We've got a heavyweight battle for you today in the MBA Arena as the absolute monarchy of the Luke Nation faces off against Clan Campbell.
The belt (or the crown in Luke's case) is back on the line, but will it change hands after today's bout? Marcus is the man in the middle attempting (and failing) to keep order.

Fri, 24 Oct 2025
Does Sean Dyche like an emoji? Is it acceptable to lose to a side from Cyprus? Can you blame the wind for Emi Buendia's penalty? Are Hearts on the verge? And why is Wanda Icardi sliding into the DMs of Premier League footballers?

Rodri Trotter

Tue, 21 Oct 2025

Mailbag: Can Bellingham, Palmer & Foden play together?

England had a lovely old time against Wales on Thursday. And they weren't half bad against Serbia in the game before that either! The catch? Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Phil Foden didn't play in either of those games.

A special way of Rambling
Mon, 13 Oct 2025
Before England head on their big stag do in Riga, there was the small matter of Scotland grinding out a glorious win over Belarus. So glorious that it left Steve Clarke incandescently angry.
Marcus, Pete, Vish and Jim bring you the most international break Ramble possible, featuring a further update about Katy Perry's dating life for Pete, some questionable Donald Trump impressions from Marcus, and what must surely be the first ever impression of former land mass Pangea.
Plus, back in Premier League land, Sean Dyche is getting linked to a club that's close to his heart, his house and Hooters. Crikey, mate.

Tue, 02 Sep 2025

Alexander Isak and Yoane Wissa have their heels well and truly dug into the ground, refusing to play for their clubs until they get a move away. But is it fair that it's now the players who hold the cards when it comes to deciding their futures, rather than the clubs who own their contract?
Marcus, Luke & Vish are here to share their thoughts on that. Plus, can the Big Dick stadium replace Goodison Park's atmosphere, and is it time to bring back two up top, if only to see a few more chests called into action?

It might be the second weekend of the Premier League season, but already Marcus has a revolutionary idea that surely every single fan can get behind.
He's joined by Pete, Vish and Jim to reflect on some detailed artwork at Selhurst Park and why exactly Nuno EspĂrito Santo is fanning the flames of his own sacking.
Plus, Thomas the Frank Engine is already up to full speed with yet another Spurs victory over Pep Guardiola (when will the bloke learn) and West Ham manage to tick every single box for a terrible first home game of the season. Yikes.

Fabrizio Ratmano
Sun, 10 Aug 2025
Liverpool took Crystal Palace to penalties. Vithushan Ehantharajah, aka the Football Rambleâs official Rat Correspondent, thinks that Liverpool will be pleased with the outcome.
Heâs joined by Marcus and Jim to look back on what was a âgood game, good gameâ - although it might have been even better if Dean Henderson swapped his cap for an Oasis bucket hat. Elsewhere, Jim finally tells us about the time he was bitten by a deer and Nathan Jones had a lovely time on his return to the Championship this weekend.

The Preview Show: Best of British
Fri, 08 Aug 2025
Crystal Palace are off to Wembley again! Is the promise of a first Community Shield victory for Palace enough to bring a bit of needle to Sundayâs curtain-raiser? Marcus, Jim and Vish certainly hope so as we gather for our annual preview of the community chest.
Elsewhere, we kick-start our campaign for Scott McTominay to win the Ballon dâOr and Arsenal have already given Jim reason to be depressed. Would anyone like to give him a hug?

Just ten more sleeps until the Premier League returns! But which top flight club has the most on the line this season?
Pete, Luke & Jim tuck into that, and also a speciality dish cooked up by a Premier League manager - but who would do it best? Plus, does Son Heung-min deserve a statue at Tottenham to go alongside one for Harry Kane?

Champagne Sonpernova
Mon, 04 Aug 2025
Only one place for Pete, Jim and Luke to start. Who had the better weekend: Luke and Jim screaming their heads off at Oasis, or Pete getting heartburn after excessive prosecco at a bottomless brunch? Answers on a postcard.
There is time for some football post-Oasis though, as Son Heung-min calls time on an esteemed Spurs career and Aaron Ramsdale helps to rearrange the deck chairs on the Tynetanic. Plus, Callum Wilson stops taking the piss out of West Ham long enough to sign for them and proper football returns! Russell Martinâs already having a proper moan about it.

Pure dung beetle
Fri, 01 Aug 2025
It's official: Alexander Isak has been labelled "a rat". But surely there needs to be a new animal for the Newcastle United fanbase? Pete, Luke and Jim Bernie Campbell are on the case...
The lads discuss Spurs winning the first North London derby outside the UK (with thanks to Frontier Pets) and Man United's new hire, who fittingly seems to be an FBI agent from a screwball comedy. Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney begins hatching a plan to bring down High Performance's Tom Brady. Mr. Brady, you ever heard of Walkabout?

Occamâs angle grinder
Wed, 30 Jul 2025
Man United have copied Newcastleâs homework and narrowed their striker options down to Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Ć eĆĄko. That means Pete, Luke and Jim have to confront the terrifying prospect that they might actually have a decent season, as unlikely as that still soundsâŠ
We also get an update on the terrible situations at Sheffield Wednesday and Morecambe, while David Moyes becomes the unlikely head of the Everton tourist board and JoĆĄko Gvardiolâs pre-season training involves wielding a semi-automatic in the Croatian woods. Plus, Erik ten Hag remains adamant that Granit Xhaka wonât leave Bayer Leverkusen - cue the Benny Hill theme #herewego.

Elsewhere, Arsenal finally complete the signing of Viktor Gyökeres, Pep turns down the India job (sort of) and Evangelos Marinakis convinces Morgan Gibbs-White to stay at Forest - presumably at gun point. Plus, rejoice: pre season tours are here! Shame nobody told the fans in the local area.

Elsewhere, in the loveliest of lovely old jobs, Jack Grealish has been linked with Napoli after someone drove him down the Amalfi Coast â it might be tenuous but we don't care.

Mr Donaldson takes class today with Luke and Jim for a lesson in the economics of Nicolas Jackson, sexy white water rafting with Fabian SchÀr, and Dudley's finest celebrities.

Gianni gets the keys out
Mon, 14 Jul 2025
Chelsea put in a mesmerising performance against PSG to claim the title of world champions - but thatâs not half the story, is it?
Join Marcus, Luke, Pete and Andy for a thorough breakdown of every madcap moment from the final of this foul jamboree, from Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino to Doja Cat wearing the new Crystal Palace shirt. Bear with us, thereâs a lot to get through.
Plus, the curse of modern football strikes again as Crystal Palace are demoted to the Conference League and Andy Carroll fronts a Qatari consortiumâs takeover of a non-league side. Yep, you read that correctly.

Luke's Game: Judas Footballers
Fri, 11 Jul 2025
It's a titanic clash this week: Marcus vs Brassell! And remember, for Andy Luke's Game is what the Turkish SĂŒper Lig was for Mauro Icardi. Andy and his beautiful wrists are ready to tear it up.
Can Marcus and his hairy chest do anything to stop him? The theme of today's game is Judas Footballers - players who have transferred to their fiercest rivals - so come join us and don't be going to listen to another football podcast, all right? ALL RIGHT!

First Mohammed Kudus signs⊠Now Morgan Gibbs-White?! Imagine what our Big Ange could have done with this spicy new Spurs line-up! RIP Ange u will live on.
Marcus, Andy and Pete check in with more transfer tidbits, including an outrageous Premier League return for Jordan Henderson and Noni Maduekeâs move across town. Elsewhere, John Textor continues to astound as he stumbles his way through a prolonged departure from Crystal Palace and the Club World Cup reaches its climax⊠Finally.Â

Chelsea are into the final of the Club World Cup! But JoĂŁo Pedro really is extremely sorry about it all.
Marcus, Luke and Andy react to Chelsea's march into the final, while FIFA's new office in Trump Tower brings us a very welcome reminder of the late, not-so-great Chuck Blazer.
Plus, we find football's most loyal player in the Champions League qualifiers (yep, they're happening) and ask, will Man United make the documentary that everyone wants to see?

Mailbag: How can we fix football club ownership?
Tue, 08 Jul 2025
With the continuing issues at Sheffield Wednesday brought on by owner Dejphon Chansiri, we kick off with a worrying chat about football club ownership and to what extent we can fix such a severe structural problem in English football.
Marcus and Luke also get David to reassure all the Sunderland fans listening by confirming that he thinks theyâll stay in the Premier League next season and a listener offers Marcus the chance to swap Italyâs results from the last ten years with Englandâs. Speaking of, an email caught our eye that argued for all international tournaments to be played in the winter - spicy stuff!

Weâre going to TĂŒrkiye
Wed, 02 Jul 2025
Alarming news coming out of Ramble HQ: Marcus has been in Gianniâs pocket the whole time. Turns out the biggest cheerleader for this foul jamboree has been right under our noses.
Heâs joined by Jim and Andy for more Club World Cup business as Man City were knocked out by everyoneâs favourite underdogs Al Hilal, while Real Madrid march on and Inter fall apart at the seams. Elsewhere, Robbie Savage gets a new gig, everyone else is off to TĂŒrkiye and Macclesfield had turned to the Rooneys for help⊠Just not the Rooney youâre thinking of.

Mailbag: What's the best way to watch football?
Tue, 01 Jul 2025
We're back with another Tuesday treat, answering all of your questions about the current cesspit which is world football. But since we still love it, how best to watch it?
Marcus, Luke & Jim choose between watching football in a stadium, at home, and in the pub. Plus, a performance from the Undertaker at the newly-suggested relegation play-offs.

Maybe you could go for a swim?
Mon, 30 Jun 2025
Marcus, Luke and Jim break out a good old fashioned Eaaaaazay after England U21s beat Germany and retained their Euros crown. We wonder which of the squad could push for a senior call-up and ask who Thomas Tuchel was REALLY supportingâŠ
Elsewhere, it turns out Jurgen Klopp isnât a fan of our beloved Club World Cup, but Kaveh Solhekol is here to remind him that he can go fishing instead. Or read a book. Or go outside. Plus, we wonder whatâs next for free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin and, after six months, the siege on Lazioâs prosthetic penis specialist comes to a disappointing end.

Sir Gareth Southgate, sir
Fri, 27 Jun 2025
That's a wrap on the group stages for the Club World Cup! Sadly, we're saying goodbye to the mighty Mamelodi Sundowns and River Plate, who oh so nearly gave us a proper brawl against Inter. Shame.
Marcus, Luke, Vish and Andy (fresh back from LA!) discuss that and just how f**cked Juventus players Weston McKennie and Timothy Weah are after slagging off Italian food. Plus, in the time it's taken you to read this, Cristiano Ronaldo has probably made a ÂŁ1m and been served a diamond encrusted steak by 15 different members of staff thanks to his new Al Nassr deal.

The really terrible tournament that we're enjoying and hate but also love goes on. And Gordon Bennett, Auckland City got a point against Boca bloody Juniors!
Marcus, Jim and Pete celebrate a huge result for trainee school teachers everywhere. We also examine Atletico Madrid's promise of a supporter's club in space and Pete suggests building a Ramble Club in the dirtiest part of the solar system.
Plus, some lovely whispers about Aaron Ramsdale's next move and there's controversy in the Veterans Bundesliga...

Mailbag: Could the Club World Cup work one day?
Tue, 24 Jun 2025
A tournament straight from the mind of Gianni Infantino is (predictably) a bit of a mess â but is the Club World Cup a totally lost cause, or is there a version of it that might actually work?

European Mulch
Mon, 23 Jun 2025
The Brazilian sides cannot be stopped at this Club World Cup thing. Flamengo dispatched Chelsea (while Nicolas Jackson dispatched himself) and who knows what a completely commando Alex Barboza will do next?
Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete analyse the weekend's action and sadly wave goodbye to Ulsan Ultra 4k and those brave boys from Auckland City. If only Pete could get his hands on some kind of commemorative plate to remember them by. Or an oil painting to go up in his local school? Either will do.
Plus, Southgate gets rejected by Poland (slugs) and Santi Cazorla continues to restore our faith in football!

These long summer days. Theyâre just made for throwing a ball in the backyard with, say, I donât know... Brad Friedel, arenât they?
Marcus, Luke and Pete havenât left the studio since Wednesday and itâs just been wall-to-wall Club World Cup throughout: Botafogo beat PSG, Al-Hilal drew with Real Madrid and targeted Trent Alexander-Arnold, and... what?

We will Ramble you
Wed, 18 Jun 2025
The Club World Cup might not be quite tickling our fancy at the moment, but it has meant a new Pitbull song. Itâs a remix. And it might have been made in 10 minutes. Whatâs not to love?
But before you stick that on, get a load of Marcus, Luke and Pete, who celebrate Sergio Ramosâ glorious header, Boca Juniors' incredible fans and Fluminenseâs 44-year-old keeper (guys, itâs a âslightly wee your trousersâ summer).
Plus, Marcus makes the mistake of asking Pete: what would you do to Pep Guardiola in a lucid dream? Oh no...

Mailbag: Who can - and should - actually host a World Cup?
Tue, 17 Jun 2025
With increasing scrutiny placed on the likes of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and even the United States, we wonder which countries could viably host a World Cup without any of the political or social controversies that have marred recent editions. Is that even possible?
Marcus, Jim and Vish also return to our âdefining figures of the decadeâ discourse, turning our attentions to managers this time. Plus: our favourite commentary teams, goalkeepers playing outfield and Premier League managers joining the Ramble!

I just love the culture
Mon, 16 Jun 2025
Never mind freed from desire, can we be freed from... this?
The Club World Cup is underway and Marcus, Jim and Vish are here to give it the serious, sage analysis it deserves. Like, did iShowSpeed really tell Sergio AgĂŒero how to do a crossbar challenge?
The conditions have obviously already us worried about England next summer, but the goals (and the Can Can music) were flowing for Bayern Munich against unfortunate underdogs Auckland City. Plus, in chaotic developments that we can definitely get behind, Gennaro Gattuso is the new manager of Italy! But will it be rarely good, mostly s**t?

Mailbag: Which players will define this decade?
Sat, 14 Jun 2025
Zidane and Ronaldo in the 2000s. Messi and Ronaldo in the 2010s. But whoâs going to define this decade of world football? Marcus, Jim and Andy run through the contenders, from Kylian Mbappe and Lamine Yamal to future four-time Champions League winner Scott McTominay.
We also have a cracking discussion about who could succeed Harry Kane as England captain. Has Declan Rice emerged as the favourite? And does Jude Bellinghamâs fiery character hurt his chances? Elsewhere, which manager will turn perceptions around next year and whatâs the best signature celebration in football history? Apart from Speller at Old Trafford, obviously.

Fri, 13 Jun 2025
18 years of this daft little podcast. All of it - every last episode - has been for this day to arrive: the fully-formed, gloriously-conceived FIFA Club World Cup!
Marcus, Andy, Jim and Pete cast their eyes over the tournament and - shockingly - Pete declares that he's excited. Chris Martin has 'fixed' him, to be fair.
Plus, el grande rato speaks Spanish and looks at a trophy at his Real Madrid unveiling, while Santi Cazorla wins our hearts and minds and there's concern about the orientation of new Spurs manager Thomas Frank's eyes. Join us!

Is it panic stations yet?
Wed, 11 Jun 2025
Turns out Thomas Tuchel is the bravest boy of all. A 4-4-2 tribute act, even when it doesnât suit this team or opposition? RULE BRITANNIA!
Seriously though, what on Earth was that? Marcus, Jim and Vish try to work out what Tuchelâs plan is after a humbling defeat to an excellent Senegal side, as several England players did themselves no favours. Plus, Crystal Palace and Lyon play out the final scene from Reservoir Dogs, thereâs transfers aplenty in Manchester and we somehow find ourselves in the pocket of Big Tuna.

A POISONING YOU SAY?
Tue, 10 Jun 2025
We all remember Jesse Marsch looking a little out of his depth while guiding Leeds United towards Premier League relegation. Well, it seems you can't keep a good man down. Now manager of Canada, he's made some extraordinary suggestions about a potential poisoning of his players.
But before that, Marcus, Jim, Pete & Vish discuss Spurs' sacking of Ange Postecoglou with Thomas Frank set to replace him. Poor Alfie Whiteman's had to hand over his big screen. Plus, an England vs Senegal preview!

Have you got a book about disasters
Mon, 09 Jun 2025
Portugal have lifted the Nations League once more! Bobby MartĂnez's boys edged it on penalties in a fighting performance that well and truly puts them in the mix for next summer.
Marcus, Vish, Pete and Jim react to that â and England's definitely convincing not at all worrying 1-0 win over Andorra. Elsewhere, it was Slicker by name, not by nature, for Scotland in their 3-1 defeat to Iceland â but on the upside, at least they haven't got David Raya between the sticks. Plus, Jim reveals what he really thinks about Robbie Williams and Pete really wants to visit a poisonous garden.Â

Mailbag: Who's gone under the radar this season?
Sat, 07 Jun 2025
Not everyone can be a headline grabber. While the usual suspects have lapped up the plaudits, some have been quietly brilliant in the background â so how about we put them in the Ramble sun?
Marcus, Andy & Vish offer up their unsung heroes! Plus, could Chelsea emerge as the 'little horse' for the Premier League title next season? And if we could switch any result in football history, what would we pick? A bit of extra time in this year's Europa League final anyone? Nope, thought not...

The Preview Show: Gothball
Fri, 06 Jun 2025
Vindication â at last â for Marcus Speller and the Nations League! Spain and France had a nine-goal punch-up last night and what can only be described as an incredibly post-season number of shots (40).
Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish discuss the game and turn their eyes to England's meeting with Andorra tomorrow, who â incidentally â are perhaps the only team in world football who might miss out on qualifying for next summer's 6-week long World Cup (more on that). We also hear about Gianni Infantino using himself as a number nine and narrow down the exact definition of Russell Martin's 'gothball'.

Ramble Reacts: Portugal deliver more German heartbreak
Wed, 04 Jun 2025
It was another defeat on home soil for Germany and their moustachioed detective Julian Nagelsmann. This time, in the biggest competition of all...
Marcus and Luke jump on the mics after a thrilling (well, at least for one man) start to the finals of the Nations League which featured some inspired Bobby Martinez substitutions and what can only be described as a confusingly functional Cristiano Ronaldo up top. Come join us!

Marcus, Vish, Pete and INTERPOL's most-wanted Jim Campbell discuss Crystal Palace's UEFA dilemma which might require them to just start an entirely new European trophy.
Meanwhile, Manchester City might have just signed the next Ä°lkay GĂŒndoÄan as their retail therapy continues â but there's also huge news for their red neighbours. Plus, the Nations League returns tonight! We're all excited for that, aren't we? AREN'T WE?!

Well, er, we got that wrong
Mon, 02 Jun 2025
Low-scoring Inter win, was it? ⊠Wait, what?
Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete recap a truly glorious PSG performance that was basically the emotional equivalent of watching your dad getting beaten up by a runaway freight train. But the performance of the night? Clive Tyldesley seamlessly shepherding IShowSpeed into touch. Class is permanent.
After this elaborate warm-up act, we unveil your definitive guide to the biggest prize in sport: the FIFA Club World Cup aka The Gianni Infantino Invitational. Nonsensical qualifying criteria, clumsy financial meddling and boldfaced cronyism: itâs all here! Plus, we get a seismic Carabao update and Oldham Athletic win a chaotic National League play-off final!

Sat, 31 May 2025
All is not well in the Manchester United camp and now Bruno Fernandes could be on his way out of the club. Could they really be sliding towards a proper relegation battle next season?

The Preview Show: A glorious golden bonce
Fri, 30 May 2025
It's time for Inter's chiselled old warriors to do battle with PSG's whippersnappers. But first of all everyone, here's Linkin Park with "the sights and sounds of the Champions League"! Oh joy.
Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy give their music opinions and some football opinions ahead of the Champions League final â plus there's more reflections on Chelsea's Conference League win, respect for Chris Wood's Official Ramble trophy, and the news that Bruno Fernandes wants to leave Manchester United. That Asia tour isn't going too well either...

Ramble Reacts: Chelsea best Betis to win the Conference League
Wed, 28 May 2025
It was all going so well for Manuel Pellegrini and his band of merry former Premier League men. Isco was stroking the ball around midfield. Chelsea's youngsters were charging around to no avail. And Alan Pardew was shaking his fist at his telly.
But then Cole Palmer decided that was enough. Pete and Andy look back on Chelsea's Europa Conference League triumph, which featured a Palmer masterclass, the heaviest touch you will ever see, and an extraordinary haircut which Pete will be copying for the next Ramble Live tour. Come join us!

Believe in Letter
Wed, 28 May 2025
The Prem might be over, but Aston Villa are not letting up in their pursuit of justice following the howler referee Thomas Bramall made against Morgan Rogers at the weekend.
Luke tells Marcus, Jim & Pete why he would have given the game to a more experienced referee (ahem David Coote) while Pete compares Manchester United to a vacuum box.
And we get an update from Gianni Infantino in... IShowSpeed's bedroom? Nothing weird about that.

Itâs that time of the season again, ladies and gents! The one where we dig out the predictions we made back in August and find out just how little actually played out the way we thought it would.

An orgy of boo boys
Mon, 26 May 2025
Goodbye 2024/25 Premier League, it was real. Hello Manchester United post-season tour in Malaysia!
Marcus, Luke, Pete and Vish look back on the final day, which had lots of permutations but - for Aston Villa - ended up being decided by two quite simple things: Emi Martinez losing his mind and the referee losing his, too.
Elsewhere, Nuno Espirito Santo will face the wrath of Marinakis as Nottingham Forest miss out on the Champions League and there's an emotional farewell for Trent Alexander-Arnold at Anfield after JĂŒrgen Klopp spanks the boo boys. Plus, Spurs' confusing season has a fittingly confusing end! But you can shut it, alright mate?

Mailbag: Have Spurs had a better season than Arsenal?
Sat, 24 May 2025
Tottenham have only gone and done it! 17 years later, thereâs a new addition to the trophy cabinet. Meanwhile, Arsenal are patting themselves on the back for finishing as runners-up in the Premier League and giving the Champions League a proper run. But whoâs really had the better season?
Marcus, Luke & Jim wade into that diplomatic minefield - plus, was Thomas Tuchel right to recall the Saudi Pro Leagueâs very own Ivan Toney to the England squad?

We do find time to preview the race for European places, with so many permutations itâs like a scene from the third Matrix film. Plus we look ahead to the biggest game in English football and Ivan Toneyâs back in the England squad. Wait, what?!

Tottenham Hotspur have won the Europa League. Yep, you read that right. And don't say Ange Postecoglou didn't tell ya!

Is Ian Rush walking alone?
Wed, 21 May 2025
Marcus, Jim, Andy and Pete look ahead to a truly seismic Europa League final between Man United and Spurs, which boils down to two bald men fighting to the death over a ÂŁ100m comb.
Before that though, weâve got a couple of last nightâs victory laps from Kevin De Bruyne and Crystal Palace to pore over - it seems Omar Marmoush has gladly took up the âsmash bangers in from thirty yardsâ mantle. Plus, Ian Rushâs new AI musical about his legal troubles means Pete has *finally* had enough of the internet. God help us all.

The Preview Show: No Palace, no party
Fri, 16 May 2025
Can Crystal Palace cap off their impressive season with a historic cup win? Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete wonder if the stars may just be aligning for Glasnerâs Gang. Plus, can Pep Guardiola resist the urge to deploy some mad cup final tactics and play Kevin de Bruyne at left-back? Or will the lawyers pitch up on the Wembley touchline and deliver the verdict on those 115 charges two minutes before kick-off?
There are some Premier League games worth a glance, too - Everton will play their final menâs game at the iconic Goodison Park and Chelsea will hope to cash in their Man United voucher tonight. Oh, and we try to help John Carver get above a serial killer in the Google rankings after an impressive few months in Poland. Just part of the public service we provide.

We also celebrate the best collab weâve seen in modern football: Brazil x Carlo Ancelotti - but why now? And will he be a success?

Seven Years of Gear
Mon, 12 May 2025
Weâre in Glasgow! Marcus, Jim, Vish and Pete retreat to their man cave to discuss one of the busiest football weekends weâve had in quite a while - but not before we rate some of Newcastleâs legendary nightlife spots from our weekend jolly.
It turns out we werenât the only show in town this weekend after Newcastle pushed Chelsea aside, and Arsenal were spurred on by Trent Alexander-Arnold getting booed at Anfield. Turns out you can indeed walk alone.
Plus, we get through an array of bicycle kicks, from the heights of MLS to a listener concussing himself and breaking a few ribs in his back garden.

Mailbag: Do we need to tweak the European competitions?
Sat, 10 May 2025
Marcus, Luke and Andy wave Tottenham and Man United into the Europa League final with a simple question: does the fact that one of these basket cases will qualify for the Champions League make a mockery of the Europa League? And what needs to be done to address the imbalance in the Conference League? Â
Elsewhere, we explore the unique reasons behind players becoming club legends and after a certain humdinger earlier this week, we try to work out the ingredients for a perfect game of football. Plus, could Nottingham Forestâs unique brand of football suit them in a potential European campaign?Â

The Preview Show: A Full English Final
Fri, 09 May 2025
Well, would you look at that - Gareth Southgateâs version of Manchester United made it to the Europa League final, where theyâll face Angeâs boys after their own unusually composed performance.
Marcus, Vish, Jim and Pete pick through that confusing conclusion and look ahead to some spicy weekend action on todayâs blockbuster Preview Show!

Ramble Reacts: Arsenalâs European quest ends in Paris
Wed, 07 May 2025
Marcus and Luke bid farewell to Arsenalâs Champions League challenge after a game that summed up their entire season: impressive and eye-catching in places, but missing that final... oomph.Â
Speaking of oomph, the lads praise a deadly PSG performance and wonder if theyâll finally reach the top of their mountain, 13 years after they begun the climb. Just Inter to overcome now, ladsâŠÂ

It doesnât get better than that
Wed, 07 May 2025
My giddy aunt, that was quite the spectacle last night. A thirteen-goal thriller across the two legs?! Thatâs what football do to ya.
Marcus, Luke, Andy & Vish are here to ponder on what might be the greatest two-legged game in football history. Plus, Luke explains why it's okay for Trent Alexander-Arnold to want a move to a bigger rat ball, Andy offers a 90s reference that even catches Marcus out, and we look ahead to Arsenalâs date with destiny.

Ramble Reacts: Nottingham Forest stop the rot against Crystal Palace
Mon, 05 May 2025
Pete stops burning his Trent Alexander-Arnold shirt long enough to join Andy and recap a weird stalemate between Nottingham Forestâs mildly stoppable force and Crystal Palace largely movable object.
They do find time to enjoy more sparkling Eberechi Eze form - even after he was seen moonlighting as a chess grandmaster over the weekend - and wonder where both he and Morgan Gibbs-White could end up this summer. In typical fashion for two talented English midfielders, it looks like one will need to stay while the other goes.Â

Return of Damac
Mon, 05 May 2025
Marcus, Luke and Pete jump into the studio after Arsenalâs latest wobble, which could condemn them to third place in what's been a two-horse Premier League title race. Never mind, PSG this week lads!Â
Elsewhere, Man United do another lol and can we attribute Cole Palmerâs great performance to Chelseaâs new relationship with a Dubai-based property developer? Their press release certainly says so. Plus, the Basildon Bond (Harry Kane) won his first trophy, the Championship played out a chaotic final day and Jamie Vardy kicked off his refereeing career in style.

Wed, 30 Apr 2025
Pete and Andy catch their breath after a truly unhinged Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Inter - and guess who was strutting his stuff in the middle of it all? Thatâs right, the dapper of royals himself, Lamine Yamal.
Andy explains why Yamal is better than Messi was at 17, but also why he both loves and questions Hansi Flickâs kamikaze tactics. Plus, after UEFAâs Instagram gets hacked, Pete gets all nostalgic for hackers in the noughties. Come join us!

Half and half bacon
Wed, 30 Apr 2025
Did you see that first 20 minutes from PSG last night? Bloody Nora. Marcus, Luke, Vish and Jim - fresh from the Emirates - react to PSG's dominant display against Arsenal and their tiny but somehow unstoppable midfield. Can Arsenal turn things around? Not with tifos like that, they can't...
Elsewhere, Brazil press their big Carlo Ancelotti button who's primed and ready to join Fizzer in his Speedos on the Copacabana.
We also set fire to our reputation in Glasgow... but at least we'll have our new line of artisan Pope smoke bacon to keep us going. See you on May 12th, Glaswegian Ramblers!

Jim tells Marcus and Luke why he's expecting a very different game to their previous meeting in October.

Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete look back on Liverpoolâs incredible season and the surprisingly chill Dutchman at the heart of it all.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palaceâs remarkable display at Wembley gets us head-clapping and Man City fans show their lawyers how to do the poznan. Plus, Real Madrid have been Galactico w***ers again.

With Jamie Vardy's exit confirmed, there's only one question on Marcus, Luke and Pete's lips today... what's next for his lookalike?
It's FA Cup semi-final weekend! The lads look ahead to two huge showdowns at Wembley. But there's also plenty of excitement (and excrement) down in non-league. Just listen and it'll all make sense...

Wed, 23 Apr 2025
Hold your horses Liverpool fans, this title fight is still on! You've got to go back to Anfield and get something. And I tell you what, they only need a point against Spurs...
Jean-Philippe Mateta's late equaliser wasn't quite enough to secure the Reds the title today, but Vish tells Pete why he thinks it'll give them great confidence heading into their FA Cup semi at the weekend.
Elsewhere, Vish explains why Raheem Sterling needs a move to Syria and Pete starts thinking about Lee Dixon's penis.

Jonjo's back
Wed, 23 Apr 2025
Manchester City, eh? Theyâve got themselves back on the straight and narrow with three wins on the bounce, including a big one last night against Aston Villa. Marcus, Luke and Andy are here to react to that and some important news about the Premier League's Danny Glover.
Elsewhere, after Jamie Vardy's candid, Red Bull-fuelled tirade on social media, Luke tells Marcus and Andy why Ruud van Nistelrooy needs to bear a fair share of the responsibility for Leicester City's dire season. Plus, the Serie A title race might go down to a play-off! And presumably Antonio Conte is fuming about it...

Ramble Reacts: Nottingham Forest return to third!
Mon, 21 Apr 2025
The pressure was on for Nuno's men. They'd lost their last two games. They were down in seventh. Nuno himself (probably) had a crafty cig outside the stadium before kick-off. And yet they picked up a HUGE win at Spurs to return to third in the Premier League!
Marcus and Vish react to a big night in Nottingham Forest's unlikely hunt for Europe and Tottenham Hotspur's equally unlikely hunt for 17th place. The lads mark a special anniversary and there's also some love for Leeds and Burnley, who were officially promoted back to the Premier League today! Burnley also won a Serie A title and aroused Fabio Capello, but keep listening for more on that...

Fizzer the trailblazer
Mon, 21 Apr 2025
It was the full range of emotions in the Premier League this weekend: Leicester City fans reflected on their relegation, while Vish was able to savour Man Unitedâs survival.
He joins Marcus and Jim to marvel at a crushing Aston Villa display which keeps the race for the Champions League spots very interesting, while Fulham politely let Chelsea stay involved too.
Plus, Trent Alexander-Arnold did a classic shirt whip-off but weâre sad there wasnât a Real Madrid tattoo in sight.
And can Phil Neville make America great again? Come join us to find out!

Plus, Spurs turn sensible, Jacob Murphy makes his claim for a spot in Marcus Spellerâs heart, and Jurgen Klopp has been linked with Real Madrid?! I thought he wanted to relaxâŠ

Luke and Vish react to a comfortable night for Mikel Artetaâs men at the Bernabeu and explain why this is already his greatest achievement as a manager to date.
Plus, Declan Rice gets compared to a cricketer (and not by Vish, actually) and we wonder just how Real Madrid flopped so hard. For once, the house didnât winâŠ

Ohhh, Villa! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish recap one of the craziest European games youâll ever see, as Unai Emery almost Europa Leagueâd his way past PSG and into the Champions League semi-finals. But, the biggest shock of the night? Barcelonaâs shorts. No wonder they lost comprehensively at Dortmund (still went through, tho).

Ramble Reacts: Bournemouth push past Fulham in the Race For Eighth
Mon, 14 Apr 2025
Marcus and Jim had barely fired up the telly before Antoine Semenyoâs cracking opener gave Bournemouth an early lead. And⊠that was it.
There was still plenty to get stuck into though, with the Sky Sports microphones picking up plenty of fruity language from a few Fulham fans nearby and the officials making a truly baffling substitution error that forced Ryan Sessegnon off.
We also assess the prospective fortunes of both sides as they push for Europe and wonder where their coaches might be managing next season.Â

Ramble Reacts: What have we learned about Thomas Tuchelâs England?
Tue, 25 Mar 2025
Thomas Tuchelâs first international break as England manager is over. Heâs given us two âprofessionalâ wins against inferior opposition and some chat about maybe playing 4-4-2. Have we fully indoctrinated him into the English way already?
Marcus and Jim resist starting a chorus of Vindaloo, however, they do mull over that and try to work out what weâve learned about Tuchelâs England so far.Â

Mailbag: Can England afford to play exciting football?
Sat, 22 Mar 2025
Thomas Tuchel had a dig at Gareth Southgate, claiming England played with no identity last summer, more focused on avoiding elimination than chasing glory. Ouch.
But is it even possible to play "exciting" football at international level? Marcus, Jim & Pete debate that on this week's Mailbag.
Plus, does Jim Ratcliffe have a point when he talks about prioritising Manchester United's "faithful" supporters?

Ramble Reacts: A satisfying win for Newcastle
Mon, 10 Mar 2025

Mind the canal

Elsewhere, Morgan Gibbs-White proves he is the true heir to Jonjo Shelveyâs throne and we get a surprising update on Nottingham Forest legend Frank Clark. Plus, we learn what Marcusâ keys to the weekend are really forâŠ

Mailbag: Is there a crisis of respect towards referees in football?
Sat, 08 Mar 2025
Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca has landed himself a hefty nine-month ban for squaring up to a referee. Not the smartest move, Pauloâbut does it point to a wider crisis of respect in modern football?
Marcus, Luke & Jim dive into that debate, plus they assess whether Alisson is currently the best goalkeeper in the world, and settle the all-important question: which former England manager would be the best company on a night out?

Is the glass full yet?
Wed, 05 Mar 2025
Arsenal scored SEVEN goals away to PSV. Maybe Josh Kroenkeâaka "the heir to the Walmart family inheritance"âąâshould come and put a rocket up Arsenal more often.
Today, Marcus, Andy, and Pete take a moment to enjoy Aston Villa and Tyrone Mings getting revenge on Club Brugge. Plus, Pete gets rather excited for tonightâs meaty clash between Liverpool and PSG. Oh, we also work out how we're going to defeat the robots when they try to take over the world.

Elsewhere, Marcus, Luke & Vish react to the fresh demands from Daniel Levy and his marketing staff who wish for their club to be referred to as 'Tottenham Hotspur' or simply 'Spurs', NOT 'Tottenham'.

Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete catch their breath after a chaotic night of European football which saw Bayern get past a spirited Celtic without even using Eric Dier or Vincent Kompanyâs studded cowboy boots.
We also recap head loss deluxe across the rest of Europe, with awful diving and embarrassing tantrums aplenty. Elsewhere, a Liverpool fan opens the scoring at Evertonâs new home - classic Everton - and we join Neymarâs campaign to ban artificial pitches. Plus, in disgraceful news, the FA has agreed to let Thomas Tuchel work from home. IN GERMANY. The game has definitively gone.

The Martyr of Lazio
Tue, 18 Feb 2025
Right, before we get onto another Juan Bernabe update, things really are starting to heat up in the battle for the Premier Leagueâs European places.
From third down to seventh, it could be anyoneâs game - so who do Marcus, Luke & Pete think are going to snatch those coveted four (maybe five) places come the end of the season?
But yes, Bernabe is back in the headlines once again. This time heâs said he plans to take Lazio president Claudio Lotito to court...

Sir, a second Man United email has been leaked
Mon, 17 Feb 2025
Marcus, Luke and Pete dust themselves down and go again after Spurs and Man United played out a disappointing damp squib. Even the managersâ meagre war of words did little to tickle our fancyâŠ
To be fair, the rest of the Premier League weekend did throw up some interesting stories as Newcastle graciously got battered by Man City once again and Fulham grabbed their first home win of 2025 with #FULFORCE. Plus, Arsenal have managed to solve their striker problem: just stick anyone up there.

Mailbag: Should football ban over-celebrating?
Sat, 15 Feb 2025
After the simply marvellous scenes at Goodison Park this week, some fun sponges had the audacity to say that the Everton players and fans went 'too far' with their celebrations.
Now, it's not the first time we've heard that in recent times. Myles Lewis-Skelly ruffled a few feathers after copying Erling Haaland's celebration, and Paul Scholes called Neal Maupay an "idiot" for copying James Maddison's darts celebration.
Marcus, Luke & Vish have their say on that, plus we find out their choice of Mario Kart characters.
It's not one to miss.

Ramble Reacts: My giddy aunt, what a Merseyside derby
Wed, 12 Feb 2025
Don't pretend you don't want to see it. Everton vs Liverpool ended in complete carnage and Marcus and Jim loved every single second.
Still giddy from all the excitement, we credit the Everton fans for celebrating with the appropriate level of vigour, while also being thankful that VAR didnât ruin it all. And despite all that, we still find time to credit Liverpool who now look unstoppable in the Premier League title race.

Sat, 01 Feb 2025
"It's who we are, mate." Sure, but can you not do anything else?

But if it fails once, then twice, and a few more times after that, why donât they change their approach?

Mailbag: Has Mikel Arteta underachieved at Arsenal?
Sat, 25 Jan 2025
There comes a point in every managerâs journey where the fans stop and say: âHave you taken us as far as you can?â Itâs been over five years since Mikel Arteta was appointed Arsenal manager and in that time theyâve won just one FA Cup (plus a couple of Community Shields, for whoever counts those).
Marcus, Luke & Jim discuss whether itâs got to the point where Arteta needs to bring a trophy back to the Emirates or risk being left behind.
Plus, could Sir Alex Ferguson do better with the current Manchester United squad? And what are our favourite football books?

Fri, 24 Jan 2025
Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete are here to welcome in the weekend after Man Unitedâs peculiar European adventures continued with a weird win over Rangers. Admittedly we do focus more on United's latest mix of baffling calamities, from smashed TVs and breaching PSR regulations to a âfull on mutinyâ in the squad. Oof.
Thereâs also plenty of Barclays to look ahead to, as Cole Palmer looks to boot Man City while theyâre down and weâve got a cracker at the Vitality where Bournemouth will host Nottingham Forest. Plus, we discover that a fumbled decision from Kevin Keegan changed the course of football history forever and thereâs ÂŁ1 up for grabs in a spicy exhibition round of Jackâs Encyclopaedia!

Marcus and Vish check in after Chelsea finally get a decent league win, with Trevoh Chalobahâs classy return to the Bridge proving very timely - even if Noni Madueke nicked his goal from inside a yard out. Poor, that.
They wonder if this represents a return to form for the Blues or if thereâs still a bit of the basket case about them. Plus, Wolvesâ insistence on just doing the fun stuff could prove fatal as their collection of spicy ballplayers canât seem to play it safe.

Sat, 18 Jan 2025
Hasn't it been lovely to see David Moyes back in the dugout at Goodison Park? But is it actually a good idea for a club to re-appoint a manager from years gone by?

Ramble Reacts: Arsenal take the spoils!
Thu, 16 Jan 2025
Luke and Andy jump on the mics after Arsenal made off with the three points in north London â partly thanks to Spursâ makeshift defence behaving very makeshift-y again and partly thanks to Gabrielâs magnetic bonce.
We wonder whether Arsenalâs Brazilian centre half is the best player in the league in both boxes and ask whether Mikel Artetaâs men are still convincing us at all. Poor old Kai Havertz certainly isnât. On the upside for Spurs, their keeper Antonin Kinsky provided us with one of the best pieces of skill of the seasonâŠ

Mailbag: Why have Fergusonâs players never become great managers?
Sat, 04 Jan 2025
After Wayne Rooneyâs dismissal this week, it means yet another of Sir Alex Fergusonâs greatest proteges has found the managerial hot seat far too hot. A listener asks Marcus, Luke and Vish why this keeps happening.
Plus, why have there suddenly been so many disruptors to the so-called âtop sixâ in recent years? Whatâs the point of pre-match press conferences? And for some reason, we imagine what Andy Gray would have sounded like cast as James Bond.

