On today’s episode of Ramble Meets… we speak to former Manchester United, Fulham and West Brom midfielder Jonathan Greening.

It’s your favourite Football Ramble Daily duo, here to get stuck into some football! We start with Norwich’s incredible win over Manchester City, and discuss the wider connotations that may have in this season’s title race. Are Liverpool now the favourites?

In Daniel Farke’s voice: “A pleasing weekend of football in which many of the topics were covered, such as Norwich City’s 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.” Search ‘Football Ramble’ on social media to find us, and email us here: [email protected] ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Today’s episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, sees us travel back to the 1936 German Olympics. Journalist and sports writer David Owen joins us to discuss the chaotic quarter-final between Peru and Austria. The game was played against a backdrop of Nazi rule and propaganda in front of a fairly empty Stadion am Gesundbrunnen. These were two sides with contrasting fortunes throughout the 1930’s; Peru were beginning an impressive run of form that culminated in a victory at the 1939 Copa América, while Austria had begun a stark decline. Despite the sides’ lowly reputation, the match and extended aftermath were utterly bizarre. Join us as David, Jonathan and Marcus discuss a tumultuous affair involving a pitch invasion, three disallowed goals and a rescheduled game.

We’re off to Östersund, Sweden for our latest episode of Ramble Meets… There, Andy Brassell talks to goalkeeping coach and football journalist, David Preece. In this revealing interview, David describes how his playing career took him across England, Denmark and Iceland. He also touches on his more recent coaching stints at Lincoln City and now Östersunds FK. He discusses his childhood growing up in the North East, how playing abroad changed his outlook on life and why the analysis of goalkeeping is only just developing in the modern era of tactical fascination.

It's Tuesday, and that means everyone's favourite pair are back discussing the big football issues of the day. First up, Jules and Andy chat about the big kick off in the Women's Super League as over 30,000 fans attended the Manchester derby at the Etihad. Next, there's the big club v country debate after the international break.

Eeeeasy etc. England’s organised lions despatched Bulgaria at Wembley, Wales got the win they needed and Scotland unfortunately didn’t, but we’re 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.

For today’s episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, we’re joined by another member of the Football Ramble Daily parish: Andy Brassell! He’s here to discuss the 1971 European Cup final, where Rinus Michels’ imperious Ajax side took on Ferenc Puskás’ Panathinaikos. Ferenc Puskás’ return to Wembley - eighteen years after his miraculous display in Hungary’s 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 Vasović 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!

It’s the first international break of the season and we have a look at the most important contest of the week, which is of course Michael Owen vs Alan Shearer. Where the hell did that come from? Let’s see how this fascinating story develops. As well as minor things such as the Euro 2020 qualifiers we learn how to keep tabs on various Peters, flying footwear and the spotting of a Ramble favourite in the wild… Meanwhile, Luke inexplicably forgets about the very existence of Alan Hutton.

As well as enjoying a 12-year professional career consisting of over 400 appearances, Groves was a big part of the team that won two league titles for Arsenal under George Graham and was a fan favourite at Highbury, thanks to his exciting wing play and endearing nature.

What’s going wrong at Manchester United? That’s our first question on today’s episode of Jules & Andy, as we cast a reflective eye over Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s 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 Solskjær’s 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 Everton’s impressive roster of individuals can become a cohesive and consistent unit, and step up to the mantle when challenging for the Top 6.

An exhilarating North London Derby at the Emirates headlined a great weekend of football and we take a fond look back over starring roles from Granit Xhaka and Harry Kane, the pros and cons of Chelsea’s wobbly start to the season and Everton and Wolves playing out a humdinger of a ding dong. Segueing neatly on we also look at Swansea’s rout(ledge) of Leeds, a Sebastien Coates disaster-class and Eric Cantona’s latest role. This is the synopsis of the podcast. We love football.

For our latest episode of Greatest Games, we’re 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, many—Zidane included—felt 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 nation’s 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.

Away from that awful situation we do have a cracking weekend ahead, with an early North London Derby, Liverpool bringing their attacking verve to Burnley and Man United heading down to Southampton.

We start today’s 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. With some of the league’s brightest talents playing at Molineux we try to gauge what success might look like for Wolves, as well as the joys of adventure that their fans are tantalisingly close to. There’s also time for a look at some of the young British stars who have hugely impressed in the opening weeks, from James Maddison’s bid for an England place to Jadon Sancho’s scintillating form in the Bundesliga.

For our latest episode of Greatest Games, in association with The Blizzard, we’re looking back at that thrilling 1953 FA Cup final contested by Blackpool and Bolton: ‘The Stanley Matthews Final’. 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 ‘game of the people’ 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.

We’re here to ease you into another lovely weekend of football with The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! After finding out it’ll take seven insipid years to get used to VAR, as well as Ian Holloway’s confused take on international diplomacy, we turn our attention to the weekend’s fixtures. 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 Klopp’s Clan. We also discuss West Ham’s trip to Watford—which will no doubt result in a very intriguing match, what with West Ham’s poor start and Watford’s terrible one. We also squeeze in some chat on Sheffield vs Leicester and try to improve on our dismal record in Betway’s 4 To Score feature.

