Ramble Reacts: Palace hold on and Roy bows out
20 February 2024 - 33 minsFor perhaps the final time, Roy Hodgson leaves the managerial arena. And what more fitting tribute to his career than being mentioned in the same breath as Steve Bruce hustling for the South Korea job, eh?
Pete and Andy react to a night at Goodison Park that was somehow both open and cagey as Everton and Crystal Palace split the points! Elsewhere, Andy reveals why Oliver Glasner could get Palace challenging for Europe in the long-term and they discuss whether Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s finishing will ever catch up with his looks again. Plus, there really are more horrendous managerial links than you can shake a stick at – including Bayern Munich sniffing around for Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. That’s...

I only cheat myself
Antoine Semenyo is not only scoring goals but he’s currently top of the English football vibes table. However, Marcus, Luke and Pete are, controversially, in disagreement over whether his second goal should have been ruled out. Elsewhere, they are more agreeable on the fact that Michael Carrick could be a good appointment for Man United, which is of course bad news for the Ramble. Plus, Zlatan reveals he once s**t himself to be more High Performance… Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

Mailbag: What makes a big club?
Marcus, Luke and Jim round off a barnstorming FA Cup weekend by reminding everyone what the magic of the cup is really about: not getting slapped 10-1 or beating the holders, but the friends we made along the way. In more spiky corners of the pod, we try to work out the traits needed to be classified a ‘big club’ and run through some of our biggest flops of the season. Plus, we flip the age old Ramble question on his head: who’s the Premier League manager you’d *least* want alongside you in a fight? Outrageous accusations ensue.

Before looking forward to that, Marcus, Luke and Jim have the small matter of Arsenal 0-0 Liverpool to dissect.
