Arsenal have the advantage after the League Cup semi-final first leg. Marcus and David were treated to five goals in a slightly confusing night at Stamford Bridge.

We were left wondering whether Chelsea could buy ANOTHER goalkeeper and if Viktor Gyökeres was the correct choice for man of the match. Plus, Álvaro Arbeloa makes an awful start at Real Madrid.

Antoine Semenyo is not only scoring goals but he’s currently top of the English football vibes table. However, Marcus, Luke and Pete are, controversially, in disagreement over whether his second goal should have been ruled out.

Elsewhere, they are more agreeable on the fact that Michael Carrick could be a good appointment for Man United, which is of course bad news for the Ramble. Plus, Zlatan reveals he once s**t himself to be more High Performance…

Marcus, Luke and Jim round off a barnstorming FA Cup weekend by reminding everyone what the magic of the cup is really about: not getting slapped 10-1 or beating the holders, but the friends we made along the way.

In more spiky corners of the pod, we try to work out the traits needed to be classified a ‘big club’ and run through some of our biggest flops of the season. Plus, we flip the age old Ramble question on his head: who’s the Premier League manager you’d *least* want alongside you in a fight? Outrageous accusations ensue.

What a weekend! Macclesfield climbed to the peak of Mount Everest to pull off the greatest FA Cup upset of all time. Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim are here to revel in that.

Elsewhere, Man City's 10-1 win against Exeter leaves an unsavoury taste in Luke's mouth. Plus, Liam Rosenior has a very 'High Performance' start to life at Chelsea and the FA Cup supercomputer has some serious questions to answer.

Luke makes his return to the My Biddy Aunt arena for the first time in 2026, but can the Marcus Mount cause a new year upset? On FA Cup weekend, anything can happen.

Jim's back on the buttons after he was defeated by the newly named David Cartalonia Cartlidge.

The FA Cup third round is typically Luke Moore’s favourite weekend of the year. It’s just a shame for him that Portsmouth have to play Arsenal, really.

Before looking forward to that, Marcus, Luke and Jim have the small matter of Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool to dissect. Elsewhere, Man City confirm their position as defenders of modern football and José Mourinho’s punishments reach new heights.

Donny is in charge on today’s Ramble and he’s plotting some new surgery to extend his collarbones. He might also add in a few extra ribs while he's at it.

Pete’s cosmetic procedures aside, Luke and David join him to explain why there is no saving Tottenham under Thomas Frank. Plus, Leeds and Newcastle played out a barn burner that Keggy would be proud of.

Darren Fletcher, the new Manchester United interim manager, is the latest former player to suckle on the teat of Sir Alex Ferguson. There's nothing like tradition; they are Manchester United after all.

Today, Marcus, Pete and David honour that. Plus, Liam Rosenior solidifies his position as 'a proud BlueCo man' and things get so bad at West Ham that Marcus, sincerely, suggests bringing back Big Sam...

The Ruben Amorim era is officially over at Manchester United – what's next? Marcus, Luke and Jim shake their heads at the league's most chaotic club and pay respect to football's greatest magnet-user.

Elsewhere, there's some serious and not-so-serious nominations for ex-players returning to their clubs as managers, and should Arsène Wenger get a stand at the Emirates? At least a little bar?
