Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse. Honestly would rather be relegated with Stroppa than have this guy in charge (who will also get us relegated)

A battle for bottom place between Rigore's two teams... Who will come out on top next week? Plus, the early scudetto race looks to have at least 5 contenders.
(note - we recorded this before Grosso's sacking)

Reminder to myself not to express football opinions on reddit. I had the temerity to say I didn't think Milan looked that great and you'd think I'd said I killed Milan fans' families. What a bunch of babies 😂
Look forward to seeing Milan conquer all this season now that I have been 'schooled'

Played well again, and unlucky on both goals. I think if Bella-Kotchap's attempted clearance on their 1st goal actually goes out we get something - it wasn't a game where we were hanging on. The defence is still a bit dodgy, and Adams not quite in form, but hopefully that change soon.

Losing at home to Lecce (and Di Francesco) is a bad way to start the season. Dominated, had two goals disallowed and their keeper pulled off some good saves, but it's a blow, no doubt. Think we'll be OK up front, but defence looks questionable.
On to the next... Milan away 😬

And so, the end is here... In our final episode of the season we review the final round of games in Serie A and also look at the Serie B playoffs and playouts... It's been great covering a historic season for Venezia (less so for Fiorentina), and we will speak to you all in August!

If you wondered if things would change for Serie A clubs playing young Italians, it would appear not... Doumbia leaving was inevitable, but why aren't Inter, Roma, Milan buying him? I'm sure they'll bring in a mediocre Ligue 1 player or something though

Yes, yes, Inter won the league, but there's only one thing to really talk about this week - VENEZIA IN SERIE A!
We look back at Venezia's promotion and wonder where it may take them next year (hopefully not straight back to Serie B!)

A weekend of few goals in Serie A, but the race for the last CL spot and last relegation spot is still wide open.
Down in Serie B, Venezia are only 3 points away...

We waited until after the Lecce-Fiorentina game to record this one. Was it worth it? No 😆 But come listen to use ramble about that, Inter walking away, the tense Serie B promotion race, and why wanting Italy to find a back door to the World Cup is wrong.

This should ensure Malago and Abete don't get the position... Anyone that thinks Conte is the long term solution is deluded. He'd get us to the Euros, maybe even do well, but won't bring the changes we need.

Are Inter already champions? Certainly looks that way. Things aren't so clear at the bottom of Serie A, however, as Fiorentina scrape a vital win. In Serie B, Venezia continue at the top, but not without a few scares v Pescara. Plus, why are Serie A teams so poor in Europe?
