Football Ramble

What are the characteristics of a great derby? Are half and half scarves REALLY that bad? Do we criticise refs too much? Who are the most unexpected famous fans of our clubs?

Marcus, Luke and Andy have the keys to answer those questions on today’s Mailbag.

It’s Manchester derby weekend! And there’s one question on everyone’s lips here at the Ramble: will a pie be thrown?

Marcus, Luke and Andy talk about those stunning scenes at the Edinburgh derby and ask whether Erik Ten Hag should really be asking for an apology from Fulham’s TikTok account.

Luke and Andy lock horns over the Paul Pogba ban and then over Jack’s Encyclopaedia, where there is perhaps the most unexpected winning answer in Ramble history. David Icke is all we’re saying. Join us for a Friday blockbuster!

We have our FA Cup quarter-final lineup! And – oh no – Pete sees who Newcastle have drawn while recording the show. But which better Ramble shoulder to cry on than Luke’s?

Pete and Luke reflect on a laboured victory for Manchester United that kept them in the hat and another night of Antony being the most predictable winger in the world. Luke also celebrates the return of Normal Bloke Wayne Rooney to our screens and Mark Clattenburg’s roll-neck gets a VAR replay of its own.

Plus, why Liverpool’s Jayden Danns’ Eurovision background means he’s destined for stardom – and there’s a shocking revelation about the identity of Luke’s father. Join us!

After last night’s FA Cup action, we’re one step closer to Pete spending a load of money so he can watch Newcastle lose to Man City at Wembley. Today, Marcus, Pete, Jim and Andy take a moment to enjoy that fact before debating whether Leicester edging out Bournemouth 1-0 really classes as a cupset.

Elsewhere, the lads get excited for Wayne Rooney’s punditry debut, Pete launches a new career as a self-help guru, and Marcus explains why we might not know who gets relegated from the Premier League until June.

Jarrod Bowen scored his first senior hat-trick and, in an amazing turn of events, it’s got Andy waving the Bowen for England flag harder than Marcus! Probably because he’s too busy waving his Neal Maupay for France flag, to be honest…

Marcus and Andy react to an entertaining game at the London Stadium. The “is David Moyes the right man for West Ham?” debate still rages on though as Andy compares it to Brexit. Plus, the lads get behind Coventry in the FA Cup now that the Maidstone United dream is over!

The only thing grottier than the Carabao Cup trophy after John Terry’s done with it? Pete’s mind, obviously.

Marcus, Jim and Pete are back for your ultimate Carabao Cup final review! We hurl a few lemons at Mauricio Pochettino, Pete reveals that Peter Utaka is back in business in Japan, and MLS returns with a fizz! You know what that means.

And no prizes for guessing what Marcus’ highlight of the weekend was…

Earlier this week, Luke made the point that supporting a struggling Premier League club is worse than people realise. So today, he’s joined by Marcus and Andy to get their views on whether life is really better outside of the Prem. Marcus regales us with his memories of Fulham winning the Championship, while Andy tells us about watching Wimbledon play in all of the top nine divisions of English football.

There are also plenty of wicked whispers, as Marcus reveals what country he'd support if he couldn't support England and we finally find out which football club Andy respects the least.

It’s the big one! The Carabao Cup final, where Chelsea will be fighting for not only a tenth of the amount of money you need to make Liam Gallagher to go away, but also the prestigious honour of being banned from European competition for spending too much.

Marcus, Luke, Andy and Jim look ahead to Todd's big weekend. They also ask whether all Jims are evil, how Chris Wilder will have taken the news of his fine over sandwich-gate, and bid farewell to Big Joe Hart! Plus, one of the best Jack’s Encyclopaedia rounds ever, we swear. But was it for the Luke Nation? Don’t miss it!

It was unfortunately business as usual for Arsenal on their return to the Champions League knockouts, after their last-minute loss to Porto. But, what did you expect from Pepe n’ co?

Marcus and Jim recap a timid performance from the Gunners and wonder how far they’ll go in Europe this season. Plus, Liverpool knock Luton Town into next week and Barcelona go hunting for a mole - reports are it’s not a literal one
