0:02Is there a player in the Premier League called Igor Julio? I mean, good God. Good stuff, Kevin. Oh, fucking hell, Marcus. It's always bueno all over again. Marcus? Richarlison. Yeah! Dean Smith also says we're an encyclopedia of football. A what? An encyclopedia of football. I don't know what that means. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. It's Jack's Encyclopedia. I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Luke Moore. I'm the Decent of Hunter Raja. I'm Kate Donaldson.

0:49Welcome back to another round of Jack's Encyclopedia. The absolute propaganda of that intro. Is that you, Tom? Producer Tom? You make Marcus sound like an absolute conquering hero. Named all these Brazilian players. I won that game. I won that round. You did win the round. You're very good. You won the battle, but the war was mine. Fair enough. Well, let's have another war. Let's do it. You were just saying that off mic.

1:14For those wondering, the French and the Argentinians. Yeah. Well, we all had a pick. Vish, you've yet to pick yours. Yeah, pick yours. No, I'm in line with that, but let's pick our target and we can kill two birds with one stone if we just attack David Trezeguet. Yeah, true. He's not Argentinian. He's a Frenchman. That could be the trigger. He could be the Archduke France further. Who are they harbouring? If you don't know the rules of Jack's Encyclopedia that's not made it any clearer they are super simple I'll give you a category and then we'll go around each of you to see if you can give me a valid answer If you go too slow you'll be hearing Gary Neville's orgasm which will leave you seven seconds to reply Luke, as discussed you're the currently you're the lineal champion of both Jack's Encyclopedia and my biddy aunt What a man, what a man What a nation Premier League Hall of Famer Gary Level now by the way which is his full title give him his respect give him the respect he deserves hope he makes that noise when he accepts it well Marcus and Vish could be taking one of those belts from you I've left the My Buddy Ant one at home on the mantelpiece I'll have that on later on when we fish and chips as usual well you have it on the fish and chips round the waist imagine this like a cummerbund what camera am I that one I'm completely naked and I've just got the My Buddy Ant belt around me and fish and chip grease down my chest.

2:31With hot, hot, you're eating hot fried food. Party people, it's Friday night. It's not what it's all about. Yeah, that's a good point actually. Yeah, you have a nightmare. All right. But we will have nightmares though. Yeah. Vish, can I have a round from you if that's all right? I'm going to start with you. I'm not doing all of it, but I'll do all of it. Vish, every club and country Martin O 'Neill played for and or managed. Ooh. Semi-professional teams do count here. Every club and country Martin O 'Neill played for and or managed, semi-professional teams do count in this particular round. Bloody hell.

3:06Okay, Nottingham Forest. Nottingham Forest. Well done. No, not that. There we go. Are we going around this way? Yes. Okay. So, Luke, you're next. Aston Villa. Correct. Celtic. Got to be. Celtic. Leicester City. Nice. Good start, this. God, that was Leicester City. He made his mate. He actually... I was not going to say that because it's going to be a harder answer for you guys to get. You say that country as well, right? Yes. Republic of Ireland, yeah? Yeah, Republic of Ireland. Yeah, that's annoying because I'm out. I'm really struggling. Have a think. Come on, there's some obvious ones here.

3:44Martin O 'Neill. Who? It's Torres to give Chelsea a win in the Champions League. Famously. Yeah, he managed to. Ruin them with spending. Ruin them. Ruin them with spending. Yeah. That doesn't narrow it down Well done Marcus You pulled out the five Yeah you did You know what You've got to give people credit when they get a guess when the Neville starts because it's much harder to get one So good on you Marcus Yeah well played Well played By the look of your furrowed brow though you're struggling for another one

4:18Northern Ireland Correct Yeah played Yeah yeah Very obvious one So he made his name at Wickham Wanderers he's a legend I had that in the head he did he's there number 16 very well played right struggling here

