rotation!

In this episode, Raff Bizz returns and The Raff's discuss the 1-0 home loss v Lazio, which now puts Napoli 2nd in Serie A despite Antonio Conte's complete rotation of the squad in Coppa Italia.

The Raffs ask now if there is something wrong in the squad, and, if so, what is wrong? Is it lack of goals? Is it lack of depth? We discuss what might need to happen in order for Napoli to regain top spot and truly figh...

STILL ON TOP!

Raffa Rispo and Raff Bizz are back to cover the 1-0 Napoli win over Roma in the Maradona leg of the Derby Del Sole. 

More debate over if Kvara is producing enough, or if his head isn’t in it because of the contract. Just days after playing 180 minutes for Georgia, Kvara produced an okay performance, but got subbed out quickly. What does it mean? Che significa?
