The Ramble: Like a Carroll out of water Jan 30, 2023

Show notes

Jules and Jim are joined by ESPN schills Vish and David to react to a busy FA Cup fourth round weekend!

There’s an embarrassing confusion for Jules at a baby shower, while Jim has a theory about Andy Carroll after he put the studs in star-studded at Old Trafford and we brainstorm a new One Show segment for Jermaine Jenas. Plus, Vish takes control of the jingles. Big mistake.

Jim brings a troubling Mauro Icardi update, Roy Hodgson swoops down onto the pitch at Craven Cottage, and there are stunning revelations that Marcus once watched an entire Scottish Cup final in John Lewis’ TV section.

Plus, can Duncan Ferguson try to convince King Charles to become a Forest Green fan? And will his sausage fingers be allowed through the turnstiles?

On The Continent: Making sense of the turmoil in Turin Jan 26, 2023

Show notes

Dotun and Andy are joined by Italian football expert Nicky Bandini to get their heads around the chaos at Juventus. We discuss what could come next, how much money the club owe Cristiano Ronaldo, and the possibility of the deduction being reversed entirely. Plus, could title-chasing Napoli really get dragged into this?

We also discuss a truly ridiculous goal-fest in Germany and the one surprise contender that could leave Bayern looking nervously over their shoulder. And over in Spain, how have Sevilla gone from Champions League regulars to relegation strugglers?!

The Ramble: Console yourself with a refreshing Carabao Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Jules, Luke and Jim jump into the pocket of big Carabao for a bonus Ramble! Seriously though, why is the River Tyne so green and fizzy today?

Elsewhere, Everton are in talks with Big Sam – seriously – and we find out that referees might be about to get a new card. Plus, the narrative couldn’t be stronger north of the border: a sixth-tier team whose owner makes Scotch pies beating Aberdeen. Vintage fitba.

The Football Ramble’s Guide To… José Mourinho and Pep Guardiola: Part 2! Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

Today, we turn the Ramble spotlight onto the master puppeteer himself: José Mourinho.

From the moment he sprinted into our footballing lives at Old Trafford with his coat billowing behind him, to his almighty fall from grace at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester, we relive all his charm, flaws, and that absolutely unrelenting chip on his shoulder.

We explain why Real Madrid ruined his career and we settle it once and for all: who has had the most successful managerial career, Guardiola or Mourinho?

The Ramble: An awkward encounter with Jack Wilshere Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

There are barn cinders all over North London! Marcus, Jim, Vish and David react to an epic tussle between Arsenal and Manchester United.

In more exciting news, Jim meets Jack Wilshere, Kate meets Frank Lampard, and everyone wishes that Liverpool didn’t meet Chelsea. Surprisingly, David then makes the case for Dychey at Everton and we discover why Kaoru Mitoma is so bloody good. And a Ramble legend returns to the fold in the Championship. He’d bite your hand off for a draw.

The Preview Show: Cristiano’s World Cup final Jan 20, 2023

Show notes

Marcus, Luke and Andy see in the weekend! We check in with Charlie Kane, struggle to translate a very unrelaxed and dehydrated Pep Guardiola, and bring news from Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut! Is that… Kasabian’s guitarist on the left wing?

Plus, Luke finally completes his long-anticipated transformation into Richard Keys and Andy and Marcus face off in a Jack’s Encyclopaedia that will probably go immediately out of date. STOP SIGNING PLAYERS TODD FOR GOD’S SAKE!

On The Continent: A first trophy for Xavi, but is it a new era for Barcelona? Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

Where else to start this week but in Naples! After Napoli steamroll Juventus, Dotun, Lars and Andy explore just how Napoli have become the most exciting team in Europe – the secret is all in the midfield and one former Fulham man…

Elsewhere, Barcelona’s young guns prove why they can edge Real Madrid’s trophy juggernauts in the title race, even if Joan Laporta is up to more antics. Plus, how are Bayern placed without their key man between the sticks as the Bundesliga returns – and why have a team in Italy rehired their manager after 36 hours?!

The Football Ramble’s Guide To… Pep Guardiola and José Mourinho: Part 1! Jan 18, 2023

Show notes

Two managers have defined football in the 21st century more than anyone else. And luckily for us, they have also both absolutely hated each other! Across two special Ramble Guides, we’re exploring their influence and their hatred in all its glory.

In Part 1, Marcus, Andy and Vish look at the career of Pep Guardiola. We discuss how he built Barcelona and simultaneously pissed everyone off, how his rivalry with Mourinho at Real Madrid almost broke him, and his unrivalled influence on English football.

We’ll be back next Tuesday to discuss the fallen angel himself: José Mourinho!
