Serie A Chronicles

After perhaps the craziest start to a Serie A Chronicles episode, with doorbells buzzing, a walkout, beauty products and a false start, we get on to the serious stuff...

The disgraceful incident at Udinese v Milan which saw Udinese fans direct racial abuse at Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan. Milan were able to achieve a sort of sporting justice after the temporary suspension of the match, grabbing a late winner via Noah Okafor.

While the snake is away the zebra will play... Juventus leapfrogged Inter to be first on the Serie A ladder while the nerazzurri were over in Riyadh winning the Supercoppa. Should we be surprised that Max Allegri has managed to get his team into this position?

Nicky tells us about her interview with Weston McKennie for 8 By 8 Magazine, talking food crimes among other things.

And is there room for Federico Chiesa in this Juventus lineup?

Daniele De Rossi triumphs in his first hit-out on the Roma bench.

Survival specialist Davide Nicola is back, this time to try to work miracles with lowly Empoli, and started with a win over Monza.

What did we learn from the 4-way Supercoppa tournament in Riyadh and Inter’s crowning for a third time on the bounce?

The death of Italy legend Gigi Riva.

Later this week: Look out for our chat about what comes next for Jose Mourinho.

In this Chronicles Tifosi Patreon members-only episode extended preview:

Mateo Retegui is the latest "Oriundo" to play for Italy, rushed in ahead of Scamacca, Gnonto and other Azzurri strikers, despite only three training sessions and never stepping foot in Italy before.

Is Retegui the right man up front for Italy, and is it fair for an Oriundo to be rushed in ahead of other players who have been brought up in the Italian system?

And, in a wider political and societal context, what does it say about Italy's treatment of its many non-citizens who were born in, raised in, and have lived, studied and worked in Italy for their whole lives, yet still are somehow not considered eligible for Italian citizenship?

Nicky Bandini and Mina Rzouki discuss this interesting and thought-provoking subject.

This week it was another Inter triplete, this time with 3 goals against former manager Jose Mourinho as his Roma side offered little resistance to the reigning champions, despite an amazing "tifo" from the Olimpico faithful.

We preview our interview with Venezia and USMNT star Gianluca Busio, who spoke to Mina Rzouki and Nicky Bandini about his time in Serie A so far and Sporting Kansas City previously, his Italian roots and his ambitions for the future. It was a wide-ranging and interesting discussion about life as a young player in Serie A, which will be dropping this Friday. You can catch some great snippets here in the main show.

In another crazy goal-fest of a Serie A weekend that saw Milan go top, Napoli slipped back to third behind both Milan clubs after a narrow loss to Gasperini's brilliant Atalanta side in the match of the round which Nicky described as "so effing good!".

We discuss the injuries plaguing some of the league's top players and clubs, and will Dusan Vlahovic decide to stay in Italy or will the likes of Tottenham or Manchester City capture his signature?

Mina was excited about a Juventus victory and Paulo Dybala being awarded Serie A player of the month, as we round up of the rest of the exciting weekend. And then stick in to the end for a tribute to Italy and Juventus legend Paolo Rossi who left us a year ago this week.

"Someone, somewhere, grow a backbone and actually stick up for something because this is ridiculous".

In this Chronicles Tifosi Patreon members-only episode preview:

Nicky is outraged at the continuing harassment of fans at the World Cup showing support for LGBT+ people, the faux-woke FIFA President Gianni Infantino and his offensive speech, and the spineless national football associations which easily backed down from wearing the "1Love" captain's armband because of FIFA's threat of issuing yellow cards.

We also discuss the matches so far, particularly England v Iran, USA v Wales and Netherlands v Senegal.

In what is one of our best episodes yet, you will recognise yourself and your own family in their memories of family, heartbreak and celebration, as they describe where they were, who they were with and how they felt at various World Cup moments.
