“Have you signed the card for Liam? He’s leaving… You know Liam, the one banging on about respecting the ball.”Marcus and Vish jump on the pod after another round of corporate restructuring at BlueCo means Liam Rosenior has lost the Chelsea job. We wonder how the club’s ownership continue to get it so wrong and try to work out who’d want the job long term.Elsewhere, Man City go top after a nervy, unconvincing win against now-relegated Burnley - Arsenal fans, stay ready. Plus, a banging last-gasp Sean Longstaff volley grabbed a precious points for Leeds at Bournemouth!You can get early access tickets to our massive World Cup party by signing up to the Football Ramble Patreon for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.Get your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Things aren't looking good for young Liam Rosenior at the Chels. Five losses in a row in the Premier League and not a single goal scored for the first time since November 1912. That's even earlier than the release of the first Keystone Cops film. Fitting, eh?Marcus, Pete & Vish dive into that travesty. Plus, Marc Cucurella's barber has a stinker, Leicester City drop down to the third tier, and Matt Le Tissier shouts at a cloud.Get your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Despite notable improvements on and off the pitch, Mikel Arteta still hasn’t delivered the trophies Arsenal now expect - and it looks alarmingly like that trend could continue. So Marcus, Luke and David assess whether the Arsenal board should be looking for his replacement this summer if he doesn’t win a trophy. Plus, we look back on some international defeats that proved vital to eventual success, celebrate this season’s promoted teams that are bucking the trend and shudder at the thought of Chelsea’s next manager. Plus, a Brazil-based listener brings us more vital information about Mogi Mirim! For early access to tickets to our World Cup Watchalong, sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/footballrambleGet your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

It was a truly Super Sunday as we were treated to a Premier League classic between Man City and Arsenal. Just remember to give credit to everyone involved.Marcus, Luke and David relive it on today’s show. Plus, we cautiously acknowledge the celebration police could have a point about Xavi Simons’ goal and we’ve got a HUGE announcement ahead of this summer’s World Cup.For early access to tickets to our World Cup Watchalong, sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/footballrambleGet your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

The Ramble Intercontinental Senate lies in ruin after Jimbabwe destroyed both Donaco and Spelgium. All hope seems lost, but a ray of light has broken through.

It's the one we've all been waiting for, ladies and gents. On a particularly superb Sunday, Manchester City host Arsenal right in the upper echelons of the Premier League. The unstoppable-looking force meets the moveable object, I suppose you could say.Jim joins Marcus and Luke to continue his nail-biting. Meanwhile, Fiorentina's ABBA goal music prompts Luke to assemble the 'Hologram XI', and Jonjo Shelvey drags the Kingdom's name into the mud. Bugger off, Jonj.

We learnt one thing last night and it’s that everyone should take a leaf out of Keggy’s book and commit to full chaos.Marcus and Luke are here to reflect on a Champions League classic between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only game last night. We also re-live another tough watch at the Emirates, where Arsenal appear to be riding a roller coaster without any of the joy.Get your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Marcus and Luke pack up the truck and head out onto the plains for another edition of Lions Watch, the show where we continually talk up England outsiders’ chances without any consideration for who we’d have to drop from the squad. And plenty more besides.We kick off today with a chat about England’s defenders as Nico O’Reilly’s impressive form pushes him closer to many people’s starting XIs - but does he make ours? Plus: getting the attacking blend right, some of the other World Cup groups and whether the likes of Max Dowman and Rio Ngumoha can grab a last-minute spot on the plane.We stream Lions Watch live on YouTube every other Wednesday! Subscribe to our YouTube to get notified when we go live next.Get your Ramble merch HERE.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.**Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show an will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

On today’s show, Marcus, Luke and Vish tackle the big question: is Bournemouth overrated? It’s possible that Andoni Iraola thinks so.As well as that hot debate, we’ve also got the small matter of some Champions League quarter-finals to enjoy. And DO NOT forget about Portsmouth who got a huge win in the Championship last night.Get your Ramble merch HERE.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.
