Football Ramble

Flo, Rachel and Chloe just about make it to the studio after a chaotic night in Brighton, where England blew Norway to pieces! 8-0! Have some of that! We report back from the Amex and wonder how vital Sarina Wiegman is to England's chances. We also look over the other main contenders, including a sumptuous France performance, and tip the hat to Northern Ireland after their hopes of qualification were extinguished by Austria. Remember, all post-England shows will be available on the Ramble feed this summer. But if you want access to all our Euros coverage, make sure you're subscribed to Football Ramble Presents!

Today’s 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. 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 Europe’s biggest clubs cash in their most valuable bargaining chip.

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! 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!

We're back with another episode of On The Continent, where Dotun and Andy are joined by French football journalist, Jonathan Johnson! We discuss Christophe Galtier's arrival at PSG and what that might mean for the likes of Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo. Elsewhere, there's English arrivals aplenty as Leeds pull off more astute business and Shakhtar Donetsk's Manor Solomon joins Fulham. We'll be back with another OTC Transfer Special next week.

We're off! England kicked off their home Euros with a win against Austria last night. Flo, Rachel and Chloe were all at Old Trafford, so join us as we look back over a historic night for the Lionesses. We assess what was a solid, if underwhelming, performance from England and rate some surprise selections from Sarina Wiegman. We also look ahead to the next few matches, as Northern Ireland face Norway and Spain face Finland without their star icon.

Andy describes one new signing as “an absolute cupboard”. But who? And what on earth does that mean? Marcus, Jim and Andy are back in your ears with a fresh shiny Ramble! They talk business at Man United, as Christian Eriksen heads into a rat-infested Old Trafford and Cristiano Ronaldo tries to sidle the other way.

This week’s Football Ramble Presents showcase is a cracking Ramble Meets from last winter, where Andy sat down with a household name and one of modern's football's polymaths. It’s Ryan Babel! As well as re-capping Ryan’s diverse career, they also discuss the undue expectations placed on young players, working with Rafa Benítez at Liverpool and, with the release of his new rap autobiography, revel in his second love: hip-hop.

And how exactly can Pete Donaldson improve everyone’s viewing experience? Control of the undersoil heating, that’s how.

We're back with another of our favourite episodes from last season over on Football Ramble Presents. Today, it's the turn of our weekly women's football show, Upfront! Back in December, our hosts Flo Lloyd-Hughes, Rachel O'Sullivan and Chloe Morgan sat down for a conversation about sexuality, openness and acceptance within women's football. They also speak to Arsenal's Katie McCabe and Aston Villa's Ruesha Littlejohn, one of the game's most celebrated couples, about unapologetic openness and using their platform for good.

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. Join us as we look into their historical origins, revel in the psychodrama and reminisce about the time Arsenal took the absolute piss. What should we talk about next?

Andy's back with a hugely important episode of At The Match, as he travels to Łódź 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.

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!

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.

Over the next few weeks, we're bringing you some of our favourite Football Ramble Presents episodes from this season! Back in November, Andy went to a rain-soaked Barcelona as a new-look Barça took on Benfica in their first Champions League game of the Xavi era! Despite the reduced capacity, Andy said it was one of the best atmospheres he'd ever experienced at the Nou Camp. He also chatted with GOAL's Rik Sharma for the inside track on Barcelona's recent struggles and their hopes for Xavi.

We love you Gareth, but what on earth was that nonsense? Kate, Jim and Luke pick through the wreckage of England’s worst defeat on home soil in nearly a century. Qatar, here we come! New Zealand were also let down by football’s cruel whimsy, as their World Cup spot slipped through their fingers.

Marcus, Andy and Pete react to a reminder of England's dark past after their turgid, uninspiring 0-0 draw with Italy in front of a few children. Meanwhile, Ireland had a glorious saunter through the Dublin sunshine against an abject Scotland while Wales impressively held Belgium.

All we’re saying is there was a 90 minute power cut at Austria’s game last night and a sinkhole opened up in the middle of the pitch, so… Marcus, Luke and Vish put last night’s internationals under the Ramble microscope and discuss what England need to change ahead of their meeting in Munich tonight.
