    Razzle and dazzle

    Razzle and dazzle

    Marcus is calling for more corruption from officials after VAR correctly ruled out Coventry’s winner against Man United. At least the result means Erik ten Hag might keep his Job. So there is something for us all to enjoy.
    Elsewhere, Marcus, Jim and Pete investigate another huge conspiracy after hearing rumours that the VAR official in the Everton vs Forest game was a HUGE Football Ramble fan. Speaking of which, who invited José Mourinho to watch Liverpool play at Craven Cottage?

    Mailbag: How Pep Guardiola has changed English football

    Mailbag: How Pep Guardiola has changed English football

    Pep Guardiola arrived at Manchester City almost 8 years ago. A reign that started with sacking Joe Hart has turned into one the most impactful managerial careers in Premier League history. Today, Marcus, Andy and Luke assess how Pep has revolutionised the English game.
    Elsewhere, Luke explains we it is a joke that the player of the season is being awarded already. Plus, the Ramblers re-call some of their favourite mass celebrations and assess what food would be best to fire out of a T-shirt gun. It’s another classic Mailbag!

    The Preview Show: It makes me Schick

    The Preview Show: It makes me Schick

    Shhh of course we knew that yellow cards don’t carry over to a penalty shootout! In Emi Martinez we trust.
    Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete catch up after last night’s European frolickings and then realise that the FA Cup has crept up on us. Alejandro Garnacho shows digital contrition ahead of Man United’s semi-final against Coventry City, Paul Scholes gets his old chap out, and players injure themselves trying to avoid a club crest but show a #touchofclass.
    Plus, Portsmouth players swearing a lot on radio, Luke shares a message for the cowardly Vithushan Ehantharajah and Pete tells everyone how to use a knife and fork.

    Ramble Reacts: Little old Real Madrid

    Ramble Reacts: Little old Real Madrid

    How about them plucky underdogs Real Madrid, eh? Marcus and Vish are on hand to react to a disastrous evening in Europe for the English sides.
    On a night which saw Erling Haaland subbed before extra time, Vish asks whether Man City had too many cooks and no one to eat the pudding. In Munich, Arsenal also appeared to be lacking an appetite as they failed to trouble Bayern. We wonder where Arsenal go from here to ensure they can get the results when it really counts.

    Yabadabadoo

    Barcelona may have lost the tie last night, but have they won the war to become the Champions League’s next banter club? Today, Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish are here to review a night of Champos action that at times resembled a drunken brawl - and they bloody enjoyed it!
    You know what they also bloody enjoyed? Portsmouth returning to the Championship! And they created the perfect conditions for a pitch invasion...
    Plus, Andy compares Mauricio Pochettino to Tim Sherwood, Jim starts an unexpected campaign to unite the people of London, and the lads outline the ONLY circumstance in which Arsenal will want to hear Bayern Munich play the Can-can this evening.

Perfect football chat for British millennials

I’ve listened to this podcast for the best part of twelve years, and it’s one of my favourites. You feel like you’re listening in on 4+ mates talking and joking about the sport they love. Each person has a unique personality that works well in combo with others. It does have a British mainstream millennial male vibe to it (self-referential witty banter, the deliberate juxtaposition of intelligent discussion with low-level ‘banter’, nostalgia for the 90s etc.) which might not be to everyone’s tastes, but are definitely to mine.

For me, it did peak in the first half of the 2010s with the original 4 and hasn’t quite hit those heights again. However, that could equally be a reflection on my age and stage at that time. It still definitely retains enough of what I originally loved to keep me listening weekly. Highly recommended for football enjoyers.

Still the best

Great podcast now that they have got rid of the insufferable mason. Just need to bin pish and braless now. Would have give it 5 stars if not for the fact that they’re all shameless hypocrites. Hilarious though..

Not real pundits

This used to be brilliant then they all started to believe in the importance of their own opinion. The silly irreverence disappeared, which was bad, because that is what set them apart. If I want an opinion on football then I am not going to come to these guys, not after listening to the early years. There are more interesting and better qualified people. Thanks but no thanks anymore
