Football Ramble

Timmy ten Hag

Well, it looks like Erik Ten Hag has bought himself a bit of time following one of the dullest games the Premier League has ever seen. In other words, exactly what the big man needed.


But in better news for the Dutchman, Ten Hag wasn't the biggest bald fraud at Villa Park on Sunday. Nope, that honour would go to his ballboy doppelgänger who we're calling Timmy (what's a grown man doing in that role anyway?).


Marcus, Jim and Pete are here to dissect all the rest of the Premier League action before the real football starts this week. Bring on that international break!

  • Mailbag: Is it okay for fans to leave early?

    42:50|

  • Mike Sheep

    46:50|
    Arsenal could only manage a 2-0 win at home to PSG. Pathetic. Today, Pete, Vish and Jim (mainly Pete) are here to question why Arsenal weren’t able to despatch this new woke incarnation of PSG by at least four goals, like the mighty Newcastle did last season.Elsewhere, Pete questions whether everyone in the world named Nuri Şahin is extremely handsome.

  • Ramble Reacts: The Cherries beat the sea slugs

    30:41|
    Bournemouth beat Southampton 3-1, which means Southampton are still languishing near the bottom of the table. Just how Luke likes it…Today, he and Jim take a look at Southampton and question how much time Russell Martin has left in the job. Graham Potter loitering in the Sky studio like a vulture probably isn't helping. Speaking of which, Luke explains which Sky presenter is a “poor man’s Gary Cotterill”.
