Romans on the Rampage Find the Gladiator Within

With winners in every position, Mina and Nicky deservedly heap praise on a Roma side which is finally on the up after a topsy-turvy season to date. Could this win over Maurizio Sarri's hapless Lazio be the catalyst for a push for a top 4 place? As Paulo Dybala and Juventus look to part ways, we wonder if the bianconeri even need him in order to be the traditionally clinically ruthless team that doesn't thrill, but wins. And where is the willingness of Max Allegri to give the homegrown kids a go? What's happened to Inter and how dependent are they on Marcelo Brozović? Milan has a 50% chance of winning the scudetto from here, and we condemn the Cagliari fans who racially abused Fikayo Tomori and Mike Maignan in Sardinia, and Nicky gives us a preview of her recent discussion with Tomori for The Guardian. The story of Atalanta youth sensation Moustaphe Cisse who came off the bench to score the only goal of the match for Atalanta against Bologna. And we discuss Italy's chances of making it through the World Cup qualifying playoffs, with Thursday's match against North Macedonia in Palermo and possibly a final decider against either Portugal or Turkey. How confident are Nicky and Mina of Roberto Mancini's Azzurri making it to Qatar? Look out for a Patreon Chronicles Tifosi episode this week going in depth on Italian clubs' performances in Europe. A note for next week's podcast schedule: If Italy does not get past North Macedonia we'll be in your podcast feed as usual on Tuesday. If Italy does qualify for the final WCQ playoff round they will play on Tuesday evening (European time), so we will delay the pod to discuss that match, and then drop into your feed on Thursday. Chronicles Q&A will appear as usual on Friday both this week and next (no changed schedule)....