4:40Lingfield Lingfield yeah nice it's a nice punt but he's not there I'll see why you did that yeah I would have yeah you would have gone Linfield sorry we would have accepted that Lingfield is the race course thank you for accepting my wrong answer thank you We'll give you that one You guys played so well Maze now Charis Lobby Merely academics You're out Marcus I'm blank but I'm going to go I think there's something there Bohemians So what's the situation You have to get one And then I'll be back in I don't know if this is controversial You're asking Luke to throw this Marcus I'm not asking him to I'm just saying if he wants to I know which one should I go for let's have a Gary Neville yeah I think he played for Man City he did well done Luke the round goes to Luke quite controversially I believe he was at Notts County for a bit as well he was at Notts County yeah bloody hell that's why he's the champ you fancied another crack at that one didn't you Marcus I was going to name another Northern Irish side oh because if I got one wrong you'd have been back in yeah what was your Northern Irish side I was going to go for Cliftonville oh he didn't play for Cliftonville no or I was going to go Go on Who was Yeah yeah Who was You could have gone for Chesterfield Oh yeah A team called Distillery Which is great Class Your beloved Fulham Marcus Grantham Town Shepshed Charterhouse Norwich City And that's your lot I had Distillery Written down You have Distillery Did you actually Yeah What's Distillery Are they famed It's an Irish football club Right There is I have objected To you being Given the answers Beforehand so you can like Wikipedia and stuff sometimes the way my mind works to be fair that's very impressive that you had to sit there but if it's a weird name team it kind of sticks in your mind yeah that's true that's true yeah did you know that he played he was at Notts County no I didn't know did you know that he played for Man City no it's like Beardsley's Vancouver Whitecaps I have no need to know that team oh yeah but that's a particular one that sticks in your mind because it's so odd yeah who played for them Beardsley oh sorry yeah just in case he comes up next one Oh, right.

6:54Peter Beardsley. Where's this Premier League team of the year? Whitecaps legends. We've got one on the Suez Canal as well. Right. Lukey Mo, you're kicking off for this one. Every player in the starting 11 or the substitutes bench for Brendan Rodgers' first Premier League game in charge of Liverpool. Every player in the starting 11 or on the substitutes bench for Brendan Rodgers' first Premier League game in charge of Liverpool. It was a 3-0 loss at West Ham. No, West Brom. Yeah, Lukaku scored. I remember it. It was the opening day of the 2012-13 season. Okay. I remember Lukaku scoring. I'm pretty sure he did anyway.

7:35All right. Well, no prizes for guessing who I'm going to open with because I ain't got a clue on this. Perhaps Steven Gerrard play. Thank you. I thought that might be a safe bet. Let me tell you why I hate these ones. I really wanted that to be one of those ones. I hate these ones because you never know who was injured or suspended. Exactly. That was the one that was a Chelsea one from back in the day. I almost think, though, that that's like a... That fate can befall you at any point, I would say. It can, definitely. So I'm pretty sure he'd gone there by then. Jordan Henderson, come on. Got to be.

8:08There we go. Rub and running. Oh, dear. Step up to the plate.

8:15It's Torres to give Chelsea a place in the Champions League final. the headline has been written Carriger he's got to be he's got to be in there had he retired he was in there I was well surprised he was in there I wasn't sure because your mind does that to you I was surprised I think you guys were that long they were just the only two I definitely had Carriger played like 800 odd games or 700 odd games for Liverpool just by law of averages you've got to go for him so we've had Liverpool ones like this before one that's always served me pretty well has been Lucas Lever. He seemed to play a lot.

8:52Yeah, I think that's a good shout. Yeah, that's a nice shout. With cause. Yeah. With cause, Marcus. Martin Skirtle. Oh, that's very good. Lovely. That's really nice. Got to be in there. Yeah, well done. That's excellent. I had that written down as well. I don't know. What about this game? Yeah, it gets you. It does get you. Oh, it's horrible. It does get you. I think this might be wrong. Raul Moreles. Oh, lovely to hear him mention. It's a good mention. but not in this game, not in this round. Get out. See where he went for that. Get out. Bench as well though, so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to go for a player that I find synonymous with Liverpool at this time, and that is Joe Allen.

