Great episode, loved Michele's naked schadenfreude at the Tribuna. A friend is getting me a ticket for city game so may see there, as a Romanista United fan (mainly FC now) I'll still be firmly siding with the Partonopei

Napoli have really got these shirts right. Pretty rapid arrival from Italy, replica option is really high quality and is a normal fit, too. Design is beautiful and full of Neapolitan iconography when you look closely

🚨BREAKING: The last journalists working for AFP in Gaza have said they can no longer work for the news agency. They are out of energy and they are starving to death. I have never seen a statement from a news organisation like it. 🧵

Sans intervention immédiate, les derniers reporters de Gaza vont mourir
21 juillet 2025
L'AFP travaille avec une pigiste texte, trois photographes et six pigistes vidéo dans la Bande de Gaza depuis le départ de ses journalistes staff courant 2024.
Avec quelques autres, ils sont aujourd'hui les seuls à rapporter ce qu'il se passe dans la Bande de Gaza. La presse internationale est interdite d'entrer dans ce territoire depuis près de deux ans.
Nous refusons de les voir mourir.
L'un deux, Bashar, collabore pour l'AFP depuis 2010, d'abord comme fixeur, ensuite comme photographe pigiste, et depuis 2024 comme principal photographe.
Samedi 19 juillet, il est parvenu à poster un message sur Facebook: « Je n'ai plus la force de travailler pour les médias.
Mon corps est maigre et je ne peux plus travailler ».
Bashar, 30 ans, travaille et vit dans des conditions égales à celles de tous les Gazaouis, allant d'un camp de réfugiés à un autre camp au gré des bombardements israéliens. Depuis plus d'un an il vit dans le dénuement le plus total et travaille en prenant d'énormes risques pour sa vie. L'hygiène est pour lui un problème majeur, avec des périodes de maladies intestinales sévères.
Bashar vit depuis février dans les ruines de sa maison de Gaza City avec sa mère, ses quatre frères et sœurs et la famille d'un de ses frères. Leur maison est vide de tout aménagement et confort, à part quelques coussins. Dimanche matin, il a rapporté que son frère aîné était « tombé, à cause de la faim ».
Même si ces journalistes reçoivent un salaire mensuel de l'AFP, il n'y a rien à acheter ou alors à des prix totalement exorbitants. Le système bancaire a disparu, et ceux qui pratiquent le change entre les comptes bancaires en ligne et l'argent liquide prennent une commission de près de 40%.
L'AFP n'a plus la possibilité d'avoir un véhicule et encore moins de l'essence pour permettre à ses journalistes de se déplacer pour leurs reportages. Circuler en voiture équivaut de toutes les façons à pre…

Quite a few really bad career decisions in the mercato. Osimhen and Retegui among them. No point in discussing the merits of other leagues (money talks as ever) but worth emphasizing again, that the Italian top flight remains one of the best in the world. Tired of people talking down Serie A.

Heartening! Deserves the 🩵. Amidst euphoria of Naples for Scudetto #3 Fiorentina match I bought Kim’s FaceGame shirt in what it turned out was a v challenging size Medium. I think he left for Bayern literally the next day so gone before it turned up. Low moment though still worn (just!) with pride 🙌🏼

It’s been fun persuading a fair few English and Scottish folks to watch Serie A this season. The quality of coaching, drama at either ends of the table and general absurdity of the league has got them hooked - even if the days of Baggio and Vieri are long gone.

Bloody Genoa! Frustrating watch again. Conte's tactics, the defensive aberrations and general lack of urgency at times. Plenty to discuss on your podcast. McTominay great again though and Gilmour impressive. At least they didn't lose.

Conte has clearly focussed on the attacking shape this week. Napoli looking so much more dynamic up front with multiple players in the box for every attack. Smart approach with all the fixtures comings against sides in the bottom half. #NapoliGenoa
