Bologna has made it to the Champions League for the first time after a brilliant season. Atalanta and Charles De Ketelaere were wonderful against a terrible Roma which was lucky to lose by only 1 goal a few days after the giallorossi's Europa League exit and La Dea reaching the final. Should Roma have prioritised Champions League qualification over trying to win the Europa League? Parma and Como will be in Serie A next season. Does Fiorentina’s Vincenzo Italiano deserve a bigger opportunity? Pre...

Federico Chiesa showed flashes of brilliance in Juventus’ 1-1 draw with Roma, which bodes well for Italy heading into Euro 2024, but can he become more consistent? And what of the talk of him going to Roma? With Euro 2024 fast approaching, we discuss our preferred Azzurri team formations and selections. One thing we all agree on is that Gianluca Scamacca is untouchable as Italy’s main striker for the tournament after a barnstorming end to the season with goals galore. We delve into the typically...

This was the week in which Inter clinched the Scudetto and made history by doing so for the first time in a Milan Derby clash, as they defeated their Milanese rivals 2-1. It was a spiteful match with three late red cards as things got heated before the final whistle. We discuss what's going on with Milan... Where was the fight? Should Pioli go?

It was a week of draws in Serie A but the football was secondary as the main focus of the week was the wellbeing of Roma’s Evan Ndicka, who collapsed on the pitch at Udinese with chest pain. Fortunately he is on the road to recovery. Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari keep on Cagliari-ing with yet another late comeback, this time at San Siro to earn a 2-2 draw against champions-elect Inter.

Mina Rzouki on a remarkable European night for Italian clubs in the Europa League quarter final 1st leg.

It was a memorable Rome derby for the sideshow drama, as Gianluca Mancini scored the winning goal and carried on with the curva sud in the afters, and Paulo Dybala reminded Matteo Guendouzi of their respective international exploits.

After some of us spent the Easter break consuming far too much chocolate, we ask is time up for Max Allegri at Juventus or is there a case for keeping him at the club beyond this season? (Note: We recorded this episode just hours before Juventus' win over Lazio in the Coppa Italia semi final 1st leg). Could Thiago Motta be the right manager to take over at Juventus, or would he be unwilling to leave Bologna and giving up the chance to lead them on a Champions League campaign? An excellent start ...

Nicky Bandini was at The Amex Stadium to watch Brighton mount a fightback against Roma , but never much of a comeback (as well as some brilliant Brighton banner banter in the terraces), as Daniele De Rossi's side comfortably managed the second leg after demolishing De Zerbi's Brightonians in Rome last week in the Europa League Round of 16. Also a wrap-up of Atalanta and Milan going through; which teams will be in today's draw for the Europa League and Conference League quarter finals; and who is...
