Football Ramble
Donaldson’s Fishmongers
•
The new season is upon us! And where else to start but Pete’s potential incompetence as a fishmonger.
Pete, Luke, Vish and Andy discuss the Community Shield, whether Hugh Jackman is a weird bloke after his visit to Wrexham, and we pay our respects to the teams that go thrashed on the opening day of the EFL season. Come join us and catch our next episode on Wednesday!