Marcus and Jim pick through the crumbling wreckage after Manchester United 0-2 Newcastle United, in a game that threatened to descend into one of the most embarrassing affairs Old Trafford might have ever seen.Â
We wonder what Ruben Amorim is playing at and decide Alexander Isak is the best footballer in the universe. Plus, the Tractor Boys pick up their first home win of the season, Aston Villa continue to struggle under the weight of the fixture list and a certain former England manager gets a knighthood - you know what that meansâŠ

Elsewhere, Pete reminds us that no idea is a bad idea - unless it is the Unify League of course - and one of Englandâs most significant Marcuses has made a huge announcement that is dominating all of todayâs headlines. But thatâs enough about Speller admitting that he doesnât like mustardâŠ

Mailbag: What's the point in supporting a mid-table club?

You are not entertained
Mon, 14 Oct 2024
Who's more confused, Lee Carsley or Pete Donaldson? A question which is in itself so confusing that we're really confused trying to answer it. All we know is that England won yesterday and Marcus, Luke, Vish and Pete are here to try and make sense of it all.
Elsewhere, Scotland didnât win at the weekend but there is a new pizza named after Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour, so that's a victory of sorts. But the real winner from the weekend is, of course, League One Manager of the Month Steve Bruce! You simply cannot keep a good man down.

Mailbag: How do we fix the international break?
Sat, 12 Oct 2024
It's the bloomin' weekend and luckily for you, it's full of Nations League excitement. Seriously though, the whole football calendar is an absolute mess.
Marcus, Luke and Vish embark on the challenge of trying to fix the window, whilst also asking whether fans actually prefer boring football.
Oh, and listener Charlie has a wedding conundrum that we're called into action for advice on.

The Preview Show: A confusing broth
Fri, 11 Oct 2024
Lee Carsley experimented with starting all the cooks for England and what transpired was one confusing broth. Today, Luke tells Marcus and Vish why England need a manager that is brave enough to drop some of Englandâs more talented players.
Elsewhere, we celebrate Marcello Lippiâs birthday and is Ole Gunnar Solskjaer positioning himself to have another shot at the Man United job? We bloody hope soâŠ

Manchester City laid the smallest of gloves on the Premier League this week. But what does it all mean? Today, Marcus and Andy crossover to our official legal reporter Pete Donaldson for some fascinating insight into this new development.
Elsewhere, Jurgen Klopp has somehow found the energy for a new job - a case of Red Bull will do that for you - and Andy explains the real reason why Man United appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as Erik ten Hagâs assistant. Plus, Fizzerâs boys are on the march!

Introducing: The English Disease
Wed, 09 Oct 2024
This is a podcast we think youâre going to love. Our friends at Stak have made a unique six-part documentary about hooliganism in English football.
For decades, it dominated headlines, merging the two things England loves most: football and fear. But football hooliganism didnât disappear.Â
This series digs deeper â beyond the tabloid articles, beyond the stereotypes â to understand what first attracts people to this subculture and why itâs forced its way back into our society in 2024.
Today, youâll hear Episode 1: Kicking Off. Subscribe at https://lnk.to/englishdisease or search 'The English Disease' to listen to Episode 2 and 3 right now. New episodes drop every Tuesday throughout October.
Extraordinary sporting stories that really matter. From Stak, this is Legacy.

Timmy ten Hag
Tue, 08 Oct 2024
Well, it looks like Erik Ten Hag has bought himself a bit of time following one of the dullest games the Premier League has ever seen. In other words, exactly what the big man needed.
But in better news for the Dutchman, Ten Hag wasn't the biggest bald fraud at Villa Park on Sunday. Nope, that honour would go to his ballboy doppelgÀnger who we're calling Timmy (what's a grown man doing in that role anyway?).
Marcus, Jim and Pete are here to dissect all the rest of the Premier League action before the real football starts this week. Bring on that international break!

After the Emirates began to empty out despite Arsenalâs 2-0 lead over PSG, should fans who leave early be called out for their disloyalty? Or should we all just stop whining about it? Luke, Andy, and Vish tackle one of footballâs big taboos.
Elsewhere, with the old guard of managers almost completely gone (just you left now, Dychey), have managerial mind games become a thing of the past?
Plus, why are more players returning to their old clubs and what are our favourite football noises? No, Gary Nevilleâs orgasm doesnât count...

Mike Sheep
Wed, 02 Oct 2024
Arsenal could only manage a 2-0 win at home to PSG. Pathetic. Today, Pete, Vish and Jim (mainly Pete) are here to question why Arsenal werenât able to despatch this new woke incarnation of PSG by at least four goals, like the mighty Newcastle did last season.
Elsewhere, Pete questions whether everyone in the world named Nuri Ćahin is extremely handsome. Plus, Charlie Kane appears to have been sourcing some new brand deals for Harry. You canât keep a good man downâŠ

Mon, 30 Sep 2024
Bournemouth beat Southampton 3-1, which means Southampton are still languishing near the bottom of the table. Just how Luke likes itâŠ
Today, he and Jim take a look at Southampton and question how much time Russell Martin has left in the job. Graham Potter loitering in the Sky studio like a vulture probably isn't helping. Speaking of which, Luke explains which Sky presenter is a âpoor manâs Gary Cotterillâ. A damning comparison!

Time for a Tuesday tickle! Marcus, Vish and Jim discuss Aston Villaâs breakneck start to the season and Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins turning into a quality big man, bigger man partnership.

A proper Barclays bash

We also whip round the rest of what proved to be a cracking Premier League weekend as Luis Diaz brought the fireworks, West Ham continue to welcome opponents in with open arms and the calls for Danny Welbeck to get a surprise England call-up grow ever louder. From one chair in particularâŠÂ

Sat, 21 Sep 2024
A listener gets in touch asking how Rodri can possibly complain about too many games when he signed a new Man City contract after the new Champions League format was announced. Marcus, Luke and Andy discuss the idea that players should take matters into their own hands and begin rejecting new contracts if theyâre really serious about the tough schedule.
Elsewhere, players that never played in the Prem who wouldâve been perfect for the league â and which bald Premier League mangers would best suit their own player's hair? Light and shade people, light and shadeâŠ

Ramble Reacts: You chicken nugget
Wed, 18 Sep 2024
Could players really go on strike? And just how much will certain journalists at certain newspapers lose their nut if they do?
Night two of three in the first week of the Champions League was overshadowed by Rodriâs comments that a strike might soon be the only option. Marcus and Luke discuss that and remember the time that former Pompey man Jon Gittens called the ref a chicken nugget.
Thereâs also time to check in on Spurs, who narrowly escaped a massive upset in the Carabao Cup â but Luke thinks Big Ange will still be celebrating Christmas back in MelbourneâŠ

Stars and Stripes and Lemons
Thu, 12 Sep 2024
Marcus, Luke and Jim are back together, all happy in one friendly sack.
But you know who isnât in one friendly sack? Chelseaâs owners. Amidst reports of a big falling out between Todd and that Clearlake lot, we speculate what kind of stadium will be built by two owners who refuse to acknowledge each otherâs presence. Sounds promising, after all.
Before that, we field some of your questions about Lee Carsley, Harry Kane (but not his golden Sketchers), and an unhappy Eddie Howe. Plus, Mauricio Pochettino puts pen to paper and moves to the land of the lemons. How will he got on in the US of A?

The short kingdom
Wed, 11 Sep 2024
Harry Kane celebrated his 100th England cap last night by wearing a pair of golden Skechers. Charlie Kane must be really proud of himself for organising that one.
Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete are here to reflect on Englandâs win last night and also quieten some of the hype surrounding future World Cup winner Angel Gomes. Elsewhere, Craig Bellamy has his summer jacket destroyed by some extraordinary rain. However, Bellamy is still happy, unlike Kevin De Bruyne and Emiliano MartĂnez who both enjoyed a strop while on international duty this week.

Koeman vs Bergwijn, Gordon Ramsay vs Jeremy Clarkson and â the derby of Europe â England vs Finland. Marcus, Luke and Jim are back to talk about all the biggest clashes you can possibly think of.
We decide whoâs right, whoâs wrong, and whoâs got their balls out in the continuing standoff between Ronald Koeman and former Spurs man, Steven Bergwijn.
Plus, the president of a club in Italy makes a dramatic contribution from a helicopter. But by the way⊠can I have a piece of that egg? And we're not talking about Lee Carsley.

Mailbag: How do England move on from Southgate?

Can I bring my wee mate?
Tue, 03 Sep 2024
Everyone wants to bring a wee mate with them on deadline day, right? This year, the end of the window actually threw up some fascinating storylines for some big names, including Jadon Sancho switching one frying pan for another, slightly less hot frying pan.
Marcus, Luke and Jim catch up with the best of the headlines. We discuss Raheem Sterling (and soon Harry Kaneâs) move to Eng- I mean Arsenal. We also assess whether Sancho can reignite his career and whether Ivan Toney has killed his off once and for all after moving to Saudi Arabia. Plus - shockingly - someone actually, willingly signed Neal Maupay. Who knew?

Farewell, Sven
Tue, 27 Aug 2024
We kick off todayâs raving Ramble with the most important question to emerge from the opening rounds of the Premier League: is Lars Sivertsenâs Dad a better golfer than Kim Jong Un?
We do find time to round up the rest of the weekendâs action, as the leagueâs newcomers are already struggling and Man City continue to meet their scarcely believable standards. Plus, Marcus delivers his verdict on Oasisâ reunion and we spot a wild Wayne Rooney having the strangest of all the solo pintsâŠ
FYI, we recorded this episode before news broke of the sad passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson - so we jumped back in the studio to say a few words about one of our favourite football men. And if you want to listen to our interview we recorded with Sven back in 2020, click here.

The new season's underway, so it's time to tackle some more questions about our dear old Barclays!

Itâs happened, everybody: a player younger than the Football Ramble has scored in a major tournament semi-final. Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy are here to marvel at Lamine Yamalâs performance, even if Marcus does end up comparing him to MacGyver.
Elsewhere, the Ramblers explain why this should be the end for Didier Deschamps and they ease the pressure on Garethâs Brave Boys ahead of tonightâs Dutch semi. In the words of Pitbull: donât stop the party.

Portugal thrash Slovenia⊠on pens
Tue, 02 Jul 2024
And it was enough to bring tears to (some peopleâs) eyes. Pete, Andy and Jim relive a dramatic night for Portugal which saw them escape calamity and Slovenia miss out on history. Meanwhile, weâre pretty sure Cristiano Ronaldo is still in the stadium smashing free kicks into the stands.
We discuss why Bobby Martinez should use Ronaldo sparingly in the next game. Plus, those French slugs bag another own goal to beat Belgium in the Fries Derby and Jude Bellingham faces questions from UEFAâs busy bodies.

On The Continent: What really went wrong for Italy?
Tue, 02 Jul 2024
This is a brilliant segment from our sister show â On The Continent â that we thought you had to hear. This week, Andy and Dotun were joined by Nicky Bandini to discuss Italyâs dramatic exit on Saturday and Nicky brilliantly explains how things went wrong â both on the pitch and in the press room for Luciano Spalletti. Note to self: if youâre thinking about saying something that will mean you need to phone up a journalist at 2am to apologise, probably donât.

Hey Jude, donât be afraid
Mon, 01 Jul 2024
Marcus, Luke and Jim get their heart rates down long enough to recap a truly absurd game of football, as England scrape past Slovakia more by luck than judgement. But who cares, because weâve got Jude Bellingham.
We try to separate what could have happened from what did actually happen as we look over Gareth Southgateâs decisions, Englandâs tactics and what happens next. Elsewhere, Spain remind us of how sexy football can be, Georgia bow out heroically and the Belgians have banned their French neighbours from honking ahead of tonightâs game.

Itâs correct but I donât like it
Sun, 30 Jun 2024
The Euros knockout stages are here! Marcus, Pete, Vish and Jim praise Germanyâs band of brash brothers as they muscled past Denmark thanks to some VAR nonsense and Jimâs under the radar scouting pick, Jamal Musiala.
Elsewhere, Italy were knocked out without even a whimper and we look ahead to the small matter of Englandâs date with destiny Slovakia. At least the supporters will now be able to enjoy full-strength beer in the stadium, which will definitely calm down matters.

Mailbag: Whatâs changed watching England?
Sat, 29 Jun 2024
Weâve had Sven, Capello, McClaren and Hodgson come before him - so how will we remember Gareth Southgate? Marcus, Luke and Andy wonder why the English public keep saying the same things about England over the years, and whether winning a tournament would actually change anything.
Elsewhere in less soul-searching, heartfelt matters, we work out who weâd support if/when England get knocked out and decide which country has the best food to be armed with going into battle. A Toblerone vs a can of beans is a battle for the agesâŠ

Our Euros knockouts preview!
Fri, 28 Jun 2024
Itâs business time. And up yours, England are still in the mix. Marcus, Luke and Jim are joined by Andy â fresh back from Germany â to preview the knockouts and discuss our favourites for the tournament now we know what (the incredibly unbalanced) draw looks like.
Plus, Gareth Southgate is to blame for bad Guinness, Anthony Gordon flies over the handlebars of his bike rather than down the wing, and thereâs mosquitoes in the Germany camp and â wait for it â Italian spies up Stuttgart's TV tower. But disgracefully, European football âexpertâ Andy doesnât know a thing about it.

Georgia do the Portuguese!
Thu, 27 Jun 2024
Goodbye to the group stages! And it finished with a magnificent day for Georgia, a terrible day for AntĂłnio Silva, and a reminder for Pete Donaldson that Cenk Tosun exists.
Pete, Jim and Vish discuss the final round of group stage sparring before the knockouts, with a sensational display from Georgia who are rapidly becoming our favourite team. Plus, Czech Republic and Turkey ruin everyoneâs Ramble predictions for number of cards at the tournament in one fell swoop and thereâs quite literally an electric atmosphere in the Romania vs Slovakia game. Kevin De Bruyne and co could have done with a bit of that, tooâŠ

Top of the group, bottom of the barrel
Wed, 26 Jun 2024
Somehow, England have finished top of their group. And somehow, theyâre in the best side of the draw. The plan worked!
Marcus, Luke, Vish and Pete react to a drab 0-0 that saw no big changes from the previous game and leaves them thinking there are bigger problems with Englandâs front line. At least we can cling to Anthony Gordon and Cole Palmer. Oh, and we can still enjoy a nice glass of Budweiser with Geoff Hurst, of course.
Plus, a former Romanian international has a conspiracy theory and the departing Scotland team get an unwelcome Bavarian surprise.

Sit down, drink venom and relax
Tue, 25 Jun 2024
Italy left it very late to secure 2nd place in their group against Croatia last night. Today, Marcus, Jim, Pete and Vish are here to dissect the key talking point from the game: Was Luciano Spalletti wearing a jacket or a cardigan?
Elsewhere, Pete upsets the Italians further by calling pizza cheese on toast. Plus, the Ramblers pay tribute to the amazing Luka ModriÄ and share their thoughts on what they want to see from England tonight.

Scotland are out!
Mon, 24 Jun 2024
Jeezy peeps, man. Marcus, Vish and Luke are here to perform the Scottish post-mortem after they were knocked out in the same underwhelming fashion that reflected their whole tournament. At least theyâve still got the Nations League!
Elsewhere, the Germans survive an almighty scare while Harry Kane and Mark Lawrenson battle the mainstream media - to vastly differing outcomes, we *must* stress.

Today, Marcus, Jim and Vish are here to wave a sad goodbye to 2pm kick-offs, they served us well! They also show concern that Belgium seem to have hit their straps. Plus, the lads are joined by Andy to question him on whether he ran on the pitch during Turkey vs Portugal.

What happens when you put two English referees on one of the most exciting clashes of the group stages? A 0-0 draw. Thatâs what PGMOL do to ya.
Marcus, Luke and Vish react to France drawing a blank against the Dutch, while Andy shares his experience of the atmosphere in the stadium but fails to pronounce buffet correctly. Plus, they discuss Austriaâs slick team performance against Poland thanks to the great Specs himself, which has left the lads worried that Austria could literally press England into their own net. But â fear not â a Serbian psychic has predicted everything will be okay...
Elsewhere, there are fresh revelations about our new favourite footballer Serjio Robert Livingstone Pohlhammer and Pete gets a new nickname.

Need a comforting embrace from Marcus, Luke and Vish? Bring it in. Ignore all the nervous sweat.
The lads discuss Englandâs messy draw with Denmark and figure out what needs to happen next as Trent Alexander-Arnold (probably) exits the midfield, Jude Bellingham goes full Alan Pardew, and the left wing remains completely empty.Â
Plus, we discuss our respective icks after Italyâs most handsome man scores an own goal and Marcus discovers the best ever name in football. Plus, we relive a terrible few minutes for Chris Sutton in 1998. Youâve got to cheer yourself up somehow, right?

A uranium rod up the arse
Thu, 20 Jun 2024
Scotland are still in it! Despite the Power Cube scoring AGAIN in a major tournament, the Scots rallied and the Ramblers still believe they can do it. But not on two points, Jim. Stop that.
Marcus, Jim and Pete react to another afternoon barn burner, agree that England are definitely certainly absolutely better without Jamal Musiala, and figure out how to get rid of a bee hive from a stadium. Plus, who would Jim rather fight: Niclas FĂŒllkrug or Martin Adam?
Â

The perfect game of football

Turkey 3-1 Georgia. Otherwise known as: the perfect game of football. Today, Marcus, Luke and Vish are here to once again explain why you simply must watch every game at the Euros. Imagine missing that barn burner, eh?
Elsewhere, Luke enjoys Cristiano Ronaldoâs transformation into an unfashionable No.9, which brings us back to the age-old question: is Ronaldo better than Niall Quinn? Plus, the Ramblers back Scotland to be much improved in their do or die match against Switzerland.

One word to describe Englandâs win over Serbia: eeeeeeeeaaazayyyyyyy!
A few more words you could use: a conservative, cautionary reminder of England teams of old that might serve them well in games to come.
Luke and Andy are on hand to reassure Marcus and Jim after England battled through against a physical, handy Serbian side. We talk Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and whether England are conservative or controlling. Elsewhere, Christian Eriksen serves up some magic and Ronald Koeman delivers a Jogi Low-style meme for the ages!

Elsewhere, the Ramblers also have their say on some of the key debates that are already taking over the tournament: Which country has the best fashion? Which nation has the best food? And who has the best animals? Plus, Jim explains why Serbia could be Englandâs hardest group game.

A sad Scottish buffet
Sat, 15 Jun 2024
Oh dear Scotland⊠and to think things started so well when a penis was seen before the tournament had even started. Today, Pete, Luke and Vish are here to sympathise with the Scottish fans, despite a pretty woeful performance of the players on the pitch. Positive Peter is still giving the Scots one more chance, however.Â
Elsewhere, the lads ponder how good Germany actually are and Luke and Vish honour some excellent dad behaviour from Ian Maatsenâs father.

Meanwhile, Marcus and Jim tell everyone about their magical time at Craven Cottage and â suddenly â Crystal Palace are the most exciting team in the league. Blimey!Â
Thereâs also the small matter of the title race and â speaking of the best â itâs high time for a Phil Neville updateâŠ

Thu, 09 May 2024
Marcus and Luke are back with the second edition of Lions Watch before Euro 2024! This week, they react to the news that a creaky Harry Maguire might be even more creaky come June: thatâs because he reportedly wonât be fit for the FA Cup final.
After the battle between Englandâs young midfielders on Monday night left people clamouring for Adam Wharton, Marcus and Luke debate who joins Rice and Bellingham in midfield â and why it might be time for Southgate to (gasp) experiment a little bit.

And that was the same for most of Spursâ XI last night in yet another defeat at Stamford Bridge. Marcus, Jim, ACAB Brassell and the V2 Rocket himself discuss a huge night for both clubs that left Son Heung-Min and Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg shoving each other and Mauricio Pochettino signing an XL bully.

Ramble Reacts: Little old Real Madrid
Thu, 18 Apr 2024
How about them plucky underdogs Real Madrid, eh? Marcus and Vish are on hand to react to a disastrous evening in Europe for the English sides.
On a night which saw Erling Haaland subbed before extra time, Vish asks whether Man City had too many cooks and no one to eat the pudding.

What⊠on EARTH was that?! Marcus, Luke and Jim recap Cole Palmer 4-3 Moments FC, where perhaps the biggest takeaway from one of the most ridiculous games youâll ever see was: youâve got to feel sorry for Harry Maguire.
Elsewhere, Chris Wilder finds himself snookered, Vincent Kompany is forced to manage Burnleyâs next crucial game from a blimp and we stumble across one of the most outrageously-named footballers youâll ever find.

Wed, 03 Apr 2024

Whoever wins, we lose
Wed, 03 Apr 2024
Marcus, Luke and Jim dive into yet more Barclays action, as a gloriously violent cameo from Newcastle's Paul Dummett gave Everton some much-needed points. Generous, innit.
Elsewhere, journalists continue to ask Mad Pep some even madder questions, Morgan Gibbs-White turns into primetime Zinedine Zidane and Liverpool prepare to use their Sheffield United at home voucher. A midweek treat!

Barclays Barnburners Deluxeâą
Mon, 01 Apr 2024
Marcus, Luke, Vish and Pete return after Man City 0-0 Arsenal to find the barn very much intact. Wasnât even remotely burned. Pep Guardiola still found plenty to be angry about, of course.
Luckily there were plenty of other Barclays bangers to get stuck into, as Man United somehow escaped Brentford with a point, West Ham somehow lost a crazy game at Newcastle, and Chelsea somehow remain the most mid-table club in the division. According to Mauricio Pochettino, anyway - he thinks they should be fourth, you see.Â
Plus, Peteâs clumsy South Korean adventures and Mark Puppetmaster Clattenburgâs at it again - join us for a Bank Holiday blockbuster!Â

The Preview Show: The Fleece of Champions
Fri, 29 Mar 2024
Three things we didnât expect in the studio today: a hammer, Sean Connery, and loads of Wellman supplements after Pete played table tennis against David Gandy. It can only be Preview Show time!
Pete, Luke, Jim and Vish â wielding said hammer â look forward to the return of the Premier League and the absolute egg-melter that is Man City vs Arsenal.

Wed, 27 Mar 2024
Marcus, Andy, Luke and Vish are here with some consoling words for our Welsh brethren, after their Euros journey fell at the final hurdle last night. Hereâs hoping they triumph in their next Penalty Competitionâą.
Elsewhere, England let the handbrake off and nabbed a draw against Belgium - might be worth putting the handbrake back on, as it turns out.

Mailbag: Has Gareth Southgate been a success for England?
Sat, 23 Mar 2024
The narrative that has been created around Southgate is one of squandered opportunities and an inability to match tactics against the elite in Europe. Is that fair? Would a penalty shootout win against Italy have changed everything? Marcus, Andy and Vish explore that on todayâs show.

Kobbie Mainoo is the latest addition to Garethâs Governors so naturally, Marcus is swinging from the chandelier. Before that however, the boffins at the Premier League are forcing Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish to wade through an annoying amount of admin after Nottingham Forestâs points deduction. Maybe thatâs the real deterrent?
Elsewhere, the Ramblers get hyped for Wales' huge Euros play-off, Vish tries to determine if he has eaten in the same Nandos as Bukayo Saka and Jim reveals that Frank Sinatra almost played John McClane in Die Hard. Yippee KiâYay!

Vish is on the pod, Vish is on the pod!! Today, Pete celebrated the return of the man of the bat by going through his old tweets. ConcerningâŠ
Elsewhere, Luke tells Marcus, Vish and Pete that he thinks Man United vs Liverpool was the barn-burner of the season. However, he also reveals that it wasnât even the most exciting thing to happen this weekend after he had a bust up on X with Matt Le Tissierâs daughter-in-law. On a related note, Marcus also tells us how a âjocular slapâ from Sean Dyche almost ruined Evertonâs warm weather training camp.

The Preview Show: Thrashing around in their own muck
Fri, 15 Mar 2024
Marcus, Luke and Jim whizz round the best moments from last nightâs European Battle of the Banter, as plenty of English sides impressed and Anthony Taylor delivered the best mugging off youâll ever see from a ref.
We then look ahead to this weekendâs FA Cup quarter-finals, as Man City face a beleaguered Newcastle and Man Utd face a lawsuit from their own staff.

Arsenalâs penalty shootout win over Porto was so exhilarating that even the crowd were exhausted at the end - so how do you think a 41 year-old Pepe felt?

Plus, Pete tells us how to hack the UEFA computers ahead of next seasonâs Champions League draw and Jim has an idea for how Gareth Southgate can get a lifeless Jordan Henderson on the pitch at the Euros.

Ramble Reacts: Chelsea win and Poch goes for dinner
Tue, 12 Mar 2024
Chelsea delivered a huge blow to Newcastleâs ambitions for the rest of the season â and a huge blow to Andy Brassellâs hopes of watching them play the runners-up from the Slovenian top-flight next season in the Europa Conference League. And thatâs all coming from what could have been the real True Geordie, Pete Donaldson.
Andy joins Pete to react to Chelseaâs 3-2 win over an increasingly beleaguered Newcastle, who Pete describes with probably the most unflattering simile in the history of football analysis. The lads discuss a chaotic game where Cole Palmer dazzled again, Mykhailo Mudryk thankfully didnât offer out another fan again, and Mauricio Pochettino didnât cancel dinner with his wife again. Plus, an unexpected appearance from Adam SandlerâŠ

Jim, Andy and Rhythmic Pete Donaldson are back with another rummage in the postbag, addressing listener questions and problems with the poise and dignity youâve come to expect.
We start by wondering what aspects of other sports football should steal - a draft system? Pausing for afternoon tea? Mario Balotelli smashing up a car?
We also place a few of our favourite pre-Premier League footballers in some 2024 line-ups and decide which teams should change their kit colours for prison jumpsuits.

Elsewhere, the lads get excited for Wayne Rooneyâs punditry debut, Pete launches a new career as a self-help guru, and Marcus explains why we might not know who gets relegated from the Premier League until June.

Sat, 24 Feb 2024
Earlier this week, Luke made the point that supporting a struggling Premier League club is worse than people realise.

David Rayaâs big hands
Wed, 21 Feb 2024
Believe it or not there was some Premier League action last night, even if Jim did have to take the train to France to watch it on TV. Today, Luke and Jim are joined by Pete whoâs in the chair to do a 6/10 job of hosting the Ramble (his own words).
The Ramblers discuss Michael Beale using burner accounts on Twitter (currently known as X), Luke reveals he saw Steve Parish and Oliver Glasner having a romantic day out, and they link Jason Statham with the Assistant Manager position at Crystal Palace.

Ramble Reacts: Palace hold on and Roy bows out
Tue, 20 Feb 2024
For perhaps the final time, Roy Hodgson leaves the managerial arena. And what more fitting tribute to his career than being mentioned in the same breath as Steve Bruce hustling for the South Korea job, eh?
Pete and Andy react to a night at Goodison Park that was somehow both open and cagey as Everton and Crystal Palace split the points! Elsewhere, Andy reveals why Oliver Glasner could get Palace challenging for Europe in the long-term and they discuss whether Dominic Calvert-Lewinâs finishing will ever catch up with his looks again. Plus, there really are more horrendous managerial links than you can shake a stick at â including Bayern Munich sniffing around for Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. Thatâs right, Ole Gunnar Bloody Solskjaer.

Sammy Leeâs Trebors

Did Harry Styles eat some Trebor Mints extracted from Sammy Leeâs arsehole, will Ross Barkley be made the sheriff of Luton, and is it a good idea for footballers to get their shins lengthened?Â
Pete, Jim and Luke are on hand to answer those burning questions and much more after another Premier League weekend! Plus, Phil Nevilleâs dream date, Mark Clattenburg pops up very unexpectedly, and Pete forgets one of the most famous people in the world. Join us!

Mailbag: Is there still a place for firefighter managers in the Premier League?
Things most of us predicted last night: a dominant Man City win. Things only Nigel Clough predicted last night: Mansfield Town beating Harrogate Town 9-2. And guess what? Harrogate didn't get a single yellow card.
Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy are fuming! They also debate whether we would let Elon Musk buy the Ramble and decide that Jim and Jude Bellingham should play in midfield together at the Euros. IT'S COMING HOME!

Ramble Reacts: Chelsea win it late
Mon, 12 Feb 2024
Itâs all going wrong for Crystal Palace, should they employ Andy Brassell as gaffer until the end of the season? Luke and Andy are here to discuss why Palace may need an interim solution to their managerial dilemma.
In the meantime, Luke explains why Palace could have been more positive in the game itself and the lads react to Petr Äech explaining why he would have obviously saved Jefferson Lermaâs goal. Oh⊠Andy also thinks Äech should take up building Lego. Listen to find out more!Â

A skulleted fiend
Mon, 12 Feb 2024
Ivory Coast won AFCON! Managerless, thrashed by Equatorial Guinea earlier in the tournament, and with Sebastien Haller grabbing the winner after overcoming cancer barely 12 months ago, last night really was one of the great âthatâs what football do to yaâ moments! What we want to know is⊠does the manager they sacked after the group stages still get a place on the victory bus?
Marcus, Luke and Pete discuss the weekendâs two big continental cup finals and â unfortunately for West Ham fans â plenty of Prem action, too. Luke âinadvertentlyâ starts a debate with some Hammers, Pete launches his bid to be new dictator of the United Kingdom, and we discover that Ivan Toney has a new Captain Tom tattoo. Plus, Joel Glazer finds a new role at Manchester United as a âfilthy magicianââŠ

Ramble Reacts: Phil Foden runs the show
Mon, 05 Feb 2024
Wait, whatâs that rumble? Is it Manchester City galloping towards the front of the title race? Or Peteâs belly after eating that remaining half of Christmas panettone?
Pete and Andy are back to react to more midweek Prem action, as Brentford put up a brave display but ultimately couldnât stop Manchester City. They chat Phil Foden - from his excellent goals, to his crap celebrations - and Andy delivers a prophecy of doom for Brentford. Plus, Jesse Lingard arrives in Seoul and receives a strange giftâŠ

The lemons have gone off
Mon, 05 Feb 2024
One last job, Ramblers. One last job for Neil Warnock AND Jose Mourinho?! We cannot believe our luck.
Marcus, Luke and Jim look back on an epic weekend of Premier League football that saw a whopping 41 goals â none of which should really be celebrated, should they? The lads discuss Arsenalâs victory over Liverpool and the post-match scenes â plus, Luke climbs down from his Luton Town prediction and Marcus climbs up on his Aston Villa prediction. Like, really far up.
It was also another bad weekend for Mauricio Pochettinoâs lemons and Chris Wilder continues his crusade against sandwiches. Come join us!

Mailbag: Do we overestimate the impact of managers?
Sat, 03 Feb 2024
As the dust still settles on JĂŒrgen Klopp's surprise announcement last week, one listener had a big question for us today: just how important are managers? Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim debate whether the media overstate their importance in football.
Elsewhere, Jim wishes he could have been present for one of the most iconic changing room bust-ups in football history and Marcus offers the listeners his services as a wedding MC if required. With added Nick Hewer, of courseâŠ

Wed, 31 Jan 2024
Luke and Pete are here and they are discussing the approved materials for goalposts following Darwin Nunezâs record-breaking performance last night. Cheesy Wotsits anyone?
On top of that, they fear for Chelsea since they look like a team who recently met in the car park and speculate over whether the upcoming documentary has anything to do with JĂŒrgen Klopp quitting Liverpool. Plus, Pete plans what he would write on his paper sign if he ever went to the darts.

Mon, 29 Jan 2024
The Maidstone United fairytale continues! Marcus, Luke and Jim shake off their Belfast hangover to look back on the FA Cup fourth round, where The Stones marched on (or rolled in one fanâs case), Erik Ten Hag struggled to give away a bottle of wine, and David Wagner obligingly rolled over for a belly rub to kick off JĂŒrgen Kloppâs farewell tour.
We also address the difficult scenes at the Hawthorns, which led to a long delay in the Black Country derby. Plus, the ghost of Jose Mourinho takes another managerial casualty and DR Congoâs goalkeeper channels his inner Michelle McManus. Said literally no one ever.

In a twist that left Marcusâ aunt practically choking on her Victoria sponge, Liverpool turned the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final on its head after going behind against Marco Silvaâs men! But then Fulham do have a chance of winning the Euro Millions. So, you know, there is always that.
Marcus and Jim reflect on an intriguing encounter where Liverpool once again found a way to win thanks to the only person whoâs more Scouse than then Scouse cat.

The Liz Truss of Football
Wed, 03 Jan 2024
Wayne Rooney lasted longer than the cabbage. And at least he didnât have one thrown at him like Steve Bruce.
Marcus, Luke, Andy and Vish discuss the exit of Luke Littlerâs younger brother from Birmingham City and just why useful-FIFA-Committee-idiot-in-waiting Garry Cook appointed him in the first place.
We also ponder West Ham fansâ split on Davide Moyes and â in totally normal news â Gianluigi Buffon wants goals to be made bigger and the Argentina FA retire the menâs national team number 10 shirt. Is that⊠Diego Maradona with an air rifle?

Happy New Year, bro
Tue, 02 Jan 2024
Festive football has almost drawn to a close and the highlight is most definitely Noni Madueke calling friend of the Ramble Jules Breach âbroâ. Marcus, Andy, Jim and Vish react to that and share their displeasure that Liverpool vs Newcastle didnât end 4-3. Just for old timesâ sake.
Elsewhere, Marcus makes his case for why Arsenal need a Tom Cairney in midfield and Vish explains why he isnât surprised a goalkeeper scored a worldie for Arbroath. Plus, we hear the new Roy Hodgson âletâs not take the piss hereâ extended cut!

Our New Yearâs Resolutions for Football in 2024
Mon, 01 Jan 2024
Footballâs great - but itâs not perfect. As a new year rolls around, we thought it was a perfect time to decide on some resolutions that football should definitely adopt. All of them. Even the ridiculous ones.
Marcus, Jim, Luke and Vish bring some idea of their own, from shot clocks and sartorial guidance to fundamentally destroying the fabric of the game. Plus, we sift through a boatload of suggestions from you lovely lot, which mainly focus on spanking and Gary Nevilleâs goalgasm.

Mailbag: Why doesn't England produce more elite coaches?
Sat, 30 Dec 2023
Marcus, Andy and Jim are back to answer more of your questions, and weâre kicking off with one thatâs dominated English football discourse for years: why doesn't England produce many elite coaches?
Whether itâs a lack of intelligent football discussion (guilty), the FA resting on their laurels or dwindling opportunities in the Premier League, thereâs loads to get stuck into. We then undo all our cutting insight by dreaming up some footballersâ appearances on celebrity cooking shows. Who would Jose Mourinho poison an unsuspecting victim with a pufferfish? And would Big Sam know his way around a Massaman curry?

The Preview Show: The Tartan Diego Simeone
Fri, 29 Dec 2023
If youâre going to make one New Yearâs resolution, make it this: watch the Indian national team at the Asian Cup. Why, you ask? Trevor Sinclair has just been made their overhead kick coach.
Marcus, Andy and Jim look back on a bitterly disappointing night for Arsenal and Konstantinos Mavropanos, who had to go through the Scott Sinclair Moral Mazeâą of scoring against a club he barely played for.
Plus, Roberto De Zerbi harnesses yet more chaotic energy, Phil Foden gets praise from a different bald fraud, and Jim explains how Jose Mourinho played mind games with his family on Christmas DayâŠ

Oi, Doswell!
Wed, 27 Dec 2023
Boxing Day, you never disappoint. Marcus, Andy and Luke are here and full of the joys of Christmas! And Luke can confirm that one Gosport Borough fan definitely was tooâŠ
We discuss Man Unitedâs Christmas miracle and everything you need to know about Sir Jim Ratcliffeâs deal (translation: we talk about his haunted pub). After another defeat for Newcastle, are reports that Eddie Howe is in trouble absolutely out of the question?
Plus, a detour to Egypt for our two new favourite football club names and whatâs that coming over the hill⊠itâs Felipe Melo on all fours!

Best of the Football Ramble 2023 (Part 1)
Tue, 26 Dec 2023
Today, weâre throwing it back to the start of 2023 and reliving some of our favourite Ramble moments!
The final stretch of the 2022/23 season saw some âproper gubbings", including Liverpool's seven-goal demolition of Man United. Oh, and don't forget the poor bloke who went to fill up his car and returned to his radio to find Spurs 5-0 down to Newcastle. The first half of 2023 of course also featured Andy losing his head at Luke during a game of Jackâs Encyclopaedia and our glorious trip to Wembley! And remember, Vish will never be a better bloke than Bukayo SakaâŠ

Ramble Reacts: A turkey leg each at Anfield
Sat, 23 Dec 2023
Jim Campbell is happy with a point at Anfield. However, heâs not so happy with Zinchenko attempting to do the Stanky Legg when faced up against Mohamed Salah in the box.
He and Luke tuck into the festive feast served up by Liverpool and Arsenal, before enjoying Robbie Fowler sticking the boot into Michael Owen for dessert. Plus, Jim admits he would move in with Peter Drury for the rest of the year if it meant Arsenal win the league.

Mailbag: Would the European Super League improve English football?
Sat, 23 Dec 2023
Our listener Christian has a theory: could a European Super League actually improve English football? Marcus, Luke and Andy debate the merits of that suggestion on todayâs Mailbag.
Elsewhere, Luke explains why someone should make a biopic all about Paolo Maldiniâs tennis career and there's agreement that humiliation is the key to improving players' conduct in football!

The Preview Show: Incubating Pepâs head
Fri, 22 Dec 2023
What reason would Roy Hodgson have to incubate Pep Guardiola? I donât know.
Itâs cold outside, but Marcus, Luke, Andy and Jim are here to warm your footballing hearts with tales of Hodgson looking after his owl eggs, Ross Countyâs manager having a full-blown rant about the standard of Scottish football, and Gary OâNeil almost certainly getting a contentious penalty decision against him and his team on Christmas Eve! Probably in the 92nd minute.

Ramble Reacts: Liverpool hammer the Hammers!
Wed, 20 Dec 2023
Marcus needs consoling. Again. Thatâs because Fulham have been drawn against Liverpool in a two-legged semi-final. Oh no...
Luke joins Marcus to react to Liverpool dishing out yet another defeat to poor old David Moyes, who made history by becoming the first manager to try and play a Carabao Cup quarter-final via email. Plus, why Santa has been dragged into the middle of the Celtic-Rangers rivalry and bold predictions that Steve Cooperâs going to pop up in the Bournemouth end at the weekend. Probably topless.

Arnie the Cockney Parrot
Wed, 20 Dec 2023
The Carabaoâs back! Today, Jim and Andy have to console Marcus after Kieran Trippier - aka one of Gareth Southgate's brave boys - suffered a difficult night at Stamford Bridge. At least Fulham won!
Speaking of Southgate, Marcus touts Steve Cooper as the next England manager now that heâs been sacked by Nottingham Forest. Plus, we hear from a cockney parrot and learn about some West Ham fans that crashed a boat into Hammersmith BridgeâŠ

The sound of laughter, the sun appearing while youâre out for a walk, scoring a late penalty to draw 2-2 at the Etihad, these are just a few of the things guaranteed to bring a friendly smile out of Roy Hodgson.
Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish take a moment to enjoy that before settling into their seats to watch the next chapter of the MartĂnez Cinematic Universe. Surely, Neal Maupay is the storyâs best villain? Plus, Vish compares Liverpool 0 - 0 Man United to watching an episode of Takeshiâs Castle.

Mailbag: Are hard men overly romanticised?
Sat, 16 Dec 2023
âFootball was better in the good old days!â But was it really? Today, Marcus, Luke and Vish state the case for why football is actually better off with fewer Vinnie Jones type characters. I am sure Gazza agreesâŠ
Marcus then plays the hits by reminiscing about the time a 35-year-old Gabriel Batistuta nearly signed for Fulham and shoehorning everyone's (no-one's) favourite British-Canadian tennis playing Greg into the show. And no, itâs not Greg ProopsâŠ

Join us for a bumper Barclays preview! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish settle in to write some Tom Cairney fan fiction and wonder if Steve McClaren will tear his hair island out should Man United get punished by JĂŒrgen nâ co.
Elsewhere, Stevey Cooper looks to save his skin Under The Lightsâą and Chelsea vote to ban something theyâve been doing all season - very noble.

