Football Ramble

There have been so many international fixtures it’s as if it’s all building up to some kind of World’s Fair of football. There have been 0-0 thrillers, heartbreak for Northern Ireland, the glorious sight of Herve Renard and his lucky shirt and Australia being Australian. Elsewhere there are expectations of higher standards, Tom Heaton (obviously), behaviour arches and the odd geography lesson.  The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.

West Ham kindly sacked Slaven Bilic before we recorded this time around enabling us to go to town on the Hammers, including Andy Carroll’s fairly robust advice for the fans. Elsewhere there's time for more handshake drama, the joy of bendy headers courtesy of Mr Morata, and Everton and Watford's game of the season contender which also provided something for Unsy to be happy about.On top of that we learn about Graeme Souness’ small box, enjoy some cupsets and marvel at the evergreen, evermassive everPeter Crouch.

A frothy show as we enjoy the exploits of Spurs and young Harry Billy Winks, the lines on Pep Guardiola’s forehead visibly smooth out as he enjoys life and lusts after defeated Napoli and Antonio Conte wonders what the point of it all is.Elsewhere Roy Keane hits the form of his life as a pundit, the future looks bright for good old Peter Reid, and the correspondence gets tasty.

Joe Hart is despondent, and we mean really despondent, after West Ham conceded a 97th minute equaliser to Big Roy and his boys. Basically everyone is fuming with professional-headerer Michail Antonio but not us! Not us, no! We are delighted for the drama here at Ramble HQ.Elsewhere, for obvious reasons (mostly physical) it's not easy to cast David Unsworth aside but Claude Puel and his Leicester team managed it in some style on Sunday and so the boys ruminate on what that may mean for Everton this season as the Toffees lurch from one crisis to another.And as if Marcus would ever let an England triumph slip under the radar - he's cock-a-hoop about those U17s doing a demolition job on, well let's face it, the entire world really and thinks it bodes well for the summer. Of course he does.Stay tuned for a Going for Glold controversy as well. Blimey, it's all happening here this week...The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.

Frankly, if you're Dejan Lovren you should probably swerve this one. Poor guy. We look at Spurs getting cosy at Wembley and a doozy at Goodison Park where poor old Ronald Koeman’s Everton once again failed to set an example.Elsewhere a Premier League legend teaches us about brain signals, we question Garth Crooks' preparation methods and we learn of a truly awful Christmas beverage, invented by Pete.

We maraud across football like David Luiz marauds across a football pitch, with Big Sam heading Stateside, Leicester getting bored and hitting their panic button and Sadio Mane getting a distressing new fitness regime. And we may also be witnessing the end of an era as Mike Ashley looks to sell up.

As a weird dust cloud floats over Ramble HQ we lose ourselves over Roy Hodgson shuffling Crystal Palace into life, Man City playing the best football in all of recorded history ever and recoil at news of an interesting portrait Pete owns.There also digs from Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Troy Deeney...it's like an episode of Time Team.The Football Ramble, the original and best football podcast.
