Football Ramble

A brief Barclays break means we get to tackle all the glorious chaos that the South American qualifiers regularly serve up. By tackle, we mean kick in the nads - much like Emerson Royal did last night, incidentally.

There is plenty of football for us to look ahead to as Marcus, Luke and Pete check up on both ends of the Championship and preview some tasty AFCON ties. We also get a seismic update on Scott McTominay's infamous Player of the Season award whilst under José's tutelage. Lighters at the ready. All of that on a jam-packed Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Despite Carlos Queiroz's miserly ways, Egypt lumber on in an AFCON beset with incidents and hot divorced dads, but not many goals. 

Kate, Andy and Jim also hear from potential Everton manager Vitor Pereira as part of his bizarre charm offensive, while Aaron Ramsey needs a Turin rescue mission and Ousmane Dembele's agent dazzles us with his underhand shenanigans.

Marcus, Vish and Andy are answering the big questions on today's Ramble. Will Duván Zapata sign for Newcastle? What next for Anthony Martial? Should one of our listeners threaten the life of a colleague for free tickets to a match? 

We also rattle through some quite unbelievable AFCON goals and celebrate the overdue returns of Roy Hodgson and Mario Balotelli - yes, Super Mario's back with the Azzurri.

Watford hit the ejector seat on yet another manager as Claudio Ranieri departs, leaving the club managerless for the 518th time this season. Did someone say Roy the Boy?

We also recap another night of the AFCON, as The Gambia's incredible journey continues while Comoros' heroics are marred by some horrid scenes.

Newcastle kicked off their lads holiday to the Middle East in the appropriate fashion, with a Jonjo free-kick snatching some perhaps undeserved points at Leeds.

Kate, Jim and Pete pore over more regulation struggles, as Josh Sargent bought some over-inflated sense of American optimism to Norwich while Watford struggled. We also check in with another Hakim Ziyech worldy and eat some of Pete's earwax. Yep.

In the end, Liverpool and Diogo Jota leisurely strolled back to Wembley without interruption. At least a jet lagged Thomas Partey tried his best, though.

Marcus, Luke and Vish look back on last night and rub their hands over some crucial bottom half battles on today’s Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! Big Dunc has already been making his feelings clear to his Everton players, while Norwich vs Watford roll their sleeves up for a truly chaotic game of football.

Nothing to see here! Just two injury-time goals from Steven Bergwijn sending both Kate Mason and the King Power into a tailspin.

Andy and Jim help Kate off the floor before piling through that amazing Spurs win and an oddly efficient performance from Man United. We also cross our Comorian fingers as the AFCON group stages draw to a close and the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saga rolls on.

Marcus, Vish and Andy are now looking for a membership to Sexy Graham Potter's colony of high-flying Seagulls. All assistance is welcome.

We look over their confident display against Chelsea and Fulham's continued destruction of the Championship. There's also a Ghanaian collapse at the AFCON and it's a fresh start for Fizzer Neville as Inter Miami kick off their pre-season with a spring clean.

For all the yellow ties and #HereWeGo nonsense, the January window does occasionally throw Ramble HQ a few bones. Today, it's potential high-profile returns for Diego Costa, Hatem Ben Arfa and Christian Eriksen - bosh!

Kate, Luke and Pete pick through the good, the bad (more Premier League postponements) and the ugly (Everton's latest plight) on today's Ramble. We also celebrate another Spurs trophy and hear more of Pete's wall-licking exploits.

There are certain things you need in a relegation scrap. Rafa Benitez is seemingly no longer one of them, but a Jack Harrison topknot looks an absolute must.

Jules, Jim and Pete rattle through the movers and shakers at both ends of the table, as City extended their dull lead at the top and the relegation vortex drags more people in. We also round up the latest from the AFCON and discuss some high profile derby delays.