Is Man Unitedâs season over? Marcus, Jim and Vish debate that on todayâs Ramble after their Champions League exit has left Vish yearning for the haunted boy himself, Ole Gunnar SolskjĂŠr. Things must be really badâŠ
Elsewhere, Jim explains why perhaps Arteta didnât play the kids in their âbig rubberâ against PSV last night and we wonder whether Sevilla have a Europa League Black Card that will guarantee them a spot in the knockouts, despite finishing bottom of their group.

Marcus, Luke and Andy react to one of the weirdest things anyone has ever said this year, while Man United revert to their painful norm.

After a week where you could watch every Premier League game live, do we actually have... access to too much football?
Today, Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete are back for our (now weekly) Ramble Mailbag! On the show, the Ramblers are given the power to overturn one result from football history and Luke, nobly, decides to use his powers for good to overturn one of footballâs great injustices. There's also a story about an 80-year-old Norwegian referee that has officiated over 5000 matches across two different sports... and is still going strong!

Marcus, Andy, Luke and Pete discuss Steve Cooperâs last chance saloon at Wolves and a huge showdown at Villa Park! Pete also ponders on the logistics of âdoing an Emi Martinezâ, while Marcus has penned an ode to the great man. Emi, not Pete. Join us!

Chaos is the answer
Wed, 06 Dec 2023
Arsenal went to Kenilworth Road and stole the points! Just like Aaron Ramsdaleâs dad stole Arsenalâs Christmas decorations...
After a brilliant game of football Marcus, Jim, Vish and Andy are here to explain why chaos is the answer for Luton Town going forward.
They then all agree that chaos is definitely NOT the answer for Man United ahead of a potentially season-defining clash with Chelsea tonight and celebrate the FC Twente fan that successfully carried 64 beers back to his seat. Plus, is Chris Wilder the answer for Sheffield United? He knows the club, after all.

Just another normal weekend. And you havenât even heard about Pete breaking up a fight between two horses yet.Â
Marcus, Luke, Pete and Vish are here to unpack the madness that was Man City vs Spurs, the madness that was Liverpool vs Fulham, and the madness of Old Traffordâs chicken prep.

Fri, 01 Dec 2023
December is upon us! And what can be more festive than a snowball fight between Aberdeen fans and Helsinkiâs goalkeeper in the Europa Conference League?
Luke is back in the studio and joins Marcus, Vish and Jim to hear an update from Head Foreman Steve McManaman on the Anfield stadium extension, ponder on just how many Newcastle United players Erik Ten Hag will embrace after defeat this weekend, and discuss whether Angeball can stand up to Pepâs Man City.

Newcastle were on the end of a stinking decision last night. Predictably, Pete seems the least outraged by the whole incident - but Marcus and Vish are angry about it, particularly because it robbed Nick Pope of his clean sheet bonus. Maybe not quite as angry as the Newcastle fan that had to turn on his Christmas lights to cheer himself up, mind...
Elsewhere, we ask if Man City fans would be happier if they gave every team a head start and Peteâs penned a power ballad for a very sad Gary OâNeil! Poor Gary.

Just a shinner
Mon, 27 Nov 2023
We witnessed one of the greatest ever Premier League goals on Sunday, but there are more urgent matters to attend to on todayâs show. Like⊠is Sean Dyche actually bald?
Marcus, Vish, Jim and Pete guide you through a chaotic Premier League weekend! We argue that Lewis Miley looks like a stretched out Furby, Steve Bull should be given an unlimited number of dogs by Wolverhampton City Council, and why Pete should definitely be allowed to launch a new German techno club in Motherwell.

Fri, 24 Nov 2023
Weâre finally back in the warm, comforting arms of our benign Premier League overlords. And do you know what that means? Protest planes.
Pete, Vish, Andy and Jim discuss how Everton fans should make their protest heard, what it would be like to have your head in Jurgen Kloppâs armpit, and unconfirmed reports that Erling Haaland has a Viking longboat on its way to Liverpool full of special super fish.

The Best of Ramble Uncut
Thu, 23 Nov 2023
Been wondering what youâre missing out on over on the Football Ramble Patreon? Well, hereâs a tasteâŠ

Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish are here to look back on the final round of Euro 2024 qualifiers, where Wales fell short of automatic qualification and now face the play-offs. We wonder whether people potentially have unreasonable expectations for this current Wales squad.

England completed a statement 8-1 aggregate victory over North Macedonia. Marcus and Jim are on hand to send that message to the rest of Europe. They also remind us that there are no rebounds in a penalty shootout.
Once thatâs out of the way, the lads discuss if these two poor performances will have any effect on England going forward and whether Rico Lewis can make the squad for the Euros. Plus, would Harry Kane go to Oktoberfest by himself?

Mon, 06 Nov 2023
Spurs 1-4 Chelsea: where to begin?! Luke and Vish are here to pick apart a quite ridiculous game and a quite ridiculous performance from Cristian Romero, which somehow left the lads comparing him to Arnold Schwarzenegger and both Kray twins.
They also take a moment to enjoy Big Angeâs commitment to playing with a high line and - of course - Luke still manages to find time to take Gary Neville to task for a quite insane analogy about parrots.

Do people love Lionel Messi a little bit too much? Thatâs the question that Media Darling Marcus wants answered after the latest Ballon dâOr.

Hereâs to the benchwarmers
Mon, 30 Oct 2023
Manchester United may have lost yesterday, but at least they have a really bad tackle from one of their former players 20 years ago on one of Man Cityâs new playersâ dad to cling onto.
Marcus, Jim and Pete look back on the Manchester derby, Antonyâs terrible cameo, and some even worse poetry about Man City which Pete tries to rewrite. Plus, whatâs the weirdest thing youâve ever seen written on a bridge? Have you ever seen anything more painful than that VAR check at Bournemouth?

We also check in with his former team as Man United stumbled past Sheffield United, while Chelsea and Arsenal lovingly shared the points at the Bridge - as each goalkeeper tried to prove theyâre more chaotic than the other.Â

Sat, 14 Oct 2023
Marcus and Jim get the flares out and throw some pint glasses in the air after Englandâs ferocious 1-0 win over Australia. If only England couldâve tested themselves against the very best of our Antipodean cousins: namely, the Cumdog.
Ollie Watkins made his case to be the second striker in command, while Lewis Dunk and James Maddison also impressed. We recap those performances, see Ireland bow out of Euro 2024 qualification and check in with some cracking goals from across the continent.

Ramble Reacts: Chelsea dare to Ream
Tue, 03 Oct 2023
Marcus and Luke were in situ for a special on-location Ramble Reacts last night! Recorded from the beautiful old stands of Craven Cottage, they chew the fat over Chelseaâs 2-0 win against Fulham â a game which Marcus mostly spent hoping that Aleksandar Mitrovic would fly back from Saudi Arabia to get on the end of a Tom Cairney cross.
Could Mauricio Pochettinoâs lemons finally be sending his team on the right track? Are Fulham in trouble this season as they struggle for both goals AND lemons? And when will Marcus be able to host bingo in the Fulham dressing room for the players post-match?

Ramble Reacts: A Bayern Burner!
Thu, 21 Sep 2023
Luke and Vish jump on after a weirdly underwhelming barn burner over in Munich, where four of Bayernâs fifty-six efforts found Man Unitedâs net - and United somehow scored three.
We wonder if either of these sides can make a meaningful contribution in Europe, get more details on Daniel Levyâs masterplan and reserve yet more love for the greatest Englishman whoâs ever lived: Jude Bellingham.

Julen Lopeteguiâs stint at Wolves is officially over, but thankfully his return ticket to the continent is probably still valid. Today Marcus, Andy and Pete are here to discuss whether Gary OâNeil is the Gaviscon that Wolves now need.
Andy then tries to win the West Ham fans over by explaining that their new signing is âtough as old bootsâ, before we explain why Kevin de Bruyne is the Eeyore of the Premier League.

The World Cup is still brilliant, but itâs got its problems. And yet the issues we face today arenât as confusing and downright obscene as those faced by the thirteen teams who competed in the first ever World Cup.
There was - we stress - some truly outrageous moments. Teams and fans missed their steamboats there, brawls erupted on the pitches and in the stands, kings picked some of the teams and a defeat in the final incited a literal military coup.
Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete are your insightful tour guides!

The Ramble: And a hamstring injury!
Mon, 22 May 2023
Manchester City are the champions, but we all know who the real winner was this weekend. Thatâs right, Big Sam found a fiver on the touchline.
Jules, Vish, Jim and a pig piss-soaked Pete Donaldson take in the penultimate weekend of the Premier League season, where we ask whether a dog or an olive tree is to blame for Arsenalâs capitulation, whether West Ham should build a statue of Jules Breach, and we witness one of the most insane pieces of football commentary ever.
And Brighton have made it into Europe! One Rambler is fuming about itâŠ

We also speculate about the future for Real Madrid and whether this should really signal for a changing of the guard, both on the pitch and in the dugout. And would you rather be Inter - with a Champions League final to look forward to but sat on a ticking financial time bomb - or AC Milan - with a squad full of young talent - right now?

Thu, 18 May 2023
You know what is far from perfect though? DJ Grealoâs set in the metaverse! Thatâs right, Pete went in there and he brings news.
Pete, Vish and Jim munch on that, how Man Cityâs continued march to European silverware has left us feeling, and one of the best 45 minutes of football weâve ever seen, which left even Don Carlo and his eyebrows completely powerless.
We also discuss the real treble: Vish and his friends losing three phones on a night out in Bath in the noughties and retrieving all three within 24 hours.

Close to 10 years to the day since Sir Alex Fergusonâs final game as manager of Manchester United, we had to look back at the defining game of his career. Or really, the defining two minutes of it.

The Ramble: STILL fighting for this title
Mon, 15 May 2023
It might be the fourth time weâve said this, but Arsenalâs title dreams are surely, FINALLY over. Can someone tell Jim?
Pete, Jim, Vish and Andy hop aboard Jordan Pickfordâs bouncy castle to react to that, Southampton and Rishi Sunak finally levelling down, and the chaos at Elland Road that definitely had Big Sam rubbing his hands but probably also biting through Patrick Bamfordâs violin strings one by one. And it sounds like Mauricio Pochettino is destined for Chelsea â but Andy isnât convinced by âArgentinian Alan CurbishleyââŠ

Itâs Big Samâs coronation weekend! Today, Jules, Jim, Andy and Pete have gathered to celebrate not one but two coronations, as Napoliâs party boat officially set sail last night after winning their first Scudetto in 33 years.
Elsewhere, Pete fears for the fish, as there was a party in another seaside location after Brightonâs late winner against Man United last night. Plus, we asked whether Jack Grealish (aka DJ Grealo) is about to bring back Madchester, and we take a moment to enjoy the prospect of Neymar partying in the Bigg Market next season.

Ramble Reacts: Big Samâs back!
Wed, 03 May 2023
The footballing gods have delivered! Weâve been served up the best piece of Barclays news of the season so far. Big Sam Allardyce has been given four games to save Leeds United and Pete, Luke and Jim couldnât resist jumping on to record a pod and revel in the news.
Although this is good news for the Ramble we do accept that it's probably not great for Patrick Bamford...anyone for a culture clash? We also consider a situation where Big Sam keeps Leeds up without winning a game, and if that isn't the romantic side of the Beautiful Game, then what is?

The Football Rambleâs Guide To⊠Lee Bowyer vs Kieron Dyer
Wed, 03 May 2023
We saved the best Newcastle-themed Ramble Guide till last! Today, we look back on one of the most baffling, thrilling and things-you-donât-like-to-see-but-actually-really-want-to-see moments in Premier League history. Thatâs right, itâs the moment Lee Bowyer attacked his own Newcastle teammate, Kieron Dyer. And then the moment their manager, Graeme Souness, challenged them both to a fight.
Join Marcus, Pete and Jim for a very Ramble trip down memory lane!

The Football Ramble's Guide To... Jamie Vardy
Tue, 02 May 2023
Imagine your loudmouth mate left your hometown, became one of the Premier Leagueâs most fearsome strikers and secured a Premier League title, an FA Cup triumph and a Ballon dâOr nomination. Well, no need - Jamie Vardy did just that.
Marcus, Andy, Luke and Jim get the party started with a look back over a phenomenal journey of grit, determination and shithousery. From gradually making a name for himself in non-league football to a foiled move to a club in Ibiza - Pacha, probably - his earlier years were a relentless, brutal lesson in goalscoring. And, after a slow start to the Premier League after a record-breaking move to Leicester, him and his motley crew of pirates went on to become modern day icons of English football.

Ramble Reacts: Sean Dyche digs one out
Tue, 02 May 2023
A chaotic game that benefited absolutely no one but was pure Barclays through and through. That calls for only one Reacts trio: Pete, Jim and Vish!
They discuss Jordan Pickfordâs colour printer, Sean Dycheâs nose-picking penchant and whether Brendan Rodgersâ trip to Mount Blanc is going to give Leicester the edge.
Plus, could Alan Pardew end up at Leeds?

The Ramble: Tottenham âSilly Gooseâ Hotspur
Mon, 01 May 2023
After all the badge chat on Friday, Jimâs decided that the animal on Tottenham's logo is actually a silly goose. There's no rest for Spurs fans just yet as today Jules, Vish, Jim and Andy are here to pick apart that sensational barn-burner against Liverpool! We also have to break the news to JĂŒrgen Klopp that he is in fact now old.
Once thatâs out of the way, we take a moment to show our admiration for Wolves for securing safety and then just totally giving up on the rest of the season, while Andy shares his theory that Erling Haaland could be EVEN BETTER in two years' time. Frightening!

Fri, 28 Apr 2023
Ryan Mason picked his favourite Tottenham hoodie out of the club shop last night and lead Spurs to a credible draw. Today Pete, Luke, Jim and Vish are here to try and work out whether playing The Stone Roses as the players went down the tunnel for half-time was the turning point for Spurs.
Elsewhere, Vish is made to defend his claims that Joe Willock shouldnât play for England - Spoiler: it doesnât go well - and we try to work out what song Alexander Isak was singing while he dribble passed Michael Keane three times.

On The Continent: Serie Aâs Champions League contenders
Thu, 27 Apr 2023
Juventus have got their points back - for now - but are they good enough on the pitch to make it count? Nickyâs not convinced but she does suggest Inter's Simone Inzaghi COULD be the next Carlo Ancelotti.
Today Dotun, Andy and Nicky look to Italy and the ongoing race for Europe, they hear from a listener that took Andyâs advice and saw Jose Mourinhoâs Roma play in the flesh. We also ask: Can Dortmund beat Bayern in what is essentially now a 5 game season and why do things feel slightly underwhelming at Barcelona despite their huge lead at the top of La Liga?

The Ramble: COYS, Daniel
Wed, 26 Apr 2023
The youngest person gets the job - thatâs Daniel Levyâs new motto, apparently! Peteâs in the hot seat today and heâs joined by Luke and Jim to once again try and make sense of Tottenhamâs recruitment strategy.
They also enjoy the fact that Jamie Vardy hasnât forgotten how to be Jamie Vardy despite not scoring in six months, before torturing Jim with a preview of tonightâs huge clash between Arsenal and Man City. The key question in our analysis was, of course, should Mikel Arteta shave his hair off?

The Football Rambleâs Guide To⊠Steven Gerrardâs Slip
Tue, 25 Apr 2023
Premier League title races have given us some great moments over the years, but few have reverberated through history quite as much as this one.
Steven Gerrard had uttered the words - just a week before - âlads, we donât let this slipâ. And yet, on one fine day at Anfield in April 2014, it quite literally did. And who was the villain behind it all? Jose Mourinho, of course.

In separate games, sadly. But damn it all Marcus, Jim and Andy are here and armed with all the best bits from last nightâs action nonetheless â from Man City and Interâs progression in the Champions League, to a lil bit of Championship spice!
Featuring goalscoring goalkeepers, a very stubborn football curse, and more outrageously outdated references. Plus, Jim offers his theory that Tuchel is just a top-tier Nathan Jones. Yikes.

Ramble Reacts: Chelsea are put out of their misery
Wed, 19 Apr 2023
After Chelsea at last bowed out of the Champions League last night, Marcus, Andy and Luke are left scratching their heads over Frank Lampardâs lineup and⊠quite a lot of things really.Â

The Football Rambleâs Guide To⊠Alan Shearerâs 8 games in charge of Newcastle
Tue, 11 Apr 2023
For most clubs in the Premier League, eight matches remain this season. And those at the bottom - this campaign more than ever - have made their final roll of the dice.
In the spring of 2009, Mike Ashley played what he thought was his trump card to keep Newcastle in the top-flight: Alan Shearer. He didnât have any coaching badges. He had never managed any team. But he loved the club. Surely that would be enough?
Spoiler: it wasnât. But it was a mad old ride! Join Marcus, Andy, Jim and Pete to look back on it all.

They discuss the reception of Englandâs first foreign manager, Svenâs unprecedented charm offensive to win the publicâs hearts, and what was really Englandâs undoing in an era that promised so much. Thereâs Sven fleeing a property with some clothes missing as well, of course.

Ramble Reacts: Turn the rave off
Tue, 14 Feb 2023
Marcus, Luke and David convened straight after full time to discuss a Merseyside derby with a hella lot riding on it. But just remember itâs the anniversary of a Darius Vassell goal for England, yeah?
We talk Jordan Pickfordâs lack of qualifications to be a pilot, the return of Sean Dycheâs s**t coat, and young Stefan BajÄetiÄ winning the battle in midfield â as well as Mo Salahâs heart, apparently. Plus, what few handbags there were on the pitch is made up for by David and Luke on the pod. Ding ding ding!Â

Marcus and Luke look back over the international career of one of Englandâs greatest ever footballers, twenty years on from his bizarre debut as one of eleven substitutes (thank Sven for that one).

Thu, 17 Nov 2022
On the pitch, this might be the best World Cup for a generation. But off the pitch, it couldnât be worse.
Dotun and Andy are joined by Miguel Delaney to discuss these two âparallelâ World Cups.

Milan continue to impress with Olivier Giroud leading the charge, while a collection of French teams struggle to make any discernible Europa League impact.

World Cup Classic Combinations: Wayne Rooney & Cristiano Ronaldo, 2006
Thu, 03 Nov 2022
On today's bonus episode, Marcus, Jim and Andy look back at a classic combo from World Cups past. We return to 2006, where England's hopes of glory hinged on one stamp - and a wink.
Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo had established themselves as two of Europe's brightest young stars when they met in the World Cup quarter-finals in 2006. We look back over that tempestuous game that riled up English fans and media alike for months afterwards. Even if they conveniently forgot that Rooney literally stamped on a man's groin.Â

Kate heads to Brentford to talk to one of the Premier Leagueâs most eloquent characters.Â
Ben Mee has a fascinating story: from starting out at Man City in the midst of the takeover in 2008, to becoming a lynchpin of Sean Dycheâs Burnley, and a spokesperson for parents dealing with miscarriages and childbirth after the premature birth of his and his wifeâs daughter.
He puts us in the shoes of being a Premier League footballer, discusses what went wrong at Burnley, what makes a good leader on the pitch, and - of course - why Sean Dyche ate a worm one time.

Tue, 18 Oct 2022
After our deep dive into footballersâ good/awful acting careers a few weeks back, there was only one place we could go next. Because if a footballerâs on camera, theyâre normally advertising something - especially if they play for Man United.
Jules, Jim, Pete and Vish discover that the quest for a crisp pound note isnât just confined to ex-pros hoarding crypto on Twitter. Weâve seen it all, from George Best sincerely advertising eggs to Kevin Keegan promoting road safety (terrifying) and Michael Owenâs chopper. Tremendous, by the way.

Doesn't it just make you fizz when you see one of Gareth's gang having a lovely time? Doubts might have emerged about Mason Mount's fitness on Friday night after we recorded, but he has caught the eye under his new boss, Graham Potter.
We also mourn another difficult week for England's defenders â but don't worry, at least Ben White is really attractive. And Jordan Pickford is the subject of the Take Thermometer! Will this week's take finally be a Carolina Reaper?

Some men graft their way to the top thanks to the fruits of their relentless labour, a graceful demeanour and a healthy slice of acknowledged luck. And other men are Alan Pardew - because when you're the king, you can do anything.
Spellso, Mooresey, Jimbo and Dono settle in for a thorough assessment of the perennial FA Cup bridesmaid, as we try to separate the art from the artist. How does Pete feel about his one decent season at Newcastle? Should he have managed England? Can he headbutt?

The Drop In: David Dein
Tue, 11 Oct 2022
After the release of his new book, today we're picking the brains of one of the most influential figures of the modern English game.
David Dein was a director and major shareholder at Arsenal for 24 years and was a significant voice at the FA for many of them, too. In that time, he brought ArsĂšne Wenger to England, helped assemble one of the greatest sides of all time, and forced through the commercial behemoth that is the Premier League.
Heâs certainly been at the heart of a lot of change down the years. So today, weâre asking what he makes of the game now: from its owners, to its Super League, to its money. And don't forget the vanishing spray!
**You can purchase David's new book, 'Calling the Shots: How to Win in Football and Life', here. All profits go to 'The Twinning Project' charity, which partners prisons with local football clubs to help prisoners' physical and mental wellbeing and overall rehabilitation.**

Mon, 10 Oct 2022

We wonder if JĂŒrgen Kloppâs time is coming to a slow end on Merseyside, while Man United's one-trick pony strikes again. Elsewhere, Brentford got a Brucey Tummy Tickleâą up at St. Jamesâ as Newcastleâs takeover anniversary loomed over a barnstorming performance.

The Preview Show: Brother Brendyâs Envelopes
Fri, 07 Oct 2022
Marcus, Luke, Vish and Jim settle in for another blockbuster Barclays weekend off the back of more midweek madness.
Weâve realised that Pep Guardiolaâs biggest fan is in fact Erik ten Hag - now that is Manchester, united. We also wonder if Brendan Rodgersâ envelopes can help them to a win over Bournemouth, check in with a miserly Everton defence and see if West Ham can lift their striker curse.

On The Continent: Is the Super League back in business?
Trent Alexander-Arnold answered all the critics who have lambasted his defending in recent weeks by bagging a free-kick and watching Rangers huff nâ puff their way out of the Champions League. Justice!
Elsewhere, Marcus, Luke and Lars Sivertsen check in with the various Champions League results, as Spurs stuttered to a draw and VAR unveiled its magnum opus over in Porto. We also wonder how much you could get for a hyperbaric oxygen chamber on eBay - just that sort of show, I guess.

On The Continent: Less Ronaldo, More Portugal?
Thu, 29 Sep 2022
Dotun, Andy and David Cartlidge are here with a state of play after the final international break before the World Cup. We wonder if Germany might prove entertaining rather than efficient come Qatar and whether the problems plaguing France have knocked them off their prime perch.Â
Thereâs also time for a Barcelona injury update and a question even devoted fans are starting to ask: do Portugal need to move on from Cristiano Ronaldo?

After their final game ahead of the World Cup, Marcus, Luke and Andy check on Englandâs progress after an entertaining - if chaotic - draw against Germany last night.
The likes of Jude Bellingham and Reece James proved their immense worth, but Harry Maguire tripped over the dice Gareth Southgate rolled when deciding to play him again. The boys discuss that and also wonder about the immediate future for Trent Alexander-Arnold after he was left out of the match day squad, before announcing the return of a very special Ramble show!

FRP Showcase: Back from the Brink - Episode 1
Mon, 11 Jul 2022
Todayâs Football Ramble Presents showcase is one close to our hearts.
Last year, the European Super League crashed into our lives. On the first anniversary of that fateful announcement, Andy Brassell and a host of journalists, fans and familiar Ramble voices tell the story of what happened, how supporters fought back, and wonder what the future holds.
In the first of three episodes, we traced the long road to April 2021.Â
From the origins of the Super League in the 80s, to the scarcely believable backroom manoeuvrings inside UEFA last year, we spoke to the journalists who first broke the story to understand the motivations and miscalculations that finally made Europeâs biggest clubs cash in their most valuable bargaining chip.Â
Want to hear more? Episodes 2 and 3 are available on Football Ramble Presents.

The Football Ramble's Guide To... Kits
Sat, 09 Jul 2022
Jim, Luke and Pete are back with another episode of your audio companion through football's colourful and confusing history. Today, we're talking bruised bananas and shorts so tight you might shit yourself: football kits!Â
From early iterations of death-dealing studs and bolt-on shinpads to the sartorial nods of the 1980s, kits have been a cultural cornerstone of football. Nowadays, they're worn by everyone from hipsters to louts and those directly in between (Pete Donaldson). Join us for our favourites, some shockers and how we'd design kits of the future!

Why do so many of us obsess about football? Why do we do this to ourselves when it can cause so much pain? Well, we're here to help! Kind of. Welcome to The Football Ramble's Guide To!
This summer, different Ramblers will be here to walk you through the sublime and the ridiculous from our beautiful game. Today, Jim, Luke and Pete discuss the twelve hardest yards in sport: penalties.

Fri, 24 Jun 2022
Andy's back with a hugely important episode of At The Match, as he travels to ĆĂłdĆș in Poland to see Ukraine's second 'home game' since the Russian invasion in February.
He walks through crowds of vibrant local supporters with British-Ukrainian journalist Andrew Todos, who reflects on a hugely difficult period for the national team. We also hear a fevered home support cheer on Oleksandr Petrakov's men, who came away with a point after a ludicrous James Collins opener.

Wed, 22 Jun 2022
We're back with two bags of souvenir Bulgarian pottery for another trip down memory lane as Kate, Luke and Pete kick off with the 2015/16 season - dilly ding, dilly dong!
The Iceland horror show came and went, the Champions League served up its best season ever and the Ramble became Football Ramble Daily. After that, we welcomed our new cohort to Ramble HQ and, following a Film Club-filled lockdown, we came roaring back with over 500 episodes of glorious nonsense. Oh yeah, and England got good again!

15 Years of the Football Ramble: Part 1
Tue, 21 Jun 2022
Join Marcus, Jim and Vish for the first of two episodes celebrating fifteen years of the wee Ramble!
We take a trip through the first few years of the show and football history more broadly, as the lads took a ramshackle production from Luke's kitchen to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and onto a studio Pete had access to. In that time, Pep Guardiola became a manager, the legend of Keggy was born and Donaldson drunkenly bought two pianos.
We'll be back tomorrow with Part Two. Thanks for all your support over the last fifteen years - here's to the next fifteen!

New Zealand were also let down by footballâs cruel whimsy, as their World Cup spot slipped through their fingers. Better luck for Scotland though, and Ireland's Nathan Collins turned into prime Ronald Koeman - bosh!

Careful, them ghosts are real
Liverpool kept their title hopes alive, but Man City have already taken a huge step towards next seasonâs crown by picking up Area 51âs Erling Haaland in Vincent Kompanyâs disused ambulance. Yikes.
Jules, Andy and Pete round-up the action from Villa Park and plenty more big stories, as day one of Wagatha Christie brings some startling revelations and there are accusations that Marcelo got the boot at Lyon for farting too much. Plus, make sure you stick around for Pete's interpretation of Jonathan Woodgate's first LSD experience.

Wed, 23 Mar 2022
As the Chelsea takeover gathers apace Marcus, Andy and Vish discuss the latest and how fans are finally finding their voice on their clubâs future. Sadly, Batesy still isnât in there.
Elsewhere, Neil Warnock spits some bars about Mike Dean, ArsĂšne Wenger prepares his hop from one gravy train to another and thereâs a very questionable dilemma in this weekâs Pep Talks.

Corinthian Too Casuals
Mon, 21 Mar 2022
The quadruple is still on for Liverpool after they survived a stern test at a bouncing City Ground last night. There goes Diogo Jota again, must remember to thank him.
Marcus and Jim are joined by Lars Sivertsen for a jam-packed Ramble, as Crystal Palace moonwalked through Everton while Chelsea and City also booked their semi-final tickets. There's also more bonkers Barclays, as Wolves shot themselves in all four paws and Spurs got a vital win against West Ham!

Running? But we're footballers.
Thu, 17 Mar 2022
Kate, Luke and Andy get stuck into a cross-continent football feast on today's Ramble, as spirited performances from Arsenal and Lille left them with sod all respectively.
Liverpool and Chelsea thus take the rightful plaudits, while Spurs maintained their consistent inconsistency with a south coast scalp. We also give Juventus a deserved kicking and hear of some fantastical Gaelic football exploits in our email section.

Pep Guardiola went about his usual policy of making friends (Crystal Palace's Vicente Guaita) and alienating people (Kyle Walker) after City's draw with peppy Palace. Don't worry, he is so so happy.
Kate, Luke and Jim look over last night's result and Crystal Palace's impressive season as a whole. We also wonder about the future of football ownership as Eddie Howe and some Chelsea fans have a lot to answer for in the wake of football's money obsession.

A big bath of chips
Mon, 14 Mar 2022
Jules, Jim and Vish look back over a Barclays Sunday Funday as we hone in on a vintage season finale at both ends.Â
Arsenal showed their defensive steeliness - even if Vish thinks itâs a bit lame - while Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the years at the other end. Elsewhere, Everton slip further into the mire, Brentford scrabble away and we search for the leagueâs most handsome squad.

Remember PSG, you can throw endless Qatari money at some of the worldâs best players, take the reigns from Leonardo because heâs a fool and win the first leg - but the house always wins.

Big bangers!
Mon, 07 Mar 2022
Manchester City mercilessly put Ralf Rangnickâs holiday camp to the sword, as Manchester United looked limp, bereft of ideas, and defensively shot. Or as Pep called it, âincredibly impressiveâ.
Marcus, Pete and Jim recap all of that, ask whether Arsenal should stay in red, and wonder if Phil Coutinhoâs spiritual home really is the rainy midlands. Plus, penalty megamind Tim Krul is undone and thereâs an overdue update from Britainâs oldest footballer! Dickieâs back!

Norwich will hope the spirit of Delia can guide them to victory against Brentford, while Leeds' new sheriff Jesse Marsch comes riding into town with a sack full o' vibes.

Thu, 03 Mar 2022
Jules, Andy and Vish react to the seismic news that Roman Abramovich looks to sell Chelsea after nineteen years. We discuss some myopic reactions from various circles and ask where the club goes from here.
We also pick through last night's FA Cup, as a Romain Perraud worldy helped sink West Ham and Norwich soaked up even more Liverpool punches. Plus, Roy Keane loves horoscopes!

Burnley's stuttering form was struck by a bolt from the blue last night. A shithousing pest of a bolt in the form of Jamie Vardy - Brendy's cavalry has arrived!
Marcus, Jim and Andy recap a host of last night's game, as Boro's cup strut continues and Jack Grealish reminded Pep he's still knocking about. We also offer our expertise to the Canadian Premier League and a bald ref headbutted a fan in Scotland. Obviously.

You haven't seen Squid Game, have you?
Tue, 01 Mar 2022
With FIFA and UEFA banning all Russian clubs and national teams, we wonder if this might prove a watershed moment for football. Or maybe they'll go back to being their sycophantic, self-absorbed selves. Maybe.
Kate, Vish and Pete pull on that thread and wonder what fuĂball extraordinaire Jesse Marsch can bring to Leeds United. In other contractual news, Gigi Buffon has extended his career *yet again* and former Bayern winger Mario Basler lost a bet and is now a manager. Standard.

Newcastle kicked off their lads holiday to the Middle East in the appropriate fashion, with a Jonjo free-kick snatching some perhaps undeserved points at Leeds.

Marcus, Vish and Andy are now looking for a membership to Sexy Graham Potter's colony of high-flying Seagulls. All assistance is welcome.
We look over their confident display against Chelsea and Fulham's continued destruction of the Championship. There's also a Ghanaian collapse at the AFCON and it's a fresh start for Fizzer Neville as Inter Miami kick off their pre-season with a spring clean.Â

Heading in a tin foil hat
Tue, 18 Jan 2022
For all the yellow ties and #HereWeGo nonsense, the January window does occasionally throw Ramble HQ a few bones. Today, it's potential high-profile returns for Diego Costa, Hatem Ben Arfa and Christian Eriksen - bosh!
Kate, Luke and Pete pick through the good, the bad (more Premier League postponements) and the ugly (Everton's latest plight) on today's Ramble. We also celebrate another Spurs trophy and hear more of Pete's wall-licking exploits.

Farewell, Paellardyce
Mon, 17 Jan 2022
There are certain things you need in a relegation scrap. Rafa Benitez is seemingly no longer one of them, but a Jack Harrison topknot looks an absolute must.
Jules, Jim and Pete rattle through the movers and shakers at both ends of the table, as City extended their dull lead at the top and the relegation vortex drags more people in. We also round up the latest from the AFCON and discuss some high profile derby delays.

The Preview Show: Having Xhaka will be helpful
Fri, 14 Jan 2022
Realising his team was under the pump, Granit Xhaka did the only thing he could do: get sent off for a reckless high boot and inspire Arsenal to new heights of camaraderie and team spirit. The manâs a revolutionary.
Kate, Luke and Andy discuss last nightâs clash at Anfield and look ahead to the battle for North London on today's episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! Meanwhile, Neal Maupay preps for the panto and as Man City chase the title, Pep Guardiola must guard against complacency after receiving the best prize of all: Tim Sherwoodâs stamp of approval.

It's King Kazu's music
Thu, 13 Jan 2022
We've always said that consummate professionals will continue to find work in the game. And so it proves: Chelsea have recalled Kenedy and King Kazu signs a new contract at the ripe old age of 54. Fifty-four!Â
Marcus, Pete and Jim celebrate the King's return and look over yesterday's matches, as DavĂd Moyes continues to annoy everyone and Chelsea put one hand on some Carabao. Plus, some bizarre and heartwarming action at the AFCON!

The Andy Carroll Weekly Worldy Bonus
Wed, 12 Jan 2022
As Chris Wood hops from one sinking ship to another, Andy Carroll reminded Newcastle just what they've been missing: two absolutely ridiculous goals, both ruled out for offside.
Jules, Pete and Vish pick those out, look over an oddly slick Southampton win and enjoy some offbeat AFCON goalkeeping. We also try our hand at some tactical analysis of Italian naval warfare. Don't say we don't do anything for you.

STANDARDS
Tue, 11 Jan 2022
Much like Pete whenever we enter the studio, Man United fans held up a banner demanding improved standards from their ragtag bunch of jewels and jokers before their 1-0 cup win. Shame they used Eric Cantona and Roy Keane as examples, but alas.
Marcus, Luke and Jim look over that stuttering victory and round up a cagey day at AFCON. We also wonder how long Derby County can afford to stave off an impending Mike Ashley and celebrate the amazing work of Andrew Jennings.

Are all underdogs confident?
Mon, 10 Jan 2022
Kate, Jim and Vish are on hand with a thorough breakdown of a cracking weekend of FA Cup action, with some unexpected giant killings alongside the usual underwhelming business for Newcastle United. Sticking to traditions, and all that.
We also hear some pearls of lower league wisdom from Blackpool's Neil Critchley, Tanguy Ndombele compounds his Spurs problems and AFCON kicks off with a bang!

Fri, 07 Jan 2022
Marcus, Luke and Pete settle in for a bumper FA Cup Third Round Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!
Weâve got you covered with a comprehensive guide to celebrities from Swindon, nipple-baring fans, and 39-year-old Wes Hoolahanâs inevitable merry dance around Newcastleâs midfield.Â
Plus, Kieran Trippier signs for Kayak and an old nemesis gets in touch with some FA Cup reforms.

We need an exorcist
Thu, 06 Jan 2022
In a crushing blow to fans of last yearâs Carabao Cup Finalists memorabilia, Chelsea planted one foot firmly in next monthâs final courtesy of some extraordinary Spursiness.
Luke and Andy join Terry Hurlock Breach to look back on the action. We also check in with Man United, whose canteen cliques have somehow slipped into a full-scale coup, and ponder on Philippe Coutinhoâs rumoured link-up with Stevie G.

Oh Dear! What Can The Blatter Be?
Wed, 05 Jan 2022
We thought the odd Instagram post apologising for missing a penalty or a sending off was far enough. Now, Romelu Lukaku has broken new bizarre ground with his heartfelt plea for forgiveness - all for speaking Italian nicely.
Kate, Jim and Andy mourn this latest nail in football's coffin ahead of a potentially dominant Chelsea performance against Antonio Conte's impressive Spurs. We also serve up a thorough breakdown of various German sausages and celebrate the return of The King*.

Wazza's Discount Derby
Tue, 04 Jan 2022
Wolves were the latest to capitalise on more Man United malaise last night, with their understated win celebrated by an understated Bruno Lage. Kate, Pete and Jim wonder whether their lack of goals at both ends can sustain a Europa League chase.
Elsewhere Wayne Rooney might well be plotting the greatest of escapes, Pete's latest investigative journalism uncovers some deep state Andy Carroll theories and we discuss the latest bizarre batch of footballer retirement plans.

No knighthood, despite my 47 goals in all competitions
Mon, 03 Jan 2022
Despite another year without due mentions in the New Year Honours list, Marcus, Vish and Andy are here to kick off another year on the Football Ramble!
There's plenty of meaty stuff to get our chops around, including controversy at the Emirates and a ridiculously good game at the Bridge. Crucially though, we carve out ample time for John Terry's quest for a knighthood and cautiously light Newcastle's first emergency flare of the January window.

Can I be honest, Joelinton?
Tue, 28 Dec 2021
Despite idiotic questions from interviewers afterwards, Joelinton proved himself to be the heir to Roy Keane's throne as he dominated Man United's midfield. Odd it was for Newcastle, mind.
Marcus, Vish and Jim are back to find out how deep the Old Trafford rot might go and revel in some buoyant Newcastle support. We also look ahead to some midweek clashes as Brighton continue their quest for Vish's love while Norwich and Leicester desperately search for greener grass.
That's it for Rambles this week - thanks so much for your support this year. We'll be back to our full schedule next week!

But can this slumpy team be trusted?
Mon, 27 Dec 2021
Marcus, Vish and Jim are here to chew over the latest round of Christmas crackers, with Southampton and Arsenal picking up impressive wins. But should we actually trust either team with them?
Elsewhere, Man City and Leicester played out a ridiculous game - even if Brendy should've put himself on the bench. Harry Kane also impressed against Patrick's Palace, especially after what we assume was a fairly awkward Christmas for the Kane family.

The Best of the Football Ramble 2021
Wed, 22 Dec 2021
To round off the year, we're looking back on some of our favourite moments from this year's Football Ramble! We relive the trauma of the European Super League, revel in our Euros fairytale and celebrate the Hamilton Accies commentator and his wee jobby. We even find time for an extended visit to the North-East for plenty of Keggy, Brucey and takeover-related nonsense.Â

Much like the UK Government, we're back with another work Christmas party! Marcus, Kate, Vish and Jim settle in at Ramble HQ for more festive fun.
If you've ever wondered about how Kate ended up with an alpaca one Christmas or the delightful Sri Lankan flavours of Vish's Christmas lunch, then look no further. We also give Demba Barticulate another spin after yesterday's glowing reviews.

The Preview Show: Just give it Jonj
Fri, 17 Dec 2021
Jonjo Shelvey's return to Liverpool reminded the Anfield faithful what they've been missing: 20-yard screamers, misplaced passes and a general lack of impetus. Sign me up!
Marcus, Andy and Jim browse another porous Newcastle performance and a spirited point from Rafa's cut and shut Everton. We also look ahead to the Nations League's glorious return and wonder just how English football continues amidst further cancellations - all on today's Preview Show, sponsored by Betway.

The Fortress of Rob Holdingtude
Thu, 16 Dec 2021
With a great win over West Ham last night, can we finally say it? The Emirates is... a fortress?
Marcus, Jim and Pete wrestle with that and check in the rest of last night's matches, featuring some worldy skills from James Ward-Prowse and RĂșben Neves. We also celebrate Sergio AgĂŒero's amazing career and pull on an alarming Aussie thread.

The Apprentice has thwacked the Master
Wed, 15 Dec 2021
As Arsenal's leadership group pass the captaincy parcel around at London Colney, we wonder who can take the bantle on now Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's been dismissed. Those Amazon cameras must be delighted!
Kate, Pete and Vish look over their troubles and check in with a despondent Marcelo Bielsa as the master was absolutely thwacked by the apprentice at the Etihad. There was also a Groundhog Away Day for Dean Smith and a perfect tribute to Diego Maradona by his heir apparent, Philippe Coutinho.

