Football Ramble

José Mourinho had a few things to be angry about after Spurs drew with a spirited Fulham side, chief among which was Scott Parker’s team selection. That’s right, José is seemingly trying to pick the opposition's team as well as his own. Kate, Andy and Luke are here to question that strategy, before looking over Man City’s latest win on their march up the table. There’s also ample time given to the machines’ gradual takeover of football, as robot pandas invade the Chinese second division and cyborgs slot in at Burnley. Will Marcus Moore finally get a game up top for the Clarets?

Join Marcus, Vish and Pete to look back on a huge night in the Premier League! That’s right: Ryan Fraser has officially become the shortest player ever to be sent off in Prem history. And Man United did something or other. Elsewhere, Chris Wilder plans a lovely night in with his wife after the Blades’ wait comes to an end. It was another car crash for Brucey, but it’s 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.

Marcus, Andy and Pete are here to round off the FA Cup proper, as West Ham laboured past Stockport while Mike Dean and Mark Noble stared pensively into the night sky together. Blissful scenes. Elsewhere, Mesut Özil’s Twitter exposé didn’t tell us much, apart from revealing his unquestionably legitimate beef with Petr Cech. We also look at how Royston Drenthe and Edgar Davids are getting on in their current jobs and celebrate King Kazu’s latest contract extension! That’s right, the Yokohama FC legend has signed a new deal ahead of his 54th birthday - Pete Donaldson is, of course, absolutely ecstatic.

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 weekend’s FA Cup action, as non-league Chorley brushed aside Derby County's kids and Aston Villa’s academy put on an impressive display against Liverpool. We also saw supervillain Carlos Vinicius raise the council tax in the Merseyside area, Big Sam’s struggles continue and a Brighton fan up a tree in Newport.

Marcus, Luke and Andy are here for The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! It’s the FA Cup 3rd round - just about. We rejoice in the things we love about it: balls sailing into people’s gardens, Matt wrecking ball Rhead, and dreams of swatting aside a bunch of youth players drafted in at the last minute. 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. Detective Speller also investigates Pep’s WhatsApp beef with his Spain teammates, and the Dildo Brothers have pulled off another masterstroke in the transfer window. Plus, Spel Brasico. Jump aboard!

Kate, Luke and Vish look back on last night’s Manchester derby, where Pep’s 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 it’s all good, because Fizzer has been head-hunted for an ambiguous “role” at Inter Miami. 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.

Spurs are through and José Ron Mourinho has done it again! Jules, Vish and Pete look back on a historic night for Spurs - one which briefly hung in the balance before VAR screwed Ivan To-knee and Son Heung-min did his usual ruthless business. Meanwhile, the Pandora’s Box that is the January transfer window has been lifted and Sergio Ramos has taken his cue. But while he goes fishing for a fresh new contract, we find out about the Norwegian footballer who has genuinely given it all up to become a halibut farmer. We also doff our caps to the great Colin Bell after the Man City legend sadly passed away yesterday.

We have a title race people. Maybe. Kate, Jim and Andy look back on last night’s action, as Southampton set Man United pulses racing and a teary Alpine Klopp reached new heights. 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. We also ask: who wants to become a sperm millionaire? Thomas Müller, that’s who.

Marcus, Jim and Pete look back on a weekend packed with Premier League happenings! Man City put on a lamps out performance at Stamford Bridge which left everyone reeling - their own keeper most of all. But while Chelsea piss away their title chances, over in the midlands Arsenal just about resist the temptation to make yellow snow and demolish Big Sam’s men. Elsewhere, José was left feeling hard done by after Reguilón left his Christmas piglet. But over in Brazil Neymar had a quiet night in on New Year's Eve and left his underground nightclub untouched. There’s also news of a dog’s escapades in Bolivia and we ask who is the better father: Cristiano Ronaldo or Bean Dad?

To round off the year, we're looking back on some of our favourite moments from this year's Football Ramble! Sure, it's been a horrendous year for many but we've had a great laugh making the show every day and hope you've had a cracking time listening in - thanks so much for your support throughout 2020. 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. We even dip back into the archives and revel in some horrendous lockdown nonsense, as Gerard Butler gets an absolute pasting on Pete's Film Club.

Welcome to a brand spanking new edition of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! Marcus, Luke and Jim look ahead to Arteta and Allardyce’s royal rumble, after Leeds give West Brom a cautious thrashing and Romaine Sawyers jeopardises his place in the St Kitts and Nevis squad. We also turn a horrified gaze to a certain Diego Costa galloping onto the horizon. Manchester United pulled off another smash and grab ahead of their clash with Aston Villa, but Louis van Gaal hasn’t been much impressed (and that’s the real quiz).

To celebrate the holiday period, join us for the first of two bonus festive episodes of the Football Ramble! Marcus, Kate, Andy and Pete are here to don their Christmas clobber and guzzle on some cheer. We suspend the usual football chat to talk about our respective Christmas traditions and remember some classics from the Boxing Day football archives. From Peterborough United to Hartlepool - via the West Ham Christmas Party - there's a whole load of nonsense for you to enjoy. We even bring back a classic Ramble game for one day and one day only...Who's under there? This episode was recorded earlier in December.

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. For this very special Ramble Meets…, Marcus, Luke and Jim chat with the former England manager and a true Ramble legend about all sorts: from Sven’s somewhat hapless playing career, to the Ivory Coast national team’s 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. So on this fine Christmas morning, here’s a little gift from us to you. You’re going to love this one.

Marcus, Andy and Vish are back for The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! It’s crunch time in the Premier League as Ole’s 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.

