That Sinking Feeling

On this week's Premier League Preview, the chaps discuss Liverpool's big trip to a beleaguered Chelsea where the stakes couldn't be higher, cast their eyes across West Ham's game with Watford and fear for Norwich as they make the trip to the Etihad Stadium.

We're back to a full strength team as Pete returns to the fold with tales of his #travels, and as always there's a terrible Newcastle result to welcome him home, complete with horse punching. Elsewhere, there's the rest of the Premier League to dissect and as always your highlights of the week, as well as a certain Aston Villa manager falling foul of the dreaded #Moorestradamus...

It's international week but the Ramble aren't slacking off.

This week, the Ramble tackle Tim Sherwood's existential breakdown, United's win over a listless Liverpool, Steven Naismith's single-handed victory over Chelsea and still have time to talk about sexy ladies in Ghana. What's more, they get through your highlights of the week and Marcus laments a poor performance from his beloved Jam Tarts.

Marcus, Jim, Pete and Luke try and fail miserably to contain their hysteria over the FBI raid on FIFA HQ, while the FA Cup Final, FIFA 16’s groundbreaking inclusion of women’s teams and Rio Ferdinand’s retirement dominate the chat.

We're all in this together, says Marcus. Not if it involves an evening at Crystals is the general consensus, as the Ramble ringmaster and the boys gather round the Football Ramble candle to discuss QPR’s relegation, Danny Rose’s hair & Steve Bruce’s literary career.

With our very own blond beauty in absentia this week, it’s up to Marcus, Jim and Pete to maintain standards.

Marcus fails miserably to contain his excitement at Pete’s return to the Ramble fold, so Jim and Luke don their ear defenders before eventually getting round to discussing the week’s football.

No one ever got punched in the early days when the Ramble was recorded in Luke’s kitchen. Luke, Marcus and Jim ponder this point in light of Wayne Rooney’s unlikely knock out at the fist of Phil Bardsley and Sunderland’s equally embarrassing capitulation to Tim Sherwood’s Aston Villa.

An opening question about pathetic capitulations reminds Marcus, Luke, Pete And Jim about Middlesbrough 8, Sven’s Manchester City 1 and even a debate about Shola Ameobi’s hat collection fails to draw the Football Ramble back from the brink of hysteria in this week’s episode. Harry Kane’s late equaliser vs. West Ham and Brentford’s illogical decision to sack Mark Warburton do their best, but by the time Sammy Ameobi gets his mensh, Pete’s gone full potty mouth and despite Jim’s best efforts, he stays firmly ensconced in the lav.

The Ramblers convene a day before the Jim White-sponsored day of immense stupidity and bluster, or 'transfer deadline day' for purists. So naturally we pretty much completely ignore the very notion of players moving clubs, instead concentrating on the important business of the Indian Premier League.

The Ramble Enforcers take a sneaky peek at the return of the Championship, The New York Cosmos rise again, and the boys argue about precisely how much of a steal Kris Boyd is.

Also, in the words of The Who, 'meet the new boss, same as the old boss' - it looks as if the brand new Brazil 'Mano-ger' will be giving us two holding players in the middle. Last week's DWHOF inductee Socrates will surely be choking on his ciggie.

Jack Wilshere goes a bit daft, and a child receives free cheese. What's not to love about this episode of the Ramble? (We had to change studios half way throught the pod, so the profile might sound a bit wonky to the trained ear. So Pete apologises for that. But who wants a trained ear? It sounds like a horrible thing to have.)

And How Are You? I'm Not Too Bad!

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:41:00 GMT

The full complement of Ramblers return with another dose of football medication for your ears. There's the inevitable Adebayor chat, Pete reveals a militant stance on women's goalkeeping, Jimbo unveils the halftime snack of choice for some Arsenal fans, and the email section provides one of the most entertaining and bizarre emails ever heard, courtesy of a schoolboy from Fife. Meanwhile, an old friend pops in to say hello. Hoooooooooo!

'Here Comes Peter Beagrie'

Wed, 09 Sep 2009 22:27:00 GMT

The Ramblers discuss the recent Chelsea transfer ban, Sol Campbell's World Cup chances are weighed up, Pete puts forward the notion to play David Beckham at full back, an African legend is inducted into the Dean Windass Hall of Fame and we find out why Diego Maradona was allegedly given a fake penis.

David Dunn, Richard Dunne, an Apology...

A full house partake in the rambling this week as gadabout JamesorJim returns from Edinburgh to a show in which a Premier League managers mega-ruck is mooted, Peter Andre finds himself in a position he really has no right to be in and The Dean Windass Hall of Fame gets a colourful new entrant. What fun.

