We have a special guest this week as former Manchester United, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Australian goalkeeper Mark Bosnich joins us from Sydney to discuss the latest in Serie A and look at the Italian clubs in the Champions League. "Bozza" is a co-host of Stan Sports Australia's European competitions coverage. We find out from Mark how close he came to playing in Serie A, and for which club, as well as about his experience at Chelsea under much loved Italian manager Claudio Ranieri. Nicky asks if Mister Ranieri used his "dilly ding dilly dong" bell during Chelsea training!
Plus... It wouldn't be an episode without discussing the current crisis at Juventus who are now 16 points off the pace after consecutive losses against Sassuolo and Verona, while "Cholito" Simeone continues his recent run of unstoppable scoring thanks to some interesting inspiration.
The big match of Sunday night was Roma at home to Milan, with the rossoneri coming away with the result, leaving the human headline manager Jose Mourinho fuming at some refereeing decisions from the sidelines.
Elsewhere, Napoli wins the derby with Salernitana while Lazio and Atalanta played out an exciting 2-2 draw with some dubious happenings in the stands.
And Mina and Nicky discuss just how many horses are really in the race for this season's Serie A title now that both Milan and Napoli have pulled 7 points clear at the top of the table, and where does Inter Milan come into the equation?
