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 hand will be played this week. The Raffs go over the Mercato that most (really) old and (much) newer Napoli fans are going mad over. As, Napoli added depth to the Rosa, some people are not pleased with our “lack of ambition” and are starting to make outrageous claims toward Conte and (as usual) ADL. You don’t wanna miss this epic RANT! And Finally, Raff Bizz gives a very special testimonial to Raff Rispo, as Sig. Rispo celebrates his 8th Anniversary of Napoli Podcasting! TIFOSI!!!

In what was the biggest match of the season to date, Raff N Raff are in discuss Napoli's 3-2 win in Bergamo. With the transfer of Kvara to PSG made official just hours prior, Napoli continue their run in Serie A as leaders by winning their 6th match in a row and their 8th road win out of 11, which has only been done twice in the history of the partenopei (17/18 & 22/23). We designate a special Beast of the Match and ask if this is now TRULY Conte's Napoli, with about half of the Scudetto winners gone.

Buon Anno a tutti! Raff N Raff return from the holidays to review TWO matches, which means more Raffa & The Bizz and more Beasts of the Match. Napoli defeat both Venezia at home and Fiorentina away to conclude the “Andata” first half of the 24/25 Serie A. They currently sit top of the league, but with Atalanta and Inter both at one and two matches in hand respectively. Also, two HUGE topics to cover: Not should he, but WHO should Neres start over; Politano OR Kvara? Bizz discusses. And, Raffa has some stats which begs the question; does this massive defensive display continue, and is it enough for a 4th scudetto? Don’t miss the first episode of 2025 with Raff N Raff! TIFOSI!!!

David Neres steps up in a big way as e sets up the match winner in between important goals by Lukaku and Anguissa after being down 1-0 at the half. What was said by Conte in the locker room? Also, Raffa & The Bizz chat about the possibility of Napoli and Kvara reaching a deal that would extend him to 2029, making 6M Euro a season.

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 fight for the 4th scudetto! Also as you know, win, lose or draw, we pick our Beast of the Match! TIFOSI!!!

Raffa Rispo flies solo in this very unique two part episode. Part 1 is recorded on Thursday, Dec 5 at 9am EST and Our Vicar of Vesuvius covers the great road win over Torino from matchday 14 in Serie A. Part 2 is recorded at 10pm EST on the same day where Raffa then covers the disappointing, yet maybe necessary Coppa Italia exit at the hands of Lazio 3-1 at Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Napoli will meet Lazio again on Sunday at the Maradona in a big league clash, so Conte went for a FULL rotation that didn't quite pan out the way we wanted it to... or did it? Depends on who you ask!

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.

Napoli may be taking a break for the FIFA International Calendar, but Raff N Raff are in full force...and we have something REAL special for you. It's the FATHER OF FUORIGROTTA, Antonio (Tony) Rispo, Raffa Rispo's papà, is in studio to give us a brief sneak peek, but very fun look at his story as a Napoli fandom. We very briefly discuss Italy's UEFA Nations League Group Stage wrapping up, but we dig deep into possible transfers as rumors are heating up, players we let go of last season and possible motives as to why they left for this season, our real areas of need and Kvara and his future. Finally, we ask the question: Is Napoli more focused on building for next season than winning this season? Don't miss this one!!! TIFOSI!!! Please join us in our Napoli Rant Discord Chat!

The Tale Of Two Napoli's is the theme this week as Raff N Raff are back to cover the big win in Milano last Tuesday and...well quite frankly...the big loss at the Maradona on Sunday vs Atalanta. Napoli remain top of Serie A, but now 1-6 are separated by 4 points as Napoli head BACK to Milano for a HUMUNGOUS 2vs1 match up with Campioni Inter! However, the question looms: What went right for Napoli at San Siro that Napoli missed on Sunday in Naples? Kvara and Lukaku do their thing on the road, while going missing at home. Was it Conte? Was it just that Gasperini, Lookman, Retegui & Atalanta are serious title contenders? Or was it something else? Find out how Rispo & The Bizz feel after this rollercoaster week. TIFOSI!!!

