]]> It's the weekend everybody! And we've got a chocker Fri, Sat and Sun full of football goodness. Arsenal host Chelsea in the big one on Sunday. As both sides prepare for it, John Terry asks once again: "Why am I not the Chelsea manager?" There are probably a few reasons for that, JT.


Marcus, Jim and Vish preview that. Plus, Ryan Yates attempts to calm his ravenous sausage dog, André Onana eyes a return to Manchester United, and we all gather to celebrate a decade of Gianni Infantino at FIFA. Ten more years! Ten more years!

]]> Harry Kane celebrated his 100th England cap last night by wearing a pair of golden Skechers. Charlie Kane must be really proud of himself for organising that one.


Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete are here to reflect on England’s win last night and also quieten some of the hype surrounding future World Cup winner Angel Gomes. Elsewhere, Craig Bellamy has his summer jacket destroyed by some extraordinary rain. However, Bellamy is still happy, unlike Kevin De Bruyne and Emiliano Martínez who both enjoyed a strop while on international duty this week.

]]> Who is England’s left back for the Euros? And more importantly: who is the team’s official psychic medium? Derren Brown, it’s time to step up.


Marcus and Luke are back with another Lions Watch – and with Gareth Southgate’s squad announcement just around the corner, it’s a big one! They discuss Luke Shaw’s injury setback, Luke makes the case for a VERY surprising call-up from Newcastle, and Marcus names the two England players he thinks should have got fewer caps. Big clue: one of them had a ponytail and one of them is a ****. Join us!

]]> Found out. Finished podcast. Marcus, Jim and Vish are frauds.


We’re back to look over a jam-packed weekend! Ipswich are back in the Premier League, while Jamie Vardy’s daughter tells 30,000 people to f**k off. 


Meanwhile, was thrashings galore in the Premier League, with Sheffield United and West Ham kindly providing some end-of-season vouchers. Plus, we hear Roy Keane’s stare, the lads speculate how the Premier League will mug Burnley off in the most ridiculous way possible, and Marcus tips a 37-year-old National League player for the England squad. It’s getting out of hand now.

]]> Today, we’re throwing it back to the start of 2023 and reliving some of our favourite Ramble moments!


The final stretch of the 2022/23 season saw some “proper gubbings", including Liverpool's seven-goal demolition of Man United. Oh, and don't forget the poor bloke who went to fill up his car and returned to his radio to find Spurs 5-0 down to Newcastle. The first half of 2023 of course also featured Andy losing his head at Luke during a game of Jack’s Encyclopaedia and our glorious trip to Wembley! And remember, Vish will never be a better bloke than Bukayo Saka…

Today, Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete are back for our (now weekly) Ramble Mailbag! On the show, the Ramblers are given the power to overturn one result from football history and Luke, nobly, decides to use his powers for good to overturn one of football’s great injustices. There's also a story about an 80-year-old Norwegian referee that has officiated over 5000 matches across two different sports... and is still going strong!

]]> PSG are The Wombles of European football. That’s the conclusion that Dotun, Andy and David come to when trying to work out when PSG will ever not be in a transitional period. Today, we discuss Messi’s suspension from PSG and why he is heading for his second backdoor exit in a row.


Plus, Dotun asks “why are we waiting” as Napoli’s title celebrations are put on hold and we hear all about the “Sam Allardyce of Spain” and why Valencia’s chances of survival in La Liga are looking increasingly slim.
