Football Ramble

Today, Pete and Andy have a Freaky Friday body swap, which means Pete tells Marcus and Jim about some Turkish transfer news and Andy tells us about a world-champion hot dog eater that has been banned from next year’s competition. Incredible.

Elsewhere, we make the case for Ant and Dec to host the Champions League draw and Marcus gets excited about Lee Carsley’s first England squad. Plus, Andy explains why Federico Chiesa could be a good signing for Liverpool. Mo Salah’s replacement?

What a time to be alive, it’s the Carabao Cup second round! Like all of last night’s fixtures, Marcus, Jim and Luke start today’s show by continuing to pay tribute to the great Sven-Göran Eriksson.

Elsewhere, Luke and Jim explain why Manuel Ugarte could be a great signing, not just for Man United but also the Ramble. Plus, a local council leader in Wolverhampton has responded to Noni Madueke and we learn that Andros Townsend currently is being held hostage in Turkey. At least the weather is nice, we suppose.

We kick off today’s raving Ramble with the most important question to emerge from the opening rounds of the Premier League: is Lars Sivertsen’s Dad a better golfer than Kim Jong Un?

We do find time to round up the rest of the weekend’s action, as the league’s newcomers are already struggling and Man City continue to meet their scarcely believable standards. Plus, Marcus delivers his verdict on Oasis’ reunion and we spot a wild Wayne Rooney having the strangest of all the solo pints…

FYI, we recorded this episode before news broke of the sad passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson - so we jumped back in the studio to say a few words about one of our favourite football men. And if you want to listen to our interview we recorded with Sven back in 2020, click here.

Who predicted Chelsea vs Wolves would be the barn barner of the weekend? Marcus, Andy, Vish and Pete revel in what turned out to be a very enjoyable trip to Wolverhampton for Noni Madueke.

Elsewhere, Marcus comes to the realisation that Enzo Maresca could be the right man for Chelsea and Erik ten Hag is embarrassed by some seagulls in Brighton. Oh, and Amanda Staveley wants to buy a stake in Tottenham… great.

Only one of the 17 surviving Premier League clubs from last season hasn’t increased their ticket prices – and some of those clubs have hiked prices or even completely binned concession tickets for children.

Marcus, Luke and Andy tackle one of the most burning issues in the Premier League right now. Plus, what’s the biggest false dawn in football? Would it be better if transfers were just revealed on matchday? And where does Manuel Neuer rank in the pantheon of legendary goalkeepers? Come join us!

Roll up, roll up, the Man United Circus is coming to town! Grab your trapeze and juggling balls, Marcus, Luke and Andy are here to preview the weekend's football.

Speaking of circuses, Performing monkey Luke questions whether Chelsea's 2-0 first-leg lead is enough for the return trip to Servette. Elsewhere, we get excited for a tasty tea-time treat as Arsenal travel to Aston Villa and Ringmaster Marcus tells us all why David Moyes is the Scottish Carlo Ancelotti.

Marcus, Luke and Pete check in with the transfer merry-go-round as players are flung off it left and right. Various Crystal Palace defenders head for the door, while Ivan Toney’s definitely leaving Brentford - doesn’t even matter where he ends up, nobody knows anyway.

Elsewhere, Aaron Ramsdale tries to avoid repeating the exact situation he’s in right now and we get more info on Jürgen Klinsmann’s reign of terror while USMNT boss.

Lars is on the pod! Lars is on the pod! Just like João Félix at Chelsea Lars Sivertsen has returned and he joins Marcus and Pete on today’s Ramble.

Lars makes a strong start as he instantly labels Chelsea’s transfer policy as “mental”. Elsewhere Pete speculates on the colour of Jamie Vardy’s guts and Lars digs out his rulebook after we hear about a player in Peru who got sent off because he took a piss at the side of the pitch.

Jamie Vardy, oh how we have missed you! On this edition of Ramble Reacts, Marcus and Luke gush over an absolutely vintage display from Vardy, featuring a Red Bull and some unbelievable s**thousery.
