Football Ramble

The Nations League is back! And Kevin De Bruyne is absolutely delighted!

Before that, Kate, Jim and Pete look ahead to a hugely significant – and emotional – World Cup qualifier tonight between Scotland and Ukraine. 

Plus, Robert Lewandowski’s loose lips are sinking some Bayern ships, a Norwegian top-flight goalkeeper has quite literally been moving the goalposts, and this week’s Pep Talks takes on pyramid schemes…

We’re here to react to the news that surprised absolutely no one at the weekend: Ralf Rangnick will not be continuing as a consultant at Manchester United! At least he can retire to Austria and reflect on a job thoroughly well done.

History was made last night! The first Europa Conference League spiraliser was dished out and it only went to José Mourinho’s Roma! No beer going in that thing though – sorry Jack.

Marcus, Andy and Pete reflect on a proud night in Europe for Roma. They also discuss the latest injection of chlorine into Spurs and discover another strange tale from the life and times of Ivano Bonetti. Plus, Kompany to Burnley and Steve Bruce makes one last stand.

On the eve of Jose Mourinho’s fifth European final, he’s finally gone and binned the Special One tag. This time, it’s for the people.

A sceptical Marcus, Andy and Jim bring you all the squad news from *checks notes* Harry Maguire’s England, as Jarrod Bowen can finally escape his uncle’s potato farm for the summer. Plus, we cast our eyes over the Kylian Mbappé saga and pour one out for Florentino Pérez! Well, before pouring out one for our own reputations as we unveil another round of dire predictions.

Kate, Luke and Pete are here with some deserved props for Sunderland after their promotion back to the Championship, while Grimsby Town set up a tie with Wrexham despite the efforts of international man of mystery, Ian Burchnall. Who is also football’s least recognisable man. 

Elsewhere, we get a trailer for season five of So You Think You Can Manage Manchester United and we unveil some of our Premier League predictions! Remember Xisco?

It’s blue ribbons and cowboy hats on today’s Ramble, as Man City claim another consecutive league title and Leeds stayed up by the skin of Wout Weghorst’s foot. Marcus, Luke and Jim are here to recap it all!

Liverpool put up an excellent fight and were left a point short, while Arsenal put on an end-of-year picnic for a job (somewhat) well done. Oh, and Man United lost - paging Erik ten Hag…

The Ramble will continue as normal for the next few weeks, as we get stuck into the Champions League final, playoffs and Nations League. See you tomorrow!

The final weekend of the Premier League is here! Marcus, Jim and Andy are here with a tasty lowdown on today’s Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Frank Lampard cemented his status in English football folklore after Everton’s dramatic escape last night, while Leeds survival hopes hang by a thread. At the top end, one man stands between Man City and another glorious title: Steven George Gerrard.

Marcus, Luke and Pete recap a tough night for Rangers as their European adventure comes to a bitter end. STOP BRINGING PLAYERS ON FOR PENALTIES! 

We also turn our attentions to two former men of this sleazy parish, as José Mourinho fires up the Roma faithful and Alan Pardew joins us from his Sofia bungalow. Single bed, thankfully.
