Football Ramble

Only two goals! Can we have our money back, please? Jim and Vish are full of praise for PSG after they pulled off the perfect heist in Munich last night.

Today, we relive another fascinating night of football as Luis Enrique once again proves he has built a complete team without the superstars. At least Bayern Munich can go home knowing their manager was dressed nicely…

Mr Tuchel, there's a man here coming to knock down your door. His name is Morgan Gibbs-White and he wants a place on your plane.

Marcus, Jim & Vish were live on YouTube to discuss England's midfield conundrum. Have Phil Foden and Cole Palmer done enough to get a golden ticket to North America, and can Gibbs-White snatch a place from them? Plus, Kobbie Mainoo's England future, and a question about chicken curry pie.

What a night for Jimmy Campbell and his Arsenal boys! Today, he joins Marcus and Vish to relive an historic night at the Emirates Stadium. He and Marcus are in agreement that it is one of the greatest atmospheres they have ever witnessed.

Elsewhere, Man City once again prove they can’t be trusted - and no, Marcus absolutely is NOT smug about it. Plus, we are giddy with excitement ahead of Bayern Munich vs PSG part 2. But can PSG avoid the dreaded can-can?

Michael Carrick has passed his Man United theory test. But is he ready to be given his full licence? Marcus, Jim and Pete share their thoughts on today’s Mailbag.

Elsewhere, we’re asked: have we been unfair on Viktor Gyökeres? Should Newcastle replace Eddie Howe? And which footballer would we like to body swap with?

Delicious twists at both ends of the table this weekend! Marcus, Pete, Jim and Vish shine the Ramble spotlight on it all.

Spurs finally got their act together, while Arsenal got their mojo back to truly unite all of north London. Manchester United are also officially back in the Champions League, but another lengthy handball review leads Pete to ask some particularly searching questions about fingernails. Join us!

Geordies vs Mackems. Tyne vs Wear. "Howay" vs "Ha'way". And, crucially, Pete Donaldson vs David Cartlidge. Sunderland may have already done the double, but this Biddy battle is the real decider.

The dominions of the Ramble Intercontinental Senate have taken their seats, with Marcus in the umpire's chair.

In a show of unity rarely seen in the north east, David and Pete have joined forces against that southern softie, Marcus Speller. The three of them are here to look back on a controversial win for Nottingham Forest in the Europa League.

Elsewhere, we wonder if the new Donaldson-Cartlidge alliance would have done a better job managing Burnley than Scott Parker. Plus, we hear from Steve Bruce about the time Sir Alex Ferguson brawled with the Turkish police.

It's not fair to compare Atletico 1-1 Arsenal to the beauty of PSG 5-4 Bayern Munich. Let's just say it was a more interesting game than we might have expected.

Marcus and Vish went live on YouTube straight after full-time to break down an evening full of controversy, sandwiches and bog roll. Jump in, the water's still warm.

Was that the greatest football match ever?

Marcus, Pete and Jim admire last night's Champions League masterpiece, a game that simply could not have been better. Actually, only if Vincent Kompany was in a panic room for his suspension.

We celebrate a proper feast of football, particularly Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who continues to play like a true football cult hero, but one who actually wins stuff. Elsewhere, there are somewhat reputable reports that Amanda Staveley is consorting with another consortium to take over Newcastle and José Mourinho is on the verge of a return to Real Madrid. Plus, The King of Football Gianni Infantino gets denied a motorcade in Vancouver.

After York City’s scarcely believable title win at the weekend, Marcus and Luke nail down the specific ingredients for the ultimate ending to a football match - and relive some all-time classics. Pompey deep cuts very much incoming.

Plus: the crystal clear definition of ‘world class’, unsung heroes from smaller teams around English football and is it ever possible to properly change which team you support? A listener is sick of this mob running his beloved Chelsea, so we’re here to help.

Join us for the World Cup party of the summer! We're taking over London's 40ft Brewery for England vs Croatia on Wednesday 17th June with giant screens, our own beer on tap, live chat, BBQ and exclusive merch! Get your tickets here.
