Football Ramble

Farewell international football, welcome back domestic football. We've not even kicked a ball yet and you lot are already asking about sackings!

But with a couple of managers under pressure, is it a surprise that none of them got the boot in the international break?

Marcus, Luke & Vish are here to debate just that! Plus, what's the best interview meltdown in football history?

It’s time for the FA Cup quarter-finals! Jean-Philippe Mateta has returned just in time, and Marcus, Luke and Vish are wondering if he’s got a new superpower to use to his advantage.

Elsewhere, Cristiano Ronaldo has entered the virtual world and Gary Caldwell blames his Scottish accent for him getting sent off last week. Yeah, it was the accent Gary...

Today, we're bringing you a special teaser of what you can expect every week on the Football Ramble Patreon.

For just £4.50 a month, you'll get an extended version of every Wednesday episode of the Ramble! It's called Ramble Uncut and it's full of all the stuff we would be talking about if football wasn't always getting in the way. You’ll also hear from fellow Patreon subscribers on the Discord, get behind-the-scenes news, and, of course, receive regular Pitbull updates from Mr SW15 himself.

Marcus is off and we’ve called in substitute teacher Donaldson to teach Luke and Jim a thing or two on today’s Ramble.

Naturally, that means we discuss Millwall’s new 5G network, Carlisle United's team bus moonlighting and Dean Huijsen being asked whether he smokes. Oh, and we read out various Liverpool fan reactions to the news that Trent Alexander-Arnold is off to Real Madrid.

Thomas Tuchel’s first international break as England manager is over. He’s given us two “professional” wins against inferior opposition and some chat about maybe playing 4-4-2. Have we fully indoctrinated him into the English way already?

Marcus and Jim resist starting a chorus of Vindaloo, however, they do mull over that and try to work out what we’ve learned about Tuchel’s England so far.
