Football Ramble

Not everyone can be a headline grabber. While the usual suspects have lapped up the plaudits, some have been quietly brilliant in the background – so how about we put them in the Ramble sun? Marcus, Andy & Vish offer up their unsung heroes! Plus, could Chelsea emerge as the 'little horse' for the Premier League title next season? And if we could switch any result in football history, what would we pick? A bit of extra time in this year's Europa League final anyone? Nope, thought not... Please fill out Stak's listener survey!

Vindication – at last – for Marcus Speller and the Nations League! Spain and France had a nine-goal punch-up last night and what can only be described as an incredibly post-season number of shots (40). Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish discuss the game and turn their eyes to England's meeting with Andorra tomorrow, who – incidentally – are perhaps the only team in world football who might miss out on qualifying for next summer's 6-week long World Cup (more on that). We also hear about Gianni Infantino using himself as a number nine and narrow down the exact definition of Russell Martin's 'gothball'. Please fill out Stak's listener survey!

It was another defeat on home soil for Germany and their moustachioed detective Julian Nagelsmann. This time, in the biggest competition of all... Marcus and Luke jump on the mics after a thrilling (well, at least for one man) start to the finals of the Nations League which featured some inspired Bobby Martinez substitutions and what can only be described as a confusingly functional Cristiano Ronaldo up top.
