Football Ramble

Jules, Jim and Pete tuck in to another spicy serving of Barclays action, as the relegation zone casts increasingly dark shadows over Newcastle, West Brom and Brighton. 

Ole Gunnar Solskjær continued his march towards “yeah, he’s decent” status with another win over Pep Guardiola, while Gareth Bale’s sexy man bun propelled him and Spurs to new heights (sixth). Elsewhere, Michael Owen and Neil Warnock have listened to the devils on their respective shoulders, Liverpool lost again and Steven Gerrard slides through some ale on his way to a historic Scottish Premiership title.

Welcome to The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! Thomas Too-cold pulled it out of the bag again last night, but Marcus, Luke and Andy follow Ashley Cole’s lead and remember to thank Frank’s foundations. 

We check in with the chaos at Newcastle, as Steve Bruce takes an interesting approach to diplomacy and Jonj’s Stockholm syndrome worsens. Elsewhere, we look ahead to Full Force Fulham’s visit to Anfield after Marcus just about unpeels himself from the floor and - of course - rub our thighs in anticipation of another goalless draw in Manchester. But at least Pep is having a lovely old time in Shakespeare’s country.

Kate, Andy and Pete are here to look back on a momentous night for Sheffield United and a very, very boozy one for Chris Wilder. 

There sadly won’t be the same jubilant scenes in Ghana, as we check in with the church of Paul McGrath. Meanwhile, Crystal Palace vs Man United was so bad even Mother Nature tried to conceal it from our eyes.

We also discuss Jamaica’s incredible swoop for talent, while in advertising news, Rangers turn to bitcoin and there’s a turmeric up for the books at Swansea. There will be fewer puns on the show, promise.

Pep Guardiola’s team-branded outerwear has kept him warm throughout Man City’s victorious charge through England’s wintery “hell” – and last night they won again, obviously.

Kate, Vish and Jim are here to ask why Wolves didn’t simply play dead and hoped to come away with a draw, before sounding the Dwight Gayle alarm over at Newcastle. We also get into Chris Sutton’s plans to save refereeing, some delightful digs from Victor Moses and Antonio Conte taking his tactics board to Instagram. Bizarre!

JWP’s not firing, Southampton need KWP back, and DCL wreaks some havoc. Jules, Luke and Pete cast their eyes over some airport codes and another drab display for the Saints.

Thankfully, Barcelona brought plenty of spice yesterday, as some club VIPs have reportedly been arrested for paying a company to disparage current and former players online. Més que un club ’n all that.

We also check in with the Paul Lambert horror movie and muse on who could front the UK and Ireland’s bid for the 2030 World Cup.

Marcus, Jim and Vish are here with just enough time to bid Sam Allardyce farewell, seeing as West Brom will need to sack him before registering another home league win. Sorry, Big Sam, them’s the stats. 

Elsewhere, we got a nostalgic reminder of safer times across the rest of the weekend’s action, with both Willian and Gareth Bale looking more like their old selves. Then, Man City reminded us of their previous recent selves with yet another win, and we hear from a listener who is related to Portuguese football royalty! Vai!

Marcus, Luke and Andy settle in after the Europa League’s usual mix of the good, bad and ugly to look ahead to some tasty Premier League ties. Join us for The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway!

Ahead of a tricky test at Chelsea on Sunday, Man United gave some young players more minutes last night – the rest of the academy went to Lee Sharpe’s for a 2000-person BBQ. Liverpool and West Brom desperately need a win from their respective matches, though Big Sam thinks he’ll just coast into another job soon enough. And speaking of coasting, Alan Pardew has opened up about swapping relegation battles for royal rumbles over at CSKA Sofia.

As it turned out, the main sparkle in Man City’s autonomous win over Borussia Mönchengladbach could be found on the sidelines. Kate, Luke and Pete are here to give Pep Guardiola’s ghastly jacket the kicking it truly deserves.

Spurs also continued their leisurely stroll into the last sixteen of the Europa League with another win over Wolfsberger – even Dele Alli and Gareth Bale scored some nice ones! Elsewhere, we look into some sickening details behind the ongoing construction of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and get the inside scoop on Mike Ashley’s boardroom battles.

Despite VAR’s best efforts, parkour enthusiast Olivier Giroud took a break from his modelling to score an absolute worldie in last night’s Champions League. Kate, Jim and Andy are here to revel in the beauty of the man and his goal.

Elsewhere, we rue Jamail Musiala’s decision to represent Germany rather than our brave boys - when have those serial winners ever even won anything? We also check out Everton’s new waterfront home and pick through the swathes of football documentaries coming to screens (and Andy’s nightmares) very soon.

Like a wise old panther used to a heist or two, Roy the Boy comes away from the Amex with all three points. Vish and Pete have the unenviable task of trying to restrain Jules on today’s Ramble!

We look back at the smouldering wreckage last night but also look ahead to better times: being together in the summer, sharing in England’s latest catastrophe and listening to Zlatan Ibrahimović’s concert while our eardrums bleed. Lovely. Elsewhere, we check in with Sunderland’s new infant owner and some concerning developments in Bristol where Barton is mobilising an army…
