A dirty rip of one of Will Ferrell's lesser-known films has found its way into Pete's grubby hands, meaning Luke and Jim have no choice but to dissect this very average (but also quite fun) football flick. It's Ferrell deep into his Anchorman era, surely it's a tap-in, right? Right?! We follow an anxious father who takes over his son's football team to prove himself to his competitive dad. Expect coffee to be employed as a narrative technique, some quite blatant Italian stereotypes, phantom commentators, and one genuinely standout performance (which Luke is overly complimentary of).

Next up on our Summer Series line-up: BBC 5 Live and Football Daily broadcaster, Rick Edwards! Just in time, incidentally, as he will soon pass the 5 Live Breakfast baton on to Gianni Infantino. Rick’s in with Pete, Luke and Vish to assess the latest FIFA developments, as Gianni scrambles around for support while owing literally tens of millions of dollars to various federations and American cities. Plus, Mauricio Pochettino stays for one last (line) dance, some intriguing transfers bubble away and Hervé Renard’s BACK BABY. Get your Football Ramble x Admiral kit here.

In keeping with the ongoing transfer window shenanigans, we’re unveiling another signing as part of our Ramble Summer Series: Jamie Carragher’s on the pod! Admittedly it’s a one-day loan from some other show you’ve probably never heard of, but lovely to have Jamie all the same. He joins Luke and Jim to look ahead to an intriguing Premier League season featuring a boatload of new managers, a few OAPs at Chelsea and some tentative worries about Andoni Iraola’s Liverpool. We also get to the bottom of those rumours about Jamie having an Everton tattoo and the time Arsène Wenger tried to coax him into publicly supporting FIFA!

It appears that Gianni Infantino’s own hubris has been the weakness in FIFA’s Death Star. After a quite ridiculous week of events, FIFA’s plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup has self-destructed in their own faces and big Gianni’s now fighting for his future. Pete, Luke & Jim are here to throw more fuel on that fire. Plus, Chelsea are given a mere flick on the wrist for their cheating, an update on Pete quitting energy drinks, and a cashier gets a run out against Bayern Munich.
