Football Ramble

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

After weeks of negotiation, the Luke Nation has agreed to step away from Jack’s Encyclopaedia (for now)...

But he is in attendance as the greatest game in football podcasting makes it’s 2026 debut. Today, Marcus Mount, Jimbabwe and Cartalonia lock horns in a vigorous punch-up, Pete of Donaco has the whistle firmly between his moist lips. Who will earn the right to play the ever-present Luke Moore?

Jack's Encyclopaedia: Manchester derby XI's, Championship managers, and Premier League loyalists

It's the Manchester derby this weekend, so how are both sides preparing? Man United have brought back Michael Carrick for another suckle on Sir Alex's teat, all while Pep Guardiola is turning down free bottles of whiskey. Come on Pep, you cannae be turning down a glass of Scotch from young Gary Caldwell.

Marcus, Jim, David & Pete are here to look ahead to the big game. Meanwhile, Liam Rosenior goes full Jake Humphrey, Pat Nevin stops Duncan Ferguson from setting fire to a hotel, and - in shocking news to the whole of Scotland - the US has banned Buckfast. WHAT?

The Preview Show: A bottle of Aftershock

Arsenal have the advantage after the League Cup semi-final first leg. Marcus and David were treated to five goals in a slightly confusing night at Stamford Bridge.

We were left wondering whether Chelsea could buy ANOTHER goalkeeper and if Viktor Gyökeres was the correct choice for man of the match. Plus, Álvaro Arbeloa makes an awful start at Real Madrid.

Ramble Reacts: Carabao chaos at Stamford Bridge

Antoine Semenyo is not only scoring goals but he’s currently top of the English football vibes table. However, Marcus, Luke and Pete are, controversially, in disagreement over whether his second goal should have been ruled out.

Elsewhere, they are more agreeable on the fact that Michael Carrick could be a good appointment for Man United, which is of course bad news for the Ramble. Plus, Zlatan reveals he once s**t himself to be more High Performance…

I only cheat myself

Marcus, Luke and Jim round off a barnstorming FA Cup weekend by reminding everyone what the magic of the cup is really about: not getting slapped 10-1 or beating the holders, but the friends we made along the way.

In more spiky corners of the pod, we try to work out the traits needed to be classified a ‘big club’ and run through some of our biggest flops of the season. Plus, we flip the age old Ramble question on his head: who’s the Premier League manager you’d *least* want alongside you in a fight? Outrageous accusations ensue.

Mailbag: What makes a big club?

What a weekend! Macclesfield climbed to the peak of Mount Everest to pull off the greatest FA Cup upset of all time. Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim are here to revel in that.

Elsewhere, Man City's 10-1 win against Exeter leaves an unsavoury taste in Luke's mouth. Plus, Liam Rosenior has a very 'High Performance' start to life at Chelsea and the FA Cup supercomputer has some serious questions to answer.

Dawson's Peak

Luke makes his return to the My Biddy Aunt arena for the first time in 2026, but can the Marcus Mount cause a new year upset? On FA Cup weekend, anything can happen.

Jim's back on the buttons after he was defeated by the newly named David Cartalonia Cartlidge.

My Biddy Aunt: FA Cup Icons

Newcastle's bunch of ragtag mercenaries probably saw yesterday's tussle with Tottenham as a chance to show the new owners what they're all about. So: Callum Wilson scored, Allan Saint-Maximin danced down some blind alleys and Jonjo Shelvey was sent off after 20 minutes. Standard.

Jules, Luke and Pete blast through that and some other cracking games from the weekend, as Wolves and the Foxes complete outrageous comebacks and Liverpool's relentless form continued. Plus a steward scored with a dildo - make of that what you will.
