Football Ramble
Big Daddy Premier League
•
It’s the first weekend and we’ve already had a referee apology, a broken VAR monitor and a dubious headbutt. Oh, how we've missed you, Big Daddy Premier League.
Today, Pete tells Marcus and Luke that the Premier League should introduce a silly sausage card. Plus, Marcus has to come to terms with the fact that Raheem Sterling could be leaving Chelsea and we hear about some fabulous shithousery in Hungary. It’s good to be back!

Plus, we flip the age old Ramble question on his head: who’s the Premier League manager you’d *least* want alongside you in a fight?
