Steve Bruce is back, baby! Today, Marcus, Jim and Pete celebrate his arrival at Blackpool by trying to decide if they would rather go for a drink with Bruce or Nathan Jones.

Elsewhere, Jim explains why things might not be as bad as we think at Man United and Cristiano Ronaldo tells everyone that he should still be starting for Portugal. Plus, Leicester have shithoused the Premier League. Jamie Vardy must be so proud.

Everyone wants to bring a wee mate with them on deadline day, right? This year, the end of the window actually threw up some fascinating storylines for some big names, including Jadon Sancho switching one frying pan for another, slightly less hot frying pan.

Marcus, Luke and Jim catch up with the best of the headlines. We discuss Raheem Sterling (and soon Harry Kane’s) move to Eng- I mean Arsenal. We also assess whether Sancho can reignite his career and whether Ivan Toney has killed his off once and for all after moving to Saudi Arabia. Plus - shockingly - someone actually, willingly signed Neal Maupay. Who knew?

Everything looked so good for Everton but like all good horror films, it all went wrong in the end. Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete show a degree of sympathy towards Everton fans for the nightmare that they are currently living through.

Elsewhere, it was the same old story for Man United at home to Liverpool - at least Erik ten Hag won the FA Cup, though. Plus, there are mentions for Richard Keys, Hulk Hogan and the Motherwell Fan TV commentator. Welcome to Monday’s Football Ramble.

With the transfer window shut Marcus, Jim and Andy dream up some transfers from football history they wish they could’ve forced through. Jim’s packing Carlos Tevez off to distant lands and guess where Andy’s sending Gabriel Batistuta and Ronaldo…

We also try to decide what’s the toughest job in football - whether that’s managing this current iteration of Manchester United, the Brazilian national team or a relegation-threatened side further down the leagues. Plus, we reinvent Sunday League for the masses and we compare football clubs to pop acts from down the years.

Today, Pete and Andy have a Freaky Friday body swap, which means Pete tells Marcus and Jim about some Turkish transfer news and Andy tells us about a world-champion hot dog eater that has been banned from next year’s competition. Incredible.

Elsewhere, we make the case for Ant and Dec to host the Champions League draw and Marcus gets excited about Lee Carsley’s first England squad. Plus, Andy explains why Federico Chiesa could be a good signing for Liverpool. Mo Salah’s replacement?

What a time to be alive, it’s the Carabao Cup second round! Like all of last night’s fixtures, Marcus, Jim and Luke start today’s show by continuing to pay tribute to the great Sven-Göran Eriksson.

Elsewhere, Luke and Jim explain why Manuel Ugarte could be a great signing, not just for Man United but also the Ramble. Plus, a local council leader in Wolverhampton has responded to Noni Madueke and we learn that Andros Townsend currently is being held hostage in Turkey. At least the weather is nice, we suppose.

We kick off today’s raving Ramble with the most important question to emerge from the opening rounds of the Premier League: is Lars Sivertsen’s Dad a better golfer than Kim Jong Un?

We do find time to round up the rest of the weekend’s action, as the league’s newcomers are already struggling and Man City continue to meet their scarcely believable standards. Plus, Marcus delivers his verdict on Oasis’ reunion and we spot a wild Wayne Rooney having the strangest of all the solo pints…

FYI, we recorded this episode before news broke of the sad passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson - so we jumped back in the studio to say a few words about one of our favourite football men. And if you want to listen to our interview we recorded with Sven back in 2020, click here.
