Football Ramble

Concerning news: Marcus’ Harry Maguire merch is rapidly decreasing in value. Marcus, Luke and Andy look back on a chaotic night in Spain, as Manchester United get pressed like some fresh Seville oranges. We also wonder whether Sean Bean will be in the crowd at Wembley, whether Diego Costa will do the decent thing and sacrifice himself to some crocodiles, and just how more bad news Spurs fans can take.

See you at the San Siro! Dotun and Andy are joined by Jonathan Johnson to wonder what’s in store in the last four of the Champions League. We discuss who will have the edge in Milan and which of the rivals is best-equipped to go all the way – plus, we explain why Pep Guardiola is slowly turning into Carlo Ancelotti. Jonathan also gives the latest on the racism allegations facing PSG’s coach, Christophe Galtier. As ever in Paris, it’s complicated. Got a question for us?

In separate games, sadly. But damn it all Marcus, Jim and Andy are here and armed with all the best bits from last night’s action nonetheless – from Man City and Inter’s 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 Featuring goalscoring goalkeepers, a very stubborn football curse, and more outrageously outdated references.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.

After Chelsea at last bowed out of the Champions League last night, Marcus, Andy and Luke are left scratching their heads over Frank Lampard’s lineup and… quite a lot of things really. Including: is the club in SUCH a bad way that an old Blockbuster cardboard cutout of Jean-Claude Van Damme would be pretty much as able a manager as a sentient Luis Enrique? Stay tuned.

What’s that? The Grim Reaper in the front row of Goodison Park? That can only mean one thing… This Saturday will mark 9 years since David Moyes was sacked – not just as Manchester United boss, but as Sir Alex Ferguson’s not-so-carefully anointed successor.

Peter’s here! And he’s actually meant to be! On the downside, he’s developed an addiction to shoplifting. He joins Marcus, Vish and Jim to look back on a weekend of some brilliant performances and quite delicious capitulations. Have Arsenal blown the title? Is Christian Stellini just Conte, but sh***er?

This season, Manchester City’s project might be about to reach its final chapter: lifting the Champions League. Andy headed up to Manchester on Tuesday night for City's clash with Bayern Munich, where he discusses a night of contradictions and Bayern fans’ remarkable protest against City’s ownership during the game with Miguel Delaney.

Last night’s Europa League debacle leaves us asking: can Harry Maguire be to blame for the size of his head? Marcus, Luke, Andy and Jim have your weekend preview covered as they also reflect on who has the most beautiful eyes in football (you’ll be surprised), one of Nottingham Forest’s worst ideas yet for a replacement for Steve Cooper, and we figure out how much money we could make through OnlyFans.

It’s first blood in the Champions League quarter-finals! Nicky Bandini joins Dotun and Andy from Milan with the sound of a packed San Siro still ringing in her ears! We pull apart a fascinating all-Italian clash that left us wondering whether this all-action Napoli team are a little too dependent on one missing action man in particular. After a bruising night in Manchester (pun intended), we also ask whether Bayern Munich should already be regretting their spin on the Thomas Tuchel roulette wheel. And Juventus! Remember them?

And so did Todd Boehly, who predicted a 3-0 Chelsea win. Because of course he did. Marcus, Pete and Andy react to Chelsea’s tricky night at the Bernabéu, where even Pete’s most ardent Frank Lampard fandom cannot hide the fact that they simply can’t score for love nor money – nor even one of Ancelotti’s cigars. We also start our campaign for Dele Alli to be Real Madrid’s next manager and we check in with Neil Warnock, who’s been up to some unlicensed foot bothering.

As well as every cultural reference point from the year 1996, Marcus and Luke are here to react to Man City’s statement victory over Tommy Tuchel’s Bayern! We discuss Jack Grealish’s maturity on the big stage, Stuart Pearce’s suspicious comments about Swiss bank accounts, and Dean Smith’s hire as Leicester gaffer! Plus, who would you rather be stuck in a lift with: Gary Cotterill or James Corden. Luke knows his answer… Tweet us @FootballRamble and email us here: [email protected].