The Carabao Cup failed to serve up any great surprises last night, as Man City swept aside a meagre Arsenal and Brentford made their first ever semi-final after beating an underwhelming Newcastle. Marcus, Andy and Vish are here to chew over all of that, watch the fallout from the Scottish Cup tumble out of control and check in on Lionel Messi’s record-breaking quest for immortality. Oh, and FIFA has found some ‘irregularities’ regarding their museum and Sepp Blatter - obviously.

Burnley and Chelsea’s wins rounded off the pre-Christmas fixtures last night. Join Kate, Jim and Andy as we catch our breath before they return on Boxing Day! One person who certainly won’t be invited round Mick McCarthy’s on Boxing Day is Roy ‘He Who Must Not Be Named’ Keane after Mick revealed a house-wide banning order on his name this week. We discuss that, some hair-pulling chaos in the CONCACAF Champions League, and Mikel Arteta clutching at tactical straws.

After Liverpool and Man United repaired some early season damage with boatloads of goals, it seems like all these chaotic scorelines will balance each other out after all. Jules, Jim and Vish are here to chew them over on today's episode of the Ramble! Leeds and Crystal Palace received these respective pastings, but weren’t 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 Sam’s return and check in on the latest manager in the hottest of managerial hot seats down at Watford.

An old rival awaits Man United after they bail themselves out at Bramall Lane, while an old friend touches down on the West Brom centre-circle with armfuls of Werther’s.

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 Bielsa’s bovril was tasty, the goals were even tastier as Leeds put Newcastle to the sword. Meanwhile, though there’s a brief respite from Arsenal pain for Jim, Arteta is asking people to hit him. And of course, West Brom fans look towards a bright new future.

Marcus, Andy and Pete are here to try and talk about last night’s action above the ear-splitting noise of the big Sam klaxon. Those little slugs at West Brom only went and sacked Bilić half an hour after the Ramble record! We reflect on what turned out to be his final game in charge, as Bilić’s boys put up a brave fight against Man City. As did Anthony Taylor, as he wrestled back his board from Guardiola. Elsewhere, N’Golo Kanté takes matters into his own hands, but Lampard’s men still fall to a second consecutive defeat. Meanwhile over in Brazil, Corinthians have Taylor Swift to thank yet again. There’s also a special Bosman-themed Portmantonio Conte and one emailer goes to quite extraordinary lengths to meet his Real Madrid heroes.

Kate, Luke and Jim are here to size up the tasks for the various English sides left in Europe after yesterday’s Champions League and Europa League draws. Good travels to Evil as Frank Lampard faces up to Diego 'Dark Knight' Simeone, while Man City and Liverpool face stern Bundesliga tests in the form of Borussia Mönchengladbach and RB Leipzig. Elsewhere, we take a moment to celebrate Gérard Houllier’s amazing career, as numerous stalwarts from across football came together to pay their respects to a humble genius. We also hear the very best and worst of football fandom: namely, your Dad reminding you Cesc Fàbregas doesn’t know you exist and Blackburn Rovers acting on scouting recommendations from an 11-year-old.

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 Parker’s dulcet tones left Jürgen Klopp hot under the collar. Elsewhere, Arsenal continued to embarrass themselves, Everton fended off Chelsea and Newcastle piled more misery on Slaven Bilić and West Brom. Join us for all that and a bucketload besides!

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 hasn’t been cutting it.

Thanks to Jameson, we’re here to look ahead to football’s full return and things we can’t wait to get back to.

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? Kate, Vish and Luke chat about all of last night’s action as ex-Pompey player Brian Priske steers Midtjylland to another point and Agüero gets back in the goals. Elsewhere, we discuss the news that everyone at City is terrified of Ederson and ask why everything is going wrong at Sheffield United.

Welcome to your all-new episode of the Football Ramble! Marcus is joined by Jim and Andy to dissect all of the big events of the last 24 hours, including Manchester United's unceremonious dumping out of the Champions League at the hands of RB Leipzig. 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.

With the much-anticipated 2022 World Cup looming large in the distance we discuss the familiar routes the home nations will take to Qatar, as England book tickets to San Marino and Scotland play Israel for the 326th time. Jules, Andy and Pete also look back on an ultimately fruitless night for Brighton, as yet another bizarre call from VAR denied the Seagulls an impressive win against Southampton.

Another week, another Mourinho defensive block of despair. Join Kate, Jim and Pete as they get stuck into the north London derby - where Arsenal looked bereft of ideas up top and Héctor Bellerín could not take a throw-in. Meanwhile, it's looking much rosier over at Palace after Benteke bagged a brace. But their former boss Neil Warnock ain’t happy about the facilities at Stoke. He ain’t happy at all.

Jürgen’s boys got the job done against Ajax last night, with young goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher particularly impressive (even if he only got put there because he doesn’t score). Elsewhere, Pep Guardiola and Sérgio Conceição riled each other up so much that their respective sides forgot to stick any chances away.

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. It’s 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 Jürgen Klopp. Plus, Sergio Reguilón has been given a ham for his good work on Sunday and Brendy Rodgers has reportedly been jiving to Tina Turner.

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 McClaren’s sake. We reflect on a return to form in the Champions League for Manchester United and doff our caps to Olivier Giroud’s towering header that clinched Chelsea’s knockout spot.

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.

This little gap in football's relentless onslaught means Marcus, Luke and Pete have time to talk about some managerial changes in the Championship, as two legends at each end of the managerial spectrum take up new roles.

That’s it, then. It’s all over: England are out of the Nations League. Dry your eyes, mate - Marcus, Andy and Jim are here to conduct the post-mortem.
