FIFA World Cup 2026

Whisper it: Leicester City are on the verge of another title. If they play as well as they did last night in their next 31 games, it’s theirs for the taking! Marcus, Andy and Jim are here with reaction to Leicester’s dismantling of Leeds Utd, who looked a bit more nervous and tentative than in recent games. We also look over Fulham’s first win of the season against fellow relegation strugglers West Brom, while Chelsea’s fourth-choice goalkeeper Petr Cech is keeping it all business.

Each Premier League match seems to be falling into one of two categories: ‘chaotic goal-fest’ or ‘tedious, dull nonsense’. Join Jules, Luke and Pete on today’s episode as we sort through this weekend’s games. Southampton’s 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 Newcastle’s win over Everton and Mick McCarthy’s new gig, in an action-packed edition of the Football Ramble! The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.

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.
