Most of us get goal alerts when the football is on, but not Pete Donaldson. Today, he reveals to Marcus and Vish the very surprising notifications he was receiving during last night’s Champions League action. On the pitch, Arsenal and Spurs both got a decent win on the opening night of the Champos. Plus, we hear about Russell Martin’s latest team bonding attempts and José Mourinho could be back in business! Please fill out Stak's listener survey!

Plus, an update on the terrifying plover and a definitive power ranking of the Premier League's hardest managers. Please fill out Stak's listener survey!

Would Man United be better with Donny as CEO? It's got to the stage where Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete actually seriously consider that on today’s Ramble. Elsewhere, Marcus takes time to marvel at Erling Harland’s extraordinary way of running.

The MBA is back! Today's game covers the great young talents in years gone by, some of which have – well – not quite lived up to their billing and some of which have illegally parked in more disabled parking bays than they've scored goals. Marcus and Luke do battle with Pete as the quizmaster for five glorious rounds of brave bidding, shameless dark arts, and ridiculous memory. Join us in the ring!
