Ep. 5.14 - Turns out things CAN get worse for Fiorentina... (But Venezia win!)

Uh oh... Just as we said last week things could only get better for Fiorentina, in true Rigore fashion, we proved to be wrong again. A damaging defeat against Verona has left Ginkers a broken man - very much in contrast to Marco, who watched Venezia dominate Serie B league leaders Monza. Plus, we chat about some other games as well... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hard for one half of the pod to record this episode as Fiorentina sink to a new low - are they doomed? Elsewhere, Napoli beat Juve, Inter hammer Como and down in Serie B Venezia are frustrated by Avellino... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Was it a penalty? Was it a farce? We discuss the end of the Milan-Lazio game, and also look at how the other top teams got on this weekend. Plus, Fiorentina aren't improving, while Venezia are - could the Rigore! Apocalypse occur and see roles reversed next season? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A return to league action was a relief after Italy's poor showing, which we analyse in painful detail. Plus, the Venetian derby is Arancioneroverdi, while Fiorentina just about climb off the bottom of the table. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

An old Venezia favourite was installed as Fiorentina's new manager, but he couldn't guide them to victory against Genoa, while Inter and Roma climbed to the top of the table. Plus, Conte's second season struggles and Milan's Allegriball cost Napoli and the Rossoneri. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's what people want - two miserable hosts as Fiorentina and Venezia both lose. But not all misery is the same - as Fiorentina get off to their worst start ever, we ask: Where did it all go wrong? Plus, we try to look at some other games, including Venezia's defeat (but Giancarlo makes sure it all comes back to Fiorentina...) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Late goals made one half of the pod smile and another fall crestfallen to the ground as Fiorentina stage an unlikely comeback while Venezia fell to defeat to Carrarese. Plus, we discuss VAR (of course!) and a hot-off-the-press sacking at Juve! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Giancarlo is not a happy man as he rages at a VAR gift to Milan that saw them beat the Viola to go top. Elsewhere, it was a weekend of few goals, but all of it makes for a very tight race at the top. Meanwhile, Venezia couldn't take advantage of a Palermo-Modena draw to close on the summit in B. Plus, we look back at Italy's wins in the World Cup qualifiers. Hosted on Acast.

Good news and bad news for the pod this week as Venezia sweep aside league leaders Frosinone in convincing fashion, while in Serie A, Fiorentina continue their poor start to the season. Plus, Juve and Milan share a point, while Inter seem to be getting back to some form. All that and a look ahead to Italy's crucial qualifiers v Estonia and Israel. Hosted on Acast.

As the Rossoneri go top with a victory over Napoli, we celebrate the first ever Rigore! prediction to go right! Plus, Roma looking good, Fiorentina not so much. And Venezia helped by VAR, but are they firing on all cylinders yet? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
