The Italian Football FanCast is the podcast for fans of Serie A and Calcio.

On this edition of the Italian Football FanCast, Dov Schiavone, along with deputy editor Sam Lewis and writer for SerieAWeekly.com Ryan Ross.

The issues tackled this week include, Juventus’ draw at home to Cagliari and the realisation that Leonardo Bonucci might not be the defender everyone hoped he would be.

We also gaze lovingly at Inter’s Javier Zanetti after he led his team to a superb victory over AC Milan in the Derby della Madonnina. The 38-year-old’s stunning performance ensured that Diego Milito’s second half strike was enough to give the Nerazzurri a deserved win.

However, with praise being heaped onto the shoulders of Claudio Ranieri’s men, questions need to be asked about a number of those wearing the Red and Black.

Meanwhile, Udinese suffered a shock defeat to Genoa and we look at the impact some of the new signings are having at the Marassi.

Finally we cast our eye over the plight of Fiorentina and Palermo, who are both slowly sinking to the depths of Serie A.

All this and a whole lot more will be answered in this weeks show, plus we speculate as to some of the upcoming January transfers from around the peninsula.

The issues tackled this week include, Inter’s amazing 5-0 win over Parma. Could this be the result that turns their season around? How much credit does Claudio Ranieri have to take and can they even make a charge for the Scudetto?

We also debate the return of The Don as Roberto Donadoni returns to management with the Gialloblu.

AC Milan travelled to Atalanta and came away with all three points thanks to another magnificent performance from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a man they are becoming increasingly reliant on.

Meanwhile, Juventus also kept up their unbeaten run with a victory at Lecce with Alessandro Matri scoring the only goal. But just how good is he?

Finally we look at Roma’s win over Chievo and as if Luis Enrique has made some progress following the winter break.

All this and a whole lot more will be answered in this weeks show, plus we discuss Alberto Gilardino’s move to Genoa and the reasons behind it.

We also debate AC Milan’s draw with Bologna and the potential defensive issues that are beginning to hound the Rossoneri.

Juventus travelled to Roma for the big clash of the weekend and with Luis Enrique’s makeshift side earning a credible draw with the league leaders, has the Spaniard earned a reprieve for the time being?

Meanwhile, Inter managed a victory at the San Siro against Fiorentina and with Giampaolo Pazzini grabbing only his second goal of the season, is talk of a revival premature?

Roma imploded against Fiorentina and questions are now being raised about his future in the Italian capital. Should he stay or should he go?

Meanwhile, Inter were also on the wrong end of a bad defeat against title challengers Udinese also raising questions over Claudio Ranieri’s future.

The issues tackled this week include, Juventus’ amazing comeback against Napoli at the San Paolo that leaves them as number one contenders for the Scudetto.

We also debate the pros and cons of Pato’s inclusion in the AC Milan side, whilst revelling in another Zlatan Ibrahimovic masterclass.

Roma were subject to another defeat, this time to Udinese, which brought out some grinta in Pablo Osvaldo, while we also look at the need for the Zebrette to strengthen in the January transfer window.

Meanwhile, Fiorentina continue to have life tough as they slip closer to the relegation zone. What does Delio Rossi need to do to resuscitate the Tuscan giants?

Finally we look at some of your opinions on the technology in football debate, as well as Inter’s seeming dependancy on their younger players.

The issues tackled this week include, Napoli’s magnificent win over Manchester City in the Champions League which leaves them on the brink of qualification for the knockout stages.

We also debate an Inter side that are slowly coming back to form after a home win against Cagliari, though they were helped by some fortunate refereeing decisions.

AC Milan continued their unbeaten run against Fiorentina, who, under new coach Delio Rossi, looked strikingly similar to the the side Sinisa Mihajlovic left and they were lucky to escape with a point as the Rossoneri were also the victims of a cruel refereeing blunder.

At the top of Serie A, Juventus sit proud after defeating Palermo at home and surely any doubts over the legitimacy of their Scudetto challenge can be extinguished? Or can they?

Finally we look at some of the refereeing decisions over the course of the weekend as Pablo Osvaldo found his magnificent overhead kick ruled out for offside, when in-fact he was not. So should it be about time the officials had some help?

All this and a whole lot more will be answered in this weeks show, plus we ask the eternal question… who was better DIno Zoff or Gianluigi Buffon?

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is back and produces a masterful performance against Vincenzo Montella’s Catania side at the San Siro, as AC Milan look ever ominous in the title race.

Lazio go joint top of Serie A but who is the catalyst for their recent success? Is it the manager Edy Reja or are some of the less well known faces at the Stadio Olimpico pulling their weight?

Meanwhile in Sicily, Devis Mangia’s Palermo continue to defy critics as they sit firmly in fifth place, even managing a win without a recognised striker on the field against Bologna.

All this and a whole lot more will be answered in this weeks show, plus we take a look at Cesare Prandelli’s latest Italy squad and discuss the glaring omission of Udinese striker Antonio Di Natale.

Plus, after a return to form for Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the Rossoneri the side to be feared in Serie A? And how much blame can be placed on Luis Enrique after the weekend defeat?

Also under the microscope was the miraculous form of Atalanta, who have defied the odds and six point deduction to shoot up the table, and Roma, who have blown hot and cold thus far this season.

Can Milan retain the Scudetto with a defence leakier than the Titanic?

Can Juve challenge the top three with an equally porous defence? Do they deserve it with an away kit as revolting as that?

Will Inter’s fortunes turn around after their win at Chievo?

What is Sam’s secret stat about Roma?

All this and a whole lot more will be answered in this weeks show, plus we assess the options for Alessandro Del Piero once his final season at Juventus is finished.
