Football Ramble

Boring?? Not our beloved football! In the words of Marcus Speller: "I like marzipan but I wouldn't have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner."

Marzipan Speller is joined by Luke and Andy to answer all of your questions on this week's Mailbag. It is simply unmissable stuff.

Mailbag: Has football become more boring?

Chelsea are blossoming under Enzo Maresca. Pete tells Marcus and Jim the secret reason why Maresca was always the man capable of cleaning things up at Chelsea.

Elsewhere, Jim's hopes for Arsenal's title tilt are fading. Plus, Man City drew away to Crystal Palace. A good point on the road for Man City when you consider the xB (expected bluster).

The xB Philosophy

Death, taxes and Wolves not getting a decision from VAR. Marcus and Jim fear they might have just watched Gary O’Neil’s final match as Wolves manager.

Elsewhere, Marcus compares Jarrod Bowen’s goal to Lionel Messi. He might just have gone too far this time...

Ramble Reacts: Someone call The Ferryman

We all know the featured artist is the real star of the show, just ask Pitbull. Today, Marcus, Pete and Jim heap more praise on Jhon Durán after another goal off the bench last night.

Elsewhere, Marcus admits that he misses José Mourinho in England. Plus, official Monster Energy Man™ Pete Donaldson shares his thoughts on the news that his nemesis RB Leipzig are out of Europe.

Ft. Jhon Durán

Pete’s in his increasingly hot seat today alongside Luke and Jim, as they assess the future of the only man in a hotter chair: Pep Guardiola. Even the goal-line technology’s working against them!

Elsewhere, Arsenal put on the most underwhelming 3-0 clinic you’ll see, FIFA’s blatant corruption continues to astound and Jim Ratcliffe’s cost-saving measures at Man United aren’t very Christmassy.

Jose’s Jugs

It was all square in a “Battle of Britain” last night. Marcus, Luke and Andy start to worry about whether Ange Postecoglou could be leaving Tottenham sooner rather than later.

Elsewhere, Andy suddenly realised that Man City have turned into latter stage Oasis. Oh dear...

The Preview Show: Latter stage Oasis

Saudi Arabia have won the bid to host the 2034 World Cup... thanks Gianni Infantino.

But it made us think. Are we naive to assume that football will remain a European-dominated sport? For the sake of Andy Brassell, we bloomin' well hope so.

Marcus, Luke and Andy are here to chat through that and more on this week's Mailbag.

Mailbag: Will football remain a European-dominated sport?

Two managerial sackings, a Manchester derby and a genuine Keystone Cops moment. What a weekend in the Barclays!

Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim are actually forced to ask: Are Man City a banter club? Plus, Luke argues that Emi Martinez could have made the greatest save of all-time. Who even is David Seaman again?

Not bad this league, is it?

Arise Sir Enes Ünal! There's nothing quite like a Barclays-flavoured treat to brighten up your Monday.

Marcus and Jim react to Bournemouth’s chaotic (and greasy) stalemate with West Ham and Lucas Paqueta’s cryptic work on X. Plus, in great news for the Ramble, there’s a rat at Man United...

Ramble Reacts: A Beckham-esque stunner

After the news that Vitor Pereira will be the new Wolves manager, Marcus and Pete have just one question for Andy: Is he as mad as he sounds?

Elsewhere, Pete reminds us that no idea is a bad idea - unless it is the Unify League of course - and one of England’s most significant Marcuses has made a huge announcement that is dominating all of today’s headlines. But that’s enough about Speller admitting that he doesn’t like mustard…
