The Ramble: Don’t let anyone dim your shine, João

Liverpool got three valuable points at West Ham without Mo Salah in the XI. Arne Slot made the big call, but what does it say about Salah's future in this hard-to-gel Liverpool side? And has he stayed a season too long? Marcus, Luke and David discuss on today's Mailbag! There's also important matters to attend to, such as Luke's impassioned defence of the history of Portsmouth, a potential X Factor judging panel of referees at the side of the pitch, and an update on Birmingham City's 12-chimney stadium, delivered by Arthur Shelby himself.

Stamford Bridge has been reduced to ashes after Chelsea and Arsenal played out a good old-fashioned barn burner in the Premier League. Marcus, Luke and David get the pleasure of re-living it on today's Ramble. Plus, Harry Wilson once again gets his magic wand out and the guys try to help Andy Carroll sell his house.

For all the tax-avoiding, non-dom citizens of Donaco out there – this one's for you.

Show some f***ing respect. Today, Marcus, Luke and Pete explain why they expected more from Swiss football fans after the lovely Donyell Malen was targeted with missiles last night. They are meant to be neutral after all… Elsewhere, Sean Dyche is starting to build a successful fort at Nottingham Forest and we’ve got a thigh rubber between Chelsea and Arsenal this weekend. Plus, Donny’s forced to once again relive the trauma of his Holloway Road Christmas lights disaster. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

Marcus, Jim and Pete dust themselves down after a proper European goal fest, as Liverpool continue to suffer their worst run of form since the mid-1950s. Probably wasn’t ideal that Virgil van Dijk was trying to referee the game from centre-back and PSV’s Ivan Perišić kept slurping from the Fountain of Football Youth. Elsewhere, Arsenal reach another level against Bayern, Spurs put in a better showing against PSG and Sheffield Wednesday are faced with the grimmest ownership choice imaginable: merge with Sheffield United… or Mike Ashley.