9:34All right, yeah. Joe, Joe, Joe Allen. Not the Chelsea and Hattipool one. Dan Lovren. Gotta be. That's it. Well done, mate. You're flying. You're flying out of the fucking round, mate. Flying out of the round, buddy. Is that me? That's another one, yeah. The other one I had was Joe Cole. Joe Cole was in there. See, I had Starage, Suarez, Coutinho. No, none of those. None of those? You could have had Andy Carroll. Oh, of course. It went through my mind. It went through my mind. Brad Jones, Charlie Adam, Daniel Aga. Aga! Aga. I thought Aga was too early. Fabio Verrini, Glenn Johnson. So Lovren came after My mistake Marcus Louis Suarez He was in there But it was after the round Was complete So yeah You should throw yourself in there Martin Kelly Pepe Reiner And Stuart Downing Reiner should have got I thought it might have been A different goalkeeper Yeah I knew it wasn't Mignolet And then I kept thinking About Mignolet Yeah exactly That was the same with me Hungry Yeah Okay I completely forgot About the existence of Mignolet That served you very well I didn't get Reiner on Did I say Shelby?

10:45I think I did John's in there John's in there as well Vish we need something here mate The champ is just running riot here I think that second one Was by default really I think Marcus You're playing within yourself And I don't know what's happening with Vish Because Vish is good at this For perspective I've won a point by saying Steven Gerrard Lucas Laver and Joe Allen It's three players Yeah but you want to know Dayan Lovren went down very well With the contestants But not so much With the host I think I'd benefit from going first I think Dayan Lovren Got me the popular vote yeah I think you won the argument let me say that you won the argument I need to win just ask you questions Spelze let's win a battle come on let's win a battle Spelze every player to have scored three or more goals in the Premier League this season oh this is going to be a bloodbath bloodbath absolute bloodbath bloodbath three or more goals three or more goals in the Premier League this season yeah I'd like to start if I may with Erling Haaland Oh, the lowest of hanging fruit.

11:49This is tough, this. Krupy. Krupy. Mostly dumb. Eli Jr. Krupy. We're not interested in the first name, no? I've got fucking trouble for that with Marcus. Not doing a first name. Depends who's hosting. He's wrong with the bell. Who's stalling in? Not me. I think, despite the catastrophic nature of West Ham season, I think Gerard Byer might just squeak in there. I think he's got three. He has. Antoine Semenya he's in there genuinely fucking this is hard yeah I told you it's going to be a bloodbath it's really obvious but it's one of those ones that's obvious but difficult um

12:31Danny Welbeck that's good he's got to be in there he's got to be in there that guy that guy well done mate a couple of games in your castle um have I imagined this or I mean this seems to kind of always be the case at this point in the season Bruno Fernandes you would be incorrect Bruno Fernandes hasn't got three no shit Richarlison yes good one he's got to be in there he is Anthony Gordon ooh I don't know if he does does he ooh he's not being great to be honest oh he's done his best work in the Champions League, mate. So that's a point for Marcus. Point for Marcus. Well done, mate. The other ones I had, I wasn't sure, was Mo Salah and Victor Giochoresh.

13:20Mo Salah has. Victor Giochoresh has. Surely Brian Mbwemo has, right? Brian Mbwemo has. The Brentford forward, what's his name? Igor? Thiago. Yeah. Yeah, he is. He's in there. It's so funny. People are thinking, oh, come on, surely. Honestly, you're sat here and you're like, three or more. There's so many, you'll be on two. You're back in it, mate. Pusslefucker respect on Nick Fultemada, by the way. Oh, mate. Yeah, my mind went through Newcastle. Why have I gone for Gordon? Because Gordon's in the Champions League. He's been scoring. Well, you could have had his teammate Bruno Guimaraes. You could have had Brian Mbouin, as you said.

