Cracking on with the second of our Easter specials we discuss the original notable egg, Pierluigi Collina.
A rare eggxample of a universally popular referee, he remembranes a shining example of how one should officiate the game, and we pay our resp-egg-ts appropriately.

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.

Rock, paper, scissors…

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.

Mailbag: What are the biggest myths in football?

Vish has always said this: Australians are unpredictable. You simply do not know where you stand with ‘em.
And that was the same for most of Spurs’ XI last night in yet another defeat at Stamford Bridge. Marcus, Jim, ACAB Brassell and the V2 Rocket himself discuss a huge night for both clubs that left Son Heung-Min and Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg shoving each other and Mauricio Pochettino signing an XL bully.
Plus, Graeme Souness chucks another opinion out from his conservatory, Andy takes on the Old Bill in Greece, and Big Dunc tells the Inverness board he's staying. Plus, HUGE revelations that Vish had a certain Luke Aaron Moore muted on Twitter until very recently. Stay tuned.

The Preview Show: Big Dunc isn't oot

The road to Euro 2024 starts TODAY! Marcus and Luke are back with their third ever series of Lions Watch, where you’ll find everything you need to know about the England men’s national team – and plenty you don’t.
Today, England are officially favourites: so, how do we feel about it? Plus, Luke argues why it’s time to fire the Eric Dier signal and Marcus shares his worries about a robot serving the squad at their resort in Germany. Could be espionage, could be Sammy Lee inside a metal box.
Plus, the Take Thermometer returns with ol’ Fabio and we hear your questions!

Lions Watch: Great expectations and Dier straits

An old money derby in the Champions League semi-final, it doesn’t get more grand than that, eh? Today, Marcus, Jim, Vish and Andy are here to speculate what Jude Bellingham said to Harry Kane and analyse Kane’s new penalty technique ahead of the Euros.
Elsewhere, Jim compares Howard Webb and Michael Owen to a South American dictator and Vish compares Man United to car boot sale. Plus, the Ramblers award Jamie Vardy goal of the season for smashing the ball into the roof of an empty net.
