Football Ramble

Man United pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in European football history last night. And you know who was the architect of it all? Harry Maguire. Marcus, Jim and Andy - who was at Old Trafford - try to figure out what on earth happened in those seven minutes of extra time and how. Plus, Spurs turn sensible, Jacob Murphy makes his claim for a spot in Marcus Speller’s heart, and Jurgen Klopp has been linked with Real Madrid?! I thought he wanted to relax… We’re going on tour!

Despite a William Saliba mid-game software update and a Bukayo Saka penalty malfunction… Arsenal have bloody done it! Luke and Vish react to a comfortable night for Mikel Arteta’s men at the Bernabeu and explain why this is already his greatest achievement as a manager to date. Plus, Declan Rice gets compared to a cricketer (and not by Vish, actually) and we wonder just how Real Madrid flopped so hard. For once, the house didn’t win… We’re going on tour!

Ohhh, Villa! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Vish recap one of the craziest European games you’ll ever see, as Unai Emery almost Europa League’d his way past PSG and into the Champions League semi-finals. But, the biggest shock of the night? Barcelona’s shorts. No wonder they lost comprehensively at Dortmund (still went through, tho). Elsewhere, FIFA’s latest Ponzi scheme crumbles at the slightest inspection and we check on Jim ahead of one of the biggest games in Arsenal’s history. We’re going on tour!

Marcus and Jim had barely fired up the telly before Antoine Semenyo’s cracking opener gave Bournemouth an early lead. And… that was it. There was still plenty to get stuck into though, with the Sky Sports microphones picking up plenty of fruity language from a few Fulham fans nearby and the officials making a truly baffling substitution error that forced Ryan Sessegnon off. We also assess the prospective fortunes of both sides as they push for Europe and wonder where their coaches might be managing next season. We’re going on tour!

Somewhere in Wolverhampton, Vitor Pereira is down at the Dog and Duck listening to Slipknot with a lovely pint of bitter on a coffin in front of him. A man after our own heart.

Man United vs Lyon wasn’t exactly high quality. So much so that Marcus, Andy and Jim wonder whether both sides can go out.

What a night for Arsenal! This morning, we found a wild Jim Campbell walking the streets of North London and Marcus, Luke and Pete brought him in for a celebratory Ramble.

Fulham beat Liverpool! Luke and Jim are here to steady Marcus’ aunt by reminding him they’ll probably lose to Bournemouth next week. Oh, the cruel mistress that is Premier League mid-table.

The Spurs fans booed Ange Postecoglou’s subs against Chelsea last night... But don’t worry, Ange was only encouraging the fans when, in their direction, he cupped his hands to his ears.