James Horncastle’s back in one of our continental hot seats and he’s packed some Serie A chat in his hand luggage! We start by talking about Juventus, as Sarri begins his reign in Turin. With the transfer window closing soon, their squad still looks a bit bloated— James discusses how they might be able to offload some of their fringe players as Sarri looks to streamline the team. We also discuss Franck Ribéry’s lovely move to Fiorentina and how they might get on under new coach Vincenzo Montella. We then head to France as Andy’s faves Lyon have got off to a great start (against admittedly poor opposition). Plus, there’s talk on Zinedine Zidane’s difficult task at the helm of Real Madrid and Thierry Henry sticking his cultured boot in.

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.

We’re back to take a deep dive into the biggest stories from another hectic weekend of football. We begin with a thorough look at Frank Lampard’s Chelsea after a promising but inconsistent draw with Leicester— will we see a return to the unease that plagued much of last season? Then we take a look at some of the players who have come up from the Championship as they look to adapt to the demands of the Premier League. Teemu Pukki has taken the bull by the horns after his hat-trick against Newcastle, while Southampton’s new star Che Adams hasn’t enjoyed as successful a start. We also look at Sol Campbell’s recent exit from Macclesfield after he excelled last season despite the constraints of ‘the worst job in the football league.’ Tell us your thoughts!

Time for a new episode of The Ramble, fresh out of the oven! We begin with the inevitable chat about VAR in City’s game against Spurs, but also take the time to acknowledge Kevin De Bruyne and Érik 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.

For the latest episode of Greatest Games, in association with the Blizzard, we’re off to the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille with Norwegian writer Lars Sivertsen. He talks us through the 1998 World Cup group game between Norway and reigning world champions Brazil, where two late goals from his unfancied home nation beat an XI featuring Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Dunga and Roberto Carlos. Lars discusses a risk-averse but hugely talented Norwegian side who, after disappointing results against Scotland and Morocco, had to win to secure their qualification from the group. After an 83rd minute equaliser from imposing striker Tore André Flo, Kjetil Rekdal struck the game-winning penalty in the final minutes— “with the lowest heart rate of any Norwegian.” For more stories from the annals of football history, visit www.theblizzard.co.uk to explore their archives that contain over 700 articles of stories just like this one!

We’re back in our Cristiano Ronaldo pants and ready for some weekend footy— let’s hope Jurgen’s washed his pair after all last night’s penalty shoot out excitement! We discuss that Super Cup win for Liverpool and look ahead to their next game against Southampton this weekend.

We get stuck into the recent Champions League qualifiers, as Ajax battle through two tough legs against PAOK.

Speaking exclusively to us at the club's training centre in Le Haillan, Sousa explains how Sven-Göran Eriksson helped turn a shy boy from provincial Portugal into a midfield maestro, tells us about finding a spiritual home in Italian football, how his experiences in England shaped his philosophy and how he plans to bring the good times back to Bordeaux.

The Premier League got off to a flyer and we’re here to dissect the biggest stories from the weekend. We begin by discussing some of the impressive debuts across the league, including Harry Maguire’s imperious performance for Manchester United and Tanguy Ndombele’s classy turnout for Tottenham. Then we turn to the newly promoted sides as Norwich and Sheffield United resolutely stuck to their respective styles of play that secured promotion last year. Is this a developing trend that will continue throughout this Premier League season? Finally we look ahead to tomorrow’s UEFA Super Cup and Stéphanie Frappart, as she makes history as the first woman to officiate a final of a men’s UEFA competition. Jules reflects on how this is a hugely encouraging sign for young women seeking professional opportunities in football. Fancy getting in touch?

Welcome to the first of our brand new ‘Greatest Games’ 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 it’s 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 couldn’t follow the flight of the ball and Milan’s 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.

Every Tuesday we’ll be dissecting the biggest stories in football and we start with the impending circus that is Transfer Deadline Day. We discuss how the British window’s early closure might actually benefit English sides and Andy talks us through how some European managers are jealous of their British counterparts. Elsewhere we discuss the depressing situations at Bolton and Bury respectively, as Jules and Andy both recount their experiences of struggles at their respective EFL clubs.

Elsewhere, we run through some cracking goals to kick off the Championship season as Luton Town and Middlesborough played out a six-goal thriller.

With so many of the game’s biggest prizes being played at once it’s a great time to be a football fan, especially if you’re of a Geordie persuasion. Steve Bruce’s mere presence was enough to get his Newcastle United revolution under ho-way with a seismic victory over West Ham. Alongside all this there’s embarrassment and contrition from Kilmarnock, a Burnley fan with a level of commitment that’d probably be better used elsewhere and a guest appearance from Bernie Sanders.

We’re back in your ears and though we were only gone for a short while, the football Gods (Newcastle United) have provided, in the squishy form of Steve Bruce. We react with a range of emotions while also casting an eye over Frank Lampard’s appointment at Stamford Bridge and looking at some of the more interesting transfers we’ve seen so far this summer.
