    The Preview Show: Foreverkusen

    The Preview Show: Foreverkusen

    It was heartbreak for Aston Villa last night – but at least Matty Cash isn’t in the throes of a zombie apocalypse.
    Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy reflect on Olympiacos’ ascent to Mount Olympus with the Europa Conference League trophy and wonder if Bayer Leverkusen will ever lose again after they broke the European record. There’s also a huge weekend in the title race to get stuck into, Fulham’s owner appearing in a wrestling match, and Nobby Solano’s return to the north-east! 
    Plus, Wayne Rooney completes his journey to becoming Luke’s all-time favourite Top Bloke. Join us!

    Lions Watch: What goes with Rice?

    Lions Watch: What goes with Rice?

    Marcus and Luke are back with the second edition of Lions Watch before Euro 2024! This week, they react to the news that a creaky Harry Maguire might be even more creaky come June: that’s because he reportedly won’t be fit for the FA Cup final.
    After the battle between England’s young midfielders on Monday night left people clamouring for Adam Wharton, Marcus and Luke debate who joins Rice and Bellingham in midfield – and why it might be time for Southgate to (gasp) experiment a little bit. Plus, it’s Michael Owen’s turn on The Take Thermometer! I wonder how he got on…

    Ramble Reacts: Joselu? JOSELU!?

    Ramble Reacts: Joselu? JOSELU!?

    Real Madrid did it AGAIN! They beat Bayern Munich 2-1 and it was all thanks to that man Joselu. Well, and Manuel Neuer’s slippery hands.
    Marcus and Vish react to a vintage Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu and try to figure out where Harry Kane can go next to win a trophy. Plus, does Vish want Thomas Tuchel at Man United?

    Can we change leagues?

    Can we change leagues?

    Marcus Speller’s Aunty is giddy: an Englishman is going to win the Champions League! He’s joined by Luke, Andy and Vish to celebrate Dortmund returning to Wembley for a Champions League final and try to decide how to make things better for PSG. Should we let them in the Premier League?
    Elsewhere, Marcus shows some concern for Casemiro after his recent form and the Ramble community officially nails its colours to the Erik ten Hag Mast, as the lads hope he will stay at Man United for another season. Plus, what’s next for David The Ferryman Moyes, after it was announced that his time at West Ham is coming to an end.

    Rock, paper, scissors…

    Rock, paper, scissors…

    Found out. Finished podcast. Marcus, Jim and Vish are frauds.
    We’re back to look over a jam-packed weekend! Ipswich are back in the Premier League, while Jamie Vardy’s daughter tells 30,000 people to f**k off. 
    Meanwhile, was thrashings galore in the Premier League, with Sheffield United and West Ham kindly providing some end-of-season vouchers. Plus, we hear Roy Keane’s stare, the lads speculate how the Premier League will mug Burnley off in the most ridiculous way possible, and Marcus tips a 37-year-old National League player for the England squad. It’s getting out of hand now.

    Mailbag: What are the biggest myths in football?

    Mailbag: What are the biggest myths in football?

    Are penalties really a lottery? Is it harder to play against 10 men? Should a goalkeeper never be beaten at their near post? Today, Marcus, Jim and Vish are on hand to debunk some of the biggest myths in football.
    Elsewhere, they debate whether one-club men are a thing of the past and which players Man United definitely SHOULD sign this summer (for the good of the Ramble, of course). Plus, Vish pitches for a new cooking show with Bukayo Saka and Giorgio Chiellini.

Thanks to the Ramble

Glorious

Perfect football chat for British millennials

I’ve listened to this podcast for the best part of twelve years, and it’s one of my favourites. You feel like you’re listening in on 4+ mates talking and joking about the sport they love. Each person has a unique personality that works well in combo with others. It does have a British mainstream millennial male vibe to it (self-referential witty banter, the deliberate juxtaposition of intelligent discussion with low-level ‘banter’, nostalgia for the 90s etc.) which might not be to everyone’s tastes, but are definitely to mine.

For me, it did peak in the first half of the 2010s with the original 4 and hasn’t quite hit those heights again. However, that could equally be a reflection on my age and stage at that time. It still definitely retains enough of what I originally loved to keep me listening weekly. Highly recommended for football enjoyers.

Still the best

Great podcast now that they have got rid of the insufferable mason. Just need to bin pish and braless now. Would have give it 5 stars if not for the fact that they’re all shameless hypocrites. Hilarious though..