SALUTA LA CAPOLISTA Napoli grind out another big win over smaller competition and with the Inter-Juve draw, they climb further in their quest for another scudetto. But is this enough to sustain? Do we need to see more goals? Kvara and Politano sat for this one, allowing for Neres & Ngonge to start. Impressive, though can one (or both) break through to the starting XI? Do they deserve more of an active role, especially Ngonge? And the Kvara debate continues. Is the contract chat altering his play? Or is it a result of a change with Conte and Lukaku?

Napoli gains a road point v Juventus at the J in Turin. The highly anticipated encounter ended up a goal-less draw marks the 4th straight positive result for Conte's men, something they couldn't achieve last season.

Raff N Raff celebrate another Napoli win. It took a while, but Conte's men got back to dominating performances with a 4-0 away drubbing of Cagliari. Lukaku set up Di Lorenzo and Kvara.

Raff N Raff celebrate the huge comeback 2-1 win for Conte's Napoli over an exciting Parma side led by former Napoli player Fabio Pecchia. The new striker #11 Romelu Lukaku comes in and makes an immediate impact with a goal on his debut. David Peres comes in and makes ANOTHER immediate impact and gets the match winning assist. Sloppy first half, but the job was done. How do the Raff's feel about it? Who won Beast of the Match? And finally, while on the pitch has been a success, the transfer window ended on a sour note as Napoli fail to offload Victor Osimhen and he will sit in the stands whilst making 1 Million Euro a month. Who is at fault? RISPO RANTS on who he thinks is to blame in this can't miss episode! TIFOSI!!! Please join us in our Napoli Rant Discord Chat!

The Pre$identi are back with new bets and Fantacalcio round up. Last week, Gaetano's sure bet was not so sure as Roma lose at home to Empoli. However, Raffa's sure bet of Juventus destroying Verona came in. Gaetano shone through with his props, though, as he guessed Kvara & Retegui scoring and he also won the head-to-head contest with Raffa as he got 4 right to Raffa's 3. Gaetano ALSO won the head-to-head vs Raffa in Fanta Lemonade League for his first win, while Raffa still looks for his first W. And of course, this weeks top picks by the presidenti. *DISCLAIMER* If you choose to participate in sports betting or gambling, we encourage you to do so responsibly with the understanding that success is not guaranteed and that you risk the loss of some or all of monies used when betting on sports or gambling of any kind.

Last time we heard from Kubani, we bet Napoli to beat Frosinone, Osimhen Goal and +7.5 corners for a +140. That didn’t hit. That didn’t hit. For Empoli last week we had no show, but the bet on X was Osimhen and Kvara shot on target, over 7 corners and a Napoli win. That also didn’t hit. We slid to 4-5 on the season. Can we turn this 2 match skid around at the Maradona v Roma? A very important match to keep the possibility of UCL qualification alive.
Fri, April 26, 2024
Raffa sits down with Joe Fischetti to discuss the European landscape and what it COULD mean to Napoli. Now that Serie A hold the extra Champions League spot, does the possibility of Roma or Atalanta winning the Europa League leave Napoli open to a chance at a UCL spot...in 6TH??? Also, Napoli lose to Empoli for the second time this season...so does any of it even matter?

BACK TO WINNING WAYS When we last had a show, we made a bet for the Atalanta match. That was a complete disaster for Napoli, and it was a loser for our bet season. However, not only was Napoli a winner v Monza, but so were you if you bet with us. Although we didn’t get to have a show, we still posted a bet to our socials. (Always check the socials) Osimhen shot on target Kvara shot in target Napoli win +125 That win takes us to 4-3 on the season. This week, we’re back home against Frosinone. As we look to avenge our embarrassing home exit in the Coppa Italia to the Laziali, we also look to gain a winning streak on the betting line. *DISCLAIMER* If you choose to participate in sports betting or gambling, we encourage you to do so responsibly with the understanding that success is not guaranteed and that you risk the loss of some or all of monies used when betting on sports or gambling of any kind.

Raffa Rispo has returned from a brief hiatus after the International break and the Atalanta loss. This week, co-host Daniel Russo also makes his return to the show after a spell off. The Pisces Paesani cover the big win in Monza at the U-Power Stadium 4-2. After being down 1-0 in a really dismal first half, things weren’t looking good again until Osimhen and Co. put on a masterful 2nd half. With Serie A at a 99% chance of getting that 5th spot in the Champions League, can Napoli ride this momentum all the way til the end of the season and get that all important spot? The guys also discuss the heavy rumor that ADL has found his new DS in former Juve youth DS Gianluca Manna. With that comes big time rumor that Antonio Conte will agree to terms on a 3-year deal with Napoli. How important would that be if Napoli don’t qualify for the Champions League, or Europe all together?

