The FA Cup third round is typically Luke Moore’s favourite weekend of the year. It’s just a shame for him that Portsmouth have to play Arsenal, really.
Before looking forward to that, Marcus, Luke and Jim have the small matter of Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool to dissect. Elsewhere, Man City confirm their position as defenders of modern football and José Mourinho’s punishments reach new heights.
Calling all Gooners! 'The Thing About Arsenal' is the brand new Arsenal podcast that does things differently, featuring our very own Jim Campbell!
Think less hot takes and transfer rumours, more authentic conversation, healthy disagreement, unhealthy nostalgia, and lots and lots of entertainment from a group of Arsenal obsessives.
New shows are out every Monday, Tuesday and Friday, with new episodes also out immediately after...
Donny is in charge on today’s Ramble and he’s plotting some new surgery to extend his collarbones. He might also add in a few extra ribs while he's at it.
Pete’s cosmetic procedures aside, Luke and David join him to explain why there is no saving Tottenham under Thomas Frank. Plus, Leeds and Newcastle played out a barn burner that Keggy would be proud of.
Darren Fletcher, the new Manchester United interim manager, is the latest former player to suckle on the teat of Sir Alex Ferguson. There's nothing like tradition; they are Manchester United after all.
Today, Marcus, Pete and David honour that. Plus, Liam Rosenior solidifies his position as 'a proud BlueCo man' and things get so bad at West Ham that Marcus, sincerely, suggests bringing back Big Sam...

The Ruben Amorim era is officially over at Manchester United – what's next? Marcus, Luke and Jim shake their heads at the league's most chaotic club and pay respect to football's greatest magnet-user.
Elsewhere, there's some serious and not-so-serious nominations for ex-players returning to their clubs as managers, and should Arsène Wenger get a stand at the Emirates? At least a little bar?
We know what you’re thinking, 'the curse of the Ramble and all that', but it’s a new year and that means fresh beginnings. Ladies and gentlemen, RUBEN AMORIM HAS BEEN SACKED!
Listen to today’s Ramble to hear Marcus, Luke, Pete and Jim’s reaction to the news. Plus, Nancy and Nuno continue to struggle, Callum McFarlane excels and is the great escape on for Wolves?
Everyone bangs about new beginnings when the new year rolls around *cough* Jake Humphrey *cough*, but at Ramble HQ, we actually mean it. David Cartlidge is here making his long-awaited My Biddy Aunt debut!
Today, Cartlidgtenstein declares war on Jimbabwe, with Pete manning the buttons. Will it be a debut win, or will Jim's natural bloody charm swing it?
Enzo Maresca is set to embark on a new career as a novelist. Will his first book be a tragedy by any chance?
Today, Pete, who is still covered in Christmas Pâté, is joined by Jim and David to share their thoughts on Chelsea’s decision to part ways with Enzo Maresca. Plus, there is extremely devoted fans and political turmoil at AFCON. Would we wish for anything else?
Happy new year Ramblers! Whether you're nursing a hangover like Pete or nursing a sugar crash like Marcus, we've got the tonic for you today with some of our favourite moments from Ramble Uncut over the past 12 months.
On today's episode, José Mourinho seeks vengeance against Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Clint Hill may or may not take pills, and Carlos Quieroz cannot shake his appetite for Sir Alex Ferguson's milk. Come join us down...
In case you weren't aware, Arsenal won quite convincingly against Aston Villa on Tuesday night. On Monday, Luke suggested they were running out of steam. But fortunately, Marcus would never be petty enough to remind him about that.
For the final time in 2025, Marcus and Luke put the Premier League under the Ramble microscope! It turns out there's still time for PUGMOL to get one more sternly-worded letter, while Ruben Amorim get...
Look away now, West Ham fans - we’ve got to have a chat about how poor they’ve been this season, with the real threat of relegation looming over them. Rest assured that Marcus, Luke and Pete lay the lion’s share of the blame at the owners’ door after years of mismanagement.
Elsewhere in more positive corners of correspondence, we settle on this year’s best players - based solely on vibes - and round up some of our new year resol...
Marcus, Luke and Pete slide gently into the Christmas perineum, with a barn-burning round of Barclays representing the nuts and Speller’s game of England player charades probably signifying the bum.
Across that round of barn-burning we saw Villa’s burgeoning title charge as Arsenal continue to splutter, Ryan Cherki keep the vibes pumping at the Etihad and Ruben Amorim finally change his formation: truly, a Christmas miracl...
We're back with another sack full of clips highlighting the very best moments from the second half of 2025. We've got everything from the Lambton Worm to Manchester United's Grimsby woes, plus some tips Andrew Mountbatten Windsor can take from Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Plus of course, that fabled round of Jack's Encyclopaedia.

Fear not, the Ramble is here to fill the Premier League-shaped hole in your Boxing Day!
Across two parts, Marcus shares our very favourite moments of the year. From Ruben Amorim’s vengeance against the humble television, to Ian Rush’s vengeance against … well everyone, there's fun for all the family! Come join us.

Merry Christmas Ramblers! As you enjoy a glass of eggnog on this fine day, remember, it's your Christmas too. So move away from the turkey, step back from the mulled wine, and enjoy a little gift-wrapped prezzy from your old pals at the good ship Ramble. After all, it's either that or having another uncomfortable conversation with dodgy uncle Steve who you only see once a year.
Not even on Jesus' own day does Marcus Speller rest...
Marcus, Luke and Jim bring you good Ramblings on Christmas Eve! They discuss Arsenal's confidence and bank account-boosting win against Crystal Palace last night and look ahead to the best of the Christmas action, including ONE Boxing Day fixture. We are outraged.
We also salute the Rangers fan who chose to watch Elf in the stadium instead of their own team, and an even bigger salute for the fan in Portugal who travelled 900 mil...
It's probably fair to say at this point that Wolverhampton Wanderers are as dead as a dodo. Two points from 17 games and staring relegation right down the barrel. But will they end up being the worst Premier League side we have ever seen?
Marcus, David and Jim debate whether they can reach the lofty heights of Derby County's 11 Premier League points. Plus, should we embrace 'ultras' culture in England? In other news, the curse o...
Big Mama Premier League gifted us a barn-burning weekend right on the eve of Christmas. Gosh, we must have been good this year.
Today, Marcus, David and Jim revel in the enjoyable chaos of Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea and the less-enjoyable chaos of Tottenham 1-2 Liverpool. Plus, David goes to war against 'modern football'...

Thanks to the assistance of multiple NGOs, Luke has agreed to temporarily withdraw his troops from the My Biddy Aunt battleground. That allows the Kingdom of Spelgium to safely take on the Principality of Donaco under the watchful eye of Jimbabwe's international police force.
Is it finally time for Pete to get a win on the board, or can Marcus continue to cement his place as the game's second best player?
