Football Ramble

Luke and Andy are back with the lowdown on a bustling deadline day! It left us pondering: will Stamford Bridge be blown up by extra-terrestrials? We also discuss why Newcastle’s group of dread in the Champions League isn’t so bad after all and commiserate Luton Town after they couldn’t sniff out a single morsel at the Kenny last night! Follow us on Twitter , Instagram , TikTok and YouTube , and em...

Marcus, Jim and Luke are back to look ahead to the Premier League weekend and react to an England squad with some familiar faces.

Join us to kick off the weekend! Follow us on Twitter , Instagram , TikTok and YouTube , and em...

Sweet, sweet Carabao! It was the second round of the League Cup last night and today Marcus, Luke, Andy and Jim are loving Marco Silverware instead after Fulham overcame Ange-ball at the Cottage.

Rejoice! The Barclays has delivered again! Marcus, Jim and Luke have got no less than three contenders for barn burner of the weekend to get stuck into on today’s show. The lads also agree that Jason Tindall would probably thrive on a grown up version of Love Island, discuss how David Moyes and his band of Ferrymen ruined Brighton’s party, and celebrate the fact that a Sunderland player manag...

Luke and Andy check in after Chelsea’s routine win against Luton Town, but are left with more questions than answers. Are Chelsea actually good? Are they a cohesive team or just a collection of sparkly individuals? And how doomed are Luton? At least Mauricio Pochettino has decided to go Full Redknapp… Follow us on Twitter , Instagram , TikTok and YouTube , and email us here: show@footballramb...

Marcus, Pete, Vish and Andy are here to pull up the curtain on the third Premier League weekend of the season! But we’ve got much bigger fish to fry, like the 2023 Greenlandic top flight where one team pulled out to go on a reindeer hunt. We preview Chelsea vs Luton Town - is it the biggest mismatch the Premier League has ever seen? - and discuss Inter Miami reaching ANOTHER final, but with Lionel...

There’s nothing quite like Ally McCoist doing co-comms at Ibrox. Today Marcus, Jim, Vish and Pete are here not only to reflect on that but ask the important question: Does Luuk de Jong remind you of Terminator? Elsewhere, we try to decide whether Pep Guardiola will ask a fan to manage Man City while he recovers from back surgery and Jim starts beef with a child... Follow us on  Twitter ,&nbsp...

Come for analysis of referee David Coote’s decisions last night. Stay for the surprisingly long chat about the humble coot.

The Lionesses fell short, but Mary Queen of Stops gave us one last cheer! Marcus, Luke, Vish and Jim commiserate England’s defeat in the Women’s World Cup final, wonder whether Michael Keane put in one of the worst displays we’ve seen in literally years, and find out why Dan Gosling has been disrupting games in east London. Plus, anyone up for a urinal on the outside of their house? The Football R...

Marcus is here to officially open the weekend, which is great news for the nation as the Lionesses can now play their World Cup final on Sunday. He’s joined by Luke, Andy and Jim to revel in the excitement and look ahead to The PIF Posse’s big clash with Man City at the weekend. We also congratulate Micheal Olise for being persuaded to stay at Crystal Palace (thanks to hard man Roy Hodgson obvious...

Who should be the head of the goalkeeper's union? That’s the question Marcus, Pete, Jim and Vish ask today after Aaron Ramsdale and David Raya protest the goalkeeper's union will be stronger than any potential rivalry for the Arsenal no.1 shirt. Elsewhere, we ask why the Saudi Pro League is feeling like a big vat of soup made up of ageing players. Neymar - aka the Zayn Malik of football - is of co...

Marcus and Luke reconvene after Man United’s haphazard heist saw them stole a point from under Wolves’ noses last night. Just like old times! We wonder if Andre Onana’s a lucky man after his rugby tackle (spoiler: he is) and ask what United need to do to improve things going forward. We also give some props to Gary O’Neil’s brave boys. Follow us on Twitter , Instagram , TikTok and YouTube , and em...

Julen Lopetegui’s stint at Wolves is officially over, but thankfully his return ticket to the continent is probably still valid. Today Marcus, Andy and Pete are here to discuss whether Gary O’Neil is the Gaviscon that Wolves now need. Andy then tries to win the West Ham fans over by explaining that their new signing is “tough as old boots”, before we explain why Kevin de B...

The new season is upon us! And where else to start but Pete’s potential incompetence as a fishmonger.