Together, they break down the Champions League loss to Barcelona and they discuss the future of Napoli & what Peyman is so concerned about. Before that, Ken Cioffredi has some words as well & responds to a very in-depth Tweet (X post...whatever) that warranted some words. Finally, Raffa closes the show with a mini breakdown of the scenario in which, despite the Serie A teams being out of the UCL in the quarters, Napoli can still make it to the Champions League next season with a 5th place finish...but they run into the champions-elect Inter in Milano this weekend.

TORINO DRAW AHEAD OF BIGGEST MATCH THIS SEASON SO FAR!!! In this episode, Raffa Rispo is joined by Ken Cioffredi again as Daniel Russo is off celebrating his birthday. We’d like to wish Dan un grande TANTI AUGURI!!! In part 1, Raffa and Ken discuss the Friday evening draw to Torino at the Maradona and how the results in Serie A over the weekend could have been much worse for the partenopei, as everyone in the race for the last spot in the UCL(possibly 2) dropped points. Then in part 2, the boys bring back Alex from Total Barca, ahead of the return in Spain, to get his thoughts on all things Barcelona-Napoli, including the 1st Leg, the outlook for the 2nd Leg and how Barcelona are doing since we last spoke 3 weeks ago. Of course, Raffa and Ken give the Napoli perspective too, but somewhere along the lines, all 3 go WAY off topic and even get into the state of football here in the United States. It was quite the conversation, to say the least! Finally, the ragazzi close up with final words before the big clash and even offer Kubani’s bet for the match v Barcelona, as Kuba was unable to record. Kuba’s bet for the Torino clash missed making us 1-2, but here’s to hoping we get back to .500 by winning this weeks offer, in a responsabile fashion, of course!

In this episode of FFV Bets On Napoli, Kubani is back to offer his best bets on the upcoming match at the Maradona with Juventus. Both teams have 1 win from their last 5 games. In this fixture last season, Napoli demolished Juve 5-1 and are riding high off their midweek rout of Sassuolo 6-1. Juventus, currently 2nd in the table, have been leaking goals in, but, in their last fixture, managed to barely scrape by Frosinone 3-2 on a last gasp winner by Rugani. *DISCLAIMER* If you choose to participate in sports betting or gambling, we encourage you to do so responsibly with the understanding that success is not guaranteed and that you risk the loss of some or all of monies used when betting on sports or gambling of any kind.

MA QUANTO SEI BELLO!!! The Napoli of old has resurfaced and Raffa Rispo is in flying solo this episode to review the 6-1 road demolition of Sassuolo. The neroverdi actually struck first where we all thought this was going to be another disappointing outing, yet Rrahmani's equalizer and then Osimhen's second ever hat trick with the partenopei, followed by a Kvaratskhelia brace brought us an amazing result and right in time for the weekend fixture against Juventus at the Maradona! There is still time to RSVP to the Napoli-Juve Watch Party at Montclair State University, brought to you by Serie A USA and the Coccia Institute. Raffa and Tri-State Napoli Club will be there.

Raffa & The Bizz are back to Rant on Rudi Garcia AGAIN, despite the 2-0 road victory vs Salernitana in The Derby Dei Due Golfi. Napoli sit alone in 4th after Serie A Matchday 11 and are headed into the midweek UCL Group Stage Matchday 4 match with Union Berlin, who have lost their last 12 straight in all comps while not scoring in 32 days. Be sure to catch In The Shadow Of Vesuvio for that recap @ShadowOfVesuvio on X(Twitter). But the question remains, #GarciaOut? Ralph Bizzarro has some harsh words for the French boss, while Raffa Rispo feels the need to calm everyone down. Of course, we crown a Beast of the Match and this one is a surprise.

Episode 37: Bleeding Columns Michele and Henry reflect on another frustrating weekend for Napoli.

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. TIFOSI!!! Please join us in our Napoli Rant Discord Chat!

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.

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! TIFOSI!!!

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.
