The Preview Show: Foreverkusen

Marcus and Luke are back with the second edition of Lions Watch before Euro 2024! This week, they react to the news that a creaky Harry Maguire might be even more creaky come June: that’s because he reportedly won’t be fit for the FA Cup final.
After the battle between England’s young midfielders on Monday night left people clamouring for Adam Wharton, Marcus and Luke debate who joins Rice and Bellingham in midfield – and why it might be time for Southgate to (gasp) experiment a little bit. Plus, it’s Michael Owen’s turn on The Take Thermometer! I wonder how he got on…

Lions Watch: What goes with Rice?

Real Madrid did it AGAIN! They beat Bayern Munich 2-1 and it was all thanks to that man Joselu. Well, and Manuel Neuer’s slippery hands.
Marcus and Vish react to a vintage Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu and try to figure out where Harry Kane can go next to win a trophy. Plus, does Vish want Thomas Tuchel at Man United?

Ramble Reacts: Joselu? JOSELU!?

Marcus Speller’s Aunty is giddy: an Englishman is going to win the Champions League! He’s joined by Luke, Andy and Vish to celebrate Dortmund returning to Wembley for a Champions League final and try to decide how to make things better for PSG. Should we let them in the Premier League?
Elsewhere, Marcus shows some concern for Casemiro after his recent form and the Ramble community officially nails its colours to the Erik ten Hag Mast, as the lads hope he will stay at Man United for another season. Plus, what’s next for David The Ferryman Moyes, after it was announced that his time at West Ham is coming to an end.

Can we change leagues?

Found out. Finished podcast. Marcus, Jim and Vish are frauds.
We’re back to look over a jam-packed weekend! Ipswich are back in the Premier League, while Jamie Vardy’s daughter tells 30,000 people to f**k off. 
Meanwhile, was thrashings galore in the Premier League, with Sheffield United and West Ham kindly providing some end-of-season vouchers. Plus, we hear Roy Keane’s stare, the lads speculate how the Premier League will mug Burnley off in the most ridiculous way possible, and Marcus tips a 37-year-old National League player for the England squad. It’s getting out of hand now.