Any excuse for a buffet
Tue, 14 Dec 2021
Kate, Vish and Jim settle in for another Ramble after yesterday's botched Champions League draw highlighted what piss-poor pageantry we've come to accept from these bizarre events. At least Michael Owen explained it all clearly on BT Sport...
Elsewhere, we wonder how Dele Alli can revitalise his career ahead of a touted January move and ask just how long football can push its luck amidst skyrocketing Covid-19 cases.

God Rest Ye Merry Pentlemen
Mon, 13 Dec 2021
Throughout the festive period, it's important to carve out a bit of indulgent time for yourself. This weekend, pour yourself a fizzy lager and enjoy your team getting pumped 4-0 by laissez-faire Leicester - just what the Donaldson ordered.
Pete's joined by Luke and Jules after another chaotic weekend as Raheem Stirling joined the Hundred Club and Marcelo Bielsa liberated his passions at Stamford Bridge. We also update the Festive Football Naughty List, thanks to a tardy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and some Major League Stripping from NYCFC boss Ronny Deila.

Fri, 10 Dec 2021
The Foxes might not have been able to squeeze through the Europa League group stages last night, but at least a dog on Partizanâs pitch during their Europa Conference League game had a lovely old squeeze. Swings and roundabouts for the animal kingdom, eh?
Kate, Luke and Pete cast their eyes over last nightâs action and Brendan Rodgersâ chapped lips on todayâs Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

It was a landmark moment at Old Trafford last night, as Ralf Rangnick brought Tom Heaton on for his Man United debut 20 years after he first joined. Thatâs the stuff.
Marcus, Andy and Pete chew over the final chapter of the Champions League group stages, as Barcelonaâs journey to a last eight Europa League defeat at the hands of David Moyes begins. Plus, Portmantonio Conte returns and Patrik Schick gets an unusual trophyâŠ

Arsenal went into Banter Club retrograde last night with a dismal display that helped Everton to a vital three points. Even some picky VAR offsides for Richarlison couldn't save them!
Kate, Vish and Jim pick through Arsenal's torrid turn and wonder if Farhad Moshiri can turn things around at Everton despite all evidence suggesting otherwise. We also call in the Keggycopter to help with some signage at St James' Park, look ahead to tonight's Champions League action and fear for Jude Bellingham after some punchy post-match comments.

Mon, 06 Dec 2021
Marcus and Vish are joined by the returning Luke Moore for another post-Barclays bash, as West Ham's latest vintage win left David Moyes a bit *too* happy for our liking.
Elsewhere, Edmund Howe delivered a timely Toon win against struggling Burnley and Ralf Rangick's tactical tinkering was enough to unshackle Fred. We also recap a purrfect win for Chelsea in the Women's FA Cup final and enjoy another Divock Origi cameo - it's jam-packed, so join us!

Fri, 03 Dec 2021
Man United welcome in the Ralf Rangnick era with a chaotic win over Arsenal, with Fred epitomising the good, the bad and the batshit that Ralf must contend with. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Marcus, Andy and Jim look ahead to a bumper Barclays weekender on today's Preview Show, sponsored by Betway. There are some huge matches down the bottom of the table, a cross-capital ding dong and the Scott Parker Derby to name a few.

Wed, 01 Dec 2021
It seems the Keggy hoodoo is still lurking around every corner at St James' Park, as Eddie Howe is still looking to capture that entertaining allure. Shots on goal: some. Shots in their own feet: several.
Marcus, Jim and Pete also look over Leeds' last gasp win against Crystal Palace, where Raphinha's stuttering penalty run-up was nearly ended by the final whistle. We also bring you an update on robotic offsides and answer some concerning tuxedo problems on this week's edition of Pep Talks!

Stretching the Geordie blanket
Tue, 30 Nov 2021
More bizarre football awards ceremonies last night, as Lionel Messi won the Ballon d'Or while Robert Lewandowski had to settle for the Whole Load of Goals prize dreamed up fifteen minutes beforehand.
Marcus, Pete and Vish bask in Lionel's reflected glory and wonder how Ralf Rangnick might get on at Manchester United after completing his move. We also look ahead to two huge Premier League matches, as Leeds search for a spark and Eddie Howe searches for a bigger blanket.

Even the blizzards summoned by Ćukasz FabiaĆski this weekend weren't enough to stop either a purring Manchester City from winning or Sean Dyche from putting a jacket on.Â
Kate, Jim and Lars round up a flurry of Premier League goodness as radio's Ralf Rangnick helped Man United get a point at Stamford Bridge and Graham Potter weathered some unusual booing. We also summarise the game's latest bout of shithousery, stretching from Norway to Uruguay.

The Preview Show: I prefer to kill them all
Fri, 26 Nov 2021
Like a rock hard Mitre to the face on a freezing Sunday morning, itâs safe to say Antonio Conte was struck by the size of the task he has at Tottenham after his men were downed by Mura last night. Marcus, Pete and Jim wonder just how many of his players he might run over when he sees them in training on Friday.Â
Elsewhere there's more European goodness, Manchester United look to be on the verge of a disturbingly wise managerial appointment and we finally get to the bottom of Newcastleâs poor form: biscuity food fights. All on today's Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Thu, 25 Nov 2021
Mauricio Pochettino slunk back to Paris with his tail between his legs last night after another fairytale clash with Man City, where Bernardo Silva served up the sauce and Kyle Walker was just really, really fast again.
Marcus, Andy and Jim chew over that and travel to Liverpool as well, where we hail Thiago and check in with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, whoâs sliding into Garethâs DMs as we speak.

Wed, 24 Nov 2021
They've crawled through a river of shite, but Jadon Sancho and Donny van de Beek have finally reached Redemption. Michael Carrick, take an interim bow.
Pete, Andy and Vish recap last night's Champions League action, as Chelsea's production line delivered some delicious goods and Andy caught Barcelona's *thrilling* 0-0 with Benfica at the Camp Nou. We also make fleeting stops in France (for crowd trouble) and the Polish sixth tier (for 53 goals a game).

Club legends are ten a penny, nowadays. Whether it's Steve Bruce eyeing up the Manchester United job or Tony Hibbert joining a new club five years since his Everton retirement, you'll find them everywhere.
Marcus, Vish and Lars wonder where Man United go next as they shake off Ole Gunnar SolskjĂŠr's sickly sweet vibes - would Mauricio Pochettino make that train journey? Elsewhere, Messrs Southgate and Hibbert put pen to paper and the Champions League returns!

Jules, Jim and Pete pore over the dismal performance that broke the panel's back and wonder what's next for the rudderless Reds.

Rejoice, for the stars have aligned and brought us three managerial debuts for this weekend's edition of the Barclays! Dean Smith even cut short his espionage mission to New York.
Marcus, Andy and Jim look into their respective matches before checking in with the other end of the table, as in-form Arsenal are the latest sacrificial lamb on the Anfield alter and Brother Brendy's been offended by some trumours. All of that to enjoy on today's Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Does Fabian Delph spark joy?
Thu, 18 Nov 2021
Kate, Jim and Pete are here with the answers to some of the game's biggest questions: is Zinedine Zidane warming to the prospect of Man United? Are Newcastle victims of a vicious Premier League cartel? How many miles will Dani Alves run in every Barcelona game he starts?
We also revel in some truly obscene scenes from last night's FA Cup first round and hear of more financial struggles in the EFL, with Reading the next club to be handed a points deduction.

Roberto MartĂnez: Stylish Mover
Wed, 17 Nov 2021
Roberto MartĂnez nearly pulled out some of those saucy moves in that electric Cardiff atmosphere last night, with Beefy Moore's equaliser enough to get Wales a seeded play-off spot.Â
We get into that, before Marcus and Luke console Lars Sivertsen after Norway's disciplined display bore no fruit against Louis van Gaal and the Deathstar. We also check in with the sorry situation at Derby County and get a *crucial* Inter Miami update, as financial fiddling gives way to Neville nepotism.

44 buttocks chase a ball around and eventually Che Adams scores
Tue, 16 Nov 2021
England's marching band stuck ten past San Marino in the final round of Now That's What I Call Competitive, meaning they can turn their attention to the dark cloud coming over the hill.Â
Kate, Luke and Pete give that a once-over, remind everyone that Scotland invented the passing game after their Danish delight and see Northern Ireland throw the cat among the piccione. We also delve into the ongoing issues around Qatar 2022 and what can be expected of the players and federations heading their next year.

Fresh off his latest round of Ibra Watch, Lars Sivertsen joins Jules and Andy at Ramble HQ for a blast through a hefty weekend of international football.
Aleksandar MitroviÄ and co dented Portugal's World Cup hopes with some last gasp magic, while Harry Maguire drowned out the #haters at Wembley. We also wonder if Dean Smith can save Norwich, remind Scotland they're decent and bring some non-league nonsense to the table!

The Preview Show: Didn't even want a Belgium cap
Fri, 12 Nov 2021
In the era of hyper professionalism, it's refreshing to see Radja Nainggolan determined to never play for Belgium again because he'd rather have a smoke. Ryan Fraser should've used that justification for dropping out of Scary Steve's Scotland squad.
Marcus, Luke and Vish look ahead to some crucial qualifiers as Scotland inspire some confidence, Wales plant some seeds and Harry Kane looks to shake off some poor form. All on today's international Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Imagine it: you're Matty Cash. You've just turned up to national team training for the first time - having learned the anthem on YouTube - to find Pep Guardiola scampering along the touchline. Rest up, Pep, honestly...
Jules, Jim and Andy check in with two Liverpool legends as they change jobs, as Steven Gerrard takes over Aston Villa and sporting director Michael Edwards will end his incredible tenure later this season.

Signing Jonjo's #cans

Jules, Andy and Pete pour some garlic butter over more football nonsense, with Steven Gerrard casting an eye southwards and Xavi putting the Catalan hammer down. We also put ourselves forward for Man United's new handyman job - bicycle not included.

Kate, Luke and Andy call out Ole Gunnar SolskjĂŠr for more post-game patronising and praise Chelsea's adaptability. We also debate the merits of Unai Emery, as his trip to Newcastle hangs in the balance, and celebrate a landmark occasion for Neil Wise Old Head Warnock!

Tue, 02 Nov 2021
Kate, Jim and Vish track Wolves' migration up the table after another tidy win, this time against a struggling Everton. We wonder why the bottom half of the table remains a maelstrom of uncertainty - maybe Marcelo Bielsa's translating sherpa can guide us through.
We also look into Antonio Conte's imminent arrival in North London and the embarrassment of managerial riches the Premier League will possess - with or without lonely wanderer Daniel Farke.

Mon, 01 Nov 2021
The inevitable axe has finally fallen, with Saturday's turgid performance enough to get Nuno EspĂrito Santo the sack - whether we can blame him for it or not.
Jules, Luke and Jim wonder why it's consistently gone wrong for Spurs since the 2019 Champions League final and who they should turn to next.

First United, now City - David Moyes is coming for you, Manchester. That bridge he burned when he took over from Sir Alex Ferguson is still smouldering.

Burn a bridge to light my way

Antonio Conte seems open to scorching the earth on which decades of Manchester United's success has been built, after saying he'd "be open to understanding the project". We all would, I think.
Kate, Jim and Andy run through the latest spins of the managerial merry-go-round, as Newcastle look to finalise Steve Bruce's replacement. We also scrutinise David Beckham's ambassadorial role for Qatar 2022 and hear the latest of Gianni Infantino's World Cup format proposals, both of which we'd rather just went away to be honest.

No Tyne like the present
Mon, 18 Oct 2021
Newcastle's bunch of ragtag mercenaries probably saw yesterday's tussle with Tottenham as a chance to show the new owners what they're all about. So: Callum Wilson scored, Allan Saint-Maximin danced down some blind alleys and Jonjo Shelvey was sent off after 20 minutes. Standard.
Jules, Luke and Pete blast through that and some other cracking games from the weekend, as Wolves and the Foxes complete outrageous comebacks and Liverpool's relentless form continued. Plus a steward scored with a dildo - make of that what you will.

Thu, 16 Sep 2021
How is it possible to feel like youâre missing out when youâre watching a 3-2?Â
Marcus, Andy and Vish fan the flames of a barn-burning night of Champions League action, as Liverpool and Milan serve up another classic while Antonio Conte visits the Cavern Club and everyone has fun at the Etihad, apart from Pep Guardiola.
We also hear more bizarre footballer injuries and learn about the Turkish political party campaigning to get rid of offsides. If the glove fits, I suppose. Come join us!

Smouldering Champions League embers
Wed, 15 Sep 2021
The Champos is back with a clang, as Jesse Lingard gifted those Young Boys a victory minutes from time. It was actually reminiscent of a game from last season Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said he never wanted to happen again. Damn it all.Â
Marcus, Jim and Andy also look over a solid victory for Chelsea and an absolute cakewalk for Bayern Munich over in Barcelona. Demba Ba also announces his retirement and we finally come up with a name for our new Agony Aunt section - ropey jingle included.

Hedge fund goalie
Tue, 14 Sep 2021
Arise, Sir Andros of Walton. Kate, Luke and Pete look back on Evertonâs storming six minutes last night, as Andros Townsend smashed in a beauty and the SalomĂłn RondĂłn-Rafa BenĂtez love story entered a new chapter.
We check in with Leicester after their promising display against Man City at the weekend and wonder whether James Maddisonâs lack of hobbies is bringing about his slow demise. Thereâs also a look ahead to the return of the big shiny Champions League and a brand new shiny game from Peteâs Pandoraâs Box. Brace yourselves!

There can be no tougher test for Cristiano Ronaldo than a visit from Steve Bruce's tactical titans - just as well no UK fans will be able to watch it, really!
Kate, Luke and Pete also wonder how far Arsenal can slip into the darkness ahead of their game against Norwich, while Scott Carson 'n co will look for Community Shield revenge against Leicester. Plenty of that and loads more on today's episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Quick pint of Tennent's, Timo?
Thu, 09 Sep 2021
Marcus, Andy and Vish assess the state of play after England's set of qualifiers ended with a 1-1 draw in Poland. Another Harry Kane goal, a lack of subs and surrendering a lead - same old story, perhaps?
Elsewhere, Wales and Northern Ireland just about kept themselves in the hunt with a couple of clean sheets and Italy finally won a game. We also hear more of Vish's bizarre takeaway habits and FIFA's version of The Avengers starts to take shape - it seems John Terry is, indeed, inevitable.

Wed, 08 Sep 2021
Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes continued their stint as Scotland's devastating double act, as their pestering perseverance earned Scotland a vital 1-0 win over Austria.
Kate, Andy and Luke canter through all of last night's highlights, with Andy's AFC Wimbledon on the march and Andy's Turkey on the end of another pasting. We also chat about FIFA's depressing calls for bi-annual World Cups and wonder whether we'll see further opposition to Qatar 2022 in the coming months.Â

We also hear of a classic tale from the Pep Guardiola back catalogue and tackle some fundamental questions on football broadcasting: should Cristiano Ronaldoâs 3pm debut be televised? And how did a bald man obstruct an entire TV audience?

Daft little penalty, silly unbeaten record
Mon, 06 Sep 2021
Jules, Jim and Pete round up a weekend of international football, with Gareth's gang back picking up another serene Wembley win thanks to Executive Vibes Director, Jesse Lingard.
More of the same also occurred across Europe, with Italy *still* unbeaten and Gareth Bale *still* doing the business for Wales. The same can't be said of South America, mind, as four of Argentina's squad were detained mid-game by Brazilian officials! Turns out a fair few people do actually watch them in the Premier League...

England's vibesmen return

The cream of Europe's striking talent was on show last night as Cristiano Ronaldo broke the men's international scoring record, Erling Haaland smashed in another and Aleksandar MitroviÄ was... nowhere to be seen.
Marcus, Jim and Pete bounce through last night's results, with Scotland sloppy at the back and the Netherlands confirming they're not the best team around. We also hear of some apparent transfer chicanery and look ahead to England's return!

We're swiping right on Transfer Tinder for likes of Odsonne Edouard and Dan James, while Alex Witsel's coach has snuffed out rumours on Twitter.

Marcus, Vish and Jim take another post-Premier League bath, with a whole host of nonsense to get stuck into. Join us!
Cristiano Ronaldo was off to Man City when we last spoke, but now we wrestle with some mixed feelings ahead of his return to Old Trafford. There's plenty of on-pitch stuff too; Patrick Vieira's youth revolution gets underway at Crystal Palace, the malaise continues to set in at Arsenal, and Chelsea's ten men survive a testing trip to Anfield.

We look forward to a couple of huge Premier League games as Liverpool led by a spectacles-less Klopp clash with Chelsea at Anfield.

Plus, thereâs the England squad announcement and a tasty Champions League draw.
We also discuss Arsenalâs trip to the Etihad, where Cristiano Ronaldoâs shadow looms large. And speaking of superstars, Kevin Keegan is due to make a rare public appearance at the Birmingham Hilton. We can barely contain ourselves.

Mon, 16 Aug 2021
Just the four assists and a dominant display from the Man United midfielder? Not interested.

Better to have loved and lost
Mon, 12 Jul 2021
Well, there we are: the two tournament's best teams made the Euro 2020 final, where England fell at the final hurdle.Â
Marcus, Luke and Vish settle in for a pensive postmortem, as England were beaten by a better team after more penalty shoot-out heartbreak.

One step from glory
Sat, 10 Jul 2021
After fifty matches and 140 goals, the tournament's two best teams remain standing - and Gareth Southgate's England are one of them.
Kate, Luke and Vish look ahead to what should be a cracking final, with intriguing and potentially pivotal individual battles across the pitch. We also take a moment to consider the generational impact this team has had on the country and see just how far a group of nice guys can go.

Marcus, Andy and Jim pull up some chairs in the eye of the storm, with England two days from potential immortality.
We look back on England's route to the final, as Southgate's lambasted pragmatism gradually moulded into the key for all our hearts. Elsewhere, the mind games have started at Gazzetta dello Sport, Sven backs the boys and we get a live Soccer Moses update from Nashville itself!

The 120-minute Italian Job
Wed, 07 Jul 2021
One half the tournament ledger has been finalised, with Giorgio Chiellini's ragtag bunch of renegades advancing to the final at Spain's expense.
Kate, Andy and Jim spare a thought for Ălvaro Morata, who slid past Gianluigi Donnarumma with one shot and then blew his foot off with another. We also look ahead to England's semi-final against Denmark, as Gareth's gang singlehandedly restore a measured and genuine pride in the England national team. G'wan England!

The bald eagle has landed
Mon, 05 Jul 2021
With a historic semi-final looming, England have finally brought out the big guns: the unicorns have returned. It's business time and we're all for it.
Marcus, Luke and Pete also hear some alarming words of encouragement from Timo Werner and wonder how Patrick Vieira will get on at Crystal Palace. Speaking of Premier League legends, Marcus brings us the latest Phil Neville update and Hatem Ben Arfa's mate thinks he'll return to Newcastle one day....

Marcus, Andy and Jim are as batshit giddy as you'd expect after England sauntered past Ukraine with a casual wave of Harry Maguire's massive bonce.
Gareth Southgate and the entire squad get their due praise as we celebrate England's brilliant brand of organised fun. We also look over their semi-final opponents, with Denmark putting in another impressive performance against a steely Czech Republic.

I don't care what Spinning Zola says
Sat, 03 Jul 2021
Kate, Pete and Jim settle in after Italy took the sheen off Belgium's golden generation thanks to a heady cocktail of swashbuckling shithousery - it's great to see.
Spain's 1476 attacks only yielded one goal in the other quarter-final, but were saved by Switzerland's torrid attempts in the shootout. We also look ahead to England's trip to Rome with a place in the semi-finals up for grabs!

It's frank, le boeuf
Thu, 01 Jul 2021
Tottenham's search for their new manager has come to an end, almost exactly where it began two months ago. Nuno EspĂrito Santo, come on down!Â
Kate, Andy and Pete also check in on a few other managerial moves, as Rafa BenĂtez crosses Stanley Park and Frank de Boer stepped down from the Netherlands role âin anticipation of the evaluationâ. Presumably, the evaluation will be that he's had a mare from start to finish.

So, what on Earth happened last night?
Tue, 29 Jun 2021
Kate, Vish and Pete charge into the studio after one of the greatest days in international tournament history - even Ălvaro Morata got involved!
France papered over substantial cracks with a brief flurry of attacking brilliance - with Karim Benzema and Paul Pogba showcasing their endless class - before somehow losing to Switzerland. We also rave about an All You Can Score buffet that Spain won and look ahead to England's night of reckoning, soundtracked by the sodding England band.

Mon, 28 Jun 2021
Marcus, Pete and Jim attend another big team postmortem, as the Netherlands crumbled under a few stern glances from the Czech Republic.
Cristifraud Penaldo is also on his way home after Belgium muscled their way past Portugal, with Lukaku running all night long and Eden Hazard's junk just too strong st-strong, strong strong.

Thu, 24 Jun 2021
The group stages reached their final crescendo last night, with Hungary kicked out of the party despite giving the big boys a run for their money.
With that, Cristiano Ronaldo closes in on immortality and Germany deal themselves a knockout game against England - even as Joachim Löw still shuffles his pack. Join Marcus, Jim and Vish as we pick through all the other goals from last night and see where it leaves us ahead of the knockout stages!

Bloody hell Denmark. Bloody hell. Jules, Luke and Jim react to an epic night in Copenhagen which had it all: thunderbastards, bandaged leaders and the most extraordinary comeback story.Â
We also hail the Finns for their brave showing against those bothersome Belgians, who might just whip the trophy out of Englandâs hands despite Gareth Southgate engineering a genius progression to the last 16.

Wales have reached the knockout rounds for the second Euros in a row! Kate, Jim and Pete look over their dogged performance against Italy, who further cemented themselves as suave Bond villains hell-bent on winning it all.Â
At the other end of the form table lie Turkey who - despite being the tournament's de facto dark horses - finished with one of the worst records in the competition's history. Xherdan Shaqiri's pair of absolute worldies saw to that.

Right, who doubted the Germans?
Sun, 20 Jun 2021
Even Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't halt a resurgent German performance that's put die katzen amongst the pigeons in Group F.
Marcus, Jim and Pete also offer a shoulder for Ălvaro Morata to lean on, as he followed up his first tournament goal with a shoddy miss and then got substituted. Meanwhile, France nearly lost to some unfancied but buoyant underdogs - who on Earth would do that...

It was a nothing-nothing result
Sat, 19 Jun 2021
Marcus, Luke and Pete couldn't construct any clear-cut chances in the studio, so we've left the mics on and Jack Grealish is going to have a go.
England's underwhelming performance contrasted with an impressive Scottish effort, who now have a good chance of qualifying after last night's draw. We also check in on the striking exploits of Patrik Schick and Alexander Isak, two forwards who will no doubt terrorise England later in the tournament.

Vish joins Kate and Pete back in the studio after his trip to Hampden Park, where the unbelievable atmosphere was eventually flattened by Patrik Schick's 60-yard missile. Friday's match against the Auld Enemy should be just the tonic for the Scots.

England began their first of eight consecutive victories last night, with all the electrifying dynamism you'd expect from a pre-tournament friendly half-full of squad players. Marcus, Pete and Jim are here to dial up that Euros fever a bit further.
Scotland and Wales impressed in other friendlies, despite Memphis Depay and a 25th-minute red card spoiling their respective parties.

The stars aligned and put on their respective shirts, but Unai Emery - the World's Nicest Bond Villainâą - got his hands on a fourth Europa League trophy last night at Man United's expense.
Kate, Andy and Jim pore over 21 beautifully struck penalties and David de Gea's meagre effort, before revving up the managerial merry-go-round. That's right: Zizou and Antonio Conte have left town, JĂŒrgen Klinsmann offers Spurs his services and Mauricio Pochettino may well return to the Promised Lilywhite Land. Dangerous, if you ask me...

Marcus, Jim and Vish look back on some dramatic happenings last night, where Real Madrid beat Liverpool on PES and Jude Bellingham stole our hearts.Â
We hail Toni Kroos, who is probably still playing triangles now, and consider Erling Haalandâs visit to the Etihad, where he appears to have been duped into signing for them on ÂŁ5k per week.Â
Also, Norwich are edging back towards the Premier League like a peak Daniel Farke dancing his way over to you in a nightclub and Harry Redknapp has given Eddie Howeâs move to Celtic his stamp of approval. Join us!

Elsewhere, some Roy Hodgson digs fuelled a Michy Batshuayi equaliser at Everton and we get stuck into a host of EFL action. Thereâs even time for Neil Warnockâs summer holiday plans, Uri Geller magical movements and the trickiest round of Play Your Pards Right to date â join us!

Joelinton is arisen, West Brom run riot, and Arsenal get a schooling
Mon, 05 Apr 2021
Newcastle turned in a respectable performance, but theyâve still got Big Samâs sickly breath on their necks. Yum. Kate, Pete and Jim react to a weekend full of goals as the relegation tussle goes on!
While West Brom dismantled Chelsea like they were 1970's Brazil, Scott Parker went back to the watering hole and Mike Ashley prepared to sell Newcastle as a non-fungible token.

Thu, 01 Apr 2021
Vindaloo! Vindaloo! Never in doubt. Jules, Pete and Andy are here to assess just how beyond doubt Englandâs convincing 2-1 pummelling of Poland was last night.
Elsewhere, we discuss Germanyâs astonishing defeat to North Macedonia (*rubs hands*) and Goran Pandevâs bald patch. But while Joachim Löwâs nostrils were filled with the stench of defeat, Spain coach Luis Enrique frankly didnât know what was going on after he got trapped in a lift.Â
Plus, Luiz Felipe Scolari has finally got to the bottom of why he was sacked at Chelsea, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have shown why he will almost definitely be sacked in the future. Join us!

Itâs official: Sergio AgĂŒero will be leaving Manchester City at the end of the season after a truly illustrious decade at the club. Thankfully, thereâs still plenty of time to negotiate a Christian Vieri-style contract with Barcelona to get the Twitch stream up and running.Â
Marcus, Andy and Pete hail AgĂŒero, while thereâs news that another Premier League legend wonât be going anywhere as Dwight Gayle continues his starring role in Office Space.
Elsewhere, Frank Lampard holds courts with Englandâs star-struck youngsters and we discuss the scandalous situation in the National League, which is tainting the otherwise glorious return of grassroots football. Plus, two titans go head-to-head in Portmantonio Conte.

Mason Mount continues his rise from teacherâs pet to England mainstay, while Harry Kaneâs bloodlust is as strong as ever. We also check in with our Junior Brave Boys, who continue to flourish under Aidy Boothroyd's dazzling brand of football.
But it can always be worse: just ask Ireland. We discuss Stephen Kennyâs nigh-on-impossible task of filling the inimitable big Mickâs big shoes. Thereâs also oversized goalposts in Switzerland, disappearing refs, and Pep Guardiola staring at Ilkay Gundogan while he sleeps. All in a dayâs work.

The Preview Show: The Welsh Mafia take on Arsenal, the Moyesiah returns, and a wee Aberdeen update
Fri, 12 Mar 2021
Arsenal provided a tantalising taste of the chaos to come this weekend last night. Marcus, Vish and Luke are here to put it under the spotlight - warts and all - on todayâs episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!
We discuss Chris Wilderâs mooted exit - far from ideal preparation for facing a pizza-fuelled, pint-filled Jamie Vardy on Sunday. We also look forward to West Hamâs visit to Old Trafford and Vishâs dust-up with Declan Rice â though, in any event, Man United fans will surely be comforted by the news of Avram Glazerâs latest business move.
And we go north of the border for huge developments at Aberdeen and for some reason check in with Ken Bates.

On the way, we discuss why Leeds are tapping up LL Cool J and what is being claimed to be one of the worst games of football ever played in the Bundesliga. Mustafi was involved, shock.
Thereâs also time for the worldâs most cryptic round of Portmantonio Conte, whose villainous administrators can only be rivalled by Andrea Agnelli and his insidious plans for the Champions League.

Elsewhere, we got a nostalgic reminder of safer times across the rest of the weekendâs action, with both Willian and Gareth Bale looking more like their old selves.

Elsewhere, we rue Jamail Musialaâs decision to represent Germany rather than our brave boys - when have those serial winners ever even won anything?

Man City do their parents proud, Fulham run into a strong jaw, and van Gaal defends his honour

Marcus, Andy and Vish react to Man Cityâs latest cruel display, which had our favourite football tactics pervert purring over Bernardo Silva.

Thereâs also news of the former Juventus defender who has reportedly been arrested for a very unique post-retirement activity. And speaking of retirement, Louis van Gaal has vigorously defended his honour in a very strongly-worded email. Probably a bit late for that, mate.

Jules, Jim and Andy are here after Chelseaâs clock finally struck Timo Time and David Moyes cast out those poor Sheffield United souls, thus making them available for his next doomed voyage. Elsewhere, thereâs chaos in the National League, a recent Chester FC Zoom chat took a saucy turn and the Champions League is back! Though Neymar, predictably, is not.

Man City pummel Spurs, Liverpool get a karate kick in the teeth, and Keggy turns 70
Mon, 15 Feb 2021
Like wee Willie Johnston, Man City have got their foot on the Premier Leagueâs windpipe and theyâre not taking it off.
Kate, Jim and Pete cast their eyes over an incredibly aesthetically appeasing weekend of football, ruined only by Fernandesâ dirty little shinned volley.
Elsewhere, Alisson meets his new teammate, Kevin Keegan blows out the candles and Martin Tyler comes up with his own breathy rendition of Chocolate Rain.

The Preview Show: Chelsea get the job done, Spurs enter the lionsâ den, and Jamie Vardy returns
More FA Cup malaise, some Neil Warnock pleasantries, and a toaster from Melwood
Wed, 10 Feb 2021
Jules, Luke and Vish are here off the back of two of the least interesting cup ties imaginable - where was that Magicâąïž?! Donny van de Beek struggled on as Man United laboured past West Ham, while Burnley just about got their team sheet submitted in time before losing to Bournemouth.Â
Thankfully, Neil Warnock provided some sparkle by hurling abuse from the sideline of a Middlesbrough U23s match. Meanwhile, Liverpool auctioned off various sofas and signed Roy Hodgson photos from their old training ground. Who says the magic has faded from football?

Patrick Bamford hits the century, lockdown advice from Max Kruse, and could Harry Redknapp go round again?
Man City distinguish themselves, Everton salvage a point, and Steve Bruceâs Alright Job
Mon, 08 Feb 2021
Kate, Jim and Pete are here with a title race postmortem after Man Cityâs hugely impressive win at Anfield put further distance between themselves and the chasing pack. Unsuprisingly, Roy Keane was full of that reserved, constructive criticism weâve come to expect from him after those bizarre Alisson errors.Â
We also look over some other goalfests from this weekendâs action, as Duncan Fergusonâs bear hugs injured several Everton players and Newcastle clung on to the three points that an emotionally battered Southampton tried to prize from their hands. It could be worse for Southampton, mind: we also hear of one Brazilian forward who has received an eight-game ban for whipping out a particular celebration...

The Preview Show: Mourinhoâs poor jobby, Bruce readies the cannon, and big Phil Jones is back
Fri, 05 Feb 2021
Where else to start other than in Scotland, where a Hamilton commentator set a new gold standard for football broadcasting this week.
Thankfully, Marcus, Andy and Luke are taking no such liberties on todayâs Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! We talk about the fallout from Spursâ defeat to Chelsea where there are big questions for Mourinho. But do we deserve an answer?
Elsewhere, Bruce takes his cue and readies Andy Carroll and a deep defensive block for the visit of Southampton. Plus, we bid a fond farewell to Marcos Rojo and reacquaint ourselves with an old friend.

The Seagulls are soaring, J-Lingz returns, and Sean Dycheâs lookey-likeys
Thu, 04 Feb 2021
Despite another inevitable defeat at the hands of Man City, Sean Dyche showed he is really full of surprises yesterday. Presumably heâs also full of Croydon salad, too.
Jules, Jim and Vish react to Brightonâs latest scalp, as Dan Burn ushers in a new era of incredibly lanky wingers. We also take stock of J-Lingzâs triumphant return - who better act fast if he doesn't want to lose his clothing and pistachio deals to the 8-year-old in Santos who has signed with Nike. Yep, the gameâs gone.

Southampton have done it again, Sheffield United begin the climb, and Arsenal fully lose the plot
Newcastle bounce back, Thomas Tuchel has takeoff, and an emotional title win in Brazil
Mon, 01 Feb 2021
Marcus, Jim and Vish cast their eyes over an all right weekend of football which fortunately threw in a funny named Dutch striker and some goals.
Newcastle get the lift they needed with a European Cup triumph, but Bruce is already flying high with all his fan mail. Elsewhere, Tuchel bagged his first win, but canât hug Werner into goalscoring form, while over at Leeds everyone's included in Papa Bielsa's warm embrace. Especially Kalvin Phillips, though - apparently heâs free to marry both his daughters.

Is there anything you wouldnât do if Paolo Maldini phoned up and asked? Marcus, Vish and Luke push that question to its moral edge on todayâs episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!
We also look ahead to another crammed weekend of Premier League football, as Liverpool look to follow up an impressive win against Spurs and West Brom and Fulham face off in a relegation humdinger. Thereâs even time to check in with some members of the British Managers Clubâąïž, as hovercraft captain David Moyes looks to improve his scouting options and Sam Allardyce looks to sign literally anybody.

Sheffield United plot their Great Escape, some Thomas Tuchel good vibes, and a vintage Sean Dyche performance
Thu, 28 Jan 2021
Sheffield United are now just one win away from matching Derbyâs unwanted Premier League record â but weâre dreaming bigger. Marcus, Andy and Pete are here to look over the first draft of plans for Chris Wilderâs Great Escape. Coming soon to an empty stadium near you.
Elsewhere in last nightâs Premier League, Thomas Tuchelâs stunt double gesticulated wildly from the sideline as Chelsea began their new era with a 0-0 draw. We pore over that, praise another impressive win for Burnley and celebrate a wild Gareth Southgate sighting!

David Moyes on a hovercraft, another battering for West Brom, and a Welsh legend departs
Wed, 27 Jan 2021
We can only assume that âgeniusâ doesnât mean what Pep Guardiola thinks it does, after Man City heartlessly battered Big Samâs struggling West Brom. Marcus, Vish and Jim are here to pick up the pieces after that demolition on todayâs episode of the Ramble!
Elsewhere, there is due praise reserved for West Ham manager and hovercraft captain David Moyes, as they move up to fourth on the back of yet more unsung brilliance. We also check in on two of the gameâs defending stalwarts - as a Russian activist tried to disguise himself as Daniel Agger and Welsh legend Ashley Williams hangs up his boots - before picking through Newcastleâs latest underwhelming performance.

Man United edge out a thriller, freaky desires at Man City, and Newcastle continue to plummet
Mon, 25 Jan 2021
It seems this weekendâs Magic of The Cupâąïž was all crammed into a cracking game at Old Trafford, with Man United edging out Liverpool thanks to more Bruno Fernandes wizardry.Â
Jules, Jim and Pete are here to revel in that glorious game and look across the rest of the weekendâs results, as Man City beat a spirited Cheltenham Town and Southampton knocked out holders Arsenal. Away from the FA Cup, Newcastle maintained their alarming slide down the table and Fenerbahçe are seemingly crowdfunding Mesut Ăzilâs wages, because thatâs just the world we live in nowâŠ

Kate, Luke and Andy are here to sniff out some of that Magic of The Cupâąïž on todayâs episode of the Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!
Liverpool travel to Man United for round two of this seasonâs most boring rivalry, after JĂŒrgen Klopp survived a prickly encounter with a gleeful Sean Dyche last night. We also wonder how two Davids will fare against their respective Goliaths, as Cheltenham Town host Man City and Chorley face Wolves on their terrifying pitch of doom. Oh, and this summerâs multi-venue Euro 2020 is in jeopardy - because of course it is.

James Maddison walks the walk, David Moyes dares to dream, and cryptocurrency transfers

Despite Leicester creeping towards the fabled verge, James Maddison was quick to pour blackcurrant cordial over the fires of their title challenge after a cracking win against Chelsea. Join Kate, Vish and Pete as we revel in another dose of that Brendan Rodgers magic!
West Ham piled more misery on Big Sam with their win over West Brom last night, which left David Moyes dreaming and Vish lighting the official âMichail Antonio for the Eurosâ beacon. We also hear of footballâs first transfer funded entirely by bitcoin - Michael Owen was not involved - as well as Diego Costa WhatsApping his CV and wage demands to every manager in the land.

Mesut Ăzil bids farewell, Steve Bruceâs unanswered questions, and Fizzer keeps the roof blazinâ
Tue, 19 Jan 2021
Marcus, Vish and Andy are here to say their heartfelt goodbyes to a few stalwarts of English Football and look over the entirely expected and underwhelming spectacle that was Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle.Â
First on the plane is Mesut Ăzil, who closes off his messy final chapter at Arsenal with his expected move to Fenerbahçe. We wonder how he'll be remembered at Arsenal, who cast further doubt over Steve Bruceâs masterplan at Newcastle last night. Thereâs also time to party in the city where the heat is on, as Phil Nevilleâs on South Beach until the break of dawn: heâs taking charge of Inter Miami! Danny Drinkwater and Jack Wilshere also look for new starts at KasımpaĆa and Bournemouth respectively.

Man United and Liverpool share the spoils, another sneaky Leicester victory, and a vital win for Big Sam
Mon, 18 Jan 2021
The wildly hyped clash at the top of the table failed to deliver much excitement, with both Man United and Liverpool happy with a point apiece. Marcus, Pete and Jim are here to round up that game as well as a load more Premier League action on todayâs episode of the Ramble - join us!Â
Elsewhere, Leicester crept back towards the verge with a win at Southampton and West Brom got a vital win over struggling Wolves. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also recounts Pep Guardiolaâs emotional departure from Bayern, while Steve Bruce insists the gloves are off and heâs âdoing it his wayâ â which makes us wonder exactly whose (infuriating) way itâs been up to this pointâŠ

Sundayâs Liverpool vs Man United will be a huge game for everyone except Jason McAteer, who is currently fronting the latest media assault on Ole Gunnar SolskjĂŠrâs boys. Elsewhere, Leicester have been having a jolly old time of late, with Jamie Vardy pausing his Ibiza plans for some of Brendan Rodgersâ trust workshops. We also hear some alarming revelations from Mark Clattenburg and bid a fond farewell to Chelsea stalwart Lucas Piazon, who left the club after one league appearance in a decade.

Elsewhere, Chris Wilder plans a lovely night in with his wife after the Bladesâ wait comes to an end. It was another car crash for Brucey, but itâs all right: David Ginola has stated his intention to come and save the day.
Plus, a particularly hazardous edition of Portmantonio Conte and news that Uncle Avram could be returning to Stamford Bridge.

Crawley Town had their eyes firmly on The Narrative this weekend, as they rounded off a comprehensive win over Premier League entertainers Leeds by bringing on a reality TV star for his debut. And who says the magic of the Cup is gone?!
Jules, Jim and Vish are here to round up the rest of the weekendâs FA Cup action, as non-league Chorley brushed aside Derby County's kids and Aston Villaâs academy put on an impressive display against Liverpool. We also saw supervillain Carlos Vinicius raise the council tax in the Merseyside area, Big Samâs struggles continue and a Brighton fan up a tree in Newport.

We look ahead to the pick of the bunch - Marine vs Spurs - where Mourinho might have a special invitation while nearby residents could have a very much uninvited ball smashing in through their window.Â

Man City battle to another final, Mick McCarthy packs his suitcase, and a royal rumble in Antwerp
Thu, 07 Jan 2021
Kate, Luke and Vish look back on last nightâs Manchester derby, where Pepâs City Rollers (one for the youngsters) cruised to a fourth straight League Cup final.
But while Pep and John Stones got dizzy on that sweet, sweet Carabao, it was an all too familiar sinking feeling for Man United and Vish in his bedroom fort. We also pay homage to Mick McCarthy after his latest sacking at APOEL Nicosia - and even more so to poor Jack Byrne. But itâs all good, because Fizzer has been head-hunted for an ambiguous âroleâ at Inter Miami.Â
And, of course, we address the giant, Belgian elephant in the room and give our assessment of the most unorthodox attempt to secure a transfer we have ever seen.

