Football Ramble

In a show of unity rarely seen in the north east, David and Pete have joined forces against that southern softie, Marcus Speller. The three of them are here to look back on a controversial win for Nottingham Forest in the Europa League.

Elsewhere, we wonder if the new Donaldson-Cartlidge alliance would have done a better job managing Burnley than Scott Parker. Plus, we hear from Steve Bruce about the time Sir Alex Ferguson brawled with the Turkish police.

It's not fair to compare Atletico 1-1 Arsenal to the beauty of PSG 5-4 Bayern Munich. Let's just say it was a more interesting game than we might have expected.

Marcus and Vish went live on YouTube straight after full-time to break down an evening full of controversy, sandwiches and bog roll. Jump in, the water's still warm.

Was that the greatest football match ever?

Marcus, Pete and Jim admire last night's Champions League masterpiece, a game that simply could not have been better. Actually, only if Vincent Kompany was in a panic room for his suspension.

We celebrate a proper feast of football, particularly Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who continues to play like a true football cult hero, but one who actually wins stuff. Elsewhere, there are somewhat reputable reports that Amanda Staveley is consorting with another consortium to take over Newcastle and José Mourinho is on the verge of a return to Real Madrid. Plus, The King of Football Gianni Infantino gets denied a motorcade in Vancouver.

After York City’s scarcely believable title win at the weekend, Marcus and Luke nail down the specific ingredients for the ultimate ending to a football match - and relive some all-time classics. Pompey deep cuts very much incoming.

Plus: the crystal clear definition of ‘world class’, unsung heroes from smaller teams around English football and is it ever possible to properly change which team you support? A listener is sick of this mob running his beloved Chelsea, so we’re here to help.

Against all odds, our brave professional footballers supplied another thrilling weekend of action for our enjoyment. Marcus, Luke and Vish gather to thank them personally on today’s Ramble.

We continue to worry for Tottenham’s Premier League future as their situation gets worse despite a 1-0 win over Wolves. Elsewhere, there was a surprising number of punches thrown across football this weekend, some brilliant FA Cup semi-final action (and some less so). Plus, York City reminded us again why we love the game.
