Football Ramble

Right, it's Easter Monday, but football waits for no-one and so we're back in the studio ruminating on what's been happening on this, the holiest of weekends. Obviously Man City and Liverpool both won, the latter partly thanks to Sean Morrison's back, but don't forget, Everton also dished out a hiding. Mr Solskjaer is obviously absolutely fuming about it.Elsewhere Pete tries to defend his dreadful opinion of Ayoze Perez after he netted a hat-trick against Southampton, Shokdran Mustafi does his usual, and George Weah has to deal with a worrying infestation...To get in touch, it's: show@thefootballramble.com!***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

WOW! Spurs and Man City serve up one of the maddest, most entertaining games in recent memory and as if that wasn’t enough we get to see them do it all again on Sunday. Liverpool had a calmer time of it but have to be wary of Neil Warnock’s slightly resurgent Cardiff, while Man United look like the party might be over. Again. Elsewhere Andros Townsend infiltrates our dreams, there’s confusion about Ed the Duck and tabard etiquette, while yet more doctors get in touch. This show is sponsored by bet365Search ‘Football Ramble’ on social media to find us, and email us here: show@thefootballramble.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.

Liverpool keep doing the business and though Shay Given may have barely looked up from his dinner when Mo Salah scored one of the goals of the season, we couldn’t believe our luck. We also found time to despair at Everton’s performance against Fulham, find that a discussion on aspect ratio and frame rates leads to an explanation of how Newcastle are programmed, and enjoy some innovative product placement from West Ham’s owners.Search ‘Football Ramble’ on social media to find us, and email us here: show@thefootballramble.com***Please take the time to rate and review us on iTunes or wherever you get your pods.
