After a time getting acquainted with Claude Puel’s radiator Riyad Mahrez is ready for FA Cup action, as are Spurs as they head to Rochdale’s obstacle course of a pitch, and Man United hope to cause an upset by finding a way past Huddersfield. 

There are special days for Neymar and Kevin Keegan, an expose on the devious Going for Glold tactics of our dear host and a lot of painful, disruptive head turning.

This show features that rarest of beasts; a happy Pete Donaldson, giddy from a Newcastle win and a mutant chicken binge. Not only that, we have the North London Derby, chaos between Stoke and Brighton and more importantly, a penis being seen. 

If that isn’t enough there’s also time for revelations about football’s bald illuminati, Tim Sherwood’s surprising sideline and our interest being piqued by the concept of a solution to the “not quite a yellow, not quite a red” problem.

Hullo! Just your boy Petey Donaldson with a little weekend mention of a new podcast I'm working on. The subject matter is undoubtedly a bit of a swerve, but isn't variety the spice of life? Spoiler: Spice is also the spice of life.

Each Wednesday, Joe Skrebels and Dan Krupa discuss news coverage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's upcoming nuptials, taking in everything from aristocratic tittle-tattle to cummerbund sizes and acceptable headwear.

The North London Derby looms and will be particularly interesting as diving has now officially been declared fine, Ederson eases Man City’s injury crisis by reinventing himself as a midfielder and David Moyes gets a cheerleader in the form of fun-time Patrice Evra. 

We also shine a light on the maudlin nature of Antonio Conte’s current work, discover that fruit may work as an injury treatment and peak behind the curtain to meet playground bully Marcus Speller.

Jurgen Klopp pops his top at Anfield after more referee related grievances (but luckily Pete’s devised a novel way to improve them once and for all), Arsenal roar back into the title race and the relegation scrap stays determinedly tight.  

Elsewhere there’s a welcome return for Ramble (Marcus) favourite Joe the Goal, we make a splash in Vietnam and there are worrying developments in Russia as yet more insects threaten to invade an international football tournament.

As another transfer window slams dramatically and confusingly shut we do our best to assess who has done well and what Arsenal were actually planning, Dele Alli shows all the signs of following in the footsteps of many an England great at the World Cup and those resurgent swans of Swansea start to fly up the table. 

Within our usual ‘professionality’ there’s also talk of club therapists leaking information to the press, confusion at the gates of Wembley and a delightful airport tantrum.

And there you were thinking there'd be no action at St James's Park on Transfer Deadline Day!

As promised in the 12 Rambles of Christmas we’re back to shine a light on Mike Ashley’s reign of errors at Newcastle United, courtesy of competition winner Matt Baker!

There’s the return (and subsequent mugging off) of Kevin Keegan, the Cockney Mafia, Joe Kinnear swearing, a lot, er Alan Pardew also swearing, Alan Pardew head-butting and, of course, POWER DRINKING.

Here’s hoping a great club gets the ownership it deserves soon, but until then, well you've got to laugh haven't you?

The FA Cup rolls on with a delightful cameo from Shola Ameobi, West Ham fans get angry and we hear more tales of humility from Man of the People Carlos Tevez. Elsewhere Mick McCarthy turns a phrase, Leeds get lost in translation and Marcus gets his hope back. 

There’s also time to hear about Luke’s trip to Fratton Park, play a vintage edition of Going for Glold and an honest assessment of Rodney Parade.

From the team that brought you The Football Ramble comes the brand new podcast, Wrestle Me!

Part of the Radio Stakhanov podcast network, Wrestle Me features award-winning comedy writer Marc Haynes and Hartlepool's third favourite son, the piano buying, kimchi munching, bubble tea sipping, Pete Donaldson.

Marc has watched every single Wrestlemania. Pete hasn’t. Join them both every week as they subject the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment to the kind of scrutiny that ruins them entirely.

A hilarious and surprisingly insightful look into some of the most preposterous, glamorous and over-the-top sporting events the world has ever seen – from Hulk Hogan and Mr T at Madison Square Garden way back in 1985 to Roman Reigns and The Undertaker going head-to-head in April 2017 – Wrestle Me is a must-listen accompaniment to The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Say your prayers, take your vitamins and pop your human growth hormone while it's still technically legal. It's Wrestle Me!

It’s FA Cup weekend again and Marcus’ soothsmelling nose sniffs a cup upset, the Class of ’92 make some noise to check that nobody has forgotten they were really good and as usual there’s plenty of weasel chat. 

As we further survey the footballing land we spy on Chelsea’s transfers shenanigans, yet more woe from the Stadium of Light and, as is only correct, Neil Warnock is heavily involved.