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 didn’t have any coaching badges. He had never managed any team. But he loved the club. Surely that would be enough? Spoiler: it wasn’t. But it was a mad old ride! Join Marcus, Andy, Jim and Pete to look back on it all.

Anfield was rockin’, Granit Xhaka was kickin’, and the assistant ref was elbowin’! Marcus, Pete, Vish and an emotionally shrivelled Jim look back on one of the spiciest games of the season. But first, we’ve got to edit Roy Keane into a Justin Bieber song. Elsewhere, Ray Lewington has a concerning lack of leg on show, Roberto De Zerbi shows us why he’s our favourite manager in the league, and we learn about Marcus’ battering of James Corden in Fantasy Football!

It’s a HUGE pod debut for… Sammy Ameobi the dog! In other news, Franky Lampard’s back! But is it all a bit… cruel? Marcus, Andy, Jim, Pete and Sammy are asking that, plus we go to South America where there’s a new Guy Goma and there’s HUGE news from Forest! They’ve not sacked Steve Cooper.

What Lionel Messi wants and what PSG want are no longer compatible. But where does this season’s World Cup-winning captain head to next? It really could be the beaches of Miami… Dotun, Andy and Miguel give you the inside track and ponder on whether the Messi experiment in Paris has worked at all – for either party. Plus, we discuss José Mourinho’s realistic future and after reaching the final of the Copa del Rey, we look at how Miguel’s very own Osasuna are showing the way for Spanish football with an organised, community-led approach!

Some said we shouldn’t bother with this episode of Reacts. But if we don’t investigate just how close Chelsea are to hiring Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson or Duncan Ferguson as their new manager, then who will? Marcus and Vish hear your takes on one of the worst games of the season at Stamford Bridge, which left both teams with some incredibly harsh truths. Elsewhere, Marcus reveals his plans to tarmac over Anfield for Everton’s new stadium car park and Vish accidentally brings back Jeremy Kyle.

Where were you on the night of April 3rd 1996? Jim doesn’t remember, which is all very suspicious. Marcus, Jim, Vish and Pete look back at arguably THE most legendary Premier League clash ever, which simply had it all. A terrible 90s pitch. Brilliant attacking football. And the Premier League title on the line. We find out all about it, discover what Marcus gets up to in the pub and stumble across Kevin Keegan’s real truth.

Third spot was in their grasp, but Spurs let it slip! To ten-man Everton. And then got a man sent off themselves. Oh dear. Marcus and Luke react to a shaky start to the post-Antonio Conte era and just another day at the office for Michael Roberto Carlos Keane. Elsewhere, there’s a Fabio Paratici update after he valiantly (and temporarily) falls on his sword while Leicester barely wait until Brendan Rodgers has left the carpark before speed dialling Graham Potter.

Chelsea’s board reportedly ‘admire’ Julian Nagelsmann. We here at the Ramble admire José Mourinho for the job. Jules, Jim and Luke react to a dramatic Sunday that saw Potter and Brother Brendy get the boot from their respective pressure cookers! We discuss where this leaves both of their reputations and why Chelsea - in Jim’s view - are giving North Korea vibes. In more important matters, a referee knees a player in the nads in Mexico, Jack Grealish follows our takeaway advice, and we try to work out how former-player-turned-whaler Wayne Rooney should launch his boxing career.

Marcus, Vish, Jim and Andy celebrate the glorious return of club football and a very, VERY inglorious week for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Lol. We chat about all of that nonsense, plus Marcus rallies to Roy the Boy’s defence and tips Crystal Palace for the Europa League (“clip that”).

After Rodri and Spain got tangled in the long grass at Hampden, Dotun, Andy and David are here to ask what’s going on with Spain. A one-off slip-up, or are they just short of talent right now? Next, we answer your questions about Thomas Tuchel’s move to Bayern Munich! It’s a challenging time there: David argues that Bayern’s players drove the bus over Julian Nagelsmann, while Andy explains why there’s a whole heap of pressure on Bayern’s board as much as Tuchel now. Plus, Feyenoord are on course for their second Eredivisie title in 23 years, but they could have a tricky (Arne) Slot to fill come the summer… Got a question for us?