Southampton best Kloppâs men, the Raymond Domenech circus, and Thomas MĂŒllerâs sperm factory
Tue, 05 Jan 2021
We have a title race people. Maybe. Kate, Jim and Andy look back on last nightâs action, as Southampton set Man United pulses racing and a teary Alpine Klopp reached new heights.Â
Elsewhere, once Kate grasped the concept of FIFA, there's more glorious football video game glitches and nostalgia (especially for goal machine Brian Plank). The gang also turn to Europe, where Raymond Domenech got a nasty surprise at his first Nantes training session.Â
We also ask: who wants to become a sperm millionaire? Thomas MĂŒller, thatâs who.

On today's Best Of episode we return to the dizzy heights of Neil Warnock's carefully planned BBQs, Jules' dislike of a rug and the infamous debut of the Carrot Eating Challenge.

Jules, Luke, Jim and Vish are in the festive mood today as we discuss helping our families with the Christmas cooking, watching the likes of Lewes and Gosport Borough on Boxing Day and navigating that dreaded post-lunch slump. Luke also brings some festive frivolity in the form of a few bizarre games for each of his co-hosts. Game on!

Merry Christmas one and all! You might remember our little chat with a certain Sven-Göran Eriksson back in September. Well, that was far from all.Â
For this very special Ramble MeetsâŠ, Marcus, Luke and Jim chat with the former England manager and a true Ramble legend about all sorts: from Svenâs somewhat hapless playing career, to the Ivory Coast national teamâs song about him, to what exactly happened in that 2002 World Cup quarter-final against Brazil. And, of course, we quiz him about his true retirement plans.

Marcus, Andy and Vish are back for The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!
Itâs crunch time in the Premier League as Oleâs boys head to Leicester for a 'who can leave the ball in the centre circle the longest' competition. Remarkably, Maguire has played the most football of any player in world football - ideal preparation for a Boxing Day afternoon with Vards.
Elsewhere, Arsenal welcome Chelsea, and recent form suggests they will be very hospitable indeed. Plus, Norwegian manager Egil Olsen has chosen a very special name for his mutt, and Big Sam gets ready for his first wind-up as Warnock valiantly comes to his defence.

Leeds and Crystal Palace received these respective pastings, but werenât the only sides on the end of tough losses this weekend. Sheffield United were denied their first win of the season by 'Dat Guy' Danny Welbeck, while neutrals were denied any kind of enjoyment by Spurs 0-2 Leicester. We also review Big Samâs return and check in on the latest manager in the hottest of managerial hot seats down at Watford.

Liverpool best Mourinhoâs men, another quiet evening at Elland Road, and Big Sam is back
Thu, 17 Dec 2020
Jules is back in the building! And she is joined today by Jim and Vish to chew the fat after an action-packed Wednesday night in the Premier League.
Mourinho dusted off some 2005 cue cards after Liverpool snatched a win over Spurs at the death. Over at Elland Road, while Bielsaâs bovril was tasty, the goals were even tastier as Leeds put Newcastle to the sword. Meanwhile, though thereâs a brief respite from Arsenal pain for Jim, Arteta is asking people to hit him.Â
And of course, West Brom fans look towards a bright new future.

West Brom hold Man City, speedy Wolves undo Chelsea, and how to kidnap the Real Madrid team
Dropped points for the big sides, a great result for Fulham, and Newcastle get back on the horse
Mon, 14 Dec 2020
It seems nobody was fussed about taking advantage of all those dropped points in the Premier League this weekend. Marcus, Jim and Pete are here to look back on a host of results, reminding us that form is temporary and class...is now also temporary.
Fulham were hugely impressive in their draw with Liverpool, as Scott Parkerâs dulcet tones left JĂŒrgen Klopp hot under the collar. Elsewhere, Arsenal continued to embarrass themselves, Everton fended off Chelsea and Newcastle piled more misery on Slaven BiliÄ and West Brom. Join us for all that and a bucketload besides!

Fri, 11 Dec 2020
Marcus, Luke and Vish look ahead to a weekend full of Premier League barn-burners in a brand new episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!
First under the Ramble magnifying glass is the Manchester derby, as Fizzer whispers up in support of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and John Stones has finally stopped playing with fire.
Elsewhere, Christian Pulisic is aware of his hamstrings ahead of Chelsea vs Everton, while Gabriel Agbonlahor has an interesting theory for why James Rodriguez hasnât been cutting it. Weâre sceptical, to say the least. And, of course, thereâs also a huge round of Lukeâs Game with the title belt on the line!

Liverpool relish the joys of a Danish winter, Edersonâs strong right hook, and Sheffield Unitedâs plight
Thu, 10 Dec 2020
It was another veritable carnival of VAR in the Champions League for Liverpool last night. What a way to spoil a perfectly good meaningless group stage game, eh?Â
Kate, Vish and Luke chat about all of last nightâs action as ex-Pompey player Brian Priske steers Midtjylland to another point and AgĂŒero gets back in the goals.Â
Elsewhere, we discuss the news that everyone at City is terrified of Ederson and ask why everything is going wrong at Sheffield United.

Elsewhere, the game between PSG and Istanbul Basaksehir is abandoned amid allegations of racism, Qatar look to move themselves into the heart of Europe, and El Diego might be about to get the eulogy he presumably would have wanted.

Goodbye El Diego, Atalanta punish Liverpool, and Manchester City are back in the knockouts
Thu, 26 Nov 2020
Diego, thank you for the memories. Join Kate, Andy and Jim as we look back on all that made the man great: his flaws, his wonderful vindictive streak, his belly slides, and the incredible things he could do with a football. Itâs a very special Diego Corner indeed.
Elsewhere, football goes on and we spend some time on a difficult night for Liverpool - who suffered their heaviest home defeat under JĂŒrgen Klopp. Plus, Sergio ReguilĂłn has been given a ham for his good work on Sunday and Brendy Rodgers has reportedly been jiving to Tina Turner.

Chelsea march into the Champions League knockouts, Manchester United get revenge, and Steve McClaren is back in business
Wed, 25 Nov 2020
After a bit of a falling out over who was sitting where in the studio this morning - Emmanuel Dennis style - Marcus, Andy and Pete have made peace for Shteve McClarenâs sake.
We reflect on a return to form in the Champions League for Manchester United and doff our caps to Olivier Giroudâs towering header that clinched Chelseaâs knockout spot. Plus, Pete has a new game - or punishment - for Andy, and we explain why some pilots in Russia have drawn something naughty with their plane to support Zenit striker Artem Dzyuba.

Tue, 24 Nov 2020
Football fans: welcome back to your happy place! Alan Pardew: welcome to the army!
Jules, Jim and Luke are here to celebrate the scheduled return of (some) football fans to stadiums and the prospect of some normality. It was certainly back to normality for Burnley last night, as they ground out a win in a 1-0 classic, while the 80s detectives derby saw Theo Walcott bag a goal for Southampton.
Elsewhere, a 9-year-old applies for the Derby job yet is somehow still more qualified than Pards, and Neil Warnock has been headhunted for Iâm A Celebrity. Please make it happen. Join us!

Thu, 19 Nov 2020
That was more like it, wasnât it? England cruise past Iceland as Phil Foden and Jack Grealish turn on the style. Not that Jules, Vish and Jim allow themselves to get carried away, of course.
Elsewhere, Wales secure a dream promotion to the top tier of the Nations League and Kieffer Moore looks really happy about it, while Scotland go down to Israel but will definitely still boogie on.

Away from the Nations League, we hear of Antonio Conteâs astute predictions while he was Chelsea manager and take a tour through Liverpoolâs creepy new training ground. Thereâs also time for Ben Fosterâs latest online venture, as his lovely YouTube videos have been met with a measured mix of delight and tentative questions around broadcast rightsâŠ

Thatâs it, then. Itâs all over: England are out of the Nations League. Dry your eyes, mate - Marcus, Andy and Jim are here to conduct the post-mortem.Â
England's tentative performance against Belgium saw Jack Grealish impress yet again, but few else were able to stake a meaningful claim for inclusion. We also look over the rest of the weekendâs Nations League action as Scotlandâs unbeaten run ended while Walesâ rolls on.Â

The chaps also talk about footballâs troubling connection to dementia after news that 30 former Premier League players have signed up to a study examining early signs of the disease.

Southampton climb up the table, Gareth Bale gets off the mark, and Mick McCarthyâs back in business

Each Premier League match seems to be falling into one of two categories: âchaotic goal-festâ or âtedious, dull nonsenseâ. Join Jules, Luke and Pete on todayâs episode as we sort through this weekendâs games.
Southamptonâs annihilation of Aston Villa certainly fits into the former category, as free-kick extraordinaire James Ward-Prowse showed his class. Man United vs Arsenal, though a great win for the Gunners, was a decidedly torrid affair. We get into those, plus Newcastleâs win over Everton and Mick McCarthyâs new gig, in an action-packed edition of the Football Ramble!

Marcus Rashford can do it all! Last night, he took a break from his admirable social activism to knock a quick hat-trick past RB Leipzig in the Champions League. Marcus, Pete and Andy are here to look over an impressive United performance that was overshadowed by another sartorial swerve from Leipzig coach, Julian Nagelsmann.
Elsewhere, Chelsea return from Krasnodar with three points and a first goal for Hakim Ziyech as Roman Abramovich watched on. We also speculate whatâs next for Jack Wilshere and hear of some truly bizarre match preparation from lower down the pyramid.

We kick things off with chat about how a strikerless Man City despatched Marseille and an injury-stricken Liverpool beat FC Midtjylland. We also look over the FAâs new diversity code that aims to improve representation in the higher echelons of English football.Â
Meanwhile, Barcelona president Josep Bartomeu leaves in a typically understated fashion - by apparently signing up to both a European Super League and an expanded Club World Cup. ClassyâŠ

Weâre revisiting a modern classic on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. To discuss a game that followed a fantastical narrative, we brought on an equally excellent storyteller â director of âDiego Maradonaâ, Asif Kapadia!

But Jurgen Klopp stood by his tactical beliefs and, after Divock Origi tapped home after just seven minutes, the inexorable tide began to turn. Then the corner was taken quicklyâORIGI!

The Blizzard: American Samoa 2-1 Tonga, 2011
Sat, 25 Jul 2020
Imagine losing all thirty of the games you've played as an international side, losing by a combined score of 229-12 as well as sitting bottom of the FIFA rankings.

On today's episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, globetrotting author James Montague joins us to discuss that very team. In 2011, Thomas Rongen took over a side with "the lowest footballing IQ he'd ever seen" and players with emotional scars from a long line of relentless losses. Against all the odds, they somehow won their first-ever competitive game against Tonga in a 2011 World Cup qualifier - with James among the 20 people in attendance!

Liverpool are honoured again, Newcastle lay down for Man City, and orange cards in La Liga
Thu, 09 Jul 2020
Kate, Luke and Jim are here to ask; do the champions always get a corridor of applause from everyone once theyâve won the league? Frankly we canât remember, but then thereâs a lot of stuff weâve forgotten about since the world stopped making sense, like that Eric Dier crowd thing.
On the various pitches Liverpool walked through their corridor and all over Brighton, James Tarkowski got away with one against West Ham and Man City put five past a Newcastle team who seemed to be having out of body experiences where they were on a beach rather than at the Etihad.
Elsewhere we examine the MLS Fyre Festival controversy, the sudden introduction of a new type of card in La Liga and the Bezification of in game crowd noise.Â

Jules, Pete and Jim are here to discuss football. All the football. SO much football, and so much GOOD football!Â
Chelsea came out on top of a five goal thriller at Crystal Palace, Watford overcame Norwich with Danny Welbeck scoring while upside down and Arsenal and Leicester drew after some good old VAR drama. Who doesnât love that? Everyone.Â
Thereâs also big news from IFAB, with a possible extension of the five substitutes malarkey, the indefatigable Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Neil Warnock riding his bike around Middlesbrough in training gear. Of course heâs been doing that.Â

Son vs Lloris, a League One penalty masterclass, and Joey Bartonâs vanity glasses

Southampton survive Man Cityâs siege, Arsenal show maturity, and Jamie Vardy joins the 100 Club
Mon, 06 Jul 2020
There was no need for Southampton vs Man City to be a crazy, backs-to-the-wall thriller â but what a game it was!Â
After an understandably sluggish start football seems to have found its groove. Marcus, Andy and Jim also look back over Arsenalâs impressive win over Wolves, Man Unitedâs vintage demolition of Bournemouth and, of course, consider which of Jurgen Klopp or Pep Guardiola youâd prefer to fight.
We also check in with some record-breakers as Jamie Vardy, Sergio Ramos, and Gigi Buffon all continue to defy the concept of ageing!

The Blizzard: Uruguay 1-1 Ghana (4-2 pens), 2010
Sat, 04 Jul 2020
It is almost ten years to the day since one of the most dramatic matches in World Cup history unfolded on a raucous night in Johannesburg. BBC 5 Live commentator Conor McNamara joins us to look back at the iconic clash between Ghana and Uruguay on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard!
The hopes of a continent, and probably every neutral around the world, rested on a Ghanaian side that took on Uruguay and their fearsome attacking talent for a place in the semi-finals. Two goals either side of half time set up an extra-time period unlike any other, with Luis SuĂĄrez at his infamous worst â all set to the pulsating drone of 84,000 vuvuzelas.

We also give Kate some stick for a calamitous Spurs performance, look ahead to some tasty weekend fixtures and, two years on, remember England's penalty shoot-out bliss. Lovely stuff.

Leicester slip up, West Ham ensure Chelsea can't capitalise, and Bournemouth are doomed
Thu, 02 Jul 2020
Nobody wants to secure qualification for Europe, do they?! Jules, Andy and Vish are in situ to pore over last nightâs Premier League matches, as Chelsea failed to capitalise on Leicesterâs defeat at Everton and climb to third in the table. We also praise another impressive performance from Newcastle, particularly from star man and Twitter legend Allan Saint-Maximin, after a 4-1Â result that probably sealed Bournemouthâs fate.Â

Brilliant Bruno Fernandes, Joe Hartâs next steps, and steampunk church-gazing

Weâre gradually coming to terms with Man United being a prominent force again, with todayâs episode further evidence of that. Jules, Pete and Luke are here to rave about Bruno Fernandesâ pivotal impact since his arrival after Unitedâs 3-0 win at Brighton last night.
We also wonder whatâs next for former England goalkeeper Joe Hart, celebrate the mind-boggling genius of Lionel Messi and wonder how Leicester can regain some intensity. Thereâs even time for a round of Peteâs new game, âGuess That Football Noiseâ (itâs a working title).

Despite the fallout from Diego Maradonaâs drug ban casting a shadow over their tournament, this enviable Argentina team and cohort of Romanian superstars were probably the tournamentâs two best sides. We revel in the chaotic game that unfolded between them, featuring cracking goals from Eastern European football royalty and technical quality that belied the sweltering heat in Pasadena.

Wed, 24 Jun 2020
The Premier League ainât stopping, and neither are we! Jules Breach, Luke Moore and Vithushan Ehantharajah are back with another episode of the Football Ramble, as this festival of summer football continues.
On todayâs show, we begin by reflecting on Tottenhamâs distinctly underwhelming win over West Ham. Vish was there in the press box and talks us through the procedures involved for the visiting press and the peculiarities of reporting on a turgid game in an empty stadium. We also discuss Brightonâs hard-earned point at Leicester, as the Foxesâ faltering performances before lockdown seem to continue. And, much like two cartoon TV villains returning for yet another season, we celebrate the return of Neil Warnock and ponder Arsenalâs decision to hastily announce David Luizâs contract extension.

Tariq, Marcus and Jonathan reminisce about an error-ridden match where Turkey looked certain to go out as the game unfolded and Croatian pressure started to mount. Drama late in extra-time, a chaotic penalty shoot-out and a frantic battle to get to a European Championship semi-final ensured this was truly a game to remember.

In Manchester the follically barren charlatan Pep Guardiola got one over on former assistant Mikel Arteta after a trademark David Luiz implosion, while at Villa Park Sheffield United can count themselves incredibly unlucky after goal line technology was revealed to have a blind spot, something that hasnât been uncovered in over 9,000 games thus far.Â
We also had time to look at the imperious dominance of the Bayern Munich machine, more cardboard cutout fun and a certain somebodyâs gluttonous birthday plans.

The Blizzard: England 2-0 Scotland, 1996
Sat, 13 Jun 2020
A few days ahead of the gameâs 24th anniversary, comedian Mark Watson joins us to remember one of Englandâs most iconic victories on todayâs episode of the Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard.Â
As Jonathan frantically scrambled from a university exam to catch the game, Terry Venablesâ England side prepared for a crucial game in Group A of Euro 96. After the infamous night out in Hong Kong ahead of the tournament, then the disappointing 1-1 draw with Switzerland in the opening game, a win was crucial for the hosts. Mark, Jonathan and Marcus revel in their heady memories of a glorious summer of football â perhaps best encapsulated by Paul Gascoigneâs moment of genius as he nonchalantly flicks the ball over Colin Hendryâs head and smashes it home. Magical stuff.Â

The Preview Show: Transfer Tinder, Mikel Artetaâs âstrangeâ return to Man City and Shaquille OâNeal
Fri, 12 Jun 2020
Itâs not just the Premier League thatâs returning next week but also the Premier League narrative. Mikel Arteta is preparing to return to The Etihad to face old boss Pep Guardiola and we are all EXCITED. West Ham are getting ready too, with a massive mosaic. To whom will this mammoth task fall? Is it not vulnerable to mischief making? So many questions need answering.Â
Leagues One and Two have voted to end their season so we have lots to say about that, while also taking in a surprise visit from Shaquille OâNeal and having a lovely chat about Sir Les Ferdinand flirting with Juventus on footballâs new dating app.Â
We also have an open top plane update from a listener and Uncle Pete tells us about his camera roll, memories of a particular sideboard and the DĆtonbori riverâs sinister Curse of the Colonel.

Fantasy Five-a-Side: Nick Bright
Wed, 10 Jun 2020
In all honestly, the dream line-up for this weekâs episode of Fantasy Five-a-Side might be the hardest, most unforgiving bunch of tyrants you could ever assemble.Â
Nick Bright, DJ on BBC 1Xtra and 5 Live, joins Jim Campbell to talk him through a five-a-side squad that would strike fear into any opposition at your local Powerleague. It features an otherwise stoic goalkeeper - who became a rampant madman on the pitch - a couple of beautifully graceful thugs from the continent and, thankfully, an affable Arsenal legend up top.

Tue, 09 Jun 2020
With the Premier Leagueâs return just over a week away, we discuss the final moving pieces of Project Restart on todayâs episode of Jules & Andy!
We acknowledge some of the questions that still need answers, including clubs deciding what to do with their fansâ season ticket money and how players will manage any injury worries after their prolonged break.

The Ramble: Celebration Cam, a Champions League mini-tournament and the inspirational Brendan Rodgers
At The Match Revisited: Dortmund 2-0 Freiburg, 2018
Sun, 07 Jun 2020
With football across the continent gradually returning, we've been using its absence to look back over some of our favourite episodes of At The Match. Join Andy Brassell as he immerses himself in some of football's best atmospheres, speaking to those closest to the club in the stands and the boardroom.
With the Bundesliga taking centre stage in recent weeks, today's retrospective episode takes us to Westfalenstadion, home of Borussia Dortmund, to sample perhaps the best atmosphere around. Andy speaks to Jens Weber of schwatzgelb.de about the international attraction of BVB and how that's received by the fans, just why JĂŒrgen Klopp was made for the club and the unity between rival fans against the authorities' plans to encroach on their matchday experience.

The Blizzard: Bologna 2-0 Inter, 1964
Sat, 06 Jun 2020
Weâre looking back at one of the most infamous seasons in Serie A history on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Writer and musician Dan Carney joins us to discuss the 1964 title-deciding playoff between Inter and Bologna!
Nobody would have expected Bologna to be challenging for the Serie A title at the start of the 1963/64 season, since their previous title came in 1941, while Helenio Herreraâs famous Grande Inter side was among the favourites. What followed was an era-defining Serie A title race, featuring drug scandals and points deductions, that ended in Inter and Bologna finishing on the same points. There was only one thing for it: a championship tie-breaker at Romeâs Stadio Olimpico!

On The Continent: Numerous Bundesliga protests and football returns to Portugal
Thu, 04 Jun 2020
Weâve got all your continental queries covered on today's episode of On The Continent, as Luke Moore and Andy Brassell guide you through the biggest stories in European football.
We begin with the protests by the likes of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Thuram and Achraf Hakimi around the killing of George Floyd and the wider Black Lives Matter movement. As footballâs governing bodies vocalise their support for the protests, we wonder whether this is a tipping point for playersâ social activism and football publicising wider social issues.
Thereâs also plenty of on-pitch action to get stuck into, as Portugalâs Primeira Liga has started up again! We discuss league leaders Portoâs transfer plans and their shock loss to FamalicĂŁo, as well as the latest updates from Spain and Italy regarding their return.Â

Jules & Andy: The Championship gets a return date, and players' social activism
Tue, 02 Jun 2020
With Jules unwell this week, Andy Brassell welcomes fellow Football Ramble Daily host Marcus Speller, along with a couple of great guests, to today's episode of Jules & Andy!
With the EFL setting a return date for the Championship, many clubs have raised concerns about the lack of preparation time and dialogue between themselves and the league. We welcome TalkSPORT's EFL commentator, Ian Danter, to the show to discuss the league's international appeal and what reassurances clubs across the league are asking for.
Then, with various players voicing their support for the family of George Floyd and the wider Black Lives Matter movement, we speak to The Independent's Melissa Reddy about Jadon Sancho's display of activism after his debut hat-trick and why younger players across Europe are far more engaged in highlighting social issues than their predecessors.

Pierre-Emile joins Andy Brassell from Denmark to discuss his fledgeling, but already impressive, career.

FRD Book Club: Soccernomics, Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanski
Sun, 31 May 2020
Weâre here to supply with you with the tools to win any football argument on todayâs episode of FRDâs Book Club, as we take a look at Simon Kuper and Stefan Szymanskiâs âSoccernomicsâ!
This project has taken on a life of its own since it was first published in 2009; the book and its data-driven analysis are continually updated in subsequent editions, with some theories proven and others revised within the context of the modern game. Kate Mason, Andy Brassell and Luke Moore pull their respective editions from their shelves and sit down to discuss some of the entertaining anecdotes from the book and the wider discussion around statisticsâ place in football discourse â and we also hear from Simon Kuper himself about the process involved in continually updating what may prove to be a lifeâs work.

The Blizzard: Barnsley 2-4 Ipswich, 2000
Sat, 30 May 2020
This weekend marks the 20th anniversary of the fantastic First Division play-off Final thatâs the subject of todayâs Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Geneticist, author and broadcaster Adam Rutherford joins us to discuss Barnsley 2-4 Ipswich, the last club game at the old Wembley!
After Ipswich were knocked out in the three previous play-off semi-finals, they arrived at a Wembley on the back of a 7-5 aggregate win over Bolton in the semi-finals. They mustâve worried misfortune would strike again after just six minutes into the final, as a Richard Wright own goal put Barnsley ahead. But, on the back of some classy technical operators that had impressed all season, Ipswich pulled it back, with Adam and all his family cheering on in the sunshine.Â

On The Continent: Bayern fend off Dortmund's challenge and La Liga plans its return
Weâre back with the second part of our extended Ramble Meets⊠interview with former Liverpool, Fulham and England midfielder Danny Murphy! On todayâs episode, we rejoin Dannyâs story when he left Charlton and joined Martin Jolâs Tottenham.
Danny talks to Luke about how the initial differences with Jol gave way to problems in his family life that ultimately hampered his career in North London. He then swapped North for West, joining Fulham, and they reminisce about the club's journey to reach the 2009/10 Europa League final under Roy Hodgson. They also discuss what itâs like challenging a manager whose philosophy isnât working, wonder whether he could have achieved more and remember Clint Dempseyâs unbelievable reaction to being told heâd been dropped on the day of that Europa League final.

Jules & Andy: The psychological strain on professional players, and updates from the Football league & WSL
Tue, 26 May 2020
Your favourite duo on Football Ramble Daily are back with a brand new episode, as we get stuck into the latest news during these unprecedented times.
We begin by speaking to psychiatrist Dr. Tim Rogers, who counts a number of professional footballers among his clients, about the mental strain professional players are currently under and their worries around future finances and employment. We then discuss some updates from the Football League, where many smaller clubs are in a precarious financial state as they try to finalise plans for the rest of their seasons. We also look back on some of our favourite moments from the WSL season - which was curtailed this week - and discuss the clubs' hopes for if/how standings may be finalised.

Mon, 25 May 2020
The Bundesliga continues to deliver, with positive results for all of our beloved teams - Borussia Dortmund, Hertha Berlin, Bayer Leverkusen and FC Koln - as well as big wins for Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. Such merciful release.Â
Back in rumourland Mauricio Pochettino is making it clear that heâd be happy to manage in the Premier League again and those Rafa Benitez to Newcastle rumours just arenât going away.Â
Elsewhere we saw many pleasing examples of footballers with lockdown hair, thereâs some confusing talk about kestrels and we review Goal 3. Oh. Goal 3. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.Â

At The Match Revisited: Sunderland 3-0 Southend Utd, 2018
Sun, 24 May 2020
As domestic football's return gradually takes shape, we're taking a look back at some of our favourite episodes of At The Match from the last few seasons, where Andy Brassell samples some of the best football atmospheres around.
On today's episode, fellow Football Ramble Daily host Jonathan Wilson joins Andy as he heads north for a chilly autumnal afternoon Stadium of Light. Andy sits down with David Rose, the FSFâs deputy chief executive and lifelong Sunderland fan, to discuss the improved relationship between the owners and supporters, and what the Red and White Army supporters group are doing in the local community. We also hear from Peter Daykin on why life outside the Premier League isn't as disheartening as one might imagine.

The Blizzard: Manchester United 2-1 Bayern Munich, 1999
Sat, 23 May 2020
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, we remember one of the most iconic Champions League finals of the modern era. Weâre joined by celebrated commentator Clive Tyldesley, who was in the gantry for the game at the Camp Nou, to discuss the 1999 Champions League final!Â
Manchester Unitedâs victory over Bayern Munich ended English football's long wait since their last continental triumph. It also sealed the treble for United that, rather than through imperious dominance, was won via a series of ridiculous comebacks across the season. Bayern themselves produced a remarkable comeback in their semi-final against Dynamo Kyiv and, with five minutes to go, looked to have written their name on the trophy. Clive joins us to discuss his experience of commentating on this iconic match where, with the introduction of Ole Gunnar SolskjĂŠr and the pressure building, the seemingly inevitable happened.Â

Luke Moore and Andy Brassell are in situ and kick things off with a look back at Dortmundâs win over Schalke. We discuss David Wagnerâs difficult job to get this Schalke side into shape, as well as trying to unravel the complicated situation around goalkeepers Markus Schubert and Alex NĂŒbel. Thereâs even time for a look ahead to this weekendâs Berlin derby.
Elsewhere we discuss some continental transfer rumours, including Juventus midfielder Miralem PjaniÄ's potential move to Barcelona and Romaâs reported interest in Moise Kean, and worry about Marseille as they continue to sail through choppy waters!Â

Ramble Meets... Danny Murphy (Part 1)
Wed, 20 May 2020
Join us for the first of a two-part Ramble Meets⊠special, as Luke sits down with former Liverpool, Fulham and England midfielder Danny Murphy!
In part one, Danny reminisces about his journey from cleaning the first team's boots at Crewe when he was 16 to moving to Liverpool and establishing himself in the first-team squad. From thinking he was the victim of a wind-up when Kenny Dalglish first phoned him, to struggling with believing in himself after he moved from impressing at Crewe to training alongside some of the countryâs best players, Danny leaves no stone unturned in a fascinating and revealing interview.

Jules & Andy: Working at the Bundesliga's return, and players return to training
Tue, 19 May 2020
With the Bundesliga playing its first round of matches in ten weeks, and the Premier League refining the details of âProject Restartâ, we discuss the significant differences from normality on todayâs episode of Jules & Andy. Cologne-based journalist Archie Rhind-Tutt joins us to reveal what it was like to report from Eintracht Frankfurt, as press access was restricted and social distancing rules were firmly applied.Â
We then turn our attentions to the Premier League, as clubs unanimously decided to allow individual training to resume this week. We discuss the effect this will have on the players and wonder how much lead time they will really need before full matches can be played, which look to be a possibility at some point in June.Â

The Ramble: Football returns, premium mannequins and naughty Lacazette
Mon, 18 May 2020
The Bundesligaâs return to action was a strange but very welcome success this weekend, with Erling Braut Haland particularly unfazed by recent events or seemingly anything.Â
Football is also back in South Korea, but that wasnât whatâs been making the headlines due FC Seoulâs decision to fill their stands with âpremium mannequinsâ, which look a lot like sex dolls. Oh no.
In Scotland Celtic may soon be crowned champions, in Italy Mauricio âSmoky Mauriceâ Sarriâs habit may be even worse than we thought and here in England we have some tips to help Steve from last week get his ball back.
Then thereâs Goal 2. Uuuuuugh.

At The Match Revisited: LAFC 2-2 Vancouver Whitecaps, 2018
Sun, 17 May 2020
We're packing up our metaphorical bags and jetting off with Andy Brassell for another episode of At The Match Revisited, as we take a look back at a time when we could get out and enjoy world football's best atmospheres.
Today, Andy heads to Los Angeles to watch LAFC in their inaugural MLS season. He meets up with Jose Salcedo of the District 9 Ultras, plus 3252 members Karla Villaseñor and Sam Ko, to discuss why being in downtown Los Angeles is crucial, and why - even though their local rivals had Zlatan IbrahimoviÄ at the time - they donât envy the Galaxy. Then, join Andy out on the terraces as Will Ferrell leads the chanting and he basks in the amazing and authentic terrace atmosphere that this young club has managed to create.

The Blizzard: Torino 5-3 Atalanta, 1947
Sat, 16 May 2020
We look back at one of the famous sides of post-war Europe on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Journalist and author Dominic Bliss joins us to discuss the Grande Torino side and their 5-3 win over Atalanta in the 1946/47 Serie A season.
After managing Torino in 1939, Jewish coach ErnĆ Egri Erbstein had to return to Hungary as the Second World War begun. He saw no alternative but to volunteer himself to work in fascist labour camps to try and survive â after six torturous years where he and his family endured the worst of the Hungarian holocaust, he managed to escape the camp and stay alive. After the war ended, he returned to Torino and coached a side that had won two Serie A titles since his departure, on the back of his central European counter-attacking football that was so prevalent at the time. Dominic joins us to discuss Erbsteinâs remarkable life, his return to Turin and his place among the pantheon of great Hungarian coaches.

The Preview Show: The Bundesliga is almost back, Jose Mourinhoâs pantomime continues and Harry Kane puts his hand in his pocket
Fri, 15 May 2020
Weâre so close to football! The Premier League watches on with interest as the Bundesliga returns with potential lessons for our own Project Restart. It could be June, with a list of âcultural changesâ implemented. Weâre not sure who is implementing them, but there are definitely a few people weâd like to see kept away from that process. Â
There are also rumours, since denied, that Jose Mourinho has been trying to derail the whole thing as he continues his transformation into a Bond villain, Harry Kane being a lovely chap and a desperate plea from a listener who asks the age old question; can I have my ball back?

Itâs finally here. Sure, one of the biggest derbies in world football will be played out in front of an empty stadium and thereâs still the general unease around this era-defining global pandemic, but itâs here. On todayâs episode of On The Continent, we preview this weekendâs European football!Â
With the Bundesliga returning on Saturday, Luke Moore and Andy Brassell are here to give you a thorough rundown of the league, including the teams fighting for the title and those hoping to escape relegation. We discuss Bayernâs improvements under Hansi Flick, the exciting look of Bayer Leverkusen and the difficulties in Werder Bremen relying on 41-year-old Claudio Pizarro to save them from relegation. Elsewhere in Europe, we wonder if Ligue 1 really is finished and assess the state of Portuguese football, as it looks set to return in the coming weeks.Â

Fantasy Five-a-Side: Jacob Hawley
Wed, 13 May 2020
On today's episode of Fantasy Five-a-Side, Jim is joined by stand-up comedian and host of BBC Sounds podcast 'Jacob Hawley: On Drugs': it's Jacob Hawley!
A fellow Arsenal fan, Jacob joins us to talk through a five-a-side team made up of some fairly objectionable people, a few of Arsenal's more calamitous recent signings and a man who, for 6 games in 2008, was the Premier League's hottest striker. There's even a famous pop star who is solely in the squad so Jacob can try and score an invite to a future edition of Soccer Aid.

Jules & Andy: The Premier League outlines possible solutions, but how likely is each proposal?
Tue, 12 May 2020
So, the Premier League have ruled that 'null and void' and finishing a season with no relegation are off the table, meaning the season will be concluded in one way or another. We discuss this news on today's episode of Jules & Andy!
We speak to The Independent's Miguel Delaney about the Premier League's current plans and why he now feels much more confident about football's return. We also discuss the affect this may have on the players, in light of Danny Rose's comments, and numerous clubs' opposition to playing out the season at neutral venues.

The Ramble: Disinfection cabinets, Dynamo Dresden and yet another word from Louis van Gaal
Mon, 11 May 2020
We have all the latest on the latest meetings about meetings! To be fair to the Premier League thatâs about all they can do at the moment as we seem to be no closer to a concrete plan. That doesnât matter though, because Louis van Gaal has decided to keep us all entertained by calling Ed Woodward an âevil geniusâ and âinvitingâ Jose Mourinho to explain why it only took four days for him to replace him at Man United. Thereâs a beef stew bubbling away here.Â
In Turkey Besiktas have installed a disinfection cabinet at their training ground and the thing looks like some amazing futuristic tech, so naturally we posit some alternative uses, while we also look forward to the Neville brothers taking each on in some televised garden centre challenge under the new rules and learn that we may be more of an aphrodisiac than we realised. Oh no.Â
We also love Dave Bautista. We just love him and we donât care who knows it.

FRD Book Club: Building the Yellow Wall, Uli Hesse
Sun, 10 May 2020
Luke Moore, Kate Mason and Andy Brassell return for another episode of FRDâs Book Club, this time discussing the definitive historical account of one of world footballâs most recognisable clubs: itâs Uli Hesseâs Building the Yellow Wall - The Incredible Rise and Cult Appeal of Borussia Dortmund.Â
Many modern football fans will feel a connection to the German side due to its recent continental successes and fevered match day atmosphere. But, in looking at the clubâs history more thoroughly, Hesseâs love letter to his boyhood club presents a more varied backstory. We discuss how Dortmund are placed in the wider context of German football, the fansâ relationship with JĂŒrgen Klopp, and just how close this Bundesliga giant has come to falling away altogether.

The Blizzard: Denmark 1-3 Japan, 2010
Sat, 09 May 2020
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, Japanese football journalist Shinobu Yamanaka joins us to discuss a landmark match for his nation at the 2010 World Cup!Â
Japan took the most talented squad they had ever assembled to the previous World Cup in Germany, but didnât win a match and finished bottom of their group. They returned to the world stage in South Africa and seized their chance to qualify for the Round of 16 with an impressive win over Denmark. We discuss the Japanese publicâs perception of this team after their courageous performance, the wizardry of Keisuke Honda and the bewitching - and infuriating - behaviour of that bloody Jabulani football.

The Preview Show: The Bundesligaâs return is confirmed, Iniesta babies and Goal 4?
On The Continent: The Bundesliga returns, and how might the transfer market change?
Thu, 07 May 2020
Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a drill: football is coming back. Well, some of it. Without any fans.
On todayâs episode of On The Continent, we celebrate the Bundesligaâs upcoming return while acknowledging the need for continued caution. We also speak to FC Union Berlin's Christian Arbeit about how their players reacted to the news and what they've been doing throughout lockdown to best prepare themselves for its return.
We also discuss some of Fabio Paraticiâs recent thoughts about player salaries and how the football transfer market may change drastically in the coming seasons. The likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona will be desperate for more high-profile transfer activity akin to what we've seen in the last few years, what with their respective selections of high-earning benchwarmers.Â

A former Norwegian striker (with perhaps the greatest nickname weâve seen) joins Andy Brassell on todayâs episode of Ramble Meets⊠as we sit down with âThe Featherâ, aka Jan Ă ge FjĂžrtoft!
Many of you will know Jan from his goalscoring exploits in the Premier Leagueâs fledgeling years, as he scored regularly for Swindon, Middlesborough, Sheffield United and Barnsley â either that or him leading the line as Norway beat England in 1993! He joins Andy to discuss his storied career which took him to Austria and Germany as well, saw him captain his country on fifteen occasions and even save Eintracht Frankfurt from relegation with an iconic 89th-minute winner in the final game of the season!

Tue, 05 May 2020
As plans for the Premier Leagueâs 'Project Restart' gradually take shape, we assess where we are on todayâs episode of Jules & Andy. We speak to former Liverpool, Leeds United and Aston Villa defender Stephen Warnock about his thoughts on the current situation and why he thinks we shouldnât be rushing to get this season finished.
Then, we discuss Kevin De Bruyneâs fantastic season for Manchester City and whether an upheld European ban might lead the midfielder to move elsewhere. We also how Aldershot Town manager Danny Searle is helping young professionals who may be worried about not getting their contacts renewed amidst the pandemic.Â

The Ramble: Newcastle players back Bruce, Project Restart touts neutral venues and could the Premier League move to Australia?
Mon, 04 May 2020
With each passing day there are more and more ideas put forward for how to finish the season. This time around we have Neutral Venues With No Relegation and Do it All in Australia! Some are more sensible than others.Â
Itâs not just the Premier League that needs finishing though. What of the FA Cup? Pete reiterates that Newcastle United have scored the most goals so far - because of their replays against lower league opposition - so should probably win it.Â
Weâve got lots more than that though, weâve got a Dennis Bergkamp fronted consortium sniffing around clubs, weâve got Jimâs surprising court appearances, Pete âEvery day is Tyskie dayâ Donaldsonâs birthday, Lukeâs golf insight, some utter filth from Barry Davies, a plea to unify Motherâs Day and the latest entry into Peteâs Film Club.

At The Match Revisited: Inter 5-0 Genoa, 2018
Sun, 03 May 2020
We're not just immersing ourselves in any old atmosphere on today's retrospective episode of At The Match â we're off to sample one of the most intense atmospheres in world football.
In November 2018 Andy travelled to Italy for a Serie A blockbuster weekend, which concluded with a trip to sample Luciano Spalletti's Inter revival. At the San Siro, he caught up with coach and pundit Kevin Cauet, who discusses what it means about being part of the Inter family and the fans that have kept the club going through leaner times. He also talks about his father Benoit, who signed for the Nerrazzurri in 1997, and recounts his tales of training with Ronaldo and Roberto Baggio.

The Blizzard: Spartak Moscow 2-1 Dynamo Kiev, 1989
Sat, 02 May 2020
We shine a light on some underappreciated contributors to European football on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, alongside BBC and Okko Sport contributor Sasha Goryunov!
Sasha joins us to discuss the standout game he remembers from a childhood growing up in the Soviet Union, as Spartak Moscow ensured they won the 1989 Soviet League with victory over Dynamo Kiev. Dynamo were managed by the revolutionary tactical thinker Valeriy Lobanovskyi, who was among the early adopters of computers for statistical analysis and a pioneer of pressing football. He lined up against the 35 year-old Oleg Romantsev, the coach who brought an air of calm to the Spartak dressing room. What unfolded was a chaotic game rounded off by a Valeri Shmarov free-kick worthy of winning any title.

On The Continent: The Ligue 1 season ends but transfer rumours roll on
Thu, 30 Apr 2020
Is football coming back anytime soon? Itâs proving impossible to say definitively. As the Premier Leagueâs âProject Restartâ gathers momentum, Ligue 1 has announced that they will not attempt to finish this season, after the French government banned gatherings of large people until at least August. We break down that news on todayâs episode of On The Continent!
This decision has brought on yet more worries for French clubs and the precarious financial states some of them are in, with âŹ600m owed in outstanding transfer funds to those clubs. We discuss their situation as well as developments from Spain, where Julen Lopetegui voiced concerns about the mental and physical demands on players in lockdown, and Germany who are cautiously planning to restart the Bundesliga. Donât worry, thereâs also a portion of meaty football chat; we work out where the likes of Edinson Cavani, Dries Martens and Gonzalo HiguaĂn may end up plying their trade when football eventually returns!Â

On today's Ramble Meets... Andy Brassell is joined by former Leicester City and Woking forward turned broadcast journalist, Warren Haughton!
From playing on the estates in his hometown of Birmingham to trialling with Aston Villa at 14, Warren became obsessed with football from a young age. After a stint at Leicester City, he journeyed through a variety of non-league sides before pursuing the journalism career he's become known for. He joins us to discuss his nomadic playing career, including the physical and mental strains that nearly made him quit aged just 24, as well as his second career in broadcasting. Plus, he tells us about receiving a special pair of gold Adidas Predators from Kenny Dalglish!

