Football Ramble

We've got a heavyweight battle for you today in the MBA Arena as the absolute monarchy of the Luke Nation faces off against Clan Campbell.

The belt (or the crown in Luke's case) is back on the line, but will it change hands after today's bout? Marcus is the man in the middle attempting (and failing) to keep order.

My Biddy Aunt: Goal of the season winners

Does Sean Dyche like an emoji? Is it acceptable to lose to a side from Cyprus? Can you blame the wind for Emi Buendia's penalty? Are Hearts on the verge? And why is Wanda Icardi sliding into the DMs of Premier League footballers?

There is plenty for Marcus, Luke and Jim to consider on today’s Ramble.

The Preview Show: All you need is smut

Pete takes a break from doing his taxes to sit in Marcus’ chair today. He, Luke and Jim were spoilt rotten by the Champions League last night. Let’s just not talk about Tottenham…

The lads pick over that before turning their attention to the main event... The return of Sean Dyche! But will the reincarnation of old school tactics help or hinder the great man?

The Mainhatten Project

Did denying Atletico access to hot water help Arsenal win at the Emirates last night? While Marcus, Jim and Vish ponder that, they are certain that Arsenal will be delighted they don't have to travel to Madrid for a return fixture.

Elsewhere, Marcus is giddy after both Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford had a lovely night in Europe. Plus, is Rodri really from Peckham?

Rodri Trotter

Well, that didn't last long did it? Evangelos Marinakis took just 39 days to throw his new toy out of the bath as it looks like Ange Postecoglou has made way for... Sean Dyche. Oh God.

Pete tells Marcus and Luke why Nottingham Forest would be better off with Mr Blobby as their new gaffer. Plus, will Erling Haaland break the all-time Premier League goals record?

Mailbag: Was Ange Postecoglou the worst Premier League appointment of all time?

Feed the Isak and he will score. It’s just a shame his favourite food supplier is still in Newcastle. Today, Marcus, Luke and Pete wonder whether Liverpool will make a January move for Jacob Murphy. Plus, Pete revels in the fact that his views on Virgil van Dijk are finally being vindicated.

Elsewhere, we wave goodbye to Ange Postecoglou after 39 days at Nottingham Forest and we try to decide who delivered the best cross in the Premier League this weekend.

The Premier League is back! Marcus, Luke and Pete are here to give it the respectful welcome the league deserves.

Ramble Uncut: Mickey, please go away

Eeeeeaaaasssayyyy! Tommy Tuchs and his merry men have qualified for the World Cup – and they're the first country in Europe to do it. Have some of that, you slugs.

Marcus is here to revel in that feat alongside Luke and Vish. Plus, a rat is spotted on the pitch at the Wales match, Gianni Infantino's pied off by Donald Trump, and Graham Potter plays the ABBA hits.

Get that meat inside you

Hasn't it been lovely to see David Moyes back in the dugout at Goodison Park? But is it actually a good idea for a club to re-appoint a manager from years gone by?

Once Marcus, Jim and Andy have pondered on that, they ask whether TV companies are focussing too much on clipable content. Plus, in the next edition of Richard Keys' Bond films, who's going to be the Bond villain?
