Football Ramble

Despite idiotic questions from interviewers afterwards, Joelinton proved himself to be the heir to Roy Keane's throne as he dominated Man United's midfield. Odd it was for Newcastle, mind.

Marcus, Vish and Jim are back to find out how deep the Old Trafford rot might go and revel in some buoyant Newcastle support. We also look ahead to some midweek clashes as Brighton continue their quest for Vish's love while Norwich and Leicester desperately search for greener grass.

That's it for Rambles this week - thanks so much for your support this year. We'll be back to our full schedule next week!

Marcus, Vish and Jim are here to chew over the latest round of Christmas crackers, with Southampton and Arsenal picking up impressive wins. But should we actually trust either team with them?

Elsewhere, Man City and Leicester played out a ridiculous game - even if Brendy should've put himself on the bench. Harry Kane also impressed against Patrick's Palace, especially after what we assume was a fairly awkward Christmas for the Kane family.

To round off the year, we're looking back on some of our favourite moments from this year's Football Ramble! We relive the trauma of the European Super League, revel in our Euros fairytale and celebrate the Hamilton Accies commentator and his wee jobby. We even find time for an extended visit to the North-East for plenty of Keggy, Brucey and takeover-related nonsense. 

It’s been a turbulent year but we've had a great laugh making the show every day and hope you've had a cracking time listening in - thanks so much for your support throughout 2021.

Much like the UK Government, we're back with another work Christmas party! Marcus, Kate, Vish and Jim settle in at Ramble HQ for more festive fun.

If you've ever wondered about how Kate ended up with an alpaca one Christmas or the delightful Sri Lankan flavours of Vish's Christmas lunch, then look no further. We also give Demba Barticulate another spin after yesterday's glowing reviews.

Welcome to the first part of the Ramble Christmas jolly! Join Jules, Luke, Andy and Pete as they revel in festive cheer and pick their dream festive line-up for a football-themed Christmas. We also debut our festive game, Demba Barticulate - stupid jingle included.

Jonjo Shelvey's return to Liverpool reminded the Anfield faithful what they've been missing: 20-yard screamers, misplaced passes and a general lack of impetus. Sign me up!

Marcus, Andy and Jim browse another porous Newcastle performance and a spirited point from Rafa's cut and shut Everton. We also look ahead to the Nations League's glorious return and wonder just how English football continues amidst further cancellations - all on today's Preview Show, sponsored by Betway.

With a great win over West Ham last night, can we finally say it? The Emirates is... a fortress?

Marcus, Jim and Pete wrestle with that and check in the rest of last night's matches, featuring some worldy skills from James Ward-Prowse and Rúben Neves. We also celebrate Sergio Agüero's amazing career and pull on an alarming Aussie thread.

As Arsenal's leadership group pass the captaincy parcel around at London Colney, we wonder who can take the bantle on now Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's been dismissed. Those Amazon cameras must be delighted!

Kate, Pete and Vish look over their troubles and check in with a despondent Marcelo Bielsa as the master was absolutely thwacked by the apprentice at the Etihad. There was also a Groundhog Away Day for Dean Smith and a perfect tribute to Diego Maradona by his heir apparent, Philippe Coutinho.

Kate, Vish and Jim settle in for another Ramble after yesterday's botched Champions League draw highlighted what piss-poor pageantry we've come to accept from these bizarre events. At least Michael Owen explained it all clearly on BT Sport...

Elsewhere, we wonder how Dele Alli can revitalise his career ahead of a touted January move and ask just how long football can push its luck amidst skyrocketing Covid-19 cases.

Throughout the festive period, it's important to carve out a bit of indulgent time for yourself. This weekend, pour yourself a fizzy lager and enjoy your team getting pumped 4-0 by laissez-faire Leicester - just what the Donaldson ordered.

Pete's joined by Luke and Jules after another chaotic weekend as Raheem Stirling joined the Hundred Club and Marcelo Bielsa liberated his passions at Stamford Bridge. We also update the Festive Football Naughty List, thanks to a tardy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and some Major League Stripping from NYCFC boss Ronny Deila.
