Lions Watch: Fullbacks jostling for position and too late for any bolters?
15 April - 37 minsMarcus and Luke pack up the truck and head out onto the plains for another edition of Lions Watch, the show where we continually talk up England outsiders’ chances without any consideration for who we’d have to drop from the squad. And plenty more besides.
We kick off today with a chat about England’s defenders as Nico O’Reilly’s impressive form pushes him closer to many people’s starting XIs - but does he make ours? Plus: getting the attacking blend right, some of the other World Cup groups and whether the likes of Max Dowman and Rio Ngumoha can grab a last-minute spot on the plane.

A mischief of rats
On today’s show, Marcus, Luke and Vish tackle the big question: is Bournemouth overrated? It’s possible that Andoni Iraola thinks so. As well as that hot debate, we’ve also got the small matter of some Champions League quarter-finals to enjoy. And DO NOT forget about Portsmouth who got a huge win in the Championship last night.

Marcus, Jim & David are here to pick apart the reasons behind the inflexibility of modern managers. Plus, would we back a relegation play-off where the league's worst go head-to-head in a death match? And who should win the Premier League's manager of the season award? Get your Ramble merch HERE.
