    The Final Countdown

    The Final Countdown

    It’s all going down to the final day. Fulham’s kite training didn’t work after all. 
    Marcus, Jim, Vish and Andy wave farewell to Burnley and Luton Town, who exited the Premier League more quickly than Casemiro exited his own penalty area. Meanwhile, Marcus and Jim tell everyone about their magical time at Craven Cottage and – suddenly – Crystal Palace are the most exciting team in the league. Blimey! 
    There’s also the small matter of the title race and – speaking of the best – it’s high time for a Phil Neville update…

    Mailbag: Should a player's success be defined by trophies?

    Mailbag: Should a player's success be defined by trophies?

    Harry Kane has gone another season without winning a trophy. Today, Marcus tries to convince Luke and Jim that a trophyless career wouldn’t tarnish Kane’s legacy - he’s always been a romantic, has our Marcus.
    Elsewhere, Luke makes the case for Sam Allardyce’s Bolton to return to the Premier League, Marcus shares his plans to stop time-wasting and Jim invents a new strange managerial version of Capture the Flag. It’s the Mailbag!

    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.

Football’s best podcast

The ramble is a refreshing reminder of what’s actually important about football- the entertainment. A rotating cast of brilliant broadcasters and journalists indulge in the silliness inherent in the game as well as offering more serious insight and debate. It’s the perfect balance and a tonic for the often dour and copy/paste punditry found elsewhere.

It’s a shame I could only give five stars.

A comforting mix of funny and insightful, silly and serious. One of the best footy podcasts in the game - Easy.