The Ramble: The fourth coming of Kevin Keegan, Jurgen Klopp slides into Kylian Mbappeâs dadâs DMs plus a Dutch touch for Alan Pardew
Mon, 27 Apr 2020
Just how many times can Kevin Keegan be brought back to St Jamesâ Park to restore some of the feel good factor to Newcastle? At least three, it would seem. Heâs being lined up for an ambassadorial role as the looming Saudi takeover continues to loom.Â
Another beloved ex-Newcastle legend, Alan Pardew, has had to deny that heâs getting a sweet bonus for saving ADO Den Haag from relegation even though he has, while Jurgen Klopp reckons he can get Kylian Mbappe to join Liverpool by being mates with his dad and Barcelona receive an intriguing pitch regarding the naming rights of the Nou Camp.Â
We also learn of Peteâs university heist and have to watch the truly dreadful 1980s movie Hotshot. Will this indignity never end?

At The Match Revisited: Wales 1-4 Spain, 2018
Sun, 26 Apr 2020
What with football on a lengthy hiatus due to COVID-19, and us all stuck inside as a result, we thought we'd take a look back at some of our favourite episodes from past series of At The Match! Join Football Ramble Daily's Andy Brassell on his travels far and wide, as he samples some of the best atmospheres in world football and speak to those at the coalface of the game.
Today, we join Andy in Cardiff as Wales' return to the Principality Stadium was spoiled by an imperious Spain side and helped out by some abject defending from the hosts. Andy speaks Russell Todd of Podcast PĂȘl-droed on what following the national team means, the identity of Welsh football, what returning the Millennium Stadium was like and Bobby Gouldâs kit design skills.

The Blizzard: Barcelona 2-1 Arsenal, 2006
Sat, 25 Apr 2020
Weâre back for some North London heartbreak on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. BBC Sportâs Gavin Ramjuan joins us to discuss Arsenalâs 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final!
After transitioning out of the Invincibles era, this Arsenal side had become incredibly solid defensively â they only conceded two goals on their route to the final, during which they dispatched Real Madrid and Juventus. They met a Barcelona side that, though it had the early shoots of their infamous Pep Guardiola side, was not up to the same standards. Sol Campbell put the Londoners up with a powerful header but, after Jens Lehmannâs red card and fatigue began to set in, a Henrik Larsson-inspired comeback saw the Catalan side win only their second Champions League trophy.Â

Fri, 24 Apr 2020
In which we learn that David Moyes has been keeping busy delivering shopping to the elderly. Heâs really enjoying it too! Could this eventually lead to him retiring early and becoming a village handyman? Stranger things have happened.
Over at UEFA HQ theyâve made a decision about how the various domestic leagues will decide on qualification for European competition⊠and itâs that theyâll decide it themselves, on merit. Put more simply, theyâve said âyou sort it outâ.
As well as all this the Saudi takeover of Newcastle United edges closer, but company man Richard Keys has some misgivings, and as ever they are purely and wholly honourable. We also hear a suggestion to help the NHS and open up the Time Tunnel, where we revisit Tim Sherwoodâs lowest point.Â

Jules & Andy: An imminent takeover at Newcastle and Mesut Ăzil faces criticism
Tue, 21 Apr 2020
The dynamic duo are back for a brand new episode of Jules & Andy on Football Ramble Daily and, boy, do we have some interesting stories to get stuck into.
With the Saudi Arabian-backed takeover at Newcastle United appearing imminent, we speak to The Associated Press journalist Rob Harris about the mechanics of the deal, what still needs to be done and how Mike Ashley will be remembered at the club, should he finally disappear into the ether.
We also discuss Mesut Ăzil's decision to reject a proposed 12.5% pay cut and how much of the criticism he's received is unwarranted, as well as celebrating some ordinary football news for a change: Ashley Young has signed a new contract at Inter!

The Ramble: Faustino Asprillaâs condom delivery drones, more Premier League contingencies and the angst of Newcastle United fans
Mon, 20 Apr 2020
Tino Asprilla has offered to make drone deliveries from his condom company to help people who need them in this difficult time. Not all heroes wear capes, but some of them have their best ideas at 4am.Â
Tino isnât the only one trying to find solutions, though. The Premier League met on Friday to discuss further ways of moving this most movable of feasts, an unenviable task, while FC Midtjylland have come up with the idea of drive in football, leading to disturbing revelations about the details of Peteâs car. The man canât even drive.Â
On top of all this Man Cityâs scouting team have been busy, with even Ilkay Gundogan getting in on the act, a Newcastle fan gets in touch to share his pain and Detective Joey Barton is on various beats.Â

FRD Book Club: Provided You Don't Kiss Me, Duncan Hamilton
Sun, 19 Apr 2020
Welcome to the pilot episode of Football Ramble Dailyâs Book Club! Each time, Luke Moore will be joined by Kate Mason and Andy Brassell to delve into the pantheon of football literature and pull a different book from the shelf for discussion.
Our first entry is one of footballâs defining biographical works, as the Nottingham Evening Postâs Duncan Hamilton pens his extraordinary 20-year tale covering then-Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough. We get stuck into the process behind Hamiltonâs writing, break down the often strained relationship between the author and his volatile subject and reflect on the life of one of English footballâs most captivating and controversial characters.

The Blizzard: Austria 2-0 Germany, 1938
Sat, 18 Apr 2020
Weâre delving deep into the annals of history on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Archivist, researcher and Blizzard copy editor Kat Petersen joins us to discuss Austria 2-0 Germany from 1938, with geopolitical tensions at fever pitch.
Austriaâs footballing and social landscapes were in a state of flux by 1938. The huge Jewish influence on football throughout the 1920s and 30s meant the Nazis treated the game with a certain suspicion, while the middle classes of Vienna established numerous clubs to try and formalise a game previously played on the streets. This match was played after Austria had been annexed by Germany and featured one of the finest footballers of the inter-war era: a humble and unassuming Austrian by the name of Matthias Sindelar.
Kat talks us through the context and endless myths surrounding this momentous game while detailing the extraordinary influence that Sindelar had on Austrian and European football of the era.Â

Andy Brassell is joined by another of AFC Wimbledon's devoted fans for today's Ramble Meets... episode as he welcomes Mumford & Sons' lead singer, Marcus Mumford!
From supporting Manchester United at school until his friends forced his allegiances elsewhere, Marcus has loved football his whole life. He joins us to discuss his relationship to his hometown club, from wondering whether he could play for The Dons when they held trials on Wimbledon Common to cheering on from his car as they beat Luton Town and returned to the Football League in 2011.
He also tells us the story behind his recently released cover of 'You'll Never Walk Alone', with all proceeds from the song going to War Child and the Grenfell Foundation, and his work setting up War Child FC which uses football as a support mechanism for children living in places ravaged by conflict.

We also the new #PlayersTogether policy that a raft of Premier League players have created to help fund those on the NHS' frontline and ask whether the public perception of footballers will be deservedly improved by this initiative.

The Ramble: Soccer Gobs
Mon, 13 Apr 2020
What can ÂŁ200m get you in the current climate? One Harry Kane, or one genetically modified, bionically enhanced everyman, transformed into a world beater? This is just one of the questions we attempt to answer today, as there seems like no better rational response to these persistent rumours about Kane upping and leaving North London.Â
Thatâs not the only squabble going on though, the president of the Gabonese FA wants Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang to leave Arsenal, a man has been spotted flouting government issued advice to chase a picnic umbrella and itâs all kicking off in Scotland.Â
As well as all this there is also, of course, our review of Soccer Dog 2: European Cup. Thank goodness weâll never have to do that again.Â

The Blizzard: Zimbabwe 4-1 South Africa, 1992
Sat, 11 Apr 2020
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, we look back to a match that represented a symbolic moment in the modern histories of two nations. The Sunday Timesâ Ian Hawkey joins us to discuss Zimbabwe's first qualifying fixture for the 2014 African Cup of Nations, a match played in his then-local Harare.Â
Bruce Grobbelaar, who hadnât represented his native Zimbabwe for several years, was called up on the same weekend that the Premier League began and a bench spot under new signing David James beckoned. He decided to fly to Harare just three days before the game and, after much political deliberation around his dual citizenship status, he was allowed to play. This strengthened the sideâs Premier League connection, as Coventry Cityâs Peter Ndlovu also played for the country and excelled in this game.
This marked the arrival of Zimbabweâs âDream Teamâ, a national side that will be remembered with a folkloric appreciation, as they dismantled a new-look South Africa side in front of nearly 50,000 fans in their national stadium and set their sights on a historic international achievement.Â

Fri, 10 Apr 2020
We're back with a preview show, sponsored by Betway, and today we're talking about why Aleksander Ceferin wants to give the league title to Liverpool, why Ronaldinho is no longer in prison, and why Pete Donaldson has everything he needs under lockdown in Soho.
Elsewhere, we hear from one of the stars of Pete's Film Club, we play a controversial round of The Masked Winger, and we take a trip back through The Time Tunnel and find Marcus, in a toilet, with a man from Middlesbrough. Consider that a warning.

On todayâs episode of Fantasy Five-a-Side, Jim welcomes a fellow host from Football Ramble Daily! Youâll know her from BT Sport, Premier League Productions and, of course, Jules & Andy: itâs our very own Jules Breach!
Sheâs here to talk us through her dream five-a-side squad featuring a heady mix of Premier League stalwarts, Brighton legends and a man whoâs played for both Newcastle United and Newcastle Jets, weirdly enough. Jules insists sheâll dictate play from the bench as their demanding manager rather than getting stuck in on the pitch, all while being ably supported by a legendary Jamaican compatriot.

Jules & Andy: Liverpool change their decision and we hear from Aldershot Town manager Danny Searle
Tue, 07 Apr 2020
With Liverpool changing their decision around placing their non-playing staff on furlough, we begin todayâs Jules & Andy with a discussion about the high standards the club is held to and the moral dilemmas other Premier League clubs face.
Elsewhere, as the National League announces it will extend the season indefinitely, we speak to Aldershot Town manager Danny Searle about how the club is faring in these unprecedented times. He gives us some fascinating insight into the contractual situation of the majority of their squad, his worries for younger players coming through the ranks and how he thinks this season can be resolved.

It's time for a truly joyous episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Welsh comedian Elis James joins us to discuss perhaps the finest moment in Welsh football history.
Wales have endured a notoriously difficult relationship with international qualifying campaigns; their fate was still up in the air with one game to go in eleven different campaigns. But, after some assured performances this time around saw them finish second behind Belgium, they advanced to Euro 2016 full of optimism. Chris Coleman's men powered through their group, then laboured past Northern Ireland â before the big one.
You've seen the Hal Robson-Kanu goal. Now relive the moment through Elis' eyes as he watched on delirious in the Stade Pierre Mauroy alongside the jubilant travelling fans â some who made it there via minibus from Aberystwyth.

The Preview Show: Getting everyone into trouble

Who needs actual football when weâve got Nobby Solano getting in trouble with the law thanks to a Peruvian prank show? When weâve got Borussia Mönchengladbachâs novel plan to fill their stadium with cutouts of fans? When weâve got Son Hueng-Min: Super Soldier?Â
And if you do want some of the important stuff, a European league has made a decision! Belgium have decided to crown Club Brugge champions. Will this have a knock on effect as the Premier League starts considering drastic options to finish the season? Almost certainly not.Â
On top of all this we revisit one of our most notorious shows in Time Tunnel, learn of more video vans, discuss Richard Keysâ acting chops and potentially reveal evidence of a crime. Come on in, weâve been expecting you. Â

On The Continent: Remembering Pape Diouf and The Sommelier strikes back
Thu, 02 Apr 2020
We start todayâs episode of On The Continent with a deserved tribute to one of French footballâs favourite sons, as former Marseille president Pape Diouf sadly passed away this week. We remember his incredible journey from humble beginnings in Chad to establishing himself as a respected football journalist and eventual club president, all while endearing himself to the French football public.
Elsewhere, as clubs around Europe struggle with the financial fallout from the Coronavirus pandemic, we discuss whether the decision should rest on the players to donate some of their wages to non-playing staff or if that should be up to clubs and the authorities. Thereâs also time for a lowdown of the increasingly tense relationship between Lionel Messi and the Barcelona hierarchy, as well as some powerful statements from Atalanta supportersâ groups. Â
And finally â roll up, roll up, itâs time for the clash of the century. Itâs the F1 car vs the go-kart; itâs beautiful goals vs beautiful features; yes, we make time to discuss the Karim Benzema vs Olivier Giroud beef!Â

Ramble Meets... James Montague
Wed, 01 Apr 2020
On todayâs Ramble Meets⊠we welcome author James Montague to talk about his experiences writing his new book, 1312: Among the Ultras.
James has travelled to over 90 countries while writing the encapsulating football stories heâs become famous for, and this latest book documents another classic gonzo-style voyage to the inner workings of footballâs ultra culture. He sits down with Luke to recount his experiences in the scene, from talking to the heads of ultra firms who typically hold disdain for the outside media, to being invited to organised brawls.Â
James discusses his own moral dilemma in writing the book and presenting it for the reader to judge the stories, as well as the gambles he took with his own safety to get stories from some of the most dangerous fans in the world.

Jules & Andy: Lower divisions are cancelled and clubs turn to their communities
Tue, 31 Mar 2020
After her Coronavirus-enforced obscene last week, Jules Breach makes her welcome return on this weekâs episode of Jules & Andy!Â
Her and Andy Brassell reconvene in the wake of The FAâs decision to end and expunge the results of tiers three to six of the football pyramid. We discuss the appeal that many clubs have signed to try and reverse the decision, as well as the steps other clubs are taking to instead help those in need within their community. We also try to gauge the possible domino effect this could have on those teams above them in the professional game who still, in theory, have seasons to complete.Â
We also get to some of your correspondence, which includes questions around clubsâ finances in the wake of the crisis, some of our clubsâ favourite academy prospects and yet another bout of Newcastle takeover rumours. Shock!

The Ramble: Pete Roulette
Mon, 30 Mar 2020
World Cup style camps. Thatâs the phrase thatâs all the rage at the moment. The Premier League are continuing to look at ways to finish the season and good on them. Will we have a bizarre little behind-closed-doors conclusion to the season this summer? We just donât know.Â
In other news it looks like Newcastle United actually have a strong chance of winning the FA Cup this season, Arsenal have been engaging in a spot of espionage and Graeme Souness is still really angry about everything about Paul Pogba.Â
Thereâs also time to learn more about Edinburghâs bacon boys and of course, Peteâs Film Club, in which he robs yet more hours of our lives.Â

The Blizzard: England 1-0 Belgium, 1990
Sat, 28 Mar 2020
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, historian Tom Holland joins us to discuss one of the standout moments in English football history: England 1-0 Belgium from Italia '90!
With travelling England fans in near-penal exile on the island of Sardinia, Italian authorities were incredibly anxious throughout the entire tournament about the prospect of more of the hooliganism that had plagued previous England away games. After Bobby Robsonâs side stuttered through their opener against Ireland, he changed to a back three â which immediately paid dividends. They escaped out of their group and then knocked out a Belgium side who probably deserved to win the game, thanks to that cracking volley from David Platt.Â

Heâs probably not going to have many issues, though, as his side features an intoxicating mix of Italian sophistication, French guile and Brazilian chain-smoking panache. All with a sprinkling of the worldâs best ever player. Coming soon to a terrified Powerleague session near you.

Jules & Andy: How players are coping in isolation, with Arsenal physio Gary Lewin
Tue, 24 Mar 2020
Itâs a slightly different episode of Jules & Andy today as, with Jules currently unwell, Andy Brassell is joined by presenter and pundit Kate Mason!
After Kate tells us what it was like to present the news last night whilst introducing the Prime Ministerâs address, we wonder how footballers themselves are dealing with these unprecedented times. To help shed some light on this, we speak to former Arsenal and England physio Gary Lewin. He discusses the mental challenges facing players who live almost entirely regimented lives, and how even big Premier League clubs will struggle to find the resources needed to adequately train their players.
We then discuss what initiatives clubs are running in their local communities to help those affected by the crisis, as well as getting to some correspondence â which features a few ideas on how smaller clubs might be supported in the future.

The Ramble: The Torquay River Mystery
Mon, 23 Mar 2020
Weâre back once again to find that football still seems to be a rich vein of absurdity even when there isnât actually any football, and face up to the idea that our show might actually be better when there isnât any.Â
Admittedly this has been helped by some classic and very welcome outside-the-box-thinking from Ian Holloway, John Hartsonâs âelaborate golf holeâ idea and Torquay United discovering that they have a hell of an athlete among their ranks.
We also found time to talk George Lazenby, around the house holiday clothes and the contents of Peteâs cupboards, while thereâs seismic change afoot as for the very first time, we open the doors to Peteâs Film Club.

We welcome a commentating legend to todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, as Jonathan Wilson and Marcus Speller are joined by Peter Drury!
Peter joins us to discuss a chaotic match from Leedsâ Champions League campaign in 1992, as Europeanâs elite competition was changing beyond previous recognition â and with the Heysel Ban ending a few years previously. Peter remembers his fervent excitement while covering for BBC Radio Leeds as Leeds began their European journey full of optimism from their league title victory the season before, and featured the likes of Gordon Strachan, Gary McAllister and Gary Speed in their side. However, they were swept aside by an impressive Stuttgart side who scored three goals in a crazy half an hour, which signalled the beginning of a hugely difficult season.

At The Match: A Bundesliga II Special
Sun, 08 Mar 2020
Itâs another At The Match episode from Germany, but this time Andy and Luke wander off the beaten track, and out of the top flight. The plan was for Andy to experience some fourth-tier football in Wuppertal but, as Uli Hesse (or Pyrolator) will tell you, it always rains in Wuppertal.Â
Undeterred, Andy makes the most of his trip to Cologne to take in a game at Regionalliga West side Fortuna Köln, spending the afternoon on the open terrace with home supporter Axel, whoâs been watching Fortuna since 1973, as they take on Schalke II. We talk about following football in the fourth tier, what itâs like playing top-flight clubsâ B teams and Oliver Kahnâs ringing endorsement of SĂŒdstadion. It rains torrentially here too, so weâre not missing out on anything.
Then both Andy and Luke chase down Sunday lunch - copious helpings of currywurst, naturally - with an early afternoon trip to Bochum, where they dive deep into German fan culture. We hear about what makes Bochum stand out in such a crowded football region from Bochum ultra and filmmaker Gerrit and then witness an eight-goal thriller, perhaps the most thrilling match of our weekend.

The Blizzard: Sheffield Wednesday 3-4 Tottenham, 1994
Sat, 07 Mar 2020
Thereâs a Tottenham flavour in todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Weâre joined by The Athleticâs Jack Pitt-Brooke to discuss the opening day of the 1994/95 Premiership season, as Spurs took on Sheffield Wednesday.
In his first full season in charge, Ossie Ardilesâ Spurs side looked to establish an exciting and intoxicating brand of football based on the technical skill of the European talent they acquired that summer. Ilie Dumitrescu and Jurgen Klinsmann were among those in this new-look, attacking Spurs side that played out a cracking match against Trevor Francisâ Sheffield Wednesday â featuring seven goals and one of the most infamous celebrations in modern English football.

The Preview Show: Eric Dier takes centre stage, Liverpool lose again, and Steve Bruce goes from strength to strength
Fri, 06 Mar 2020
An action packed round of FA Cup fixtures gave us drama at Spurs,  Chelsea exposing Jurgen Klopp as yet another bald fraud and a huge upset as Arsenal beat Portsmouth.Â
Newcastle made it through too! They never do that! And on top of their win we also got to see 59 year-old Chris Waddleâs cool new hair.Â
Away from the pitch, Pete promises to release some music aimed at kids while also making a niche request for some fanfic; we learn of Delia Smith making Daniel Farke feel at home with the personal touch; and try as best we can to figure out where the midlands is. Keep it real.

Ramble Meets... Carsten Cramer
Wed, 04 Mar 2020
On todayâs Ramble Meets⊠weâre joined by a man at the forefront of one Europeâs elite clubs: Borussia Dortmundâs Director of Sales and Marketing, Carsten Cramer.
Andy meets Carsten in Dortmund to discuss the clubâs journey up to this point and their plans for the future.

Tue, 03 Mar 2020
We're back with a brand new episode of Jules & Andy here on Football Ramble Daily, as Liverpool's momentous unbeaten run comes to an end. We praise the brilliant Watford performance that halted Klopp's side, as well as looking at how the Reds can continue their amazing season free of that extra pressure.
And, after Andy's German football odyssey this weekend, we discuss the protests at Hoffenheim and ask the wider question pertinent to fans of any team: what can supporters realistically demand from their club? We get to all of that, plus some of your correspondence!

The Ramble: Liverpool are beaten, Wolves are on the prowl, and Man City win a third straight Carabao Cup
Mon, 02 Mar 2020
Well! Nigel Pearson and Watford shocked us all by showing that this Liverpool side can be beaten â though in doing so they did shut down some of the little remaining Narrative of the season. All the same, Pete was at the game with a Japanese hotelier he knows and by all accounts a great time was had.Â
Elsewhere, Daniel Farke and Norwich turned the tables and got a surprise win over Leicester, Jose Mourinho bemoaned a lack of fairness and Man City won yet another Carabao Cup.Â
We also learn about the complicated eagle loan market, christen the Milk Shake Boys and plead that you send us meat.Â

The Blizzard: Manchester City 3-2 QPR, 2012
Sat, 29 Feb 2020
"It's finished at Sunderland, and Manchester United have done all they can. That Rooney goal was enough for the three points. Manchester City still alive here. Balotelli..."
It was only a matter of time. On today's episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, we're heading back to the most extraordinary final day of any modern Premier League season. We're joined by sports journalist and broadcaster Flo Lloyd-Hughes who, curiously enough, is a QPR fan. We recount that historic day as City overturned United's eight-point advantage in the last five weeks of the season and won the Premier League title on goal difference for the first time. And this all through the lens of Flo and the QPR fans around her who were swept up in the celebrations and partying alongside their home equivalents, as they were spared relegation by a Jonathan Walters goal for Stoke!

The Preview Show: The Carabao Cup final is upon us, Bayern give Chelsea a lesson, and Liverpool are four wins away
Fri, 28 Feb 2020
It was big win for the little guy yesterday, as Man City beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu â but will the energy they exerted give Aston Villa a chance in Sundayâs Carabao EFL League Cup final? Will underwhelming hackers ruin Pep Guardiolaâs preparations? We just donât know. It is impossible for us to know.Â
Back in the Premier League Liverpool take their war machine to Watford, laying the foundations for an intriguing set of potential narratives re: where they actually win the title. Brighton vs Crystal Palace is also happening, so naturally thereâs a lot of discussion about murderous seagulls and ducks doing stand up comedy.Â
Elsewhere, Jon Bon Jovi announces himself as an ITK, we hear some always welcome immature translations and we look back at some crass goalkeeping tactics of yesteryear.

On The Continent: More Sarriball struggles, Guardiola bests Real, and Galatasaray get one over Fenerbahçe
Thu, 27 Feb 2020
Buenos dĂas, and welcome to another episode of On The Continent - live from snowy London Town!
David Cartlidge and Andy Brassell join Luke Moore in the studio to run the rule over this weekâs Champions League fixtures, as well as some of the other continental goings on. We discuss Real Madrid losing their Champions League fear factor as they were beaten 2-1 by an impressive Manchester City, while Maurizio Sarri was left confused by his playersâ lack of application of his methods as they were bested by Lyon. We also reserve some due praise for Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick, wonder whatâs going on between Lionel Messi and Barcelona, and recount some truly mental scenes from Galatasarayâs win at Fenerbahçe - their first in 20 years!Â
Davidâs also bought his love for hate to our Games of the Week, as he selects an underappreciated Andalusian derby.

Ramble Meets... Dotun Adebayo
Wed, 26 Feb 2020
Andy goes back to the source for this week's Ramble Meets, hooking up with the great Dotun Adebayo MBE - writer, presenter, publisher and longtime ringmaster of BBC Five Live's World Football Phone-In. It was in the hallowed halls where Mr Brassell cut his broadcasting teeth alongside our guest and the legendary Tim Vickery.
They discuss how football helped Dotun integrate into British society when he arrived from Nigeria as a six-year-old, surviving Swedish Sunday league and Dotun's thoughts on the rise of racist behaviour in European grounds. Plus, of course, they relive some of their standout WFPI moments together ("MR ANDY BRASSELL!").

Jules & Andy: Was the Premier League ready for VAR, are officials inadequately prepared, and how does FFP work in practice?
Tue, 25 Feb 2020
After another shambolic weekend of VAR, there was only one thing we could start with on todayâs episode of Jules & Andy. As officials mishandle baffling clear decisions, we discuss the effect these mistakes has on playersâ most visceral emotions while on the pitch and the lack of training for match officials. We also speak to former Premier League referee Peter Walton, who wonders whether the Premier League was even ready for VAR this season due to this lack of training and understanding.
Itâs not all VAR chat, though, as we take another look at FFP in light of UEFAâs decision to ban Manchester City from European competition. We examine what the policy aims to achieve in a wider context, how it works in practice and how clubs can spend their money on vast improvements without breaking any regulations.Â

Mon, 24 Feb 2020
Olivier Giroud is back with a bang, as his perfect, handsome features reminded Spurs of what could have been after they missed out on signing him in January. Elsewhere, Brendan Rodgers kept an impressive lid on it while Eddie Howe looks like a man wobbling on the edge.Â
On top of all this thereâs Brad Pitt, Axl Rose, the return of Matej Vydra (again), more inbox terror and the gift that keeps on giving: Keane vs Carrragher.

The Preview Show: Champions League blows for Liverpool and Spurs, Leicester take on Man City, and Chelsea are having a wobble
Fri, 21 Feb 2020
It's a big week in the olâ football, as European football resumes and Big Weng steps in to do something about the offside rule â something weâre all frankly a little unsure about.Â
We even saw Liverpool lose, as Atletico took a 1-0 lead into their second leg match at Anfield, insulting the place as they did so. Letâs see how that pans out. Thatâs not all we saw; we saw Richard Blackwood haunting Spurs; we saw Barcelona cleverly manipulating time itself; we saw a bitten penis.Â
And if even that isnât enough, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pingu drop in to say hello.Â

Massive news from the rulings department of football as Man City face a potential two year ban from the Champions League. Itâs potentially seismic stuff, and we are as measured and mature about the whole thing as you might expect.Â
We also make time to discuss Joelintonâs woes in front of goal, and how they might be helped if he actually spent more time in front of goal, Sean Dyche motivating his players by showing them the opposition accurately describing their tactics and weâve even got time to take a trip to Daniel Farkeâs tuck shop.Â

Thu, 13 Feb 2020
We welcome another esteemed debutant to today's episode of On The Continent, as Luke Moore and Andy Brassell are joined by The Independentâs Miguel Delaney!
In light of Miguelâs recent piece, âHow football became broken beyond repairâ, we discuss the current imbalances within European football. As the top clubs earn huge swathes of money from Champions League performances and their international reach, competitiveness is being eroded across the vast majority of Europeâs leagues â we assess how this damage has been done and what can be done to remedy it. We also mourn the end of Jurgen Klinsmannâs totemic 10-week stint in charge of Hertha Berlin, as he moves upstairs, and wonder what he can provide in his new ambassadorial role. Thereâs also chat on Iker Casillasâ bid for the Spanish FA presidency and some cracking games of the week!

Ramble Meets... Clyde Best
Wed, 12 Feb 2020
We welcome a footballing icon to todayâs episode of Ramble Meets⊠as Andy is joined by one of England's first black footballers, former West Ham striker Clyde Best!
After choosing football over cricket in his native Bermuda, and becoming involved in the national side when he was just fifteen, Clyde flew across to London for a trial with West Ham United and went on to score 58 goals over seven seasons. Clyde sits with Andy to discuss the horrific racist abuse from the terraces and how teammates like Bobby Moore and Harry Redknapp helped him through it. Clyde also talks about some of his favourite moments from playing in England, gives some advice to the current generation of black footballers and reminisces about managing the Bermudan national team.
This episode was recorded on 5th December 2019.

Jules & Andy: Watching our teams as fans, Sheffield Unitedâs European dream, and managerial legacies

Weâre back with another episode of Jules & Andy on Football Ramble Daily! Jules managed to catch this weekendâs Brighton game as a fan, so thereâs chat about the emotional strains of watching your team from the stands rather than in a work capacity.
Thereâs also talk about Sheffield Unitedâs march towards Europe and how brilliant that would be considering their comparatively modest status, despite some saying it would be bad for the club. And as Marcelo Bielsaâs Leeds potentially start their alarmingly predictable stutter, we discuss managerial legacies and why some coaches canât seem to shake them off.

It may have taken 34 Premier League games - and Jordan Pickford having one of his moments - but CHRISTIAN BENTEKE IS BACK! Thatâs what weâve come to during this whole winter break thing. It will be worth it when Dominic Calvert-Lewin leads England to glory at Euro 2020.
Of course, football exists outside the Premier League. Sammy Ameobi's making Leeds think they too may continue to exist outside the Premier League next season, as Nottingham Forest grabbed the win.
On top of all that, Louis Armstrong drops in, Nigel Pearsonâs globe reveals a dark past and listener Damian Cunningham signs off on his mad reign of terror.Â

On The Continent: Tensions rise at Barcelona, Roberto Soldado's back among the goals, and Gennaro Gattuso works on his night moves
Thu, 06 Feb 2020
Weâre covering every single blade of European football grass on todayâs episode of On The Continent, as Andy Brassell is joined in the studio by Lars Sivertsen and Nicky Bandini!
We start with the recent high profile troubles at Barcelona, as Lionel Messi responded on social media to Eric Abidalâs outburst. Thereâs also time for a wider look at the Catalan sideâs struggles over the last few seasons, as repeated signings havenât worked out and fans intermittent fears that Lionel Messiâs final years are being wasted. Elsewhere, Roberto Soldado grabbed two goals to take Granada into the semi-finals of the Copa Del Rey at the expense of Valencia, who themselves were left infuriated by VAR.
We then swing over to Germany for a look at this weekâs DFB-Pokal as elite own-foot-shooters Borussia Dortmund lost 3-2 to Werder Bremen, despite a cracking debut goal from American prodigy Giovanni Reyna. Thereâs all that plus the virtues of shooting from impossible angles, Gennaro Gattusoâs late night whispers and the upcoming Milan derby!

Jules & Andy: What next for Olivier Giroud, Newcastle's takeover rumours return, and office football chat
Tue, 04 Feb 2020
With February here, weâre taking a look at some of the fallout from a fairly lively January transfer window on today's episode of Jules & Andy!
We begin with marooned striker Olivier Giroud who, after touted moves both within the Premier League and overseas never flourished, he remains stuck in the stands at Chelsea. We discuss where it's gone wrong for the Frenchman and how he may be able to squeeze himself into Frank Lampard's squad. We then take a look at the suspiciously timely rumours of a takeover at Newcastle United and run the rule over their own new loan signings.
There's all of that, plus a load of correspondence â including a dramatic turn in the "Shrews" vs "Shrows"-bury debate.

The Ramble: Liverpool go 22 points clear, Jose vs Pep has spice, and more woe for West Ham
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre looking back at the heady days of the 1987 Littlewoods Cup. John Cross, the Mirrorâs chief football writer, joins us to remember the semi-final second leg replay between Tottenham and Arsenal!
With Arsenal languishing in comparative mediocrity by the early 1980s, George Grahamâs arrival begun a revolution at the club â and nowhere was this typified more than in this game. Arsenal, spurred on by the half-time announcement at White Hart Lane detailing how Spurs fans could buy tickets to the final, fought back to level the second leg and force this replay.

The Preview Show: Villa Park rocks for the Carabao Cup, Spurs host Man City in the Old News Derby and Southampton trudge to Liverpool
On The Continent: Madrid derby, the race for Italy's top four, and The Barber of Leipzig
Thu, 30 Jan 2020
Greetings OTCers! It's time for yet another episode of our European football show and today Luke and Andy is joined by Spanish football expert David Cartlidge to discuss all the big stories from around the continent.
This week we look ahead to a big derby in Spain as Atletico, beset with muscle injury worries, head to the Bernabeu. What's become of El Cholo and his team this season? Meanwhile, in Italy, there's a race on for the top four, but Torino most certainly aren't in it. Roma, Atalanta and perhaps even Milan are though. Can Zlatan do the unthinkable and help this Milan side actually achieve something?
Yep, there's all this and more - Leipzig's Ralf Rangnick getting annoyed at a celebrity barber, Hatem Ben Arfa making an appearance alongside the original Ronaldo, and Steven Bergwijn rocking up at Spurs. Don't miss it!

Ramble Meets... Joe Palmer
Wed, 29 Jan 2020
On todayâs Ramble Meets⊠episode, Andy Brassell sits down with Joe Palmer, CEO of AFC Wimbledon, to discuss his fascinating career in football.
Joe can trace his obsession for football back to the 1987 FA Cup final where his beloved Spurs lost to Coventry, and his love for the game has never wavered. After beginning his career at a PR agency selling stories for MUTV, Joe eventually found himself as the Executive Director of Strategy, Commerce and Marketing at Shakhtar Donetsk. He talks Andy through his incredible time at the club that began with Champions League knockout football and emerging stars, and ended with being evacuated from a developing war zone. Joe also discusses his current work with AFC Wimbledon as they are still searching for further investment to ensure the club can return home to Plough Lane this summer.

Jules & Andy: A mid-season break, West Ham's struggles and can Liverpool go unbeaten?
Tue, 28 Jan 2020
Itâs Tuesday, and you know what that means: itâs time for another episode of Jules & Andy on Football Ramble Daily!
We begin todayâs show with a chat about the upcoming âmid-season break' that the Premier League is trialling, where it will split one round of matches over two weekends to give players a rest. Will this help reduce player fatigue as we head towards the Euros? Or will it simply result in a piling up of fixtures elsewhere? We try to answer those questions, and discuss JĂŒrgen Kloppâs comments on the matter.
Elsewhere, we look ahead to an intriguing midweek clash between West Ham and Liverpool. We discuss whether the Reds can go a season unbeaten and work out how West Ham might escape their current troubles.Â

The Ramble: Shrewsbury rock Liverpool, Man United are BACK again, and itâs time for Newcastleâs annual takeover talk
Mon, 27 Jan 2020
Yâall ready for this? On todayâs Milk Football Ramble we say the word âCumdogâ a frankly uncomfortable amount, but Shrewsburyâs Jason Cummings has given himself the nickname, scored twice to bring his team back from 2-0 down against Liverpool and so has given us no other choice.Â
Elsewhere in the cup, the BiliÄ is back as Slavenâs West Brom knocked out his former club West Ham, Newcastle put on a show for their potential new owners and Man United turned on the style.Â
As well as all that there are Evil Fulham fans, Sir Alex Fergusonâs legacy and that word âCumdogâ again. Urgh.Â

The Blizzard: Liverpool 2-1 Blackburn, 1995
Sat, 25 Jan 2020
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard we head back to another epic Premiership finale. The Irish Times' and Second Captainsâ Ken Early joins us to remember Blackburnâs title win on the final day of the 1994/95 season, despite a 2-1 defeat at Anfield.Â
Blackburn needed to win or hope title rivals Manchester United didnât beat West Ham, to clinch their first title in more than 80 years. Many Liverpool fans at Anfield found themselves in the curious position of wanting their team to lose to Blackburn and thus denying their bitter rivals the title, as their treasured son Kenny Dalglish sat in the Blackburn dugout. Ken, Marcus and Jonathan remember the buildup to this pivotal final day that was the culmination of this season-long battle between the definitive Premier League juggernaut and their new challengers looking to halt a third successive title triumph.

The Preview Show: Man United are bad, but then so is most of the Premier League, so they probably fit in quite well
Fri, 24 Jan 2020
It's FA Cup time again! Let's all take a weekend off from how astonishingly bad the Premier League is and enjoy some red hot knockout action. Newcastle face Oxford, Chelsea and Arsenal lock horns, and Norwich try and spoil Burnley's post-Man United win party. We've covered it all in the way you'd expect, by talking about wagyu beef, Hollywood stars and moped thieves.
Elsewhere, Marcus wants to praise Southampton, Pete doesn't know how to feel after Newcastle scored twice in injury time to get a draw against Everton, and there's another instalment of The Masked Winger. Who's under there, under the mask? Let's see if we can figure it out...

Ramble Meets... Rick Edwards
Wed, 22 Jan 2020
Itâs a meeting of minds on todayâs episode of Ramble Meets⊠as Luke sits down with writer, broadcaster and Liverpool fan Rick Edwards!
Rick can trace his fandom back to "picking the red teamâ in the 1986 FA Cup final aged six, and Liverpool Football Club has remained a significant pillar in his life ever since. He joins Luke in the studio to discuss his passion for football that has followed him since standing on the terraces at Molineux with his dad, right up to to being left distraught when Liverpool lost the 2018 Champions League final. They also talk more generally about footballâs reflection of society, the club vs country debate and how it seems men only feel comfortable expressing emotion while in a football crowd.
You can purchase Rick's new book: 'Hollywood Wants to Kill You - The Peculiar Science of Death in the Movies' here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hollywood-Wants-Kill-You-Peculiar/dp/1786496925

We also debate the latest injury to an England hopeful, marvel at Steve Cook's athleticism and then find time to wonder who we think will get relegated from the Premier League this season. Oh, there's also a couple of emails as well, all sent in by excellently-named listeners.Â

The Blizzard: Juventus 3-1 Real Madrid, 2003
Sat, 18 Jan 2020
Itâs a Football Ramble Daily crossover on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, as weâre joined once again by Andy Brassell! Andy joins Marcus and Jonathan to discuss Juventusâ spectacular 3-1 win over Real Madrid in the 2003 Champions League semi-final.
The game was played at the notoriously derided Stadio delle Alpi on the outskirts of Turin. This, however, was different to the usually under-attended matches at Juventusâ ground, as Marcelo Lippiâs side played in front of rapturous home support. We discuss this gripping tie between two European heavyweights featuring the best and worst of Pavel NedvÄd, some questionable Real Madrid defending and an injury-enforced cameo from the great Ronaldo.

Fri, 17 Jan 2020
Howdy folks, it's time for another preview show, sponsored by Betway! Rejoice! This week, Marcus, Luke and Pete get excited by Marcus Rashford's new tech and wonder if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can take another point from Liverpool.

On todayâs Ramble Meets⊠weâre joined by West Ham midfielder Julia Simic! Julia joins Luke in the studio to discuss her storied 15-year career playing for the likes of Bayern Munich, FFC Turbine Potsdam and the German national side.
From playing with boys beyond her age in FĂŒrth, to joining the Bayern Munich senior side at 16 and playing across the Bundesliga, Julia always had a single minded desire to play football at an elite level. She talks about overcoming an ACL injury before rupturing it again in her second game back, the continued need for improved facilities in womenâs football and the burgeoning popularity of the womenâs game.

Jules & Andy: Replacing Harry Kane, the mental pressures of management, and some of your correspondence
Weâre headed up to Liverpool for todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, for a classic escape from relegation. On the docket today is the final day of the 1993/94 season, as Everton had their last roll of the dice against Wimbledon, and weâre joined by author and deCoubertin Books principle James Corbett!
After a fantastic period of success in the 1980âs, the turn of the decade brought about tougher times for the Toffees. Everton were actually one of the key five drivers in forming the then-Premiership but looked ill-equipped to deal with the change, after many senior players followed Howard Kendell out the door in the late 80s and early 90s. There were four other teams in the mix for relegation as the final round of fixtures arrived and, after going 2-0 down against Wimbledon, all hope looked lost - but Everton performed the impossible. We discuss a miraculous comeback on that nerve-shredding afternoon at Goodison Park, as fans in the adjoining Stanley Park climbed various trees in hopes of watching one of the most significant ever matches in their clubâs history.