13:56Cody Gakpo scored three. Enzo Fernandez, Hugo Eketike. Eketike, fucking hell. You think Isaac Verts, no, no, no. You've got to move on. Eketike's an obvious one. A big miss. Asimil Asar. You could have had Ileman Daya. What, Mateta scored a hat-trick? oh yeah oh Jesus Jean-Philippe Mateta yeah it's easy when the whistle's gone it is Jadon Anthony Moises Cossado Mo Salah Mickey Van Der Ven Van Der Ven he scored two in one game didn't he I thought it was Wilson Isidore as well yeah alright back to Vish to start back to Vish to start you're backing it mate I needed that love that I think the competition needed that to be honest

14:39alright back to Vish Vish, the 20 players with the most Premier League appearances from the Republic of Ireland. Oh, man. Another Irish-related one. 20 players with the most Premier League appearances from the Republic of Ireland. Roy Keane. Gotta be. Yes. I tell you who's got an amazing amount of appearances as a career, and he was known for it, is Kevin Kilban. But that might be because he had Irish caps. He's in there. Show you Gibbon. He's in the top 20. Gotta be. Gibbon's gotta be in there. A billion caps. Yeah. Richard Dunn. Yeah. You bastard. I had him written down. Yep. Good round. I'll go for the other keen, Robbie Keane.

15:20He played a lot. He's got to be in there. Drawling in there. Yeah, that's really nice. John O'Shea. Ooh. It's the same. He must be in there. Bloody hell, Donaldson, when you do that. When you do that to a man like Marcus Fella. Yeah. Disgraceful. The world's getting a bit dry now. Damien Duff. Oh, you absolute slag. I didn't written down as well. Double Ds, baby. Is he in there? Yeah. Double Ds. D squared. D squared. Oh, God. You've taken two of mine, Vish. Yeah. You've taken Richard Dunne. You've taken Damien Dove. The well is very, very low at the moment. Yeah. This is a bit outside the box, but I'm just remembering that he did, he was a fixture of the Premier League for a pretty long time.

16:05And it's Marcus's friend, Lee Carsley. Oh, I like that. Right in the kisser. Seamus Coleman. Yeah, I just written it down. Brilliant one. Well played. Brilliant. It's a bit of a flyer. Stephen Carr? Oh, surely. Yeah. I thought so. Good one. Very good one. Good Newcastle players in here. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. We've done ten already then. So it's half of them. That's not bad. You know there's going to be some obvious ones in there. Yeah, I haven't got any of them.

16:43Johnny Evans You bugger He's an absolute buff He's Northern Irish Oh of course he is Yeah Of course he is Of course he is Thanks for taking that one for me That was like a proper Hail Mary Oh my goodness yeah Of course he is man Sorry Johnny that's pretty disrespectful to the people of Northern Ireland yeah so was the Hail Mary right

17:09Dennis Irwin Dennis Irwin is in there come on Dennis well done Spelzy tell you what if Vish wins this it gets really interesting Ian Hart oh chance oh oh I'm so sorry I'm so sorry do I need to get one you need to get one Marcus it's a chance it's a chance This is a big chance to go too old. It's a chance to watch the ladies dance. I've never been more nervous than I am now about keeping hold of this belt. Ah, come on. Who have we got? You need to never know. That's it. Outside the box. Doubt it. Clinton Morrison. I'm not confident. No. Too much football league stuff. Too much football league stuff, mate.

17:51Yeah. This is an obvious one. I just need to relax and enjoy this as much as I can because I'm out. public of Ireland

18:03between two Shane Lloyd oh that's excellent what a shout correct Marcus who have you got come on who's an obvious one I'm missing here not confident Steve Stormton oh that is excellent as well you played loads brilliant well played lovely Huntley. Hmm. Two great shouts. I feel like I'm stuck in between greatness here. Staunton used to play all the time. Six left.

18:40It's Torres to give Chelsea a place in the Champions League final. The headline has been written. Niall Quinn.

