Well, would you look at that - Gareth Southgate’s version of Manchester United made it to the Europa League final, where they’ll face Ange’s boys after their own unusually composed performance.

Marcus, Vish, Jim and Pete pick through that confusing conclusion and look ahead to some spicy weekend action on today’s blockbuster Preview Show! We wonder if Newcastle can get the job done against Chelsea, welcome in the Championship play-offs and plot the rest of Kevin De Bruyne’s career as he transitions from silky Brentford midfielder to setting up a bakery.

Marcus and Luke bid farewell to Arsenal’s Champions League challenge after a game that summed up their entire season: impressive and eye-catching in places, but missing that final... oomph. 

Speaking of oomph, the lads praise a deadly PSG performance and wonder if they’ll finally reach the top of their mountain, 13 years after they begun the climb. Just Inter to overcome now, lads…

My giddy aunt, that was quite the spectacle last night. A thirteen-goal thriller across the two legs?! That’s what football do to ya.

Marcus, Luke, Andy & Vish are here to ponder on what might be the greatest two-legged game in football history. Plus, Luke explains why it's okay for Trent Alexander-Arnold to want a move to a bigger rat ball, Andy offers a 90s reference that even catches Marcus out, and we look ahead to Arsenal’s date with destiny.

Pete stops burning his Trent Alexander-Arnold shirt long enough to join Andy and recap a weird stalemate between Nottingham Forest’s mildly stoppable force and Crystal Palace largely movable object.

They do find time to enjoy more sparkling Eberechi Eze form - even after he was seen moonlighting as a chess grandmaster over the weekend - and wonder where both he and Morgan Gibbs-White could end up this summer. In typical fashion for two talented English midfielders, it looks like one will need to stay while the other goes.

Marcus, Luke and Pete jump into the studio after Arsenal’s latest wobble, which could condemn them to third place in what's been a two-horse Premier League title race. Never mind, PSG this week lads! 

Elsewhere, Man United do another lol and can we attribute Cole Palmer’s great performance to Chelsea’s new relationship with a Dubai-based property developer? Their press release certainly says so. Plus, the Basildon Bond (Harry Kane) won his first trophy, the Championship played out a chaotic final day and Jamie Vardy kicked off his refereeing career in style. Bank Holiday Banter aplenty!

Arne Slot and his merry men got the title over the line, but how does his (and his pal Jürgen Klopp’s) Liverpool rank among the Premier League title-winning sides of old? That’s the nice, uncontentious topic Marcus, Pete & Vish are discussing today. Gulp...

Plus, after Jonás Gutiérrez was spotted busking in Newcastle city centre, who makes our garage band of rock-and-roll footballers?

Enjoy your chilled wine and nice food, but leave the football to us lads.

The words of Vithushan Ehantharajah, who can - AT LAST - bask in his smugness this season after another impressive Man United performance in Europe. Marcus, Pete and Andy join Vish to hail Harry Maguire's transformation into prime Cafu.

Elsewhere, Spurs win but Andy explains why the Bodø/Glimt upset is very much alive. Plus, Cole Palmer's heavy breathing blows his cover and Pete Donaldson promises to print all of you a Europa Conference League winners medal. If you come to Football Ramble: Time Tunnel, of course.

Pete and Andy catch their breath after a truly unhinged Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Inter - and guess who was strutting his stuff in the middle of it all? That’s right, the dapper of royals himself, Lamine Yamal.

Andy explains why Yamal is better than Messi was at 17, but also why he both loves and questions Hansi Flick’s kamikaze tactics. Plus, after UEFA’s Instagram gets hacked, Pete gets all nostalgic for hackers in the noughties. Come join us!

Did you see that first 20 minutes from PSG last night? Bloody Nora. Marcus, Luke, Vish and Jim - fresh from the Emirates - react to PSG's dominant display against Arsenal and their tiny but somehow unstoppable midfield. Can Arsenal turn things around? Not with tifos like that, they can't...

Elsewhere, Brazil press their big Carlo Ancelotti button who's primed and ready to join Fizzer in his Speedos on the Copacabana.

We also set fire to our reputation in Glasgow... but at least we'll have our new line of artisan Pope smoke bacon to keep us going. See you on May 12th, Glaswegian Ramblers!

Jimmy Campbell, are you quaking in your boots? Luis Enrique's PSG are coming to town. They've already taken the heads of Liverpool and Aston Villa. How can the Gunners put a halt to the English batterings?

Jim tells Marcus and Luke why he's expecting a very different game to their previous meeting in October.

Elsewhere, the mighty National League South title race is decided and a Honda Jazz gets lost in a football stadium...
