Football Ramble

It's going to cost a lot of money to go to this summer's World Cup. So what will happen to the atmosphere at games? And just how many people on X are going to tell you that it's actually perfectly justifiable to charge hundreds of dollars for a seat in Row Z?

Marcus, Luke and David return to Friday's discussion about the true cost of the 2026 World Cup. Plus, is Unai Emery the best Premier League manager of the last five years apart from Pep? The lads also discuss which of the Prem's long-standing records looks the hardest to break and what's more important: football or love?

Mailbag: What is going on with ticket prices for the World Cup?

What’s more bleak? Newcastle’s derby day performance or the thought of Pete Donaldson spending his Sunday afternoon in an indie club?

Today, Pete left Marcus, Luke and a very smug David Cartlidge a voicenote - from said indie club - with his unfiltered thoughts on proceedings. Plus, we take joy in the fallout between Jamie Carragher and Rio Ferdinand and start to wonder: are Arsenal having a wobble?

Mackem mayhem

After weeks of feverish anticipation, Jack's Encyclopaedia returns! And there are a couple of absolute s**t-offs in this one...

Pete of Donaco adjudicates a re-run of the Luke Nation vs the Kingdom of Speller. After a week of scrutiny, Mo Salah at last gets his own Jack's Encyclopaedia category, while Daryl Janmaat definitely doesn't. Poor Daryl.

Come join us for the ultimate showdown of the weekend!

Jack's Encyclopaedia: Mo Salah's favourite teammates, a Newcastle vs Sunderland throwback, and Andy Brassell's Instagram

Pete’s got a new haircare routine! It’s got him in the mood to gorge on some festive Europa League action. Today, he's joined by Marcus and Luke for a delicious European buffet.

Elsewhere, we tuck into the upcoming Tyne and Wear derby. Plus, the FIFA posse have announced their World Cup ticket prices and Samuel Eto'o has found himself in the middle of a quite baffling situation in Cameroon.

The Preview Show: Beauty and the Pete

A big night in the Champions League, but an even bigger night for the Official Martin Keown Fan Club here at the Football Ramble. Seriously though, it's gone too far.

Pete, Jim and Luke pick over last night's action and crimes against commentary, plus Pete's incredibly well-received DJ sets in Topman. They then enter a surprisingly deep camel racing rabbit hole after Paul Pogba invests in a camel racing team. Are we fascinated? Yes. Do we think Graeme Souness' moustache should be transplanted onto one of the camels? Also yes.

Souness gets the hump

The Mo Salah drama rumbles on after Liverpool win in Milan with the Egyptian King™ stuck in the gym at home. But why is Marc Cucurella really to blame for all of this? Marcus, Jim and David discuss that on today’s Ramble.

Elsewhere, Pep Guardiola is unusually cheery as he stirs the already boiling pot at Real Madrid. Plus, Craig Bellamy doubles down on his feud with Jesse Marsch.

So, it’s all Marc Cucurella’s fault?

We all know that feeling. Standing there in the pouring rain, watching your team get absolutely battered and thinking to yourself, "what a massive waste of money." But should that mean you're entitled to your money back?

Marcus, Luke and Jim are here to mull over that very question. Plus, is there too much emphasis on history in football, and in honour of Vish's trip down under, what's the furthest the lads have ever travelled only to end up incredibly disappointed?

Mailbag: Should clubs refund fans after thrashings?

On the latest edition of the Liverpool soap opera: Leeds grab a late equaliser and Mo Salah gives an explosive interview.

Today, Marcus, Jim and Luke are on hand to unpick all of that. Plus, we offered a detailed assessment of Rio Ferdinand's World Cup draw hosting and ask the question on everyone’s lips: are Aston Villa on the verge?

Brookside: The Reunion

Marcus and Jim watched the full World Cup draw so that you didn't have to... and reacted to it all live on YouTube! Join us for our takes on England's group, Scotland's group, and what can only be described as a truly, utterly bizarre couple of hours. We have thoughts...

2026 World Cup Draw Reaction!

The World Cup draw is just a few hours away, but we couldn't leave you without a bit of Biddy Biddy to settle the nerves ahead of a night of chaos.

In what is being billed across the world as an MBA relegation play-off, Jim and Pete go head-to-head to determine who really is the worst My Biddy Aunt player in the gang.

Marcus is on the buttons for this bout between the Democratic Republic of Jimbabwe and the tax-free paradise of Donaco.
