It was a big night for young Jamaldeen Jimoh-Aloba in the Europa League last night. European debut and a goal to match. Lovely stuff. Unai Emery has said he's prioritising the Premier League. With that in mind, are Villa on the verge?

It's a full house at Ramble HQ as Luke, Pete, and Vish join Marcus to preview the weekend ahead. Spurs look to continue their great run of results against Manchester City (despite their abysmal league form), Jørgen Strand Larsen flees Wolves' sinking ship, and Adama Traoré gets the Tupcac on.

What a night for the Swiss model! Just as Anatoliy Trubin was firing in that header we couldn’t help but think: are you not entertained, Vish?

Today, Marcus, Jim and Luke gather to round up the closing moments of the Champions League group phase. We also wonder what’s next for Raheem Sterling and try to work out just how good, or bad, Spurs really are.

Antonio Conte “welcomes” his former club Chelsea, Pep Guardiola “welcomes” some former players to Manchester, our Spurs play against the German Spurs, Newcastle re-start their feud with PSG, Liverpool have to hold their nerve against Qarabag, and Arsenal… erm, yeah. And Arsenal.

Marcus, Luke and Jim try to have a reasoned discussion about Arne Slot’s reputation after a middling second season and the looming figure of Xabi Alonso - but we keep returning to Marcus’ undying love for gammon.

Plus, we long for the return of the purely vibes-based manager, wonder if it’s too late for Harry Wilson to join a bigger club and try to find some aesthetically delightful players who were actually bang average.

Weeks ago, Luke predicted that Arsenal will run out of steam. He was ridiculed, shamed, the pitchforks came out. But what if he was right all along?

Today, Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete dive headfirst into the possibility of Arsenal not winning the league again. Also, The Great Escape™ is showing at theatres in East London. Speaking of which, could Tottenham get dragged into a relegation scrap?

Join Marcus, Jim and Luke for another Amazon Music exclusive where, almost two years to the day since he announced his departure, we’re looking back on an iconic period for Liverpool Football Club, helmed by the Gegenpressing Guvnor himself, Jürgen Nobby Klopp.

From taking over a middling team at risk of being left behind by the Premier League’s monied modernity, to winning every single trophy possible and amassing unbelievable league results in the process, it’s fair to say that Klopp assembled one of the greatest Premier League teams we’ve ever seen. But it’s the way he carried himself, his relationship with the supporters and his emotional attachment to the city that will be remembered long after we all forget about that corner taken quickly…

Just as it looked like all hope was lost, the Ehantharajah Empire is here to rescue us! That's right, Vish is back and ready to rip the belt from the waist of the Luke Nation.

Vish experienced defeat in Australia, so will history repeat itself or will Luke be slain? The tax-free principality of Donaco is back on the buttons.

Things are finally starting to look good for Manchester United ahead of their big game against Arsenal this weekend. A convincing win against their city rivals last weekend sets them up nicely for a visit to the league leaders. So is Vish feeling confident? Well, what do you think?

He joins Luke and Pete to preview that game. Plus, Diego Costa questions Antonio Conte's sexual capacity, Eden Hazard launches a wine brand, and the police prepare for more equine assaults at Fratton Park.
