October 13 S6 E5 - Hopes for Italy, Trouble for Fiorentina
We return after the international break to discuss Italy's performances (reasons to be hopeful) and discuss the return of Serie A and Fiorentina's defeat to Genoa (reasons to be despondent).

This episode was recorded before Venezia's loss to Atalanta (and Stroppa's sacking) so Marco isn't as miserable as he could have been...

September 22 S6 E4 - Down and out in the Venetian Lagoon
After a week's hiatus to allow Marco to recover from losing the Rigore! derby, we are back and things are going from bad to worse for Venezia, who sit dead last in Serie A with zero points... Things have improved somewhat for Fiorentina since the appointment of Vanoli however. At the top, Inter, Roma and Lazio are setting the early pace, while Cagliari and Frosinone are the surprise packages. Plus, we discuss Mancini's first Italy squad since his reappointment.

September 08 S6 E3 - Battling it out at the bottom
No reprieve from the misery this week as both Venezia and Fiorentina continue their poor starts - but it must all change next week when they face each other at the Penzo! At the other end of the table, things are hotting up and though it is early days, it looks like there could be a 4 or 5 way battle for the Scudetto!

NOTE - we recorded this before Grosso's sacking, so we will address that in the next pod!

May 19 Ep. 5.35 - Roma step into the CL?
Fiorentina finally put in a convincing performance - not much good for them, but is it enough to deny Juve a Champions League spot? Meanwhile, while Serie B is finished its regular season, the playoffs and playouts have started...

It's celebration time as Venezia secure their return to Serie A. We dive deep into their promotion, and look ahead to their final game with Palermo (and the return of Pohjanpalo...)
