How did a man from Northern Ireland end up in Italy? Todays guest is a football broadcaster based in Milan Italy.

Part 2 sees Richard and Scott discuss the current state of Italian football, Serie A’s strength, a chat about the less well-known teams and what the chances of Atalanta, Juventus and Inter are in Europe during August.
