After consulting some Proper Football Men, the Premier League has tried to dial back VAR by making it more complicated. Clangers galore!
Kate, Luke and Pete tackle that with minimal contact before looking over the latest Champions League qualifiers, where Rangers legend Steven Davis nabbed a late goal against Malmö. There's also time for a Dani Alves update and the latest around Chelsea as they plot another bid for Romelu Lukaku.

Soccer

As Liverpool found out, all the romantic farewell narrative in the world can’t stop a freshly tracksuit-bottomed Sean Dyche delivering a hammer blow to your title chances. And what a performance from that new lad, Daniel Calvert-Lewin!
Marcus and Luke give their takes on a dismal night for Liverpool which needed a calm slot into the bottom corner, but instead got Darwin Núñez desperately smashing the ball into Jordan Pickford’s meaty thighs. Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag serves up smiley faces covered in chocolate sauce (again), there's an unwelcome reminder of Paul Jewell’s jewel, and we have live reports from Pete Donaldson on Jason Tindall Watch at Selhurst Park. What more could you ask for!

Ramble Reacts: Everton halt Klopp’s last dance

“We’ve just beat Chelsea 5-0. Shall we take this upstairs?” Marcus, Luke, Pete and Vish react to a demolition job at the Emirates and some extremely intimate celebrations for the Arsenal fans.
Elsewhere, the Ramblers show their support for Gary Neville being taken to task, even if Nottingham Forest are still embarrassing. Speaking of which, Luke also gives his thoughts on Erik ten Hag’s latest press conference. Plus, Marcus prepares to honour Bruce Forsyth live at The London Palladium!

Hathaway the lads

Marcus is calling for more corruption from officials after VAR correctly ruled out Coventry’s winner against Man United. At least the result means Erik ten Hag might keep his Job. So there is something for us all to enjoy.
Elsewhere, Marcus, Jim and Pete investigate another huge conspiracy after hearing rumours that the VAR official in the Everton vs Forest game was a HUGE Football Ramble fan. Speaking of which, who invited José Mourinho to watch Liverpool play at Craven Cottage?

THE FOOTBALL RAMBLE IS RETURNING TO THE STAGE!

Pep Guardiola arrived at Manchester City almost 8 years ago. A reign that started with sacking Joe Hart has turned into one the most impactful managerial careers in Premier League history. Today, Marcus, Andy and Luke assess how Pep has revolutionised the English game.
Elsewhere, Luke explains we it is a joke that the player of the season is being awarded already. Plus, the Ramblers re-call some of their favourite mass celebrations and assess what food would be best to fire out of a T-shirt gun. It’s another classic Mailbag!