Today, Jobi McAnuff joins us for an honest conversation beyond the TV studio about football’s insane highs and despairing lows, and what it really means to be a captain.

Hampden Park delivered, so we couldn't resist a Ramble Reacts! Marcus, Jim and Lars discuss the last of the Euros qualifiers and fill up Marcus' old bacon bucket in celebration.

At last! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy put the reign of the balding smoothie himself under the unforgiving Ramble microscope. Well, one of us is perhaps a little less critical than the rest. A Sven-egg-in-a-nest haircut is the prize for guessing who that is… They discuss the reception of England’s first foreign manager, Sven’s unprecedented charm offensive to win the public’s hearts, and what was really England’s undoing in an era that promised so much. There’s Sven fleeing a property with some clothes missing as well, of course. Tweet us @FootballRamble and email us here: [email protected].

Marcus, Vish, Jim and Andy discuss another memorable weekend in international football as Mr Luxembourg bags another brace. There’s love for James Maddison and Bukayo Saka as England pick up another win – but Vish wants to clarify that he’s a better bloke than Bukayo. Plus, ding dong Conte’s gone! The whole sorry affair leaves us wondering whether the days of ‘firefighter’ managers are over as the ‘project’ coaches take over. Speaking of which, there’s a Phil Neville update.

The keys are in the lock, the gate is open, but oh yes we’re here with a weekend Ramble! Marcus and Andy react to news that one of Spurs’ targets has replaced, erm, another of Spurs’ targets at Bayern Munich. And it was a terrible day in more ways than one for poor old Julian Nagelsmann… We recap an even worse day for Karim Benzema as Kylian Mbappé and co run wild against the Dutch, while Marcus makes his feelings known about Antoine Griezmann’s pink hair and Virgil van Dijk proves that he’s got guts of steel after withstanding a dodgy chicken curry.

Are England rusty? Are England confident? Is it rusty confidence? Marcus, Jim, Pete and Luke react to a splendid night in Naples for Harry Kane! And definitely a splendid one for Kalvin Phillips, who was just happy to be involved.

Andy heads to one of Europe’s most intimidating stadiums: the Estádio do Dragão. It’s a huge Champions League night and Porto have the chance to make it two Portuguese teams in the quarter-finals for the first time ever. Unsurprisingly, the atmosphere lived up to the occasion. Andy finds out how Sérgio Conceição has quietly (well, no, pretty loudly in his case actually) become one of Europe’s most impressive coaches and witnesses one of the most dramatic ends to a game you’ll ever hear! Plus, unexpected trivia about André Villas Boas’ grandmother. Special thanks to New Balance Football for taking us to the wonderful city of Porto! Where should Andy head to next?

“Don’t back down, double down”. Aleksandar Mitrović appears to have been following the advice of Limmy this weekend. Was the incident even that bad? Chris Sutton thinks it was, so we probably have to disagree. Today Marcus, Vish, Jim and Pete relive a weekend in which football seemed to malfunction and the end result was glorious chaos.

Gary Lineker’s back, unlike Liverpool! Marcus, Jim, Vish and David are back to discuss a fascinating weekend of football only ruined by Mick Jagger’s hat. Definitely, definitely not a DILF.

After 11 years, Milan are back in the last eight of the Champions League. Dotun and Andy are joined by Nicky Bandini who explains just how it clicked for this young, inexperienced team last night. Maybe Spurs gave a helping hand. But guess who it didn’t click for?

Marcus and Luke struggle to stay awake through some Champions League drudgery, as Spurs went out with a whimper against Milan. At least the score improved from the first leg! We wonder if Antonio Conte’s heading for departures and what Spurs fans can reasonably expect from this team. There’s also some mocking reserved for another early PSG exit and we bid a fond farewell to Scott Parker’s brief stint in Belgium. Tweet us @FootballRamble and email us here: [email protected].

Marcus thinks the Man United players should drive their Shame Cars™ to training this morning. He’s on hand with Luke, Jim and Pete to pore over Liverpool’s demolition job, as Bruno Fernandes lost his head on the pitch and Gary Neville lost his head in the studio. Elsewhere, wild celebrations at the Emirates get interrupted by a lost child - at least Richard Keys approved of them this time.
