Thanks to the assistance of multiple NGOs, Luke has agreed to temporarily withdraw his troops from the My Biddy Aunt battleground. That allows the Kingdom of Spelgium to safely take on the Principality of Donaco under the watchful eye of Jimbabwe's international police force.

Is it finally time for Pete to get a win on the board, or can Marcus continue to cement his place as the game's second best player?

It's going to cost a lot of money to go to this summer's World Cup. So what will happen to the atmosphere at games? And just how many people on X are going to tell you that it's actually perfectly justifiable to charge hundreds of dollars for a seat in Row Z?

Marcus, Luke and David return to Friday's discussion about the true cost of the 2026 World Cup. Plus, is Unai Emery the best Premier League manager of the last five years apart from Pep? The lads also discuss which of the Prem's long-standing records looks the hardest to break and what's more important: football or love?

What’s more bleak? Newcastle’s derby day performance or the thought of Pete Donaldson spending his Sunday afternoon in an indie club?

Today, Pete left Marcus, Luke and a very smug David Cartlidge a voicenote - from said indie club - with his unfiltered thoughts on proceedings. Plus, we take joy in the fallout between Jamie Carragher and Rio Ferdinand and start to wonder: are Arsenal having a wobble?

A big night in the Champions League, but an even bigger night for the Official Martin Keown Fan Club here at the Football Ramble. Seriously though, it's gone too far.

Pete, Jim and Luke pick over last night's action and crimes against commentary, plus Pete's incredibly well-received DJ sets in Topman. They then enter a surprisingly deep camel racing rabbit hole after Paul Pogba invests in a camel racing team. Are we fascinated? Yes. Do we think Graeme Souness' moustache should be transplanted onto one of the camels? Also yes.