The Preview Show: Liverpool visit Spurs, injuries ahoy for Roy, and Southampton travel to Leicester with revenge in mind
Fri, 10 Jan 2020
The goings on at Man United are going on so much that theyâve reduced Sir Alex Ferguson to lonely red wine sessions in his old office, which may or may not be Ole Gunnar Solskjaerâs current office. They face Norwich at the weekend in a fixture more intriguing than it has any right to be.Â
Spurs also host Liverpool, which should be a spicy one. Will we see Jose Mourinho attempt to park the bus? Probably, yes.Â
As well as discussing the upcoming action, we take some necessary detours through ear irrigation, Pizza Hutâs social media team and a particularly furious emails section. We've all got exclusive new music from Pete Donaldson. Itâs time to learn!

Jules & Andy: The FA Cup's dwindling magic, how the tournament can find it again, and some potential January transfers
Tue, 07 Jan 2020
Has the FA Cup lost some of its sparkle? What are the big teamsâ attitudes towards the tournament? These are a few of the questions weâre trying to answer on todayâs brand new episode of Jules & Andy!
After a mixed set of results from the third round this weekend, we debate how significant a place the Cup still holds in footballâs television-dominated environment. We suggest some ways to help recapture the magic of past FA Cups, including moving the semi-finals away from Wembley and incentivising teams to take it more seriously, while Jules recounts some of her favourite memories of watching it as a fan. Elsewhere, we discuss some of the potential movers and shakers in this Januaryâs transfer window, as Arsenal need some new personnel in defence and Manchester United could do with some creativity.

The Blizzard: Ireland 1-0 Netherlands, 2001
Sat, 04 Jan 2020
You join us in the Emerald Isle for todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Weâre taking a look at a historic afternoon for Irish football from 2001, alongside JOEâs Dion Fanning!
The Netherlands arrived at Lansdowne Road with qualification for the 2002 World Cup on the line, while Mick McCarthyâs men had enjoyed a hugely successful qualifying campaign. Louis van Gaal had began to drift from his traditional 4-3-3 philosophy by this point, after a tough spell at Barcelona, and as this game slipped through their fingers he even finished the game playing four strikers.
In contrast, Dion remembers how this game was perhaps âthe last time Irish football felt united and moving in the same direction.â The Green Army were still the usual underdogs but, with a fantastic goal from Jason McAteer and a stalwart performance from captain Roy Keane, they secured World Cup qualification in front of 35,000 at Lansdowne Road.

The Ramble: David Moyes returns to West Ham, Arsenal lose but improve, and VAR is rubbish again. And again. And againâŠ
Joining us on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, is The Independentâs Vithushan Ehantharajah! His chose today's game based on pure, glorious nostalgia: Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal from 2004.
This game, with its mix of technical ability and unrelenting pace, was a tremendous advert for the Premier League. Arsenalâs performances were beginning to falter after coming off their invincible season, though this was still only their second defeat in 55 league matches. The goal they did score, a truly glorious one, served as a fleeting mirage of that previous Arsenal. Their opponents came flying out the traps, with Xabi Alonso particularly impressive, and played their part in a classic Premier League affair. And it was all rounded off by Neil Mellorâs astonishing goal deep into injury time!Â

The Ramble: Liverpool are champions of the world, Lampard bests Mourinho, and Manchester win the battle of the Citys

Given that theyâre so far ahead, Liverpool took the weekend off to go and win another trophy in Doha, while Riyad Mahrez came back to haunt Leicester as Brendyball came up short against Man City. Elsewhere, Nigel Pearsonâs revitalised Watford were too much for the ghost of Man United.Â
Forget all that though, because Miguel Almiron scored! It finally happened and it could not have been more adorable.Â
Aside from all this football nonsense we confess to a historic panettone theft, chat head bonks and envision massive cherries.Â

The Blizzard: Red Star 2-2 Bayern Munich, 1991
Sat, 21 Dec 2019
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre looking back at an absolutely phenomenal match - one that Jonathan describes as potentially his favourite ever game of football. The Athleticâs Rafa Honigstein joins us to represent the other half of this fixture, as Bayern Munich take on Red Star Belgrade in the second leg of the 1991 European Cup semi-finals.
Political instability formed an all-encompassing backdrop to this game, with Slovenia and Croatia both declaring independence unilaterally in the months leading up to this game, and it was built up as a momentous footballing occasion. The 1991 European Cup was a tournament both sides were desperate to win; Bayern were obsessed with winning the European Cup again after 1976, and had suffered some traumatic final defeats in subsequent matches, while the Yugoslavian national side had notoriously lost a range of finals in the latter half of the 20th Century. With a home defeat in the first leg, Bayern were praying for a miracle - as we discover, the game more than lived up to this sizeable billing.

The Preview Show: Everton host Arsenal in the New Manager Derby, Leicester & Man City battle for third, and itâs Mourinho vs Lampard at Spurs
Fri, 20 Dec 2019
What a week for new managers, as Mikel Arteta takes the reins at Arsenal (probably at the time of recording) and Carlo Ancelotti rocks up at Everton (possibly etc etc). Bouncy new managers galore!
Thereâs even more to get excited about as Leicester put Brendyball to the test against assistant-managerless Man City, while Jose Mourinhoâs Spurs host Frank Lampardâs Chelsea in a sentence that is still new enough to seem really weird.Â
But thereâs more! Shark eyes and squeaky eyes! RoboPete! The Graham Souness Chest Hair Advent Calendar! Thatâs the sandwich.Â

On The Continent: Dortmund and Leipzig slug it out, El ClĂĄsico ends goalless, and Goal Bae returns
Thu, 19 Dec 2019
The Fussball-Meisters are back again for a brand new episode of On The Continent. Thereâs a whole load of stuff on the docket today, and we begin with last nightâs El ClĂĄsico. It was the first goalless tie between the two sides since 2002, and Real Madrid were (predictably) unhappy with some of the officiating. We discuss Zinedine Zidaneâs deserved public praise for Gareth Bale after his impressive display, as well as Luka JoviÄâs struggles in the Spanish capital.
We then take stock of a crazy Bundesliga game Andy saw earlier this week, as a Jadon Sancho-inspired Dortmund somehow didnât emerge victorious from a cracking 3-3 with RB Leipzig. We also celebrate the goalscoring return of original OTC Goalbae Patrik Schick, before looking ahead to Leipzigâs intriguing matchup against Spurs in the Champions League and previewing the draw more generally.
James also talks about his recent chat with Max Allegri, and we have some cracking Games of the Week lined up. Join us!

Jules & Andy: The A23 Derby, Brighton's mixed season, and changes to football broadcasting
Tue, 17 Dec 2019
Weâre back for a new episode of Jules & Andy, hot off the press after an entertaining draw in the A23 Derby!Â
After watching the game at Ramble HQ, we give a thorough assessment of the match and the two teams' seasons thus far. Jules admits how frustrating it was to not taking all three points from Selhurst Park and gives her thoughts on the Seagulls' mixed results. After that, we turn our attentions to potential changes in football broadcasting, after studies have found that television audience numbers have taken a notable hit over recent seasons. We discuss a variety of initiatives, including some seen across BT Sport's Champions League coverage, that could help to improve the viewing experience.

The Ramble: Bournemouth shock Chelsea, Norwich blunt Leicester, and Man City beat Arsenal in their sleep
Mon, 16 Dec 2019
Us again, after another weekend of football. What a game this is.Â
Mikel Arteta may have had a preview of his very own Ghost of Christmas Future, as Man City brushed past apolitical-Arsenal on autopilot. Leicester werenât âtop enoughâ to keep up with Liverpool, as they were held by Norwich, and Big Dunc Ferguson kept up the good work with a point at Old Trafford, even if poor Moise Kean suffered the indignity of being a sub for a sub.Â
As well as all this we muse on sleepy voiced sat-navs, âloopy behaviourâ and wearable Pete Donaldsons. Theyâre not yet in production but if thereâs enough demand weâll probably look into it.Â

The Blizzard: Cambridge United 5-1 Bristol City, 1990
Sat, 14 Dec 2019
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre joined by the leader of that mob over at The Guardian: itâs Football Weekly host Max Rushden! Heâs here to talk about Cambridge United. Obviously.
In fairness, Max brings a cracking game to the table: Cambridge United 5-1 Bristol City from the 1989/90 FA Cup. This was the start of a hugely impressive run of form for the Uâs, as they went on to gain promotion and reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup - feats they repeated a year later. They built this success on legendary manager John Beckâs genius philosophy of: 1) every marginal gain is a necessity and 2) pump the ball down the channels. This philosophy took Bristol City to pieces and dragged Cambridge all the way to the verge of the Premier Leagueâs first ever season two years later.

On The Continent: Champions League competitiveness, disappointment for Inter, and Gennaro Gattuso gets back in the mix
Thu, 12 Dec 2019
The gang are finally back together for another episode of On The Continent!
With the Champions League group stage wrapped up, we assess the competitiveness of a tournament that has no teams from outside the traditional top 5 leagues in its knockout stages. RB Salzburg were one of the underdogs who came closest to qualifying, but couldnât get the result they needed against Liverpool. We discuss some of their other bright young stars aside from Erling Braut HĂ„land, as Liverpool are reportedly lining up a move for Japanese attacker Takumi Minamino.Â
Elsewhere, after their elimination from the tournament, James gives a thorough assessment of Interâs performances this season and how far they still have to go under Antonio Conte. Andy brings us a Lyon update after their laboured win over nine-man NĂźmes, and Gennaro Gattuso is the new Napoli boss. We repeat: Gennaro Gattuso is the new Napoli boss. Itâs tremendous stuff, it really is.

Ramble Meets... Oliver Kay on Adrian Doherty
Wed, 11 Dec 2019
On todayâs episode of Ramble Meets⊠Luke is joined by Oliver Kay, senior football writer for The Athletic and author of âForever Young: The Story of Adrian Doherty, Footballâs Lost Geniusâ. Itâs the topic of that book that he joins us to discuss today as we look back on the fascinating, but ultimately tragic, life of teenage football prodigy Adrian Doherty.Â
Oliver vividly tells the story of a 16 year-old with such exceptional talent that he was held in the same esteem as Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes in the Manchester United youth setup in the early 1990s. Remembered as an eccentric character whose interest lay in music, books and poetry, Dohertyâs burgeoning career was cut short by a horrific cruciate injury - and his life tragically ended at just 26 after an accident in Den Haag. Oliver and Luke discuss his fascinating story, wondering whether football clubs should have a responsibility to cater for different personality types, and ponder what might have been...

Jules & Andy: Pearson to Watford, Dean Smith's Villa and Gareth Southgate's Christmas cards
Tue, 10 Dec 2019
Welcome to today's episode of Jules & Andy on Football Ramble Daily!Â
This week the tremendous twosome cover Nigel Pearson's appointment as Watford manager, something that no-one (including either of them!) saw coming. After that there's chat about the Dean Smith project at Aston Villa and whether, after a huge financial outlay, they're in trouble of going straight back down again this season.
There's also troubling news as reports of homophobic chanting in the Premier League surface on the weekend the top flight celebrated LGBT inclusion as part of the Rainbow Laces campaign.
There's also plenty of time for your correspondence as well, so stick around for that. Most of it is about Christmas stockings and baubles; make of that what you will...

The Ramble: United come out on top in Manchester, Big Dunc starts strongly and Vardy's gonna Vard
Weâre heading back to 2006 for the latest episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, to a match our guest described as âperhaps the best FA Cup final there had ever been.â Itâs the 2006 final between Liverpool and West Ham, and our guest is the Guardian football writer Jacob Steinberg!
The FA Cup had seen some fairly underwhelming finals throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, but this game in Cardiff gloriously bucked that trend. West Ham, with Alan Pardew in only his second full season in charge, took on the European champions in front of 71,000 at the Millennium Stadium. We discuss the lead up to the game and the respective sidesâ impressive seasons, as well as the match itself - that late Steven Gerrard howitzer included.

The Preview Show: Liverpool put Marco Silva under pressure, Leicester keep up the pace, and Chelsea get back to winning ways
We return to West Hamâs training ground for another episode of Ramble Meets⊠where this time weâre joined by West Ham and England midfielder Declan Rice.
When he began to train with the West Ham first team at just seventeen, Declan always had an unrelenting focus and desire to become a professional footballer. In this exclusive interview, the England player talks to Luke about his time in the youth setup and the paramount importance of working hard, regardless of talent. He also discusses his burgeoning West Ham career, why he wasnât nervous when making his England debut and the chances of him returning to centre back in the future.

Jules & Andy: Spurs' new start, the same old Watford, and the future of Premier League broadcasting
n todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre joined by Michael Cox - writer for The Athletic and author of both The Mixer and Zonal Marking.
Weâre taking a look back at the Euro 2000 final between world champions France and an unfancied Italy side. So unfancied, in fact, that Italian newspaper headlines read âStay at home, Italyâ on the eve of the tournament. But, after beating the Netherlands on penalties in the semi-finals, the Italians went up against a hugely talented France side featuring Zinedine Zidane at the peak of his powers. We discuss the buildup to the game, how football tactics were changing around the turn of the millennium and some unflustered coolness from Robert Pires.

Elsewhere in Group E, we get an update from Lars in Erling Braut HĂ„land Corner, as the astonishing young Norwegian scored his 27th goal in 19 games.
We also find time to discuss Interâs in-form strike partnership, a rip-roaring Real Madrid performance and Borussia Dortmundâs continued struggles under Lucien Favre. Plus, Zlatanâs upset some people and thereâs a cracking derby to look forward to in our Games of the Week.

Jules & Andy: Managers under pressure, the state of the title race, and Spurs and Arsenal's European hopes
Tue, 26 Nov 2019
On todayâs episode of Jules & Andy, weâre taking a look at the distress signals being set off from various sinking ships across the Premier League. Marco Silva might not survive Evertonâs intimidating run of fixtures, and we debate whether Quique SĂĄnchez Flores is under pressure at Watford after just nine games. How long will they survive?
We then move on to the nine point gap Manchester City will need to make up against Liverpool, and ask whether they are still fighting for this title. Plus, ahead of our respective trips to European football in the capital this week, we ask how far Tottenham and Arsenal can expect to go in their European campaigns.

Thereâs pressure on managers throughout the Premier League this week, with disgruntled glances being shot in the directions of Unai Emery, Manuel Pellegrini and Marco Silva- though Jose Mourinho enjoyed a winning start, even if we shouldnât make it all about him.Â
Itâs not all gloom in the Premier League though, with Liverpool, Man City and Sheffield United continuing to strut their stuff⊠Stuffs? No, stuff.
Elsewhere, Pete is recruiting for what sounds like a worrying project, thereâs yet more juice from Rafa Benitezâs time at Newcastle and there are Steves as far as the eye can see.Â

The Blizzard: Liverpool 3-0 Borussia Mönchengladbach, 1973
Sat, 23 Nov 2019
On today's episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, we're heading back to one of the finest nights in Liverpool FC's illustrious European history. It's Liverpool vs Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 1973 UEFA Cup final - and we're joined by Independent writer, former Times football editor and Liverpool fan Tony Evans!
Back in this era the UEFA Cup was a hugely illustrious tournament, where each winner would have to beat many of Europe's elite on their way to the trophy. Liverpool played Mönchengladbach for just 27 minutes before torrential rain led to the game being called off- so the two teams returned the next night to replay the fixture. Liverpool manager Bill Shankly, who was under pressure heading into the game, noticed Mönchengladbach were vulnerable in the air and implemented the tactics the subsequent night, which led to one of Liverpool's finest European performances.

Gary Lewin has been at the forefront of physiotherapy and medical care in football for over 30 years. The former Arsenal, West Ham and England physiotherapist joins Luke Moore to discuss his experiences in the game, from his time under George Graham and Arsene Wenger up to setting up his own private clinic this year.
In this exclusive interview, Gary offers some fascinating insight into the demands placed on elite physiotherapists working under immense pressure in top-level sport. He discusses how football can improve its understanding of concussion and mental health problems, describes the feeling of telling a player their career is over due to injury and the problems around young players breaking into the England squad at a young age.

England finish their Euro 2020 qualification campaign with a 4-0 win while Wales and Ireland can still qualify automatically. Itâs happening, people, and thereâs nothing you can do to stop it. Thereâs going to be a festival of football next summer and we and all our giddy aunts are invited.Â

The Blizzard: Manchester United 3-2 Juventus, 1997
Sat, 16 Nov 2019
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre joined by football writer and Guardian contributor John Brewin. Hereâs here to discuss a scintillating group stage match in the 1997 Champions League: Manchester United 3-2 Juventus.
Even as Serie Aâs reign as the worldâs greatest league was coming to a close, Juventus were still a totemic footballing powerhouse. Sir Alex Ferguson regularly measured his side against his Italian counterparts, but struggled to break through the glass ceiling that English teams typically faced in European competition. Those who performed well domestically were then beaten by cannier, more impressive sides from across the continent- as the first minute of this game typified. However, what followed Del Pieroâs first-minute opener was a fantastic response from United, buoyed on by the Old Trafford faithful, as they began to establish themselves as one of Europeâs elite.

England celebrated their 1000th game with an emphatic win in front of the King of Surrey (Marcus) to get us all excited about the prospect of how they might perform at Euro 2020, especially given how many games are at Wembley. Are we being overly optimistic? Weâre not even sure ourselves.
Elsewhere Wales need to beat Azerbaijan before a sterner test against Hungary, Northern Ireland have the tiny issue of a game against the Netherlands and the football gods have shone upon us to potentially create a Ramble dream team at Hearts.Â

Elsewhere, James talks us through Cristiano Ronaldo being perpetually substituted by Maurizio Sarri, as well as Milanâs current struggles. And thereâs even time for chat on the title race in Bundesliga and Hansi Flick! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Tue, 12 Nov 2019
ules & Andy are back with some breaking news to kick off this episode, as Neil Warnock leaves Cardiff City with immediate effect. We discuss the hugely impressive job Warnock has done at Cardiff during his tenure, and consider the implications for the Championship as a whole.
After that news flash, we get into the Lionessesâ recent stuttering performances and evaluate how successful Phil Neville has been at the helm. We also discuss Manchester Unitedâs impressive recent run of form, as well as the prominence of diving in this post-VAR apocalyptic landscape.

Mon, 11 Nov 2019
Advantage Liverpool! Jurgen Kloppâs men struck a huge blow over their rivals in the race for the title, who themselves comfortably beat Arsenal at the King Power stadium the day before.Â

The Blizzard: Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal, 1989
Sat, 09 Nov 2019
For anyone who thinks the 2012 Aguero goal was the most startling finish to a top flight season, youâve not looked back at the final day of the 1988/89 First Division. Thatâs where we are heading on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard.
Weâre joined by Amy Lawrence, journalist for The Athletic and author of 89: Arsenalâs Greatest Moment, Told in Our Own Words. Sheâs the perfect person to talk us through Liverpool 0-2 Arsenal, the title decider that came after every other English professional side had already finished their season. We discuss the gameâs connection to the Hillsborough disaster just six weeks before, and the feeling of dread around the Arsenal camp leading up to a clash with their title rivals. Listen on for the story of one of the most dramatic matches in the history of the game in this country.

Thu, 07 Nov 2019
Weâre back with another episode of On The Continent, and the headmaster is away! Yes, with Luke off with The Ramble chasing the bright lights of Broadway, James and Andy are joined by renowned OTC guest Lars Sivertsen! The three of them are here to break down another cracking round of Champions League football, as well as look ahead to domestic games this weekend.
Thereâs chat about Chelsea and Ajaxâs truly absurd draw, Inter and Dortmund desperately trying to prove whoâs worse at defending and Rudi Garcia angering his own fans, despite their 3-1 win over Benfica. We also look ahead to this weekend with our Games of the Week, which feature a Der Klassiker Dortmund may well win and a Choc des Olympiques that is anyoneâs guess.

Ramble Meets... Jason Bell & Osi Umenyiora
Wed, 06 Nov 2019
Weâre doing something slightly different on todayâs episode of Ramble Meets⊠as we swap pass backs for a pass rusher, and corner flags for a cornerback. Weâre joined by two-time Super Bowl champion Osi Umenyiora and former Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans and New York Giants cornerback Jason Bell.
After two hugely successful careers, many of you will now know Jason and Osi as NFL broadcasters for the BBC and NFL UK. They join Luke for a discussion about the differences between the Premier League and the NFL featuring discussions around nutrition, player safety and trading - and they find stark comparisons between every NFL team having a decent shot at glory and the majority of Premier League sides languishing beneath the elite.

Jules & Andy: Horrific scenes at Goodison Park, Jamie Vardy strikes again, and our early top four contenders
At The Match returns for a big one - it's the first-ever top flight meeting between Berlin's two premier clubs, Union and Hertha, as the former mark their debut campaign amongst the elite. In an intense atmosphere between clubs that played in different national leagues until Germany reunification in 1990, Andy speaks to Union social media guru Ross Dunbar about the club's stratospheric rise in the two years that he has been there. Then, after Union's historic win, we catch up with Hertha defender Dedryck Boyata, supporter Marcel on the away fans' experience and finally Union spokesman Christian Arbeit on a long day ultimately becoming a rewarding one.

The Ramble: Late winners from Liverpool and Man City, a big win for Newcastle, and more beige gruel for Man United fans
Mon, 04 Nov 2019
The weekendâs football looked like it was going to be full of surprises until it wasnât, as Man City and Liverpool kept up their intriguing ding dong, followed by some mind games from Pep, while plucky Man United tried their best against Bournemouth but continued to struggle at this level.Â
Andy Carroll got onto the pitch though, and in a Newcastle win! So that was nice.Â
Aside from this Jim unfairly slanders Tyrone Mings, we hear about Rafael van der Vaartâs change of career and for some reason Liz Taylor makes her Ramble debut.Â

The Blizzard: Fulham 4-1 Juventus, 2010
Sat, 02 Nov 2019
Jonathan has to deal with an exceedingly giddy Marcus on todayâs episode of Greatest Games, produced in association with The Blizzard. Weâre here to discuss the 2009-10 UEFA Cup- specifically Fulhamâs spectacular 4-1 win over Juventus on their route to the final, alongside journalist and author Philippe Auclair.
Throughout a season that saw Fulham play over 60 games, managed by the underrated Roy Hodgson, there were some truly memorable midweek nights at Craven Cottage- but this was the pinnacle. An admittedly ageing and unspectacular Juventus side brought a 3-1 lead back from Turin but it proved insufficient, as Fulham secured qualification with a fantastic result. Marcusâ giddy aunt, indeed.

The Preview Show: A madness at Anfield, Southampton travel to Man City for a whoopin' and Man United go to Bournemouth
Fri, 01 Nov 2019
A night of absolute chaos at Anfield as Liverpool were victorious over Arsenal on penalties after a pulsating 5-5 draw. Is it time for Jose Mourinho to step in at The Emirates? NO. NO IT IS NOT.
Arsenal host Wolves next, so we naturally discuss Nuno Espirito Santoâs attempt to balance such animals and how Halloween might effect the game, while we also look at Southamptonâs potential destruction at the hands of Man City, Man United and Norwich making trips to the south coast to visit Bournemouth and Brighton, respectively. Will Daniel Farke be shouting yet? We can but wonder.Â
Elsewhere more on Bruges, yet more Bristolian controversy and all the usual nonsense.Â

We begin over in Serie A and, as many listeners have been asking about him, discuss Thiago Mottaâs recent appointment as the new coach of Genoa. Thereâs also talk about yesterdayâs humdinger between Napoli and Atalanta, and Fiorentina favourite Franc Ribery earning himself a three match ban for pushing a referee. Elsewhere, Andy talks us through the links between Patrick Viera and the Arsenal job, as well as Dick Advocaat being confirmed as Jaap Stamâs replacement as coach of Feyenoord.
And if you think we donât have time for chat about GoldenEye and airports then you, dear listener, are greatly mistaken.

With a particularly impressive balance of quality and outright skullduggery, Daneâs side is revealed among tales of dad-vendettas, the low quality of British football nicknames and training ground recreations of Goodfellas.
Warning: features a highly creative use of the substitute rule and some of the finest abs known to mankind.

Jules & Andy: Fans' expectations of their players, unfair criticism for Granit Xhaka, and Gabriel Jesus' future

Jules has just about recovered from the high of seeing Brighton first on the Match of the Day running order to hotfoot it to the studio for todayâs episode! Today, we discuss the relationship between players and fans when things arenât going to plan. After the booing aimed at Arsenalâs Granit Xhaka on Sunday and some Southampton fans demanding a refund after their humbling loss against Leicester, we explore what fans can rightfully expect from their club.
After that we squeeze in some chat on Gabriel Jesusâ role at Manchester City and his place as a more than capable backup for Sergio Aguero, and we get to some of your correspondence too!

The Ramble: Liverpool win again, Leicester gub Southampton, and a bad ebening for Arsenal
Mon, 28 Oct 2019
Another excellent weekend of football, the plucky little game thatâs really starting to take hold. Liverpool earned a hard fought three points against Spurs, Chelseaâs Christian Pulisic dazzled and Arsenal vs Crystal Palace once again did justice to the hashtag #arscry
Thatâs not to forget Friday nightâs game, (oh) when the Saints went piling in and Leicester City played like a team possessed (by Luke), setting a Premier League record for an away win as they eviscerated Southampton. Gubba lubba dub dub!Â
As well as that we rank Belgian cities, there are imaginary chat shows, a pizza related injury and an early musical entry for our Christmas lists.

The Blizzard: Netherlands 1-2 West Germany, 1974
Sat, 26 Oct 2019
Todayâs episode of Greatest Games features one of the most significant games in the history of European football: the 1974 World Cup final between West Germany and the Netherlands. Weâre joined by author and journalist David Winner, the author of âBrilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Footballâ and former biographer of Dennis Bergkamp, to recount the arrival of Johan Cruyff and Total Football on the world stage.
With no real previous World Cup pedigree, the Netherlands arrived at the final in Munich having played some truly astounding football. They topped their group and beat East Germany, Argentina and Brazil on their way to the final whilst conceding only one goal. David joins us to explore the build up to the game and the âtragicâ outcome of the match, as we dispel some of the the myths that surround the Dutch perceptions of this game.

Jules & Andy: Spurs look lost, Haringey Borough abandon a game in protest, and the Champions League group stages return
Tue, 22 Oct 2019
Andyâs been to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and thatâs where we begin on todayâs episode of Jules & Andy. We discuss Tottenhamâs ultimately underwhelming result against Watford and ask why Spurs have lost the dynamism that typified their early seasons under Mauricio Pochettino.
We then again turn our attention to the fight against racism in football, as players at Haringey Borough walked off in protest during their game against Yeovil. Jules worked on the game for BT Sport and gives some further details on what was one of the hardest days of her professional career. We round off the chat with a look ahead to the Champions League this week, as the group stage fully gets into its stride!

The Ramble: Liverpool still unbeaten, Everton pick up, and Villa turn it around
Mon, 21 Oct 2019
Man United brought an end to Liverpoolâs perfect start, all among a sea of digs from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and a Sky Sports studio panel that were set up to put the boot well and truly in. Elsewhere, Jack Grealish shone for Aston Villa and Marco Silvaâs Everton seemed to listen to Evertonâs Marco Silva for once as they secured a comfortable win over West Ham.Â
If thatâs all a bit serious, never fear, weâre still idiots so naturally thereâs plenty of discussion of sausage pipes, footballersâ surprising full names and frankly unworkable VAR alternatives.Â

The Blizzard: Aberdeen 3-2 Bayern Munich, 1983
Sat, 19 Oct 2019
On todayâs Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre joined by author and Sunday Timesâ Chief Football Writer Jonathan Northcroft! He joins us to talk about âthe greatest experience heâs ever had watching footballâ.
After winning the Scottish Cup the previous season Alex Fergusonâs Aberdeen side swept through the early rounds - conceding only one goal - and then drew the first leg of this quarter-final 0-0 in Munich, which was a success in itself. Ferguson then deployed some fantastic ruses to ensure the German side and travelling press pack underestimated Aberdeen, including a chaotic training session involving wayward passes hitting teammates in the head! But what followed was one of the most glorious ninety minutes of football The Donsâ fans will ever see. Jonathan talks through what it was like watching the game on the terraces as Aberdeen executed Fergusonâs tactics perfectly, and knocked out one of European footballâs aristocrats.

Ramble Meets... Nigel Winterburn
Wed, 16 Oct 2019
Across a career spanning 22 years and over 700 senior appearances, Nigel Winterburn developed a reputation as a fiercely competitive and reliable operator at the top of the game under varied managers, from Dave Bassett to Arsene Wenger.
In this exclusive interview with Football Ramble Daily, the Arsenal and England left back divulges exactly what it takes to be a pro footballer, how different he was on the pitch when compared to everyday life, and why he hardly ever used his right foot.

Jules & Andy: Abhorrent racist abuse, Englandâs united response, and impressive individual performances
Tue, 15 Oct 2019
On what should have been a night for analysing Englandâs impressive performance in Bulgaria, racist abuse from the stands is, rightly, the main focus on todayâs episode of Jules & Andy. We discuss the dignified response of the England players and staff, the unprecedented actions taken by UEFA and how this abuse can be stamped out at future matches.Â
Thereâs also time for deserved praise for the likes of Raheem Sterling and Tyrone Mings, the latter hugely impressive on his international debut, who are sought out for comment by the media spotlight on occasions like this. We do manage to talk about Englandâs hugely impressive display on the pitch and take stock of where this England team are, eight months out from Euro 2020.Â

The Ramble: England stumble, Wales earn a hard fought point, and Scotland stun San Marino
Mon, 14 Oct 2019
Oof, Englandâs visit to Prague wasnât the stroll in the park many anticipated it being. It was more like a stumble into some stinging nettles because you were looking at your phone and had assumed the whole thing would be straightforward.Â
Things were better over in Wales, as Gareth Baleâs brilliance earned the home side a point, while Andorra won their first ever European Championship qualifier and and John âBanginâ âem inâ McGinn kept up his goalscoring form.Â
Aside from the football we also find time to discuss⊠Fantasia, Royal nicknames and Petr Cech: Goaltender.

The Blizzard: Boca Juniors 2-1 Real Madrid, 2000
Sat, 12 Oct 2019
Hola y bienvenido to another episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard. Weâre off to the 2000 Intercontinental Cup final where Boca Juniors took on Real Madrid, and our tour guide for today is football writer and editor of Brazil Global Football Rupert Fryer!
This was a hugely significant game for both sides; the Boca side featured three legends of the game fleetingly crossing paths, as manager Carlos Bianchi led a team featuring Juan RomĂĄn Riquelme and MartĂn Palermo. Whilst on the Spanish side of the ledger, LuĂs Figo recently signalled the beginning of the GalĂĄticos era by moving to Real as the worldâs most expensive player. He was backed up by a team that included Guti, RaĂșl and Steve McManaman and was manager by legendary coach Vicente del Bosque. Listen on for extensive chat about a collection of brilliant footballers showcasing their brilliant skill.

Fri, 11 Oct 2019
International breaks can sometimes make for a dearth of talking points, but not today! DI Coleen Rooney has been sleuthing and sheâs uncovered some suspicious activity on Instagram.Â
In a slightly less charged battle North Korea take on South Korea, while England revisit the scene of many, many appalling stags as they take on the Czech Republic in Prague.
Weâve also got snipers, Mick McCarthy and the Royal privilege of five-a-side enthusiast Prince William at Carrow Road. It was never in doubt.Â

On The Continent: Managerial merry-go-round, Freiburg's great start, and Euro 2020 qualifiers
Thu, 10 Oct 2019
With Andy Brassell away on various continental crusades, weâve got Lars Sivertsen on todayâs On The Continent, alongside messrs Moore and Horncastle. After beginning with renewed praise for Larsâ goalscoring compatriot Erling Braut HĂ„land, we discuss the fallout from St-Ătienneâs last gasp win over Lyon in Le Derby. The fortunes of the two managers could not be more different, as Claude Puel got his dream start as Saint-Ătienne coach and Sylvinho subsequently lost his job in the Lyon dugout.
Elsewhere, we discuss Freiburgâs hugely impressive start to the Bundesliga season under long-serving coach Christian Streich. We also get a Milan roundup from James, after Stefano Pioli replaces Marco Giampaolo in the Milanese hot seat, and Lars gives us a preview of Norwayâs upcoming EURO 2020 qualifiers!

Wed, 09 Oct 2019
On todayâs episode of Ramble Meets⊠we welcome former Leicester, Liverpool and England legend Emile Heskey! With the recent launch of his new book, Even Heskey Scored, Emile speaks to Luke about his storied 24-year professional career.
From breaking through at Leicester City at 17, to winning a hatful of trophies with Liverpool and earning 64 international caps, this candid interview gives a unique insight into a man at the heart of Englandâs âGolden Generation.â Emile also discusses the importance of team benefitting from his talents rather than chasing individual statistics, the atmosphere around the England squad throughout the 2000s and the burgeoning discussions around mental health in modern football.

Jules & Andy: A superb win for Brighton, Southampton struggle on, and worries for Marco Silva
Tue, 08 Oct 2019
Of course, thereâs only one place weâre starting on this weekâs episode of Jules & Andy: Brightonâs cracking win against Spurs. Jules, our delighted Brighton representative, recounts her recent meeting with manager Graham Potter and discusses how much the team have improved under his tenure. Thereâs even time for a Wimbledon update from Andy, since they won as well! Halcyon days indeed.
Elsewhere, we take a look at struggles further down the south coast at Southampton who have gone three league games without a win. Thereâs some praise for their weekend opponents Chelsea- Willian in particular- and we also try to unpick Marco Silvaâs troubles at Everton.

The Ramble: Wolves shock Man City, Liverpool win again, and Spurs look lost
The Preview Show: A nightmare for Spurs, a stern test for Leicester and a potential thriller at St Jamesâ Park
Fri, 04 Oct 2019
Marcusâ giddy aunt, Ruddy Nora and Gordon Bennett were all present at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Bayern Munich continued their sustained efforts to destroy all football in North London with a comprehensive battering of Spurs. Can they put it right against Brighton?
Liverpool had a strange Champions League experience themselves, and entertain Leicester and the disrespect-machine that is Jamie Vardy on Saturday. We also look ahead to Norwich hosting Aston Villa and Man United heading up to Newcastle, if only to see if both teams can remember what sport they play.Â
On top of all this gold thereâs a peek into our live documents, the return of the Brucey-belly-rub and a half understood assessment of the Robin Williams movie Bicentennial Man.Â

On The Continent: Champions League roundup, Balo's back at Brescia, and Le Derby comes to Saint-Etienne
Thu, 03 Oct 2019
Itâs time for another Champions League recap, as James and Andy are in situ for more continental coverage. We begin with Bayernâs tonking win over Spurs, thanks to four goals from Arsenal legend Serge Gnabry. We also take a look at some of your correspondence regarding Niko KovaÄ, and whether some of the doubts over his qualities have been alleviated, and we consider Bayernâs prospects for the season.
Elsewhere, we discuss Real Madridâs laboured, and largely undeserved, draw against Club Brugge, as well as revelling in the return of Mario Balotelli and Brescia. We also squeeze in a Ligue 1 roundup and look ahead to Le Derby this Sunday, as Saint-Ătienne host Lyon!

Ramble Meets... Maggie Murphy
Wed, 02 Oct 2019
On todayâs episode of Ramble Meets⊠Andy Brassell is off to Lewes FC in Sussex to meet their general manager, Maggie Murphy. Lewes FC are one of the most forward-thinking clubs in the country and pay their men and women teams equally, with both sides drawing from the same cumulative revenue and sharing the famous pitch at The Dripping Pan.
Andy joins Maggie in one of their pitch side beach huts to discuss scoring a hat-trick at her now-home for Shanklin Ladies when she was thirteen, her record breaking work with Equal Playing Field, her twenty-year footballing career and the potential legacy from the recent womenâs World Cup. Itâs a fascinating listen, as Maggie remains at the forefront of the advancement of gender equality within football and wider society.

Tue, 01 Oct 2019
It's time for a brand new episode of Jules & Andy, hot off the press after Monday Night Football! We delve into that slightly underwhelming affair between Man United and Arsenal, before discussing the sides' capacity for any sort of success this season. We then head north to Tyneside to try and understand what's been going wrong at Newcastle. With Rafa Benitez out and Steve Bruce cautiously drinking from the poisoned chalice, we ask what can be done to restore some hope to a proud footballing city.

The Ramble: Liverpool edge past Sheffield United, Villa struggle, and Watford are officially terrible
Mon, 30 Sep 2019
Sheffield United came so close to earning a point against Liverpool only for young Dean Henderson to make a costly mistake. Chris Wilderâs response was less arm-around-the-shoulder and more foot-square-in-the-nuts. ITâS THE ONLY WAY HEâLL LEARN.
Elsewhere in the Football Universe, Wolves got a much needed win, the magnetic Slaven Bilic marches on with West Brom, we hear of ill-disciplined ball boys, Mario Balotelli makes a welcome return and Mike Dean steals the show in another sport all together.Â

The Blizzard: Rangers 2-2 Celtic, 1987
Sat, 28 Sep 2019
There are some football derbies that transcend the ninety minutes on the pitch and the few annual fixtures, and instead become knitted into the fabric of the societies they inhabit. The Old Firm Derby is one of the definitive derbies in world football and weâre heading to the 1987 tie between Rangers and Celtic for todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard.
Weâre joined by Guardian sports writer Scott Murray to discuss a truly incendiary affair - Graeme Sounessâ Rangers had suffered a turgid start to the league campaign and hadnât won the title for nine seasons, while Billy McNeilâs Celtic were flying. The two sides met in front of 44,000 people at Ibrox for one of the craziest matches youâll ever see. Four goals, red cards, fights and a retrospective police enquiryâ this game had it all...

A manâs punched a horse again and thereâs really nowhere else to start. This time it was a Portsmouth fan. We donât know why supporters of our teams keep doing this and we assure you weâre not involved.
Away from that there was an actual Carabao Cup game as Southampton won THE South Coast derby, while Spurs went out to Lolchester on penalties and Old Man Milner helped Liverpool past MK Dons.Â
We also hear of a potential fix for VARâs offside problem, another ding dong between Mo Salah and the Egyptian FA, and a potential pay day for Mino.Â

We begin with a look at two sides struggling at opposite ends of Ligue 1, as PSG lost their second of the season against perennially-underrated Reims and Monaco won their first league game in seven attempts.

Jules & Andy: Questions for Crystal Palace, joy for Leicester, and problems at Stockley Park
Tue, 24 Sep 2019
On todayâs episode of Jules & Andy we begin with a look at Crystal Palace and their place among the pack of varying mediocrity in the Premier League. Does this represent a wider problem? What can owners, players and fans of these clubs realistically strive for in these modern times of financial and commercial inequality?
We then take stock of Leicester hugely impressive start to the season and assess where Brendan Rodgersâ side may be able to reach. Thereâs also time for an inevitable (but entirely necessary) chat about VAR, where both Jules and Andy have some ideas as to how the implementation of this technology can be improved!

New manager bounce, you say? Oh no, Watford, there will be none of that. Man City got back to their ruthless best this weekend, while Liverpool saw off the plucky underdogs of Chelsea and Spurs lost at Leicester because Son Heung-min sloppily strayed a few atoms offside.Â
Down in London, Man United continue to suffer the fate of whatever Faustian bargain they must have made, while Arsenal won a fraught and at times ridiculous game with Aston Villa, because Arsenal gonna Arsenal.Â

The Blizzard: Maccabi vs Hapoel, 1928
Sat, 21 Sep 2019
On todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre joined by Nicholas Blincoe, the author of âMore Noble Than War: A Football History of Israel and Palestine.â Weâre heading to that part of the world for todayâs match as we take a look at the 1928 Tel Aviv Derby, where Maccabi took on Hapoel for the first time.
In these clubsâ formative years, football was an entirely different proposition in Israel-Palestine. Initially seen as too individualistic a sport, it was gradually introduced by the British military and helped by mass immigration of younger people from Austro-Hungarian cities after the First World War. Jonathan, Marcus and Nicholas discuss the background around the two sides, each formed of an entirely different demographic, as well as the 3-0 Maccabi win and its historical significance.

