Football Ramble

Despite notable improvements on and off the pitch, Mikel Arteta still hasn’t delivered the trophies Arsenal now expect - and it looks alarmingly like that trend could continue. So Marcus, Luke and David assess whether the Arsenal board should be looking for his replacement this summer if he doesn’t win a trophy.

Plus, we look back on some international defeats that proved vital to eventual success, celebrate this season’s promoted teams that are bucking the trend and shudder at the thought of Chelsea’s next manager. Plus, a Brazil-based listener brings us more vital information about Mogi Mirim!

It was a truly Super Sunday as we were treated to a Premier League classic between Man City and Arsenal. Just remember to give credit to everyone involved.

Marcus, Luke and David relive it on today’s show. Plus, we cautiously acknowledge the celebration police could have a point about Xavi Simons’ goal and we’ve got a HUGE announcement ahead of this summer’s World Cup.

The Ramble Intercontinental Senate lies in ruin after Jimbabwe destroyed both Donaco and Spelgium. All hope seems lost, but a ray of light has broken through. Is that... the Luke Nation?

Marcus is back on his feet, ready to referee a Biddy bout between these two Herculean beasts.

It's the one we've all been waiting for, ladies and gents. On a particularly superb Sunday, Manchester City host Arsenal right in the upper echelons of the Premier League. The unstoppable-looking force meets the moveable object, I suppose you could say.

Jim joins Marcus and Luke to continue his nail-biting. Meanwhile, Fiorentina's ABBA goal music prompts Luke to assemble the 'Hologram XI', and Jonjo Shelvey drags the Kingdom's name into the mud. Bugger off, Jonj. Never liked you anyway.

We learnt one thing last night and it’s that everyone should take a leaf out of Keggy’s book and commit to full chaos.

Marcus and Luke are here to reflect on a Champions League classic between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only game last night. We also re-live another tough watch at the Emirates, where Arsenal appear to be riding a roller coaster without any of the joy.
