January 06, 2025 Ep. 4.17 - The Rebalancing Episode
It's the halfway stage of the season and we think the results are starting to rebalance the league a little - Roma doing a bit better as we thought they would and Lazio and Fiorentina a little worse. Elsewhere, Venezia grab a point against Empoli, but was it a good or bad point? And what does the January market have in store for clubs?

December 23, 2024 Ep. 4.16 - The Happy Christmas Episode
Marco is full of festive cheer as Venezia deliver that Christmas miracle win against Cagliari, while Atalanta's sensational season continues. We also discuss the ridiculousness of VAR offside decisions, and wonder if Roma have turned a corner. Merry Christmas all!

December 16, 2024 Ep 4.15 - The Rigore per la Juve Episode
Atalanta stay top, Fiorentina's winning run ends, and Venezia nearly pull off a historic result in Turin - only for Juve to get their usual 95th minute penalty...

NOTE - Initially we uploaded a version in which Giancarlo's audio was too low (some may say this was a good thing!) but we have uploaded a new version - if you can read this, you should have the new and improved version!

December 09, 2024 Ep. 4.14 - The Stormy Weather Episode
It's the season of the "smaller" teams as Atalanta go top, and Fiorentina and Lazio dare to dream. But down at the bottom end, Venezia and Como play out a farcical draw in stormy weather - a result that probably keeps Di Francesco his job, but doesn't really help.

December 02, 2024 Ep. 4.13 - The One Where Marco Wishes He Was Still Sick
We're back after an illness-enforced absence, but things have only gotten worse for Venezia... How is Di Francesco still in a job? Elsewhere, there were frightening scenes in Florence when Edoardo Bove collapsed, but fortunately he seems to be doing a little better, while on the pitch, Napoli extended their lead at the top, while most teams at the bottom got some vital points.

November 11, 2024 Ep. 4.12 - Is this the most exciting Serie A start in recent memory?
Two points separate the top six teams (and four points separate the bottom 8) - is this the most exciting start ever? Well, not if you're a Venezia fan as they gift more ridiculous goals to their opponents. But there is more to celebrate for Giancarlo as Fiorentina continue to fly high.

November 04, 2024 Ep. 4.11 - The We Wuz Robbed Episode
What is more predictable in Italian football than a small team getting a goal chopped off v a big team in the last minute... we recorded this in the moments after Venezia's equaliser was cruelly ruled out against Inter. Elsewhere, Atalanta thump Napoli in Naples, and Fiorentina's hot streak continues. Is the title race as open as it seems?

October 28, 2024 Ep. 4.10 - The Goals Goals Goals Episode
Serie A went goal crazy this weekend, with Giancarlo's own Fiorentina handing out a 5 goal thumping to Roma, Inter and Juve sharing just the 8 goals, and even Venezia and Monza sharing 4 goals in a 2-2 draw. Where does that leave things? Giancarlo is on cloud nine, but Marco sees some small signs of hope for Venezia...
