Marcus, Vish and Andy react to another Champions League Groundhog Day, as Man United stuttered to a halt and Atlético looked like their former dastardly selves. 

We also start assembling our “Streets Won’t Forget” XI, with Adel Taarabt and tactical wizard Steve Bruce both a shoe-in. Elsewhere, Benfica hope to shake off The Curse and Pep Talks brings us the results of our recent parenting advice. It’s not great…

Pep Guardiola went about his usual policy of making friends (Crystal Palace's Vicente Guaita) and alienating people (Kyle Walker) after City's draw with peppy Palace. Don't worry, he is so so happy.

Kate, Luke and Jim look over last night's result and Crystal Palace's impressive season as a whole. We also wonder about the future of football ownership as Eddie Howe and some Chelsea fans have a lot to answer for in the wake of football's money obsession.

Jules, Jim and Vish look back over a Barclays Sunday Funday as we hone in on a vintage season finale at both ends. 

Arsenal showed their defensive steeliness - even if Vish thinks it’s a bit lame - while Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the years at the other end. Elsewhere, Everton slip further into the mire, Brentford scrabble away and we search for the league’s most handsome squad.

Remember PSG, you can throw endless Qatari money at some of the world’s best players, take the reigns from Leonardo because he’s a fool and win the first leg - but the house always wins.

Join Marcus, Jim and Andy as we recap a Champions League night equal parts dazzling (Karim Benzema) and dull (Man City). We also get the cocktails out on Gareth’s Barge and discover that Eddie Howe’s yet to finalise his Geordie passport.

Job done for Liverpool after a stuttering last 16 display, as Virgil van Dijk suffered his first Anfield defeat since 2018's loss at the hands of Alan Pardew. He'll have that on the CV, no doubt.

Jules, Vish and Pete look back over goals galore in other matches across Europe, as Messrs Lewandowski and Mitrović battle to be crowned Europe's best striker. We also go searching for Chris Wilder's sausages and unveil the official Ramble Handsome Championships.

At least Frank Lampard was there to watch Harry Kane nearly break his record last night! Haha no but seriously, Everton are genuinely in real trouble.

Kate, Jim and Pete pick through the Evertonian wreckage after Spurs’ demolition job, wave on Nottingham Forest’s cup charge and look over FIFA’s latest underwhelming response to the war in Ukraine.

Manchester City mercilessly put Ralf Rangnick’s holiday camp to the sword, as Manchester United looked limp, bereft of ideas, and defensively shot. Or as Pep called it, ‘incredibly impressive’.

Marcus, Pete and Jim recap all of that, ask whether Arsenal should stay in red, and wonder if Phil Coutinho’s spiritual home really is the rainy midlands. Plus, penalty megamind Tim Krul is undone and there’s an overdue update from Britain’s oldest footballer! Dickie’s back!

Norwich will hope the spirit of Delia can guide them to victory against Brentford, while Leeds' new sheriff Jesse Marsch comes riding into town with a sack full o' vibes. We also look ahead to the Manchester derby, as Harry Maguire trips over those cracks in the dressing room and Cristiano Ronaldo remains a prat.

Jules, Andy and Vish react to the seismic news that Roman Abramovich looks to sell Chelsea after nineteen years. We discuss some myopic reactions from various circles and ask where the club goes from here.

We also pick through last night's FA Cup, as a Romain Perraud worldy helped sink West Ham and Norwich soaked up even more Liverpool punches. Plus, Roy Keane loves horoscopes!

Burnley's stuttering form was struck by a bolt from the blue last night. A shithousing pest of a bolt in the form of Jamie Vardy - Brendy's cavalry has arrived!

Marcus, Jim and Andy recap a host of last night's game, as Boro's cup strut continues and Jack Grealish reminded Pep he's still knocking about. We also offer our expertise to the Canadian Premier League and a bald ref headbutted a fan in Scotland. Obviously.

With FIFA and UEFA banning all Russian clubs and national teams, we wonder if this might prove a watershed moment for football. Or maybe they'll go back to being their sycophantic, self-absorbed selves. Maybe.

Kate, Vish and Pete pull on that thread and wonder what fußball extraordinaire Jesse Marsch can bring to Leeds United. In other contractual news, Gigi Buffon has extended his career *yet again* and former Bayern winger Mario Basler lost a bet and is now a manager. Standard.

Elsewhere, we bid farewell to Marcelo Bielsa and celebrate Christian Eriksen's return. We also discuss the vague, mealy-mouthed responses from various footballing organisations to the game's nefarious links with sports washing amidst Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Jules, Vish and Andy recap a whole host of midweek football as Liverpool smash Leeds to pieces and Antonio Conte eyes the door at Tottenham.

Biblical conditions threw up all kinds of curveballs this weekend, including a hatful of goals for Burnley and a crazy game at Elland Road. And at the eye of the storm? Geoff Shreeves' bum.

Kate, Jim and Pete revel in the Barclays aftermath as Man City slipped in the oil left by Charlie Kane's motorbike and Pete escaped from the West Ham home end after a 1-1 draw. Amidst the chaos, there was also time for more of the same from Everton and José Mourinho respectively.

Plenty of chat to stick into that slither of a gap between the Premier League and European midweeks, as Proper Championship Man Steve Bruce got his West Brom rescue off and running at The Hawthorns. Well, they drew an offensively poor game 0-0, but alas.

Marcus, Vish and Luke also set up camp in the pocket of Big Ralf in his fight against most of Man United’s playing squad, while Fizzer’s had his whispery say from across the pond. We also look ahead to Pep’s latest Champions League charge and the Kylian Mbappé Derby - tasty!
