Football Ramble

What a night for the Swiss model! Just as Anatoliy Trubin was firing in that header we couldn’t help but think: are you not entertained, Vish?

Today, Marcus, Jim and Luke gather to round up the closing moments of the Champions League league phase. We also wonder what’s next for Raheem Sterling and try to work out just how good, or bad, Spurs really are.

Today I feel Swiss

Antonio Conte “welcomes” his former club Chelsea, Pep Guardiola “welcomes” some former players to Manchester, our Spurs play against the German Spurs, Newcastle re-start their feud with PSG, Liverpool have to hold their nerve against Qarabag, and Arsenal… erm, yeah. And Arsenal.

The Champions League first phase finale is here and there is bucket loads of narrative for the neutrals to enjoy. Today, Marcus, Jim and Vish are here to preview it all.

Narrative everywhere

Marcus, Luke and Jim try to have a reasoned discussion about Arne Slot’s reputation after a middling second season and the looming figure of Xabi Alonso - but we keep returning to Marcus’ undying love for gammon.

Plus, we long for the return of the purely vibes-based manager, wonder if it’s too late for Harry Wilson to join a bigger club and try to find some aesthetically delightful players who were actually bang average.

Mailbag: How should we judge Arne Slot’s second season?

Weeks ago, Luke suggested that Arsenal are running out of steam. He was ridiculed, shamed, the pitchforks came out. But what if he was right all along?

Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete dive headfirst into the possibility of Arsenal not winning the league again. Also, The Great Escape™ is showing at theatres in East London. Speaking of which, could Tottenham get dragged into a relegation scrap?

Where’s that steam going?

Just as it looked like all hope was lost, the Ehantharajah Empire is here to rescue us! That's right, Vish is back and ready to rip the belt from the waist of the Luke Nation.

Vish experienced defeat in Australia, so will history repeat itself or will Luke be slain? The tax-free principality of Donaco is back on the buttons.

My Biddy Aunt: Managers

Things are finally starting to look good for Manchester United ahead of their big game against Arsenal this weekend. A convincing win against their city rivals last weekend sets them up nicely for a visit to the league leaders. So is Vish feeling confident? Well, what do you think?

He joins Luke and Pete to preview that game. Plus, Diego Costa questions Antonio Conte's sexual capacity, Eden Hazard launches a wine brand, and the police prepare for more equine assaults at Fratton Park.

The Preview Show: Disgracing Her Majesty’s Terminal

Vish is on the pod, Vish is on the pod! Manchester United win the derby and suddenly Vish swans back in like he’s never been away. 

Today, he’s joined by Jim and Pete following a night of enthralling Champions League action. We discuss Pete’s Friday fish and chip night, Popworld and an antiques centre selling bottles of Aftershock.

Chippy Slot

Was Marcus Speller right all along? Is the Manchester City empire really crumbling? Jim and David join Marcus to review a torrid night in Europe for Pep’s boys.

Elsewhere, after a short maintenance period, Arsenal’s winning machine is back up and running. Also, stick around Spurs fans, we actually give your side some credit for their performance in the Champions League! Just don’t get used to it…

The Chelsea scrapheap

Oliver Glasner has set fire to his own ship at Crystal Palace, so imagine this - which old reliable strigiform is ready to swoop from the skies and extinguish the blaze? None other than Roy Hodgson of course! Unfortunately for the Ramble, that probably isn't going to happen. So if they don't break glass for Hodgson, who should they get instead?

Luke and Jim are on the Mailbag to tell Marcus that Sir Gareth Southgate might not be the answer to that question either. Plus, which manager from past or present would we most like to suckle on the teat of?

Mailbag: Twit tw-who should Crystal Palace appoint next?

Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s suckle on the teat was too hard, Ruben Amorim’s too soft, but Michael Carrick’s is just right. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the Manchester United way. 

There’s no Blue Monday at the Football Ramble when Marcus, Luke and Jim have got more managerial chaos to enjoy at Spurs and Crystal Palace. Plus, Marcus’ aunt is still giddy from an absolutely extraordinary climax to AFCON.

The Manchester United way

With just a few days before the Euros starts, Kate's optimism has reached fever pitch. Luke and Jim try their best to keep her feet on the ground, but Gareth Southgate's statesman-like conduct and Phil Foden's new hair are just more fuel on the raging fire. 

International football's kept us warm in the meantime, as Olivier Giroud closes in on a record and Ireland draw in Hungary. Elsewhere, Marcelo Bielsa has been coaching a local U11's team and Florentino Pérez wants to rent Atlético's stadium - because he spent Real Madrid's entire fortune on David Alaba's contract.