18:53Oh, I'm lucky, mate. I'm lucky. It's a good one A good full foul Of what Luke did earlier Rory DeLapp Well done Marcus Well done Marcus That is so good How many did we get? You got How many did I Four, five, six So yeah I mean you absolutely Nailed 14 of them That's really really good work Yeah You could have had Jeff Kenner Never would have got that No James McCarthy Oh It's a tricky one He's tucked in there And he also You get confused with James McArthur Exactly It's very difficult Do you know what? I'll tell you, who's the geezer who never wears the poppy? Oh, yeah. James McLean. McLean, is he in there?

19:32He's not in there. He's not? I'd have thought that would have gone in. I don't think he played enough. He certainly didn't have enough seasons, but I was going to say Kevin Doyle. Right. Yeah, fair. Who are the others? You could have had Glenn Whelan. Oh, yeah. Is he Coventry? No. Stoke City. Gary, which is... You're thinking of Noel Whelan. I think I'm thinking of Noel Whelan. Gary Kelly. Oh I had him written down Oh no That was a big one That's a stinker Kenny Cunningham And your friend and mine A solid footballer Andrew O 'Brien I think that's a good round No regrets A round that could have gone longer If Vish had pulled his head out of his ass In desperation I wrote down Paul McGrath And I thought I'm not going to say that unless I really have to because I know it's almost certainly wrong.

20:24I don't know why I crossed out Gary Kelly. You can't win, but you can get a bit of pride. It's two each now. Yeah. Two each. Oh, yeah. But also, I feel like the listeners will want me to win, so you get a title decider. You get like a sudden death. I think you could take it to an unprecedented draw, and then we all turn our heads and look at the producers. No, we've got a tiebreaker. There's always a tiebreaker. We've just been here for a while. Who's thought of this? Producer Thomas Nodden, there's a tiebreaker. Tiebreaker, man. All right, here we go. So who's first this time? Where were we? It's you, Luke.

20:51Oh, yes. yes on the other hand shit right strap yourselves in every Italian ever no every Italian to score five or more Premier League goals okay this is actually quite hard it is I need to take out an obvious one don't I Franco Zola he's got to be in there if he isn't and I'm... Yes. Yes. I'll have Gianluca Vialli. They're the first who I wrote down. Well done. I'll have Mario Balotelli. Very nice. You can have him. Okay. I am going to go for Graziano Pella. Oh, nicely done. Nice. Sounded, isn't it? I'll have Fabrizio Ravanelli. Very nice. They come together Vialli and Ravanelli, don't they? I'll have Paolo Di Canio you can I'm really scraped with the barrel here but I'm going to go for the other Sampton striker who did quite well from Italy Manolo Gabbiadini well done I'll have Benito Carbono oh you slurk who was signed on a free from Italy I think it was Nickassoff don't give any clues I was going to say he really shouldn't be he was a defender deciding round He was a defender.

22:21Oh, Jorginho. Oh, yeah, penalties. Penets. Nicely done. Pens. Oh, God. I'm risking making myself look at it. It's like an absolute clown there. Going way back. Sergio Tashini. Sergio Jorginho. Stefano Aranio. Oh. Aranio. Very well played. Yeah, well done. Roberto Di Matteo. Bastard. Yeah. Bastard. So soldier strong when you're struggling really hard. I know. It just goes bang. Yeah, but that just suddenly came to me. I was like, Oh, thank goodness for that. I was seriously struggling there. Bernardo Karate?

22:55No. No. No. He's gone. He's gone, but he's angry. Yeah. He's not happy with that. He didn't score five goals. I can see a producer clicking on the transfer marked list link. But we'll find out in the next round. Lukey? Yeah, I know it's me. I know it's you. We all know it's you. It's Torres to give Chelsea. Stephano Akaka. Yes! That's really impressive. That's a good one. It's a good one. It's not an obvious one. That's why it's a good one. I'm down to the bare bones here. Mate, I'm totally out. You help the game when you bring in a man like Akaka. So if you don't get one, then you've won. I've won.

