12RofC - The Bust Up Dec 14, 2018

Show notes

We all love a football-based spat, be it between teammates, rival managers, or a Knight of the Realm and a slice of pizza. It may be neither big nor clever, but let’s be honest it’s brilliant and we love it.

From classic Dutch bust ups, long running feuds between managers, or even between managers and institutions, to those momentary explosions of emotion that live on forever, we have a good old chuckle at the lot.

Warning: Contains Tony Pulis. Nude.

Lazy Prince: Manchester vs Merseyside, Spurs marching on and a frosty Rafa Benitez Dec 13, 2018

Show notes

The giants of Manchester and Merseyside meet this weekend. Can Everton get something at Man City? Will Jose Mourinho try to destroy the spectacle at Anfield? We have no idea because none of it has happened yet, but we’re going to have a damn good chat about it all the same.

In things that have already happened there were some excellent games in the Champions League, we learn of a football bullying story with a twist, and our best bettor gives us a brave and bold suggestion.

12RofC - The Maverick Dec 13, 2018

Show notes

The 12 Rambles of Christmas are back! This year we’re bringing you the 12 things we love most about football, starting with… The Maverick.

We love those players who think differently, play differently and are… differently. From the big names who’ve changed the fabric of football itself, to the stars that shone brightly but briefly, to Adel Taarabt. We enthuse about those characters that make the game a little more special and try to get to the bottom of what makes them so great.

A private smirk: Chelsea halt Man City, Mo Salah dazzles again and the Copa Libertadores is quite mad Dec 10, 2018

Show notes

Well, aren’t Chelsea an enigma? No sooner than we thought their flush might be busted they go and beat Man City, allowing a Mo Salah-inspired Liverpool to stay on top. We have a title race!

Glancing around the rest of the sport we meet a piece of the puzzle we didn’t know Bournemouth were missing, learn of Karren Brady’s mind games and how eeeeeeeasy things are for Portsmouth right now.

Also, Andros Townsend did not score this weekend.

Think of the shareholders: Wolves beat Chelsea, spoils are shared at Old Trafford and Southampton get their man Dec 06, 2018

Show notes

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas after a dizzying round of midweek fixtures. We’re here to look at Wolves wobbling Chelsea’s wheels, Man United and Arsenal having a strange old contest of Who Can Score the Weirdest Goal and look ahead to Cardiff and Southampton scrapping for those delicious points.

We also discover the surprising depth of Pete’s affection for Man United’s fans and board, make some bold(ish) predictions about Andros Townsend’s season and hear about some wonderful science that we all definitely understand.

Klopp in the box: North London is red, so is Jordan Pickford’s face, and Mark Hughes is out Dec 03, 2018

Show notes

A busy weekend as the North London Derby produces another classic, Mark Hughes collects another P45 and Jordan Pickford has a moment to forget. Particular highlights include the welcome return of Tim Sherwood embarrassing himself.

There’s also the Scottish League Cup final, in December, further news of footballers egging innocent members of the public, and a very testing time for Partick Thistle.

Ramble Meets... Chris Kirkland Dec 02, 2018

Show notes

At just 20, Chris became the most expensive goalkeeper in British transfer history signing for Liverpool, the club he supports, from Coventry, the club he grew up at, for £6m in 2001. What followed was a career that despite being held back by a series of unfortunate injuries amassed over 200 appearances at the top level and included a Champions League win and an England cap. In this latest Ramble Meets... Chris gives an honest and insightful assessment of his career and shines a light on the life of a professional player through both the good and bad times.

Further eggings: The puzzle of N’Golo Kante, London and Merseyside derbies and Man United droning on Nov 29, 2018

Show notes

We’ve got your Champions League, we’ve got your Premier League but best of all we’ve got your Aston Villa vs Nottingham Forest in The Championship. What a game, and what a feast of football we have to serve up for you.

Elsewhere we’ve got Sol Campbell getting himself a job, we’ve got misgivings about the institution known as Internazionale and we’ve got point-gobbling Newcastle welcoming West Ham to their empty stadium. We’ve got the lot.

Svengus: Spurs pump Chelsea, Claudio Ranieri gets a win and ALAN HUTTON Nov 26, 2018

Show notes

The Premier League is back with a Spurs and Aleksandar Mitrovic infused bang and we talk all about it, because that’s very much what this podcast is about. We’re also delighted to be chatting about Claudio Ranieri and his delightful methods as once again pizza solves everything.

Further down the leagues Alan Hutton definitively peaks in spectacular fashion, while in South America the Copa Libertadores descends into chaos and we touch upon the very important topic of eggings.

Dayo: Scotland are promoted, Ireland need a new manager and the Premier League returns Nov 22, 2018

Show notes

What a fun weekend of international football we’ve had, and what a fun weekend of Premier League football we’re about to have!

We chat about Scotland’s promotion, Ireland’s bound-to-be-entertaining search for a new manager, the retirement of flag-punching legend Tim Cahill and Gianni Infantino’s novel approach to what should probably be private discussions. Back in domestic football we welcome Claudio Ranieri back to England, rub thighs in anticipation of Spurs vs Chelsea and rub chins ahead of Arsenal’s trip to Bournemouth.

And if you’re worried that we missed it, we absolutely talk about Patrice Evra sucking a raw chicken.
