Football Ramble

Third spot was in their grasp, but Spurs let it slip! To ten-man Everton. And then got a man sent off themselves. Oh dear.

Marcus and Luke react to a shaky start to the post-Antonio Conte era and just another day at the office for Michael Roberto Carlos Keane.

Elsewhere, there’s a Fabio Paratici update after he valiantly (and temporarily) falls on his sword while Leicester barely wait until Brendan Rodgers has left the carpark before speed dialling Graham Potter. Plus, what sort of social occasion would force Roy Hodgson’s assistant Ray Lewington into a pair of trousers? Stay tuned.

Chelsea’s board reportedly ‘admire’ Julian Nagelsmann. We here at the Ramble admire José Mourinho for the job. 

Jules, Jim and Luke react to a dramatic Sunday that saw Potter and Brother Brendy get the boot from their respective pressure cookers! We discuss where this leaves both of their reputations and why Chelsea - in Jim’s view - are giving North Korea vibes.

In more important matters, a referee knees a player in the nads in Mexico, Jack Grealish follows our takeaway advice, and we try to work out how former-player-turned-whaler Wayne Rooney should launch his boxing career.

Marcus, Vish, Jim and Andy celebrate the glorious return of club football and a very, VERY inglorious week for Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Lol.

We chat about all of that nonsense, plus Marcus rallies to Roy the Boy’s defence and tips Crystal Palace for the Europa League (“clip that”). We also discuss what Jack Grealish really needs to add to his Chinese takeaway ahead of Man City vs Liverpool.

Plus, do donkeys pop up and score winning goals in the Champions League? And what do Newcastle and AI have in common?

After Rodri and Spain got tangled in the long grass at Hampden, Dotun, Andy and David are here to ask what’s going on with Spain. A one-off slip-up, or are they just short of talent right now?

Next, we answer your questions about Thomas Tuchel’s move to Bayern Munich! It’s a challenging time there: David argues that Bayern’s players drove the bus over Julian Nagelsmann, while Andy explains why there’s a whole heap of pressure on Bayern’s board as much as Tuchel now. 

Plus, Feyenoord are on course for their second Eredivisie title in 23 years, but they could have a tricky (Arne) Slot to fill come the summer…

He’s become one of the best pundits in football. Today, Jobi McAnuff joins us for an honest conversation beyond the TV studio about football’s insane highs and despairing lows, and what it really means to be a captain.

Plus, what it’s really like to do punditry alongside Roy Keane and Jobi reveals the best full-back he ever faced in over 750 career appearances as a winger!

Hampden Park delivered, so we couldn't resist a Ramble Reacts! Marcus, Jim and Lars discuss the last of the Euros qualifiers and fill up Marcus' old bacon bucket in celebration.

Elsewhere in international football land, Lars needs comforting after Norway have a little slippy slippy on a Georgian banana peel, there’s an impromptu Kieffer Moore quiz, and one of the most bizarre stadiums in world football hosts a qualifier!

At last! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy put the reign of the balding smoothie himself under the unforgiving Ramble microscope. Well, one of us is perhaps a little less critical than the rest. A Sven-egg-in-a-nest haircut is the prize for guessing who that is…

They discuss the reception of England’s first foreign manager, Sven’s unprecedented charm offensive to win the public’s hearts, and what was really England’s undoing in an era that promised so much. There’s Sven fleeing a property with some clothes missing as well, of course.

Marcus, Vish, Jim and Andy discuss another memorable weekend in international football as Mr Luxembourg bags another brace.

There’s love for James Maddison and Bukayo Saka as England pick up another win – but Vish wants to clarify that he’s a better bloke than Bukayo. Plus, ding dong Conte’s gone! The whole sorry affair leaves us wondering whether the days of ‘firefighter’ managers are over as the ‘project’ coaches take over. Speaking of which, there’s a Phil Neville update. The title bid isn’t going well…

The keys are in the lock, the gate is open, but oh yes we’re here with a weekend Ramble! Marcus and Andy react to news that one of Spurs’ targets has replaced, erm, another of Spurs’ targets at Bayern Munich. And it was a terrible day in more ways than one for poor old Julian Nagelsmann…

We recap an even worse day for Karim Benzema as Kylian Mbappé and co run wild against the Dutch, while Marcus makes his feelings known about Antoine Griezmann’s pink hair and Virgil van Dijk proves that he’s got guts of steel after withstanding a dodgy chicken curry.
