    Elsewhere, Pete explains why Wayne Rooney was the ultimate winner this weekend and the Ramblers advise Leeds United not to bother with the Play-offs in future.

    Mailbag: Where have all the elite managers gone?

    Mailbag: Where have all the elite managers gone?

    Bayern want the Burnley manager, while Chelsea want the Ipswich, Brentford and Leicester managers. So, where did all the established ‘super coaches’ go? Or are the super clubs just in a right old s**t state and no one wants to be Louis van Gaaled?
    Marcus, Jim and Vish offer their theories on today’s Mailbag. Plus, daft suggestions for a fourth domestic cup competition and a listener asks us for our extremely niche football awards. Most Crimson Red Card of the Season, anyone? Come join us!

    The Preview Show: Manchester United can’t jump

    The Preview Show: Manchester United can’t jump

    What will it take for Man United to beat Man City in this weekend’s FA Cup final? Computer hacking? Marcus, Vish, Jim and Pete genuinely have no answers on today's Ramble. Poor Vish.
    Elsewhere, the lads hail future pub quiz answer Ademola Lookman and Jim makes the case for Steve Bruce taking the Man United job while Pete backs him to go on I’m a Celebrity instead. Vish also argues that pub Sunday roasts are overrated... outrageous!

    Lions Watch: Who should make England's final squad?

    Lions Watch: Who should make England's final squad?

    Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad is out! So, who would we drop for the final 26? Marcus and Luke discuss that on today’s Lions Watch.
    Plus, a listener asks perhaps the biggest question heading into the tournament: how can England get the best out of Phil Foden? Marcus explains why playing Foden and Bellingham together isn’t another Frank Lampard-Steven Gerrard problem. And do we find ourselves agreeing with Paul Merson?!

    Come home José

    José Mourinho, Erik ten Hag and Frank Lampard... they’re just some of the names that Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy want for the Chelsea job now Mauricio Pochettino has left. But Chelsea also have another HUGE decision to make: do they keep the lemons?
    Elsewhere, there is the small matter of England’s provisional squad for Euro 2024. Plus, the Ramblers bring you news of Scott Carson getting in a fight and a Dutch referee who has been banned for the best reason ever!

Thanks to the Ramble

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..
