The Premier League does not let you down. And nor do Jimbo, Natalie Gedra, Charlie Eccleshare and Daniel Storey. Brentford batter Man United 4-0 in West London, after a masterclass of pressing and set-piece routine work from Thomas Frank’s Bees. Plenty of problems for Erik ten Hag but hear why Ronaldo must go. After an absorbing affair, and a handshake for the ages, the spoils are shared between Chelsea and Spurs on Sunday, thanks to Antonio Conte finally having a bench to call upon. Only Man City and Arsenal have 2 wins out of 2. How far can Jesus take the Gunners? And Forest get lucky at the City Ground but a very promising midfield partnership is blooming. Plus Werner, Willian and Brighton playing Jenga.

Roberto Martínez nearly pulled out some of those saucy moves in that electric Cardiff atmosphere last night, with Beefy Moore's equaliser enough to get Wales a seeded play-off spot. We get into that, before Marcus and Luke console Lars Sivertsen after Norway's disciplined display bore no fruit against Louis van Gaal and the Deathstar. We also check in with the sorry situation at Derby County and get a *crucial* Inter Miami update, as financial fiddling gives way to Neville nepotism.

Suj & James kick off Day 6 of Correspondent Week by welcoming Norwich City Correspondent Mark Hammond to discuss The Canaries hopes of staying up and FPL enablers. Norwich start with a brutal start of Liverpool, Man City, Leicester & Arsenal... surely we can't start with any of their FPL assets... well it takes Mark 5 minutes to get Suj & James very interested in one particular player and it becomes clear during the Podcast that there are a number of budget players who should be considered despite the daunting start and there is an encouraging run of fixtures after the difficult start. Will The Canaries be better than their previous campaign in the Premier League? They might be, but will it be enough to survive? And will Mark captain Mo Salah against The Canaries in GW1?

The other legendary half of the Great Wall of Gambia and current head coach of Pacific FC joins us to talk about his time as a professional in Norway, the Middle East, the Timbers, and the Whitecaps. Playing? Sure, but what about the coaching... Did Carl Robinson deserve to be fired? What about that cluster-you-know-what at FC Cincinnati? Who deserves a statue outside of Providence Park? Because it’s unavoidable and we can’t pretend it doesn’t affect people of color, no matter how successful they are, racism also enters the conversation. What you can avoid, however, is aggravation in the box on a set piece, at least after Mr. Kah dishes on the game within the game.

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.

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 all love a football-based spat, be it between teammates, rival managers, or a Knight of the Realm and a slice of pizza. It may be neither big nor clever, but let’s be honest it’s brilliant and we love it. From classic Dutch bust ups, long running feuds between managers, or even between managers and institutions, to those momentary explosions of emotion that live on forever, we have a good old chuckle at the lot.

International week is here and it brings glee for England, Scotland and Northern Ireland but an unexpectedly savage time for our Norwegian listeners. Sorry about that. There's not just action on the pitch though! There's an update on Adrian Chiles' webcam, we learn about the Pulis family values and Gianluigi Buffon chimes in with a surprisingly retro dig.Find us online at thefootballramble.com, @footballramble on Twitter and facebook.com/footballramble on Facebook.

Chelsea at Newcastle United Barclays Premier League GUEST: Robert, Managing Editor of Coming Home Newcastle (http://cominghomenewcastle.sbnation.com/) @BishopSBN Talking Points: Newcastle won at home to end Chelsea’s unbeaten streak Most Chelsea fans used not having Matic as the excuse Newcastle are coming off a 3-1 loss to Man United and a 1-0 loss in the FA Cup to Leicester City Newcastle doesn’t have a manager at the moment, only a caretaker. This shouldn’t change too much though, right? I mean he’s essentially just maintaining what Pardew was doing. Rumors that Mike Ashley wants to sell the club. How does that affect the team’s focus? Sissoko rumored to be heading to PSG Chelsea are 9-0-0 at Stamford Bridge, but are coming off a heavy loss to Tottenham and an expected win against Watford in the FA Cup Chelsea don’t have any reported injuries nor anybody going to the African or Asian Cup thanks to Drogba turning down that opportunity Newcastle have two players at the African Cup: Papiss Cisse (thankfully!) and Cheick Tiote and 12 reported injuries mainly to the defensive unit, right? Tim Krul looks set to return though Four Four Two Highlights Key Battle: Costa vs Dummett Newcastle have scored more goals via substitutes than anybody else (cough Cisse, cough) Chelsea score on 18% of shots and their shots are on frame 50% or the time (most in PL) Last 6 matches CFC: 3-1-2 Newcastle: 2-1-3 Standings CFC: 1st* Newcastle: 10th Past meeting: December, 2014 - CFC 1-2 NUFC Predictions Brandon: CFC 2-0 Newcastle Dan: CFC 2-0 Newcastle Nick: CFC 3-1 Newcastle Robert: CFC 2-1 Newcastle Contact Us Tweet Us! https://twitter.com/LondonBluePod Email Us! mailto:[email protected] iTunes http://t.co/yrwBI6lfzn Stitcher http://bit.ly/1uZn8hZ Pocket Casts http://pcasts.in/feed/londonisbluepodcast.libsyn.com/rss SoundCloud http://soundcloud.com/londonis-blue This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/londonbluepod/support Learn more about your ad choices.
