Mailbag: Are the dark arts getting darker?

As we greet this week of international football with a firm handshake, the Luke Nation has decreed that a game of My Biddy Aunt shall be played between Spelgium and Jimbabwe. The two competitors will desperately vie for the opportunity to play the elusive Ehantharajah Empire in the coming weeks. Luke's on the buttons for this soirée. Get your Ramble merch HERE.

It was a sickening night for the Kingdom and our friends in the Republic of Ireland. Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all saw their chances of World Cup glory slip away from them. Those brave boys will have to watch on from home, but not England and Scotland, they march on! Marcus, Luke & Jim are here to discuss all of last night's action, including the Bosnia manager setting us all a little puzzle. Plus, the England boys are back in action at Wembo tonight with a chance for those young cubs to grab a golden ticket from Thomas Tuchel. You might need to sell your second home for one. Just ask big Andy Milne. Get your Ramble merch HERE. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

Buckle up, everybody, it’s Ramble Uncut time. Marcus, Luke and Pete are your hosts and they’re here to discuss topics including but not limited to: unfortunate encounters with former MPs, a botched back operation with dire consequences and the story of an Italian football manager who dressed up as a priest for an excellent reason.

The run-in is hotting up and Man City have defeated Arsenal to win the first trophy of the season. We’re now perched on the edge of our seats, desperate to see how this will affect the ongoing title race – *Premier League cuts to break*. FFS. We might all – well, maybe not Spellz – be yearning for some more Premier League action. But don’t worry, because Marcus, Luke and Pete are here to review the current state of play heading into the season finale. Plus, we react to the news that Mo Salah, a true Premier League great, will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. Get your Ramble merch HERE.

After their damning loss to Forest, Marcus, Jim and Pete are forced to tackle this one straight from the off: would it be a good or bad thing for the Premier League if Spurs go down? Imagine that alternative Super League reality where they’d have the money-soaked pleasure of getting slapped by Real Madrid and Bayern Munich every week.  Plus, the changing nature of managerial pressure, our criteria for choosing overseas teams to support and re-recording 'We Didn’t Start the Fire' featuring some Ramble highlights - some of which would definitely make the song libellous and unbroadcastable.  Get your Ramble merch HERE.
