The Preview Show: No Palace, no party
16 May 2025 - 58 minsCan Crystal Palace cap off their impressive season with a historic cup win? Marcus, Luke, Andy and Pete wonder if the stars may just be aligning for Glasner’s Gang. Plus, can Pep Guardiola resist the urge to deploy some mad cup final tactics and play Kevin de Bruyne at left-back? Or will the lawyers pitch up on the Wembley touchline and deliver the verdict on those 115 charges two minutes before kick-off?
There are some Premier League games worth a glance, too - Everton will play their final men’s game at the iconic Goodison Park and Chelsea will hope to cash in their Man United voucher tonight. Oh, and we try to help John Carver get above a serial killer in the Google rankings after an imp...
A goal… but in what minute, Pete Donaldson?
Hello, Ramblers. Just to let you know, Mr Donaldson is here in place of Mr Speller today. Please be nice to him because he has forgotten his glasses. Pete's joined by Luke and Vish to look back on another pivotal night in the Premier League. Is Arsenal's time-wasting really an issue, or are they just better than everyone else at it? Plus, Newcastle win the Donaldson and Ehantharajah derby thanks to William Osula and Aaron Ramsdale. Pete's falling apart with joy.

Give us a howl
Young Robby Edwards and his pack of wolves are back in the hunt! Teeth still red after a successful mauling of Aston Villa, they've only gone and taken a big old bite out of Liverpool too. So come on, are they on the verge? Luke tells Marcus and Jim why they might have a fighting chance. Plus, Jordan Henderson gets in a scrap, Daniel Farke compares himself to a butterfly, and old Warny is back in the big time.

Mailbag: How should we judge new signings?
With high-profile transfers being increasingly scrutinised by the football media machine, we wonder why it’s so difficult to properly assess new arrivals to the Premier League without allowing them time to bed in. I mean, remember Dennis Bergkamp’s first season at Arsenal?! Marcus, Vish and Jim get stuck into that. Plus: what should Aston Villa realistically expect from Unai Emery and this team? Who’s had the most fairytale-tinged ending to their career? And, after Neil Warnock parachutes in at Torquay, what other managerial comebacks would we like to see?

Daniel Farke? Scarper
When it comes to bears, if it's brown, lay down. If it's black, fight back. If it's white, goodnight. And if it's a Daniel Farke Care Bear? Marcus, Pete, Jim and Vish issue their advice on that, try to stamp sexy shoulders out of the game, crown Liverpool Sporting de Club Set Piece, and launch Pete's brand new TV show in Moldova. There's also an unwelcome visit from the Spirit of the Game at Burnley, who continues to haunt us, and Vish makes the case for Jordan Pickford's save being the best in Premier League history.

Jack's Encyclopaedia: Goal involvement kings, Thomas Frank's rare wins, and City's European darlings
After a meeting of the Ramble intercontinental senate, it's been decreed that the Ehantharajah Empire has simply been too powerful in the My Biddy Aunt arena of late, so a game of Jack's Encyclopaedia is the task this week. The belt is up for grabs with Marcus taking on Vish. Jim's on the whistle for this one. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

The Preview Show: Leave the rat alone
It's the weekend everybody! And we've got a chocker Fri, Sat and Sun full of football goodness. Arsenal host Chelsea in the big one on Sunday. As both sides prepare for it, John Terry asks once again: "Why am I not the Chelsea manager?" There are probably a few reasons for that, JT. Marcus, Jim and Vish preview that. Plus, Ryan Yates attempts to calm his ravenous sausage dog, André Onana eyes a return to Manchester United, and we all gather to celebrate a decade of Gianni Infantino at FIFA. Ten more years!
