Jack's Encyclopaedia: Manchester derby XI's, Championship managers, and Premier League loyalists

Young Robby Edwards and his pack of wolves are back in the hunt! Teeth still red after a successful mauling of Aston Villa, they've only gone and taken a big old bite out of Liverpool too. So come on, are they on the verge? Luke tells Marcus and Jim why they might have a fighting chance. Plus, Jordan Henderson gets in a scrap, Daniel Farke compares himself to a butterfly, and old Warny is back in the big time.

With high-profile transfers being increasingly scrutinised by the football media machine, we wonder why it’s so difficult to properly assess new arrivals to the Premier League without allowing them time to bed in. I mean, remember Dennis Bergkamp’s first season at Arsenal?! Marcus, Vish and Jim get stuck into that. Plus: what should Aston Villa realistically expect from Unai Emery and this team? Who’s had the most fairytale-tinged ending to their career? And, after Neil Warnock parachutes in at Torquay, what other managerial comebacks would we like to see?

When it comes to bears, if it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back. If it's white, goodnight. And if it's a Daniel Farke Care Bear?  Marcus, Pete, Jim and Vish issue their advice on that, try to stamp sexy shoulders out of the game, crown Liverpool Sporting de Club Set Piece, and launch Pete's brand new TV show in Moldova. There's also an unwelcome visit from the Spirit of the Game at Burnley, who continues to haunt us, and Vish makes the case for Jordan Pickford's save being the best in Premier League history. Let him cook. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

After a meeting of the Ramble intercontinental senate, it's been decreed that the Ehantharajah Empire has simply been too powerful in the My Biddy Aunt arena of late, so a game of Jack's Encyclopaedia is the task this week. The belt is up for grabs with Marcus taking on Vish. Jim's on the whistle for this one. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

It's the weekend everybody! And we've got a chocker Fri, Sat and Sun full of football goodness. Arsenal host Chelsea in the big one on Sunday. As both sides prepare for it, John Terry asks once again: "Why am I not the Chelsea manager?" There are probably a few reasons for that, JT. Marcus, Jim and Vish preview that. Plus, Ryan Yates attempts to calm his ravenous sausage dog, André Onana eyes a return to Manchester United, and we all gather to celebrate a decade of Gianni Infantino at FIFA. Ten more years!
