Football Ramble

It was a big night in the Champions League last night and there is one burning question that we have to ask: Did you see what Man City were wearing pre-match?Fashion choices aside, there was plenty for Pete, Luke and Vish to enjoy from the game including Dani Carvajal making it his personal mission to hunt DJ Grealo and Carlo Ancelotti seemingly not understanding that managers could get yellow cards also.

The footballing gods have delivered! We’ve been served up the best piece of Barclays news of the season so far. Big Sam Allardyce has been given four games to save Leeds United and Pete, Luke and Jim couldn’t resist jumping on to record a pod and revel in the news.Although this is good news for the Ramble we do accept that it's probably not great for Patrick Bamford...anyone for a culture clash? We also consider a situation where Big Sam keeps Leeds up without winning a game, and if that isn't the romantic side of the Beautiful Game, then what is?Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com. Sign up for our Patreon for exclusive live events, ad-free Rambles, full video episodes and loads more: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Imagine your loudmouth mate left your hometown, became one of the Premier League’s most fearsome strikers and secured a Premier League title, an FA Cup triumph and a Ballon d’Or nomination. Well, no need - Jamie Vardy did just that.Marcus, Andy, Luke and Jim get the party started with a look back over a phenomenal journey of grit, determination and shithousery. From gradually making a name for himself in non-league football to a foiled move to a club in Ibiza - Pacha, probably - his earlier years were a relentless, brutal lesson in goalscoring. And, after a slow start to the Premier League after a record-breaking move to Leicester, him and his motley crew of pirates went on to become modern day icons of English football.Let us know what you thought of today’s Guide.
