Fans back in stadiums, Lionel Messi again, Newcastle digs aplenty, and Michael Owen's new beer

What's going on, everyone! It's time for an all-fresh, brand spanking new episode of the Football Ramble! Today, Marcus, Jim and Pete join forces to deliver the warmest takes on the big football stories of the last 24 hours. They cover the prospect of fans going back into stadiums, Lionel Messi's Dad, Carl Jenkinson in the Crystal Dome, *and* Marcus at Glasgow Garden Festival.

Elsewhere, we examine Pete Donaldson's expenses and why he is also a member of a Zimbabwean whatsapp group, have a group laugh at Newcastle United (again), and discuss Michael Owen's new brand of beer.