23:36Okay. Come on. Pile of pressure. I need to remember to think of one rather than just glory and just watching him. I need to think because if he gets one, I'm fucked. It's an obvious one. I'm missing it. I don't even even got to five Federico Makeda I'm not sure he got to five Oh yes You lucky sod Don't tell me Federico Chiesa got five as well Let's have a look here No he didn't I wasn't confident

24:10Diamante for West Ham Did he get five? He did yes he did Is Tonali on five? Yes he is Andre Salenzi Salenzi the brush I forgot about Salenzi No Look at what you see He's the first Italian To play in the Premier League Yeah the Chiesa and Marcheda I was like I've got them I'm not confident Either got five But I had nothing But Tonali Yeah Blackburn had a strike Called Corrado Garabi Did he get five No So who got the five Let's hear I mean You talk about early Italian adopters Of the Premier League And by the way Bernardo Corrado He scored three Premier League goals Not five unfortunately Atelier Lombardo Oh yeah Oh fucking hell I've forgotten Angelo Ogbonna You could have had Fabio Berrini You could have had Francesco Baiano Mosey Keane How many did he get?

25:00Mosey Keane He's not on the list No you wouldn't have got five You know what I mean But loads of strikers Go through your head And I was just left With those ones And I'm thinking I know Chiesa got one This season Fittingly Gianluca Uncalfesta Gianluca Uncalfesta Got five He played for Pompey as well Massimo Macaroni Oh Is he Borough? Middlesbrough If he'd have popped to mind I would have said him Yeah Samuel E Dalla Bonna As well You played for Chelsea And that's it And that's it Well lads I take my hat off to you Because you I think I went for more obvious ones But fair play Well I mean Dalla Bonna played Was a midfielder for Chelsea I didn't play very much I'm well surprised He got five Bloody hell I remember Chelsea fans Used to shout Sam Dalla Bonna I mean Markada He got a very special one Yeah he did Was it against Aston Villa Or did he go to Villa After that Against Villa Yeah I think he was in Birmingham City but Luke Moore some would say it was you know the champ starting twice before me in the rounds would have helped him but you know whatever happens take it up with the organiser whatever happens we are going to have to steal the belt rather than win it fairly we can't have Vish win it because he's about to go to the ashes we have to bring him a ball walk against Vish and I'll be bringing back something from there and that's why Luke and I teamed up to make sure Vish didn't win the round yeah exactly fair play to you Luke your Mark O 'Neill round was very impressive yeah that was good you came through there and that's what the champ does and Karka was good as well the Luke Nation have earned their Nandos today I wasn't sure A if Akaku was even Italian or B if he'd scored all his goals in the championship so it was basically a guess when you said Jorginho I went oh I've got one and wrote down Jorginho Paulista I was like what am I doing yeah famously Spanish of course yes absolutely or Portuguese they double up well there we are thank you very much for listening to the Football Ramble part of the Acast Creator Network we'll be back on Monday to react to all the weekends football make sure you're following us on socials at Football Ramble and subscribe on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Yeah, no, I'm trying to form a kingdom. There was a massive upswing in support for Donaldson after that show he had a few weeks ago. Yeah. It feels like an end of term kind of project being involved. You did brilliant. I think you did brilliantly. And I, as I'm sure a lot of our listeners are looking forward to when you get back in the chair because perhaps you're the only man that can beat Luke Moore you've had a little sighter he's come to closest he's had a sighter I've drawn a bead Scott Parker almost finished me I can feel my back sweating the Donaldson destabiliser it was very unorthodox technically you won't find it in any textbook but it's very effective Luke Moore the nation get to pick the tune that we're all going to run off into the weekend because the gate is open yeah I was thinking about this and I thought I might go for Don't Stop the Party by Pitbull once again an excellent choice thank you very much estupendo excepcion well basically what we've stumbled upon is just the best song yeah there's no point changing it yes exactly so there we go ain't broke don't fix it a little day like today thriller maybe yeah maybe yeah but probably just go with pitbull yeah the pop star that jacko could have been jacko jacko's here play you out everybody come on
