On this deadline day edition, Dotun and Andy are joined by Miguel Delaney to discuss the bigger picture of this summer transfer window: Nottingham Forest have spent more than the Eredivisie. 
How has the financial inequality between Europe and the Premier League reached this point? We also discuss what Antony and Lucas Paquetá will bring to English shores, PSG’s dropped points at the weekend, and there’s the small matter of the Champions League draw! Plus, a truly heinous food pick from Dotun…

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.

Tickets are out NOW for Football Ramble: Time Tunnel!

As Liverpool found out, all the romantic farewell narrative in the world can’t stop a freshly tracksuit-bottomed Sean Dyche delivering a hammer blow to your title chances. And what a performance from that new lad, Daniel Calvert-Lewin!
Marcus and Luke give their takes on a dismal night for Liverpool which needed a calm slot into the bottom corner, but instead got Darwin Núñez desperately smashing the ball into Jordan Pickford’s meaty thighs. Elsewhere, Erik ten Hag serves up smiley faces covered in chocolate sauce (again), there's an unwelcome reminder of Paul Jewell’s jewel, and we have live reports from Pete Donaldson on Jason Tindall Watch at Selhurst Park. What more could you ask for!
