Football Ramble

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!

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.

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.

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.

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?
