Rice Rice Baby: England, Scotland and Wales look to the future, Northern Ireland have a mountain to climb Mar 21, 2019

Show notes

International football is back! There could be very exciting times ahead for the home nations aside from poor Northern Ireland, who have a draw Michael O’Neill called “very cruel”. England have an exciting crop of players coming through, Scotland look as strong as they have in years and Wales could do well if Ryan Giggs has got time to be around and coach them.

Away from the international stage we have news of a Dickie Borthwick TV appearance, an email section with a jealousy-inspiring spend and the tantalising prospect of the first ever Order of the Ramble Empire…

Nicklas Spendtner: FA Cup controversies, a West Ham comeback and an angry Marcelo Bielsa Mar 18, 2019

Show notes

The FA Cup quarter finals are over and they were full of late goals, VAR controversy and sort-of-but-not-quite cupsets, the Championship had an outfield player in goal, and in the Premier League Javier Hernandez’s impressive under-the-radar goal return justified the West Ham spend that everyone’s jealous of.

As well as all this, Wes Morgan wins Brendan Rodgers’ Epitomising the Humble Attitude of the Group Award, Paul Scholes has enough and we learn of a delightfully specialist app, link below. Don’t worry, it’s safe for work…

Football tapas: English clubs remain in Europe, the FA Cup returns, and the Premier League says hi Mar 14, 2019

Show notes

What a competition-hopping show we have for you here; four English teams into the last eight of the Champions League! Man City making a daunting FA Cup trip to Swansea, with their fast players and hilariously bad penalties! West Ham and Huddersfield in the good old Premier League!

Despite so many competitions to cover we still find time to report on some father and son bragging rights, enjoy some cheeky goals from yesteryear and ask; do we eat up goalkeepers?

Shola Didn’t Score: The top four fight gets juicy, Newcastle win a cracker and Jack Grealish steps up Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

Another excellent weekend of action with an intense Weird Derby at Selhurst Park, a thrilling match between Newcastle United and Jordan Pickford, and Spurs thrusting themselves into the fight for the top four.

As well as this red hot chat we’ve got a nuclear weapon on the pitch, we’ve got huddle etiquette, we’ve got dubious lookalikes, we’ve got it all, damn it. Come on in.

Notable libertines: Man United, Spurs do the job and the Premier League’s oddest derby looms Mar 07, 2019

Show notes

The good times continue for Man United as they make history in Europe by enjoyably mugging off PSG while their largely injured squad watched on from the sidelines (and internet). And, as well as looking back, we look forward to their trip to the Emirates, Crystal Palace and Brighton locking beaks in what may now become known as The Delayed Derby, while Neil Warnock tries to get in Southampton heads.

Off the pitch, Robert Snodgrass has a lot of explaining to do, we learn that as well as a David Beckham statue there’s a David Beckham temple, and Ramble Baker Steve Hobbs makes a welcome return, with news of an opportunity.

A pie of worms: Draws galore, offsides bore, and a tight top four Mar 04, 2019

Show notes

Another excellent weekend of football involving surprisingly thrilling draws, confusion about the offside rule and late goals, which for the record still count. That makes it sound a bit pedestrian but honestly it was brilliant.

While discussing all that we make our best Pep Guardiola noises, get some clarity on the cost of a booking, put a photoshop challenge to you, the listener, and get a comprehensive answer to last week’s joint question.

Also, Pie and Chips Man HITS OUT. Now please stop emailing us about pies.

Treble Treble: Liverpool hit five, Chelsea recover quickly, and Brendan Rodgers returns Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

A full round of midweek fixtures to play with! What a joy, and it didn’t disappoint. Liverpool were rampant, Spurs provided a comical own glol, even Mesut Ozil made a guest appearance.

Best of all though, Brendan Rodgers stalks the land once more, ready to show us what we’ve been missing.

You’ll also not be surprised to learn that the pie thing is rumbling on, with the opinion of a professional thrown into the mix, as well as a pondering of limbs and a surprising revelation about fines.

Boo-el: The Carabao Cup ends in farce, Man United and Liverpool are even and Claude gets the sack Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

So much beef this weekend! Be it Maurizio Sarri and Kepa Arrizabalaga, Mauricio Pochettino and Mike Dean or The Football Ramble and The Football Ramble’s correspondence section, the place has been left looking like a butcher’s floor, and that butcher does not have a convincing hygiene rating.

We have yet more pie chat, there’s a welcome appearance from Ian McShane, and this week the WhatsApp group is very fancy.
