The Football Ramble's Guide To... Alan Pardew
12 October 2022 - 36 minsSome men graft their way to the top thanks to the fruits of their relentless labour, a graceful demeanour and a healthy slice of acknowledged luck. And other men are Alan Pardew - because when you're the king, you can do anything.
Spellso, Mooresey, Jimbo and Dono settle in for a thorough assessment of the perennial FA Cup bridesmaid, as we try to separate the art from the artist. How does Pete feel about his one decent season at Newcastle? Should he have managed England? Can he headbutt?

Ramble Reacts: Arsenal’s European quest ends in Paris
Marcus and Luke bid farewell to Arsenal’s Champions League challenge after a game that summed up their entire season: impressive and eye-catching in places, but missing that final... oomph. Speaking of oomph, the lads praise a deadly PSG performance and wonder if they’ll finally reach the top of their mountain, 13 years after they begun the climb.

It doesn’t get better than that
My giddy aunt, that was quite the spectacle last night. A thirteen-goal thriller across the two legs?! That’s what football do to ya. Marcus, Luke, Andy & Vish are here to ponder on what might be the greatest two-legged game in football history. Plus, Luke explains why it's okay for Trent Alexander-Arnold to want a move to a bigger rat ball, Andy offers a 90s reference that even catches Marcus out, and we look ahead to Arsenal’s date with destiny.

Ramble Reacts: Nottingham Forest stop the rot against Crystal Palace
Pete stops burning his Trent Alexander-Arnold shirt long enough to join Andy and recap a weird stalemate between Nottingham Forest’s mildly stoppable force and Crystal Palace largely movable object. They do find time to enjoy more sparkling Eberechi Eze form - even after he was seen moonlighting as a chess grandmaster over the weekend - and wonder where both he and Morgan Gibbs-White could end up this summer. In typical fashion for two talented English midfielders, it looks like one will need to stay while the other goes. Our tour starts THIS WEEK!

Return of Damac
Marcus, Luke and Pete jump into the studio after Arsenal’s latest wobble, which could condemn them to third place in what's been a two-horse Premier League title race. Never mind, PSG this week lads! Elsewhere, Man United do another lol and can we attribute Cole Palmer’s great performance to Chelsea’s new relationship with a Dubai-based property developer? Their press release certainly says so. Plus, the Basildon Bond (Harry Kane) won his first trophy, the Championship played out a chaotic final day and Jamie Vardy kicked off his refereeing career in style. Bank Holiday Banter aplenty!

Mailbag: Where does Liverpool's title win rank?
Arne Slot and his merry men got the title over the line, but how does his (and his pal Jürgen Klopp’s) Liverpool rank among the Premier League title-winning sides of old? That’s the nice, uncontentious topic Marcus, Pete & Vish are discussing today. Gulp... Plus, after Jonás Gutiérrez was spotted busking in Newcastle city centre, who makes our garage band of rock-and-roll footballers? Our tour starts NEXT WEEK!

The Preview Show: Bask Country
Enjoy your chilled wine and nice food, but leave the football to us lads. The words of Vithushan Ehantharajah, who can - AT LAST - bask in his smugness this season after another impressive Man United performance in Europe. Marcus, Pete and Andy join Vish to hail Harry Maguire's transformation into prime Cafu. Elsewhere, Spurs win but Andy explains why the Bodø/Glimt upset is very much alive. Plus, Cole Palmer's heavy breathing blows his cover and Pete Donaldson promises to print all of you a Europa Conference League winners medal. If you come to Football Ramble: Time Tunnel, of course.
