Are Arcade Fire bigger than Arsenal? Are Hula Hoops bigger than Man City? Should you play without a goalkeeper? How many defenders do you really need at a corner?
Just a small sample of the questions Marcus, Luke and Jim get stuck into on today’s Mailbag.

Soccer

An old money derby in the Champions League semi-final, it doesn’t get more grand than that, eh? Today, Marcus, Jim, Vish and Andy are here to speculate what Jude Bellingham said to Harry Kane and analyse Kane’s new penalty technique ahead of the Euros.
Elsewhere, Jim compares Howard Webb and Michael Owen to a South American dictator and Vish compares Man United to car boot sale. Plus, the Ramblers award Jamie Vardy goal of the season for smashing the ball into the roof of an empty net.

Suddenly Michael

Boo? Yeah, boo. Luke was amongst the confused boo boys at Spurs yesterday after a first half full of promise and a second half full of Cristian Romero taking matters into his own hands left them point-less against that pesky Arsenal.
He joins Marcus and Jim to react to a huge day for the Gunners and Anne Hathaway – plus, Everton get past their one big blob of problem to stay in the Premier League for another season, Erik ten Hag marvels at his sand house, and Jamie Vardy in Lethal Weapon. Coming to a Premier League ground near you.

Confused boo boys

The Premier League is the biggest cash cow in football – for better and for worse. So how can a spending cap work? A listener asks Marcus, Luke and Andy about the ripple effects – plus, favourite stadium entrances (including an escalator, yes please), a debate that’s dividing the Football Ramble Discord, and a question from Kathmandu in Nepal! We’re more worldwide than Pitbull!

Mailbag: Is a Premier League spending cap a good thing?

Did anyone see Kyle Walker lay an egg last night? Well, Jim Campbell did and he tells Marcus, Luke and Andy why he thinks it’s a good omen for Arsenal.
Elsewhere, we ask: was Man City’s win so comfortable that it might encourage Oasis to get back together? Plus, Marcus questions whether Anne Hathaway is a fraud and Luke gives us exclusive insider information on why Matt Ritchie has been training for his Large Goods Vehicle licence.