Sharp darts, Spitting Masters. Spitting darts faster.

The Ramblefirm put down their pieces of skull-shattering masonry,
shake hands and play nice - all the while taking a leisurely stroll
through the garden of Association Soccercrocks. (That's 'football',
in layman's terms.) Lescott's finally gone to Man City, and Sol's gonna
be Notts County-ing his money up in the midlands fairly soon, but what
else is there on the football-ey horizon? Lots, that's what. Have a
listen and find out, yeah? podcast@thefootballramble.com as usual,
for all your BIG TALK.

Return of the Mack (to Leicester)

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:22:00 GMT

In the continued absence of JamesorJim, the three remaining amigos dance, holler and laugh their way through the week's footballing issues. Expect failed pop stars, car-jacking and yet more silly anagrams as the RambleTRAIN hits top speed. That's a metaphor, this show should not sound noticeably faster. I repeat, everything should sound normal.

Ooooh, Blue Crush

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 10:44:00 GMT

The Ramblers discuss the start of the new Championship season, the youngest manager in international history is revealed, find out how Zak Morris and Screech interrupted Italy v Spain during the 1994 World Cup and Chile's favourite son is inducted into the Dean Windass Hall of Fame

Here's to You, Bobby Five-Oh

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:31:00 GMT

In an emotional week in football, the RambleCHAPS get stuck right in to the burning issues, while finding time to pay a lengthy tribute to a true legend. Man City shamelessly taunt Sir Alex, Adrian Mutu has the week from hell, and we also find out that six million pounds is far too much money for a second-hand bike. RambleFORCE, ENGAGE!

Oh Yes Indeed It's Fun Time

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 13:22:00 GMT

The rampleploppers take a shufty at recent footballing developments in this crazy mixed-up world we called planet earth - topics covered include fly tipping, abject nepotism, and the latest 'Svenannigans' in the East Midlands. Plus, a particularly interesting Hall Of Famer this week. As, of course they all are - natch. Any comments, questions, or gnashing of teeth to podcast@thefootballramble.com - all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed, innit. See ya.

Putting the Doss in dossier

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 15:56:00 GMT

The ramblers cast a wry eye over the week's shenanigans - Real smash bottle upon bottle of bubbly against the good ship Cristiano, we find out where Franny Jeffers now plies his trade, and Gheorghe Popescu tells some tales on pretty much all of us. podcast@thefootballramble.com for maximum satisfaction.

This Wasn't in the Brochure

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:52:00 GMT

The RambleSWINES take a swing at the goings on at the 2009 Con-Fed (not to be confused with ex-Britney Spears consort K-Fed, of course). They also cast a loving eye over your RambleMAILS, and yet again, we're forced to hand over mad props to the man wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a man that is Stephen Ireland. And who's gonna stop uis? You? The fella all the way over there? We'd love to see you try!

Don't Be Shy with the Apple Sauce

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:07:00 GMT

The Ramblers discuss the role of the player liason at football clubs, James and Marcus talk of their adventures in Rome, Pete brings to the table what he used to cut up for Leicester City and find out why Stan Kroenke, the majority shareholder of Arsenal, has irked Vince Mcmahon

Bat Country

Fri, 29 May 2009 17:49:00 GMT

This time around the boys fend off bats in the studio, discuss the relegation of Producer Pete's beloved Toon, FA Cup songs, Marcus and Jim's exciting trip to Rome and some utter nonsense spouted by dogging's Stan Collymore. On top of that they also talk about some mental stuff that's happened in South America, but that goes without saying by now.

Not really a podcast for the Blue half of Fulham. A Flippin' disgrace.

Sat, 16 May 2009 09:17:00 GMT

The boys finely dissect the Chelsea performance with the business end of a meat cleaver, Ronaldo finds a new form of transport that won't come off worse when he drives it into a wall, and we discuss Alan Shearer's cack-eating grin. A flippin' disgrace.

It's a Moral Detritus

Sat, 02 May 2009 11:01:00 GMT

Oh, hello Ramblers! The awesome foursome (ahem) are back! This time, there’s relationship building with Barcelona, Michael Owen finds a goalkeeper he can actually score against, and Pete reveals a strange fixation with a certain footballer’s feet.

Success! You should now be able to recieve new Rambles.

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:27:00 GMT

Yeah! Just a quick note to say that you should be fine to recieve further ramblecasts from us from now on. Any problems - if you haven't received a new podcast by Sunday 3rd May, just go to www.thefootballramble.com to resubscribe. Cheers! Pete x
