A new season, and more unanswered questions than ever! Will Harry Kane escape his safehouse and make it to Bayern Munich? Will Marcus go to see ANOTHER Bon Jovi gig? And will Pep Guardiola be successful in getting Nathan Redmond into a thong?

Marcus, Luke, Pete and Vish are here to start your Premier League season with a bang! Plus, Speller vs Moore has FINALLY been decided.

Julen Lopetegui’s stint at Wolves is officially over, but thankfully his return ticket to the continent is probably still valid. Today Marcus, Andy and Pete are here to discuss whether Gary O’Neil is the Gaviscon that Wolves now need.

Andy then tries to win the West Ham fans over by explaining that their new signing is “tough as old boots”, before we explain why Kevin de Bruyne is the Eeyore of the Premier League.

Pete and Luke give Vish a summer’s-worth of ribbing and then get down to (some) football chat. Plus, why Ed Sheeran’s Iron Maiden covers have ruined Chelsea’s season and we ask the crucial question: are you Carlton Palmer?

After Al-Hilal made a world-record transfer bid for Kylian Mbappé, Dotun is joined by Nicky Bandini and David Cartlidge to dissect what this means for Mbappé and the potential consequences for European football.

In an absolutely seismic pre-season friendly, Man United beat up Arsenal on the pitch - while Arsenal fans in the stands beat up each other. Ahh, soccer.

Kylian Mbappé’s deadline to extend his PSG contract is approaching. Today, Jonathan Johnson joins Dotun and Andy to explain why Harry Kane to PSG would never have made sense and Andy explains why Dušan Vlahović is a much better fit. It’s fair to say the PSG ultras don’t agree…

For our final Guide To… of the summer, we could only end on football’s headline act making hay in Hollywood. Nope, it’s not Lionel Messi moving to Inter Miami - it’s David Beckham’s move to LA Galaxy back in 2007!

From his box office debut - when he was properly injured - through to controversial loan moves back to Europe and eventual success, it remains one of world football’s most culturally significant transfers. But who did it actually benefit? The Galaxy? The League? Brand Becks?

Marcus, Luke and Jim are on hand to roll back the years - join us!

It was another HUGE weekend in the football calendar… It’s always great to see the Scottish League Cup start again. It was a shame Bonnyrigg Rose couldn’t get a result, though.

Lionel Messi did also sign for Inter Miami this weekend, so Marcus, Luke and Jim debate whether Messi winning MLS would be comparable to Maradona at Napoli. We also thank Ian Wright for the signing of Declan Rice and “my giddy aunt, here we go” Marcus has confirmed the signing of André Onana to Manchester United.

With Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal FINALLY confirmed, Luke goes back into the archives to bring you his Ramble Meets interview episode with the man himself back in 2019.

Rice gives a great insight into his personality, as he talks about being a professional footballer, how he interprets his own position, and some of the many sacrifices he made when he was growing up to not only succeed, but now become the most expensive English player of all time. So join Luke and Declan and enjoy!

The World Cup is still brilliant, but it’s got its problems. And yet the issues we face today aren’t as confusing and downright obscene as those faced by the thirteen teams who competed in the first ever World Cup.

There was - we stress - some truly outrageous moments. Teams and fans missed their steamboats there, brawls erupted on the pitches and in the stands, kings picked some of the teams and a defeat in the final incited a literal military coup.

Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete are your insightful tour guides!

Marcus, Luke, Pete and Jim take you back to one of most mental moments in football history, when one of the legends of the game - on the biggest stage of all - lost his head by using it.

Pete makes a pitch for his new invention to G Nev, Marcus makes his bid to oust Fabrizio Romano as Official Transfer Source, and we wonder whether it’s polite to announce your new club at a teammate’s wedding.

Dotun, Andy and Nicky Bandini discuss the question on everyone’s lips: could Bayern Munich and Harry Kane really be a match made in heaven? 

We break the move down for both sides and ponder on the future of the other striker being courted by clubs across Europe, Victor Osimhen. Is he a better option that Kane after all? Plus, has Max Allegri scared everyone off at Juventus and we explain which club is having the worst window so far for outgoings!

It all started with Roy and Ray’s trip down the Seine…

Seven years since it happened, we return to the most significant moment in the England men’s national team’s recent history: crippling humiliation at the hands of Iceland!

Marcus, Luke, Pete and Jim reflect on the Three Lions’ lowest ebb, just how much it paved the way for Gareth Southgate’s success, and how many Freddos Wayne Rooney could have bought for each member of the Iceland population on his salary per week.

Plus, Pete has an idea for a quite inappropriate new TV show and Jules gives you a song to send you into the weekend! Breaking news: it’s not Pit and Bull.

Dotun and Andy are joined by France football expert Jonathan Johnson for the most farewells we’ve ever had on OTC!

We discuss whether Zlatan Ibrahimović really leaves behind legendary status at any of his clubs, the reasons behind Karim Benzema’s sudden Real Madrid exit, and just how Lionel Messi will be remembered in Paris after what Jonathan argues has been two seasons of regression. At least Neymar (aka Barney Gumble) is still there though…

Plus, the small matter of this weekend’s Champions League finale!
