Ramble Reacts: Nottingham Forest return to third!
21 April 2025 - 26 minsThe pressure was on for Nuno's men. They'd lost their last two games. They were down in seventh. Nuno himself (probably) had a crafty cig outside the stadium before kick-off. And yet they picked up a HUGE win at Spurs to return to third in the Premier League!
Marcus and Vish react to a big night in Nottingham Forest's unlikely hunt for Europe and Tottenham Hotspur's equally unlikely hunt for 17th place. The lads mark a special anniversary and there's also some love for Leeds and Burnley, who were officially promoted back to the Premier League today! Burnley also won a Serie A title and aroused Fabio Capello, but keep listening for more on that...

The East Midlands Earthquake
Arsenal may have taken some hits at home, but get them on a ferry across the Channel and they'll get the job done. A tough old night for the Gunners but Kai Havertz got the goal to give them the win. Maybe that drill with the pens actually worked? Marcus, Luke & Vish give their thoughts on a big win for Mikel Arteta's boys. Plus, victory for Bayern in Madrid, Vish gets his atlas out, and Luke throws yet more shade on the Select Car Leasing Stadium. Get your Ramble merch HERE.

Mailbag: Will a quadruple ever be won?
No team has ever won a quadruple, but it doesn't stop us getting excited about the possibility every season. This year, Arsenal were in the conversation before they were dumped out of both the FA Cup and the League Cup. Alas, the quadruple is out of reach for another season - but will it ever be done? Marcus, Jim & David reach a verdict on that, before picking our all-time favourite players to have dragged their careers back from the brink. We also entertain the idea of restricting how often teams can change managers in a season (sorry, Spurs fans) and, inspired by the Artemis II launch, decide which players we'd take to the moon.

Dutchmen in crisis
A weekend of football that had something for everyone, but especially – sunnies on, slippers off, and back to winning ways – Roy bloody Hodgson. Marcus, David and Jim discuss that and four FA Cup quarterfinals which all did lots for the Ramble. Jim explains the issue with Arsenal's mentality (and his position at the pub), while David argues that the Enzo Fernández situation shows just what Chelsea fans are dealing with under the current regime. Elsewhere, the disillusion deepens at Liverpool, with Rayan Cherki gleefully fanning the flames...
