Football Ramble

Marcus, Luke and Jim have plenty of midweek mulch to wade through as this weird Champions League gameshow rolls on with Liverpool still top of the pile. Do they get a trophy?In diplomatic matters elsewhere, Jonjo Shelvey makes a triumphant return to English football and Gianni Infantino makes a triumphant return to his usual buffoonery.

Marcus and Vish check in after Chelsea finally get a decent league win, with Trevoh Chalobah’s classy return to the Bridge proving very timely - even if Noni Madueke nicked his goal from inside a yard out. Poor, that.They wonder if this represents a return to form for the Blues or if there’s still a bit of the basket case about them. Plus, Wolves’ insistence on just doing the fun stuff could prove fatal as their collection of spicy ballplayers can’t seem to play it safe.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Everton looked completely resurrected under David Moyes. Is he really the Moyesiah or are Tottenham just very naughty boys?Elsewhere, Marcus, Jim, Vish and Pete believe that Bournemouth could have put in the best Premier League performance of the season to dispatch Newcastle.

Hasn't it been lovely to see David Moyes back in the dugout at Goodison Park? But is it actually a good idea for a club to re-appoint a manager from years gone by?Once Marcus, Jim and Andy have pondered on that, they ask whether TV companies are focussing too much on clipable content. Plus, in the next edition of Richard Keys' Bond films, who's going to be the Bond villain?Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Man United were so close to forgetting to print their Southampton voucher before Amad Diallo saved the day. It's a shame really…Although Vish doesn't think so. Today, he, Marcus, Jim and Andy share another update from Lazio’s fake phallus fondling falconer and Fizzer tries to motivate his team ahead of the new MLS season.

Luke and Andy jump on the mics after Arsenal made off with the three points in north London – partly thanks to Spurs’ makeshift defence behaving very makeshift-y again and partly thanks to Gabriel’s magnetic bonce.We wonder whether Arsenal’s Brazilian centre half is the best player in the league in both boxes and ask whether Mikel Arteta’s men are still convincing us at all. Poor old Kai Havertz certainly isn’t. On the upside for Spurs, their keeper Antonin Kinsky provided us with one of the best pieces of skill of the season…Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Nottingham Forest are the most organised team in the league according to Luke Moore. Today, Marcus, Luke, Andy and Jim are full of praise - and thanks - for the Tricky Trees after they kept the title race just about alive against Liverpool last night.Elsewhere, Andy shares his wish for Pep Guardiola to end the suffering and leave Man City. Plus, what do the Lazio eagle handler and Pelé have in common?

The Premier League is back and so are two of the Kingdom's finest. David Moyes and Graham Potter return to the Barclays to manage the Evertons and the West Hams of this league, but what can we expect from their returns?Elsewhere, Marcus, Luke and Vish give us a fresh Wayne Rooney update after he announced his £8k-a-shot 'Train with Wayne' sessions in Dubai. Please David, surely he can at least make the teas at Everton? Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Tottenham are in the hat for the FA Cup fourth round! But don’t think Marcus, Luke and Vish let them off scot-free after they were taken to extra-time by Tom Tonks & co at Tamworth.Elsewhere, as predicted, there were a couple of third round "murders" for us to sniff out alongside a hint of nostalgia about Arsenal’s penalty defeat to Man United. Plus, we wonder how Rhodri reacted to Man City beating Salford City 8-0. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

It's FA Cup weekend, ladies and gents. Unfortunately though, if non-league Tamworth get a draw against Spurs, they won't be getting a replay at Tottenham. Obviously that's a crying shame, but what should the teams at the top of English football do to compensate those at the bottom?Marcus, Luke, and Andy also ask whether José Mourinho would make a good firefighter manager and respond to your suggestions about the gadgets Richard Keys could hand over to Andy Gray, the new James Bond.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.
