    Can I have the little fish?

    Can I have the little fish?

    Vish is on the pod, Vish is on the pod!! Today, Pete celebrated the return of the man of the bat by going through his old tweets. Concerning…
    Elsewhere, Luke tells Marcus, Vish and Pete that he thinks Man United vs Liverpool was the barn-burner of the season. However, he also reveals that it wasn’t even the most exciting thing to happen this weekend after he had a bust up on X with Matt Le Tissier’s daughter-in-law. On a related note, Marcus also tells us how a “jocular slap” from Sean Dyche almost ruined Everton’s warm weather training camp.

    Mailbag: What defines a big club?

    Mailbag: What defines a big club?

    Are Arcade Fire bigger than Arsenal? Are Hula Hoops bigger than Man City? Should you play without a goalkeeper? How many defenders do you really need at a corner?
    Just a small sample of the questions Marcus, Luke and Jim get stuck into on today’s Mailbag.

    The Preview Show: Thrashing around in their own muck

    The Preview Show: Thrashing around in their own muck

    Marcus, Luke and Jim whizz round the best moments from last night’s European Battle of the Banter, as plenty of English sides impressed and Anthony Taylor delivered the best mugging off you’ll ever see from a ref.
    We then look ahead to this weekend’s FA Cup quarter-finals, as Man City face a beleaguered Newcastle and Man Utd face a lawsuit from their own staff. Away from that cup magic, we also prepare Arsenal’s application for the Saudi Mega League™ and Barclays Corporate Entertainment serves up a relegation ding dong!

    Came here for a shootout

    Came here for a shootout

    Arsenal’s penalty shootout win over Porto was so exhilarating that even the crowd were exhausted at the end - so how do you think a 41 year-old Pepe felt?
    Marcus, Jim, Pete and Andy breakdown the game and ask whether Martin Ødegaard could play football in a train station Pret a Manger. Plus, Pete tells us how to hack the UEFA computers ahead of next season’s Champions League draw and Jim has an idea for how Gareth Southgate can get a lifeless Jordan Henderson on the pitch at the Euros.

    Ramble Reacts: Chelsea win and Poch goes for dinner

    Ramble Reacts: Chelsea win and Poch goes for dinner

    Chelsea delivered a huge blow to Newcastle’s ambitions for the rest of the season – and a huge blow to Andy Brassell’s hopes of watching them play the runners-up from the Slovenian top-flight next season in the Europa Conference League. And that’s all coming from what could have been the real True Geordie, Pete Donaldson.
    Andy joins Pete to react to Chelsea’s 3-2 win over an increasingly beleaguered Newcastle, who Pete describes with probably the most unflattering simile in the history of football analysis. The lads discuss a chaotic game where Cole Palmer dazzled again, Mykhailo Mudryk thankfully didn’t offer out another fan again, and Mauricio Pochettino didn’t cancel dinner with his wife again. Plus, an unexpected appearance from Adam Sandler…

    Conspiracy Campbell

    What a weekend in the Prem! And after all the controversy, Pete has a brand new innovation for refereeing. Introducing… The No Context Man, sponsored by Ronseal!
    Unlike Andy Townsend, Pete, Andy and Jim have their vouchers for the football buffet and tuck right in. How did Liverpool manage to somehow feel disappointed with a draw having started with that lineup against Man City? Why is Mikel Arteta at it again on his whiteboard? And Neil Warnock’s left Aberdeen ALREADY!?

Genuinely the best

In a world of horribly biased major media and literal children, the Ramble stands far ahead of the rest. Kings, I tell you.

Farweight ,

Been listening for years.

Been listening for years and always will. Love the ramble.

brskyrme ,

Fun show

Always an enjoyable listen - manages to be lighthearted without becoming annoying. Would be 5 stars if they dropped the occasional attempts at political commentary.