The Preview Show: A South Coast derby, Liverpool travel to Chelsea, and Spurs visit Leicester
Fri, 20 Sep 2019
And so to the South Coast for one of the biggest games of the season (apparently) as Southampton host Bournemouth, while Chelsea host Liverpool, desperately hoping they wonât win a penalty as they simply have no way of knowing what will happen if they do.Â
The true main event is of course Sean Dyche vs Daniel Farke. Will it be Burnley or Norwich who take home the points? Who cares? This one is all about the eclectic sounds of the post match interviews.Â
Alongside all this thereâs a cheese-based blast from the past, an injustice for Jeff Hendrick and further ear worms. Brie you later.Â

The Ramble: Jubilation for Norwich, Chelseaâs youngsters impress, and Arsenal revert to type
Mon, 16 Sep 2019
In Daniel Farkeâs voice:
âA pleasing weekend of football in which many of the topics were covered, such as Norwich Cityâs win over Manchester City which was perhaps not expected, Liverpool asserting their sporting superiority over the struggling Newcastle United and Arsenal showing much quality in the first half of their game with Watford and then perhaps letting themselves down in the second.
There is also much discussion of the parting of the Red Sea, which is slightly off of the topics, there is some controversy regarding the designated email section of the podcast and some perhaps unnecessary discussion of dog boobs.â

Mon, 09 Sep 2019
Eeeeasy etc. Englandâs organised lions despatched Bulgaria at Wembley, Wales got the win they needed and Scotland unfortunately didnât, but weâre still all another game closer to Euro 2020 and that can only be good.
Elsewhere Watford are up to their old tricks (sacking managers), Louis Van Gaal and Tony Adams have teamed up for a weird reason, there are palm trees in Bournemouth, and we discover Petekemon.

The Blizzard: Ajax 2-0 Panathinaikos, 1971
Sat, 07 Sep 2019
For todayâs episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre joined by another member of the Football Ramble Daily parish: Andy Brassell! Heâs here to discuss the 1971 European Cup final, where Rinus Michelsâ imperious Ajax side took on Ferenc PuskĂĄsâ Panathinaikos.
Ferenc PuskĂĄsâ return to Wembley - eighteen years after his miraculous display in Hungaryâs 6-3 hiding of England - was most significant achievement in his coaching career. He led an unfancied but hugely talented Panathinaikos side past Everton and Red Star Belgrade in the latter stages of the competition to the final, against one of the most significant teams in football history. Captained by Velibor VasoviÄ and featuring a Johan Cruyff at the peak of his powers, this era-defining Ajax side went on to enjoy huge success with their Total Football philosophy, and this final may well have been the sliding doors moment at the beginning of it all.
We discuss the match itself, the political landscape surrounding Panathinaikos at the time and this pivotal moment in Dutch football history, which Jonathan sums up via a splendid gardening metaphor!

Jules & Andy: Manchester Unitedâs struggles, a case for David Luizâs defence, and promising signs at Everton
Tue, 03 Sep 2019
Whatâs going wrong at Manchester United? Thatâs our first question on todayâs episode of Jules & Andy, as we cast a reflective eye over Ole Gunnar SolskjĂŠrâs time in charge. Despite some promising young signings in the summer, they still seem to be lacking in key areas further up the pitch. Can they turn it around? Or is SolskjĂŠrâs time running out?
Later on, Andy makes a case for the defence in the recent public trial of Arsenal signing David Luiz. Then, we discuss whether Evertonâs impressive roster of individuals can become a cohesive and consistent unit, and step up to the mantle when challenging for the Top 6.

The Ramble: Spoils even in North London, nervous Chelsea, and a cracker at Goodison
For our latest episode of Greatest Games, weâre joined by football writer and broadcaster Tom Williams as we take a deeper look at the 2006 World Cup quarter-final between Brazil and France. This match, despite being awash with some of the greatest players in history, was completely dominated by the balletic and utterly irresistible Zinedine Zidane.
After two poor seasons with Real Madrid, manyâZidane includedâfelt his star was on the wane. So pervasive was this sentiment, that he announced his retirement ahead of this tournament. What followed however, against Spain in the Round of 16 and against Brazil, was a final glimpse of Zidane at his best in all his former glory. This Joga Bonito-inspired Brazil side, featuring some of the nationâs greatest attacking talent ever, could do nothing in response. Zidane left his mark on this game in broad, beautiful strokes and cemented himself as one of the greatest midfielders football has ever seen.

Tue, 27 Aug 2019
We start todayâs episode of Jules & Andy with a look at some of the abhorrent racist abuse on social media that has been gaining publicity over the weekend. We discuss the possible ways to combat and reduce such abuse, and Jules discusses her own experience as a woman working in the game.
Elsewhere, we take a look at an impressive year for Wolves, as they stand on the brink of qualification for the Europa League group stage.

The Blizzard: Blackpool 4-3 Bolton, 1953
Sat, 24 Aug 2019
For our latest episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, weâre looking back at that thrilling 1953 FA Cup final contested by Blackpool and Bolton: âThe Stanley Matthews Finalâ. Joining us is Seb Stafford-Bloor, a writer for Football365 and Four Four Two magazine, as well as a content editor of Tifo Football.
This final was a hugely significant moment in British football history. As it was the first final to be broadcast live on the BBC, the match was watched by a huge, unprecedented audience from all over the country. It also took place around the time that football was just beginning to be considered as the true âgame of the peopleâ and still remains the only final where a hat-trick was scored. Seb, Jonathan and Marcus sit down and recount the rudimentary tactics and goalkeeping errors that led this match to be one of the most thrilling cup finals ever played.

Weâre here to ease you into another lovely weekend of football with The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Arsenal take on Liverpool in what should be another thigh-rubber as Dani Ceballos and his merry men will be hoping to get one over Kloppâs Clan. We also discuss West Hamâs trip to Watfordâwhich will no doubt result in a very intriguing match, what with West Hamâs poor start and Watfordâs terrible one.

Alan Curbishley has managed over 700 games at Premier League and Championship level, making him still, after eight years out of the game, one of the top ten most experienced managers in top flight football.
Here in this exclusive and revealing interview with Football Ramble Daily, he talks us through his career from the highs of achieving promotion to the Premier League in dramatic fashion with Charlton Athletic to the lows of his contentious exit from West Ham while still at the peak of his powers, as well as how close he came to the England job in 2006, and why Thierry Henry still brings him out in a nervous sweat.

Tue, 20 Aug 2019
Weâre back to take a deep dive into the biggest stories from another hectic weekend of football. We begin with a thorough look at Frank Lampardâs Chelsea after a promising but inconsistent draw with Leicesterâ will we see a return to the unease that plagued much of last season?

Teemu Pukki has taken the bull by the horns after his hat-trick against Newcastle, while Southamptonâs new star Che Adams hasnât enjoyed as successful a start. We also look at Sol Campbellâs recent exit from Macclesfield after he excelled last season despite the constraints of âthe worst job in the football league.â

The Ramble: Yet more VAR, Pukki the poacher, and a sexy Pards
Mon, 19 Aug 2019
Time for a new episode of The Ramble, fresh out of the oven! We begin with the inevitable chat about VAR in Cityâs game against Spurs, but also take the time to acknowledge Kevin De Bruyne and Ărik Lamela looking back to their imperious best as well as Pep's wild gesticulating.
Elsewhere, we try and unravel that dismal Newcastle performance at Norwich as Teemu Pukki grabbed a glorious hat-trick. And Marcus tells us about his trip to the Emirates with Camerman Sam to watch Dani Ceballos and David Luiz have a lovely old time.
Oh, and with no apology, we get a glimpse into the mind of a horny Alan Pardew. It's just the service we aim to provide.

The Blizzard: Red Star 1-1 Milan, 1988
Sat, 10 Aug 2019
Welcome to the first of our brand new âGreatest Gamesâ series, in association with The Blizzard. Every Saturday, Marcus Speller,  Jonathan Wilson and a guest from the world of football discuss some of the most significant matches in football history. First up itâs our continental compatriot, James Horncastle!
James arrives to discuss one of the most infamous ties in European football history, where Milan took on Red Star Belgrade in the 1988/89 European Cup. With Milan looking like it was destined to be eliminated in the second leg, a thick fog totally enveloped the Marakana and forced the referee to abandon the game. James recounts how the visibility was so poor that the commentator couldnât follow the flight of the ball and Milanâs Pietro Paolo Virdis was sent off 15 minutes before his manager Arrigo Sacchi realised. This dramatic delay gave way to one of the all-time great European ties, as 50,000 fans descended on the stadium to see their beloved Crvena zvezda take on the European powerhouses for the second time in two days.

In the latest episode of Ramble Meets, Luke welcomes author, historian and broadcaster Jonathan Wilson into the studio to discuss a life and career spanning ten books, countless newspaper articles and editorship of a quarterly football periodical.
A graduate of Oxford University, Jonathan cut his teeth working for onefootball.com before writing his first book about Eastern European football, called Behind The Curtain. Books about football tactics, Brian Clough, and Argentinian football have followed, and this year Jonathan's tenth work, The Barcelona Legacy, hit the shelves.

I heart Hearts: Man City secure the quadruple, Kompany bows out and Wolves make Europe
Mon, 20 May 2019
As the dust and ticker tape settles on the domestic season itâs Man City that have won it all. A comprehensive gubbing of Watford leaves us equal parts impressed and terrified for the future, though it turns out that Newcastle United have also won some silverware this season, if youâre a bit sloppy with the details, which clearly we are.Â
Peering around the rest of the game we discover that the guy with the bell is no longer the worst Portsmouth fan, that Tony Pulisâ usefulness has come to an end at Middlesbrough and that Cardiff Metropolitan University FC are a name to look out for in Europe next season.Â

Laura Woods is currently in demand as a live football presenter on both TV for Sky Sports and radio for talkSPORT. She is instantly recognisable for her work on Super Sunday, The Debate and the PDC World Darts Championship.
Here, in this exclusive interview, she tells Luke about her path into broadcasting from making her own 'radio shows' on her stereo at home as a kid to co-hosting national shows on talkSPORT, how she deals with criticism from both colleagues and internet trolls, and what it's like to work in an industry that is still very much a man's world.

Bravo, Premier League: City win the title, Liverpool push them and Andros Townsend puts a cherry on top
Mon, 13 May 2019
There was to be no twist at the weekend and Man City retain the title, while Liverpool finish second with a points haul that would have seen them as champions in any season but this or last. Itâs been scintillating stuff and itâs been a pleasure bringing you our thoughts on it throughout the season.
And now for some goodbyes. Goodbye to Neil Warnock, gone from the Premier League, never to return, goodbye to Chris Hughton, who did just enough to keep Brighton up, and goodbye to Yaya Toure⊠we think.Â
Itâs far from goodbye from us though, with the FA Cup, play-offs, Champions League and all the usual nonsense to come.Â

Kloppâs war on telly: Liverpool win again, Arsenal and Man United flop and Townsend hits five

A strange weekend of football as Liverpool keep it up but Spurs, Arsenal and Man United all implode to various degrees, in what will surely become known as The Season Where Nobody Seemed That Bothered About Finishing Third or Fourth.Â
The Premier League also says goodbye to Neil Warnock and his fancy new stance, various play-offs take shape and we speculate on the behind-closed-doors character of Delia Smith.Â

Happy Days: More Messi magic, crunch time for Cardiff, Brendan Rodgers plots a twist
Thu, 02 May 2019
Incredible scenes on the end of Lionel Messiâs foot at the Camp Nou have left us as giddy as a certain anchorâs aunt. We look back at the setbacks that Liverpool and Spurs faced in Europe, rate Ajaxâs chances of winning the damn thing and also wonder if Brendan Rodgers might be the crucial element in deciding where the Premier League title parks itself come the end of the season.Â
Along the way we speculate on the behind the scenes history of the Scholes family, wonder if time is running out for Andros Townsend to prove Marcus right and probably use the word âeffluviaâ too much. Standard procedure, really.Â

Ramble Meets... Sam Matterface
Wed, 01 May 2019
In this latest episode of Ramble Meets..., Luke talks to Chief Football Commentator at ITV and talkSPORT Sam Matterface.Â
Sam delivers spectacular insight into what it's like to be a commentator at the top level, from what preparation he does before a big game to how hospital radio, Portsmouth's promotion season, and being the youngest restaurant manager in McDonald's history helped him on his way.
In addition to that, he tells us what he's looking for in a co-commentator, what the inside of his commentary box looks like, and why he will never again describe a shot on goal as 'fifty two parts water, one part orange squash'.

Ole Gunnar get ya: Everton gub United, Man City sneak past Spurs, and George Weah has a problem
Mon, 22 Apr 2019
Right, it's Easter Monday, but football waits for no-one and so we're back in the studio ruminating on what's been happening on this, the holiest of weekends. Obviously Man City and Liverpool both won, the latter partly thanks to Sean Morrison's back, but don't forget, Everton also dished out a hiding. Mr Solskjaer is obviously absolutely fuming about it.
Elsewhere Pete tries to defend his dreadful opinion of Ayoze Perez after he netted a hat-trick against Southampton, Shokdran Mustafi does his usual, and George Weah has to deal with a worrying infestation...

Thu, 18 Apr 2019
WOW! Spurs and Man City serve up one of the maddest, most entertaining games in recent memory and as if that wasnât enough we get to see them do it all again on Sunday.Â
Liverpool had a calmer time of it but have to be wary of Neil Warnockâs slightly resurgent Cardiff, while Man United look like the party might be over. Again.Â
Elsewhere Andros Townsend infiltrates our dreams, thereâs confusion about Ed the Duck and tabard etiquette, while yet more doctors get in touch.Â

Shola Didnât Score: The top four fight gets juicy, Newcastle win a cracker and Jack Grealish steps up
Notable libertines: Man United, Spurs do the job and the Premier Leagueâs oddest derby looms
Thu, 07 Mar 2019
The good times continue for Man United as they make history in Europe by enjoyably mugging off PSG while their largely injured squad watched on from the sidelines (and internet). And, as well as looking back, we look forward to their trip to the Emirates, Crystal Palace and Brighton locking beaks in what may now become known as The Delayed Derby, while Neil Warnock tries to get in Southampton heads.
Off the pitch, Robert Snodgrass has a lot of explaining to do, we learn that as well as a David Beckham statue thereâs a David Beckham temple, and Ramble Baker Steve Hobbs makes a welcome return, with news of an opportunity.Â

A pie of worms: Draws galore, offsides bore, and a tight top four
Treble Treble: Liverpool hit five, Chelsea recover quickly, and Brendan Rodgers returns
Thu, 28 Feb 2019
A full round of midweek fixtures to play with! What a joy, and it didnât disappoint. Liverpool were rampant, Spurs provided a comical own glol, even Mesut Ozil made a guest appearance.Â
Best of all though, Brendan Rodgers stalks the land once more, ready to show us what weâve been missing.Â
Youâll also not be surprised to learn that the pie thing is rumbling on, with the opinion of a professional thrown into the mix, as well as a pondering of limbs and a surprising revelation about fines.Â

Delete your account: Man United lose in Europe, Spurs excite and the FA Cup returns
Thu, 14 Feb 2019
A mixed week for English clubs in Europe so far as Ole Gunnar Solskjaerâs party suffers its first real setback, in fact the party too such a turn he chucked out Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba takes himself home. Spurs, on the other hand, are having such a lovely time that if theyâre not careful they wonât get their deposit back before they move into the new place.
Looking ahead to an FA Cup weekend weâre keeping an eye out for a cupset as Man City visit the mighty Newport County, and thereâs the usual mixture of DNA tests, goal machine Shane Duffy and Lukeâs live remixing.Â

What a wonderful weekend of FA Cup action, with Premier League teams slouching to defeat across the land. We look back on Newportâs heroics, a furious Claudio Ranieri, a raging Neil Warnock and some most unFulhamish behaviour in the form of some projectile gloves.
Thereâs also some suggested rule changes from you, our dear listeners, an update on the Cardiff banner man, sartorial confusion courtesy of Tony Adams and Franck Riberyâs surprisingly controversial golden steak. Get on it please.

Rickie Lampard amalgamate: Can Warlock make magic happen, the FA Cup 3rd round and holidays for Man United
At 28 years old, Neil Etheridge has established himself as an important part of Neil Warnockâs Cardiff side, but it hasnât always been plain sailing.
After all, the current Cardiff City and Philippines goalkeeperâs story is not one that weâve come to expect from a Premier League player.
Speaking to Marcus in this latest episode of Ramble Meets..., Neil talks about being released from Chelseaâs academy as a teenager, Mark Schwarzer giving him advice at Fulham, and his journey from bit-part player in the lower leagues to winning promotion with Cardiff into the top flight.

Jose Mourinho, sacked after things have gone awry in his third season in charge. Who could possibly have seen such a seismic event coming? Itâs such a monumental occurrence that even Jimâs having a sing.Â
Away from Ole Trafford we (Pete) ask(s) âDo wolves live in burrows?â as we assess the chances of Wolverhamptonâs finest before they welcome Liverpool into their den, look at Spursâ potential stadium boon and enjoy Dennis Wiseâs foray into the world of PR.Â

A private smirk: Chelsea halt Man City, Mo Salah dazzles again and the Copa Libertadores is quite mad
At just 20, Chris became the most expensive goalkeeper in British transfer history signing for Liverpool, the club he supports, from Coventry, the club he grew up at, for £6m in 2001. What followed was a career that despite being held back by a series of unfortunate injuries amassed over 200 appearances at the top level and included a Champions League win and an England cap. In this latest Ramble Meets... Chris gives an honest and insightful assessment of his career and shines a light on the life of a professional player through both the good and bad times.

Tattoo Memories: England draw, Scotland slip up and The Rock get a win
Unplugged: England meet Croatia again, Scotland have a day to seize and Wales host Spain
Thu, 11 Oct 2018
The UEFA Nations League returns and Garethâs Guys prepare to face Croatia behind closed doors with a couple of Marcuses in there. Just donât get relegated, guys.Â
Itâs an exciting and intriguing week as thereâs some exciting yoot throughout the competition, which we touch on before coming up with some Original Content about Ryan Giggs, talking about Nandoâs black cards and learning about Peteâs storage options.Â
It only seems right to tell you now that there is a double dose of Kevin Keegan, and warn you that weâve set you some homework about old memes. Your key words are âBeefyâ and âTaffinâ.

On The Continent Takeover: Mourinho gets out of jail, Liverpool and City exchange pleasantries and Bournemouth run rampant
Mon, 08 Oct 2018
Welcome to a very special episode of The Football Ramble, as On The Continent's James Horncastle and Andy Brassell step into the breach in Jim and Pete's absence, looking to bring a bit of European flair to proceedings! Do they succeed? You decide.
Expect all the usual chat as we dissect Newcastle's reversal at the hands of Manchester United, Man City and Liverpool duking out a 0-0 draw, and a Christian Kabasele-inspired Watford capitulating at the hands of an impressive Bournemouth.
Elsewhere there's Championship chat, Gillingham fans get one over on Luke, and Andy and James bring a new angle on the much-loved Romario/Brazilian politics discussion.

This foul jamboree: Jurgen vs Pep, Messiâs magic and Warnockâs wardrobe
Thu, 04 Oct 2018
We once again ride the Fortnite bus into our favourite sport/dramedy as we look ahead to the most anticipated ding dong of the season so far as Man City visit Anfield (via a new route), Spurs try to compose themselves after doing their best to halt a Lionel Messi masterclass and Jose Mourinho gets ready to tussle with his old foe Rafa Benitez.Â
On top of all this, cabbages fly, England try a bold new technique of planning ahead, and dinner is on Mike Ashley.

Hot in Herre: The Sturridge Redemption continues, Man United lose, Peter Kenyon returnsâŠ
Football: Liverpool have a lovely time, Man City not so much and Burnley need to wake up
Thu, 20 Sep 2018
A trio of returns to the Ramble headlines for Daniel Sturridge, Tony Blair and Peteâs former pop-punk outfit One Eyed Willy this week, surprising us as much as anyone else. We look back over some delicious Champions League action, improvise a kind of Neil Warnock fanfic and continue to give Jose Mourinho immense credit.Â
Elsewhere Sven continues to be the gift that keeps on giving, Keggy pops up and thereâs more flying food. The last two things are unrelated, but thatâs probably temporary.

Pies in the sky: Liverpool pass the Spurs test, Man United impress and Arsenal vanquish Newcastle
A fruity affair: Big George Weah rides again, Spurs host Liverpool and more pressure for Mourinho
Thu, 13 Sep 2018
The Premier League is back after the new-look international break and weâre all fascinated to see if it will be enough to wake up sleepy Harry Kane. Thereâs much to look forward to: Marcus Rashford hopefully getting a run out, Danny Ings back from a blister, MIKE DEAN.
On top of all this there is the welcome and hopefully permanent return to international football for George Weah, a retrospective on the work of the band 5ive and, as ever, some Donaldson gripes.

Ramble Meets...Michael Owen
Wed, 12 Sep 2018
Michael Owen crashed on to the scene in May 1997 in a Premier League game for Liverpool against Wimbledon, and marked it with a goal. Obviously. From then on his career was a whirlwind that involved setting international tournaments alight, a move abroad to the biggest club in the world, injuries, and goals. Lots and lots of goals.
Marcus caught up with Michael for this latest edition of Ramble Meets... to discuss his career, what it takes to get to the very top, a certain night in St Etienne in the summer of 1998, and how he views his time at Real Madrid.
This episode of Ramble Meets... is available to acast+ subscribers from Wednesday 5th September, and all Football Ramble subscribers a week later from the 12th.
This interview took place at Pro:Direct LDN19 for the launch of Umbroâs Speciali 98 collection, a boot inspired by that night in St. Etienne. To check out the full collection head over to prodirectsoccer.com.

Terrible buses: England fall short, Scotland are undone, and Pete has a bee in his bonnet
Across a 35-year career in football, Carlos Carvalhal has gone from a no-nonsense centre-half in his native Portugal to managing Swansea in the Premier League, via spells at Sporting, Besiktas and a 2.5 year stint at Sheffield Wednesday in which his side narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League in both his full seasons at the club.
As the first working manager to appear in our Ramble Meets... series, Carlos offers his insight in what it takes to be a head coach at the top level in the modern game, how easy it is to spot talent, how to deal with a talented dressing room and much, much more.
This episode of Ramble Meets... is available to acast+ subscribers from Wednesday 22nd August, and all Football Ramble subscribers a week later from the 29th.

Entering the video room: Wolves hold Man City, Arsenal get off the mark, and Richarlison goes for a walk
Mon, 27 Aug 2018
Hello everyone! Happy Monday! We're back in the saddle and ruminating over the weekend's games, starting with comeback kings Bournemouth and their draw against Everton, followed by a good chinwag about Arsenal's win over a slow-starting West Ham.
Also on your all-new Ramble: Wolves roar, Roy Hodgson gets angry and a little big confused over a giant vespidae, Patrick Van Aanholt has a dig, and much, much more.
Don't be a square, subscribe today! And to have an email considered for Pete's increasingly fraught correspondence section, it's show@thefootballramble.com. Ciao!

Engine room: Liverpool host Brighton, Wilshere returns to the Emirates, and Kenedy gets off scot-free
Thu, 23 Aug 2018
It's Thursday so it must be time for another preview show from The Football Ramble! What ho!
This time around, we're casting our eyes across buoyant Brighton's trip to Anfield - can Chris Hughton's United-slayers cause another upset? After that we anticipate Jack Wilshere's return to Arsenal in his capacity as 50% of West Ham's engine room, followed by Newcastle United hosting Chelsea and loads more.
There's also a dramatic Going for Glold and of course a Best Bet to look forward to, so strap yourselves in and get ready to head to Ramble Town. Let's go!

Adult diapers: Man United slip up at Brighton, Chelsea and Arsenal duke out a thriller, and Steve McClaren is up to his old tricks
Mon, 20 Aug 2018
Here we go again! The Ramble's back for your aural delectation! To kick us off this week, Manchester United slip up on the south coast much to Brighton's delight, and Chelsea squeak past a profligate Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
Elsewhere in the Premier League Watford pick up a lovely result at Burnley, Spurs ease past Fulham, and Luke is particularly animated about West Ham's defending (or lack of it), something that would have undoubtedly won the award for most pathetic backline display of the weekend, had Steve McClaren not got his greasy mitts all over QPR.
There's also time for more WhatsApp goodness, a Fort William FC update and some Big Neville Southall-related activity into the bargain. Yes, sir!

Low percentage: Cardiff host Newcastle, Arsenal face another test, and Fulham head to Spurs
Thu, 16 Aug 2018
It's almost the weekend which means it must be time for yet another preview show! And boy oh boy are there some games to sink our teeth into (there always are to be fair, because that's how football works).Â
First up, Fulham head to Wembley to face Spurs and attempt to exorcise their Crystal Palace-related demons, and we ruminate on when those north Londoners are ever going to be in their new home. After that we applaud Mike Ashley's attempt to save the great British high street before taking a look at their appointment in Cardiff, before wondering if anyone is ever going to cut Unai Emery some slack.
There's also all your usual favourites, including emails, Going 4 Glold and lots more. To get involved, it's show@thefootballramble.com. Love you!

Arterial Routes: Man City and Liverpool off to a flyer, Bielsa's boys do the business, and willy waving at Wembley
Mon, 13 Aug 2018
The Premier League is up and running, and so are Man City and Liverpool - both of whom recorded eye-catching wins against Arsenal and West Ham respectively. Elsewhere there's chat about a hard day at the office for Fulham, and a look at Wolves' point against Everton.
As the Marcelo Bielsa era gets up and running, we wax lyrical about the effect the big Argentinian is having at Elland Road, and also find time to lament yet more poor behaviour from a Newcastle fan, this time at the Home of Football.
To get in touch, hit us up: show@thefootballramble.com, we'd love to hear from you!

Jose's Judgement: United raise the curtain against Leicester, Emery makes his Arsenal bow, and West Ham's new boys head to Anfield
Thu, 09 Aug 2018
It's the first Preview Show of the season! Huzzah!Â
And what's more, there's plenty of football to sink our teeth into. First up, Manchester United host Leicester City at Old Trafford, which will undoubtedly give Jose Mourinho something to moan about.
Elsewhere across the weekend, there's an Arsenal face off against champions Man City in a stern test of Unai Emery's credentials, West Ham take a trip north to Liverpool, and Southampton host Burnley.
Obviously, there's plenty of the usual combi boiler chat as the listeners slowly start to get involved, more nonsense from the enigmatic Pete Donaldson, and a welcome return for Going For Glold. Don't miss it!

School's back in: Pep and City pick up another trophy, Sarri doesn't know his size, and Warnock's back in the big time
Mon, 06 Aug 2018
Hello again friends, we're back and bloody excited for the new season!
And there's plenty to get our teeth into as well - Pep Guardiola's Man City outwit Chelsea in the Community Shield, but we're still a way away from the full Sarrification of those Blues. There's also transfer news a go-go, particularly at Liverpool, and Jose Mourinho seems to be on a one-man mission to undermine everything at Old Trafford.
Meanwhile, the Championship is back with a bang, and Pete spends quite a bit of time comparing the show to a big bouncy castle. A tortured analogy, and probably not the last one you'll hear from him this season, let's be honest.

Ramble Meets... Matt Taylor
Wed, 01 Aug 2018
In a football career spanning 19 years and counting, Matt Taylor has just about seen it all. From breaking into Luton Town's first team as a 17 year old, to achieving promotion to the Premier League twice with Portsmouth and West Ham, he is now a player/coach at Swindon Town.
In this exclusive interview with The Football Ramble, Matt talks to Luke about his early experiences as a footballer looking to break through and start his career, what it was like scoring spectacular goals in the Premier League, what advice he gives to young players starting out at Swindon, and how, at the peak of his powers, he came very close to signing for Spurs.

So, thereâs no football today. Itâs so weird. However, nature abhors a vacuum so weâve got a podcast full of it anyway.Â
We look back over England and Belgiumâs strange, somewhat empty battle for top/second spot, Japanâs self-flagellation regarding their slightly ironic qualification via fair play and bid a fond farewell to some of the characters weâll miss from a brilliant World Cup group stage.Â
On top of all this we also have an update on the various Marci who are still in the competition, plot Englandâs route to glory and turn our attention to the last 16. Itâs business timeâŠ

Mitro's on Newcastle United form rather than Fulham's â basically on the wrong kind of fire. Brazil showed their cupboard of pristine cogs and gears to the world, and Marcus doesn't want to talk about Felipe Baloy.Â

Itâs on! Itâs happened! England were good! 1966! Scones! Bank holidays!

Despite some at times Sassi play from Tunisia they got the job done, and, frankly, we are like dogs with a number of appendages.Â
On top of this we look at Belgiumâs controlled demolition of Panama, Sweden and South Korea going through the motions, and the opinions of a certain Diego Maradona.Â

Dare to dream: Mexico make waves, Brazil start slow and England are upâŠ
A World Cup injury special in association with patient.info
Thu, 07 Jun 2018
Good news: It's bonus Ramble time!
Injuries. Every World Cup has them. Nobody likes them but theyâre simply a part of the game. Sometimes their impact can define a nationâs tournament, while the panic over the loss of a key man can all be for nothing after a Lazarus-like recovery.Â
Here we look at the effects of injuries to David Beckham, Franco Baresi and Neymar, via the usual nonsense of rubbing photos to cure a broken foot, Jimâs recently discovered internal udders and Barry âBasherâ Davies.

The Football Ramble HISTORY Specials: Beckham kicks Diego Simeone in the 1998 England vs Argentina game
Tue, 29 May 2018
David Beckham is not short of iconic moments for England, but perhaps the most memorable and important came when he was sent off against Argentina for kicking out at Diego Simeone in the 1998 World Cup. Here we look back at the story around the incident and the incredible journey that Beckham took towards redemption.Â

Piano Man: Wembley hosts a thriller, City hit 100 points and Wenger and Carrick say goodbye
100 years ago this weekend, Walter Tull was killed in action in the First World War. While not a name that immediately springs to mind when we think of the people that influenced our game the most over the years, Tull was a pioneer.
We first profiled him back in November 2009, and with increasing calls for him to be recognised posthumously for his services both to football and the military, we thought it would be nice to re-release his entry into our hall of fame from nine or so years ago.
His story is incredible and his contribution to football and society in general can never be underestimated.

As promised in the 12 Rambles of Christmas weâre back to shine a light on Mike Ashleyâs reign of errors at Newcastle United, courtesy of competition winner Matt Baker!
Thereâs the return (and subsequent mugging off) of Kevin Keegan, the Cockney Mafia, Joe Kinnear swearing, a lot, er Alan Pardew also swearing, Alan Pardew head-butting and, of course, POWER DRINKING.

12RofC No.1: Lionel Messi v Cristiano Ronaldo
Sun, 24 Dec 2017
At the top spot on our list, it's the two greatest players to have ever lived. It would be fantastic had just one of these men come along at the same time as The Football Ramble, but to have not one but two, both seemingly vying for that right to occupy the title of Greatest Player Ever in our time is incredible.
As we finish our Christmas countdown of the best, most interesting events and themes since we started the show in 2007, it's an absolute pleasure to spend some time discussing the continuing narrative between Messi and Ronaldo, forever intertwined in a blur of speed, skill, trophies and goals. Two individuals rightly occupy our number one spot in a show about a team game. That should tell you everything you need to know about their quality.

12RofC No.2: The End of the Alex Ferguson Era
Sat, 23 Dec 2017
Potentially the greatest club manager to have ever walked the Earth, Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 after 26 years and an astonishing 38 trophies at the helm of Manchester United. What followed was chaos as the sublime turned into the ridiculous and United struggled to replace such a colossal figure.
Nearly five years on Jose Mourinho rules the roost at Old Trafford, but the shockwaves of Ferguson's retirement continue to be felt. In number two on our list, we discuss what impact he had and what the future holds for one of the world's biggest clubs.

12RofC No.3: Pep Guardiola's Barcelona
Fri, 22 Dec 2017
Arguably the greatest club side we've ever seen, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona were the team that swept aside all before them, playing an irresistible blend of attacking, possession-based football while doing so.
Using tactics and application that are still having an influence around the world in 2017 on the way to winning everything, we pore over the era that brought us Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Pedro and of course the great Lionel Messi in a team that will never be forgotten.

Thu, 21 Dec 2017
In 2015, the wheels finally fell off Sepp Blatter's corrupt FIFA vehicle, an event that was celebrated far and wide by just about every football fan. What followed was a delicious blend of chaos and ridicule.
In number four on our countdown, we pick over the fallout as the FBI got involved, Big Sepp ran for president, won, resigned and then attempted to renege on his resignation, all the soundtrack of satisfied sighs and chuckles from football fans all over the world, not least Andrew Jennings, the man who started the entire fightback.

Wed, 20 Dec 2017
No international team has typified the last ten years of football better than Spain and their three trophies in a row between 2008 and 2012. With a group of all-time great players such as Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, Iker Casillas and Sergio Ramos, La Furia Roja dominated the international landscape for our first five years in the studio.
Those teams were a joy to watch and a joy to talk about, and here we reminisce on what was undoubtedly one of the greatest eras in football history.

Tue, 19 Dec 2017
No manager has quite had the impact on football since 2007, both on and off the field, of Jose Mourinho. Even when not managing in England his shadow has always loomed large, and his time at the helm of two of the Premier League's most successful clubs in the modern era has never been short on drama.
In no.6 on our countdown we tell of our experiences covering the man and his actions and try to work out what makes him such a box office attraction for better or worse in the game.Â

Without a doubt the biggest single result to occur during our time broadcasting, Brazil's humbling by Germany on their own patch in the semi-final stage of the first World Cup they'd held for 64 years was a genuine jaw-dropper.
In number eight on our festive countdown, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete discuss the build up to that momentous occasion in Belo Horizonte, the game itself, the aftermath and effect on Brazil's psyche, and their memories of it all, more than three years on.

12RofC No.9: Man City Win Their First Premier League Title in 2012
Sat, 16 Dec 2017
After big investment, the other half of Manchester had high hopes and big intentions of dining at football's top table but they knew they needed a league title win under their belts first. In 2012 they finally got their hands on it.
From the 6-1 defeat of their local rivals at Old Trafford to the final, dramatic moments against QPR on the final day, The Ramble boys cast their minds back to the iconic Premier League season when Man City, now rightly considered part of the super club furniture, finally earned their stripes on the big stage.

12RofC No.10: Portsmouth Win the FA Cup in 2008
Fri, 15 Dec 2017
After the depression of yesterday, here's something positive to bounce back with and yes this is Luke writing these synopses. Portsmouth triumphed gloriously in the FA Cup in 2007/08, laying to waste everyone in their path including a pathetic iteration of a Manchester United team on their own patch.
Just when we all thought the summer of 2008 would be nothing to shout about given England's capitulation in trying to qualify for the European Championships, those beautiful boys in blue came through and warmed all of our hearts in fine fashion by lifting that FA Cup trophy high above everyone's heads on a balmy day in May at the Home of Football. The less said about what happened after that, the better.

We also try to give Sean Dyche the England job, Big Samâs big grin widens further and El Diego is involved.

12RofC No.11: England Fail to Qualify for Euro 2008
Thu, 14 Dec 2017
In at number 11 in our countdown is Steve McClaren and England's ill-fated attempt at qualifying for Euro 2008. New in the job, Steve was tasked with giving England their English identity back after Sven-Goran Eriksson, the first foreigner to hold the position, had ruled the roost for so long. His first assignment proved to be his undoing however as his team failed to impress, culminating in a disastrous defeat at home to Croatia on a windy and rainy night at Wembley.
This was the first big event to occur after the formation of The Football Ramble back in April 2007 and in many ways set the tone for the years to come, both in shambolic England performances and The Ramble having to resort to humour to get through difficult footballing times.

The first of our countdown of the biggest moments, themes and events of the last ten years comes in the shape of World Cup 2010. The first tournament of its kind ever to be held in Africa, the world was treated to vuvuzelas, Bafana Bafana, yet another turgid performance from those Three Lions and Spain lifting the trophy.
The boys don't let England's showing dampen their spirits though as they enthusiastically march down memory lane regaling all with their memories of the summer, including what it was like to be on the ground in Johannesburg.

In this special ep, we trawl through as many of your email as we can - including missives from a man who believes he can predict what we're going to say before we've said it, a load of puns (obviously), and just exactly how long it would take you to listen to all the Ramble episodes back to back (someone must have been *very* bored...)
To get involved in this nonsense yourself, it's: show@thefootballramble.com
Don't forget to hit subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode of The Football Ramble, and leave us a review on iTunes. We'd really appreciate it.

West Ham: Ragnorak
Mon, 06 Nov 2017
West Ham kindly sacked Slaven Bilic before we recorded this time around enabling us to go to town on the Hammers, including Andy Carrollâs fairly robust advice for the fans.Â
Elsewhere there's time for more handshake drama, the joy of bendy headers courtesy of Mr Morata, and Everton and Watford's game of the season contender which also provided something for Unsy to be happy about.
On top of that we learn about Graeme Sounessâ small box, enjoy some cupsets and marvel at the evergreen, evermassive everPeter Crouch. Get him on some sort of plane.Â

John Fantastic and The Ramblers
Fri, 03 Nov 2017
A frothy show as we enjoy the exploits of Spurs and young Harry Billy Winks, the lines on Pep Guardiolaâs forehead visibly smooth out as he enjoys life and lusts after defeated Napoli and Antonio Conte wonders what the point of it all is.
Elsewhere Roy Keane hits the form of his life as a pundit, the future looks bright for good old Peter Reid, and the correspondence gets tasty. Don't miss it!

Under the fingernails of football
Mon, 30 Oct 2017
Joe Hart is despondent, and we mean really despondent, after West Ham conceded a 97th minute equaliser to Big Roy and his boys. Basically everyone is fuming with professional-headerer Michail Antonio but not us! Not us, no! We are delighted for the drama here at Ramble HQ.
Elsewhere, for obvious reasons (mostly physical) it's not easy to cast David Unsworth aside but Claude Puel and his Leicester team managed it in some style on Sunday and so the boys ruminate on what that may mean for Everton this season as the Toffees lurch from one crisis to another.
And as if Marcus would ever let an England triumph slip under the radar - he's cock-a-hoop about those U17s doing a demolition job on, well let's face it, the entire world really and thinks it bodes well for the summer. Of course he does.
Stay tuned for a Going for Glold controversy as well. Blimey, it's all happening here this week...

Harry The Bruce
Mon, 23 Oct 2017
Frankly, if you're Dejan Lovren you should probably swerve this one. Poor guy. We look at Spurs getting cosy at Wembley and a doozy at Goodison Park where poor old Ronald Koemanâs Everton once again failed to set an example.Elsewhere a Premier League legend teaches us about brain signals, we question Garth Crooks' preparation methods and we learn of a truly awful Christmas beverage, invented by Pete. Obviously.Oh, and for admin reasons you might want to listen right to the end...

Fri, 20 Oct 2017
We maraud across football like David Luiz marauds across a football pitch, with Big Sam heading Stateside, Leicester getting bored and hitting their panic button and Sadio Mane getting a distressing new fitness regime.Â
And we may also be witnessing the end of an era as Mike Ashley looks to sell up. And we all know what that means: Peak Donaldson. Tune in to hear exactly how excited he is...

A bulldog sipping tea from a bowler hat
Fri, 06 Oct 2017
It's a crunch international break and Ramble HQ is stricken with World Cup fever, though there's bad news for Joe Hart and an exciting endorsement from Pete Donaldson, who yet again forgets where the email section is supposed to be.
The boys also find time to round up as much World Cup qualification action as possible, from Faroe Islands to Syria and just about everything in between.
Elsewhere Jose Mourinho's homecoming is typically humble and ENGLAAAAAAAND.Â

Fri, 29 Sep 2017
Diego Costa has a lovely time parading himself around Atletico's shiny new stadium before Chelsea get one over on him, there's a striker crisis for Crystal Palace as they have no fit strikers (apart from the fit striker they have) and we conclude that Harry Kane is in fact very good indeed.Â
On top of that we travel back to the time of the superhero player manager again, and a new Ramble honour is created.Â

Mon, 14 Aug 2017
Well, what a start to the Premier League that was! The boys get stuck in to all the big stories from the opening weekend in the top flight, a league which seems to have its heart set on getting more and more ridiculous as the seasons go on.There's also chat about the red cards that have been popping up all over the UK including a truly incredible contribution from our friends north of the border, as well as a mention for Cristiano Ronaldo who enjoyed what can only be described as a 'mixed' evening in the Clasico.And, as if Going for Glold wasn't controversial enough last week, there's yet more drama in the football world's premier player-based game.
