Football Ramble

It's probably fair to say at this point that Wolverhampton Wanderers are as dead as a dodo. Two points from 17 games and staring relegation right down the barrel. But will they end up being the worst Premier League side we have ever seen?

Marcus, David and Jim debate whether they can reach the lofty heights of Derby County's 11 Premier League points. Plus, should we embrace 'ultras' culture in England? In other news, the curse of Speller comes to light...

Mailbag: Are Wolves the worst team in Premier League history?

Big Mama Premier League gifted us a barn-burning weekend right on the eve of Christmas. Gosh, we must have been good this year.

Today, Marcus, David and Jim revel in the enjoyable chaos of Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea and the less-enjoyable chaos of Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool. Plus, David goes to war against 'modern football'...

Play that ukulele

Thanks to the assistance of multiple NGOs, Luke has agreed to temporarily withdraw his troops from the My Biddy Aunt battleground. That allows the Kingdom of Spelgium to safely take on the Principality of Donaco under the watchful eye of Jimbabwe's international police force.

Is it finally time for Pete to get a win on the board, or can Marcus continue to cement his place as the game's second best player?

The Preview Show: Can you sniff it?

Marcus and Pete had to be kept apart after Newcastle and Fulham did battle last night. Today, they were joined by Jim to unpack another night of sweet Carabao. 

Elsewhere, Wilfried Nancy is the next manager to behave like a Facebook mum on social media. Plus, Jim launches a campaign to create an award for the highest overhead kick ever.

Control your own X (formerly known as Twitter)

We’re into the business end of the Carabao! Although there wasn’t an upset last night, Marcus, Pete and Luke give Cardiff their dues for a spirited performance against the World Champions.

Elsewhere, barns are still burning - and Kobbie Mainoo still isn’t free - after Man United drew 4-4 with Bournemouth on Monday. Plus, Marcus develops his five-year plan to get Brother Brendy to manage Fulham.

Pete’s cheesy knees

It's going to cost a lot of money to go to this summer's World Cup. So what will happen to the atmosphere at games? And just how many people on X are going to tell you that it's actually perfectly justifiable to charge hundreds of dollars for a seat in Row Z?

Marcus, Luke and David return to Friday's discussion about the true cost of the 2026 World Cup. Plus, is Unai Emery the best Premier League manager of the last five years apart from Pep? The lads also discuss which of the Prem's long-standing records looks the hardest to break and what's more important: football or love?

Mailbag: What is going on with ticket prices for the World Cup?

What’s more bleak? Newcastle’s derby day performance or the thought of Pete Donaldson spending his Sunday afternoon in an indie club?

Today, Pete left Marcus, Luke and a very smug David Cartlidge a voicenote - from said indie club - with his unfiltered thoughts on proceedings. Plus, we take joy in the fallout between Jamie Carragher and Rio Ferdinand and start to wonder: are Arsenal having a wobble?

Mackem mayhem

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!

The Preview Show: Beauty and the Pete

Vish joins Marcus, Luke and Jim to celebrate Man United actually trying and playing midfielders who could run to earn a 2-2 draw with Liverpool. Phwoar!

We also take on The Trent Alexander-Arnold Situation and what happens next, while there’s special concern for Anthony Gordon after his UNESCO World Heritage conk gets another bash. 

Plus, Ivan Jurić brings less death metal than deathly silence at St Mary’s and Marcus issues a BIG prediction about Harry Kane’s England successor. Just let him have that fight with Ed Sheeran in the Craven Cottage carpark first.
