3:35Bruno Fernandes. I'm going to say four. Come on! Yes! I know Manchester United. Navarra. Come on! And what team did you miss out? Sporting. Peter, we literally went and saw him play for Sporting. And I went for Navarra.

3:55Jim Campbell: It's a wise game, it's quite difficult to explain, but you'll get it as soon as you start hearing it. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. It's my biddy aunt. I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Jim Campbell. And I'm the Dushanahantaraja.

4:24Oh, my giddy aunt, it's my biddy aunt. And it's Friday. The mood is sky high in the Football Rumble studio here. Last week, that guy, Big Vish, beat me 3-2. So this time I will play the role of the referee. The role of the referee is a sort of the Europa Conference League dropping down to, I feel. You're still in there. You're still in a good position, but you're ultimately not in the Champions League.

4:48Jim Campbell: I mean, that is quite different from dropping into the Europa League, isn't it? You don't have to referee if you drop out. That would be chaos. Jim, I'm going to look at you and say this because I already know what face he's going to make. It's the cup chair, isn't it? It is the cup chair. Yeah, very much. That's a bad start for you, Vish. Well, just sit there and watch us. Prove us wrong. Right. We'll judge you on your results. The referee is an integral part of any game, of course, and gets involved. So up yours. Now, if you don't know the rules, don't worry. They're very, very simple. Oh, they get involved in that chair as well.

5:21Go on. Each round, again, Vish, you're on thin ice. Each round, I'll give you the name of a footballer and you'll make a bid for how many of their clubs you can name. Your opponent can raise the bid or they can call you out to name them, but only clubs with competitive appearances count. And of course, if you fail to name the number of clubs you've bid for, your opponent will get the points. First of three points wins. Lovely old job. Are you feeling confident, Jimmy Campbell?

5:46Jim Campbell: No. Why not? I am 43, nearly said 34. That'd be nice, wouldn't it? My memory betrays me every single day. This game has got increasingly hard as I've got older. I think you look great for your age. Thanks. It does. Vish, are you feeling confident? I was, but you've already taken against me, I feel. And that is my fault. Well, it's actually totally my fault. Okay, you admit that you've got something wrong for a change. Now today's theme is Deadline Day Icons. Okay. Wow. Yeah, so Vish, you are the lineal champion, so you won't mind if I let Jim start. How many clubs has Harry Redknapp played for?

6:28That's a genuine question. I can certainly name one or two, but it's not. I'll give you a clue. This game doesn't feature Harry Redknapp. Round one. I think this guy personally was really really underrated six clubs Claude McAlealy okay that's right that's right the man who apparently some football fans chanted to the tune of dude looks like a lady by Aerosmith Claude McAlealy

6:57Jim Campbell: I'm not sure they ever actually did it was a friend of mine suggested that they should and I agree with him read that from the same piece I did okay so So presumably you've got one or two, Jim. But Claudio McAleely played, of course, in that defensive midfield role. The McAleely role. The McAleely role. But anyway, Jim, he played for six clubs. How many clubs could you name? I think I might play this in a quite sneaky, conservative way and push Vish. As is fitting for the run.

7:27Jim Campbell: Not a chance. There are three I definitely know. I imagine Vish will have those as well. I think once it gets to the fourth, that gets a little bit trickier, so I'm going to lodge my bit of three. Bit of three, and he's very much shown... He looks confident, though. He's shown his workings there, Vish, which may or may not be a good idea. But Vish, we have an opening bid of three clubs for Claude McAlealy from Jim Campbell. Can you name four, or would you like Jim to name his three? Because he thinks you've got three and that you don't have the goal to go for four. I mean, he's right to think that, yeah.

8:09I'm currently trying to trick myself into going for four. Well, I know you're going to. Get in this post room from the country. You know three, do you three?

8:15Jim Campbell: Okay, Jim, you've got a real chance here. Claude McAleary, you just need to name three clubs that you play for. I do. Of course, Chelsea. And they signed him from Real Madrid. And earlier in his career, he played for PSG. Well, later in his career. Oh, later in his career. I actually thought you were going to miss that. doesn't matter does it so he went from Chelsea to PSG it doesn't matter at all I had those three yeah so Real Madrid got him from Celta Vigo before that he played for Marseille and he started at Nantes right or Nantes I would not have got any of those no so Claude McAlealy there we are 1-0 to Jim of course he moved from Real Madrid to Chelsea in 2003 at 11.30pm on deadline day less than 12 hours before the deadline day for players to be eligible for the Champions League intercepting many balls along the way.

9:02He did indeed, yeah. And made a lot of Real Madrid players unhappy because, you know, they had the, what did Zidane say? They had the BMW or the Mercedes, but they sold the engine. You see, and they floundered for a little bit after that. They could have done their own running as well, but fine. Yes, indeed. Now, here's a man who, did he or did he not like running? I'll leave it up to you to decide. Round two, you go first, Vish. Six club, Mesut Ozil. Six. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh, six clubs again for a mercurial talent. I think we could call Mesut Ozil, of course. This is not giving anything away because we don't do international teams, but the man was a World Cup winner.

9:46For Germany. Who don't count? No. So then, Vish, Mesut Ozil, can I have your opening bid? I think I can do all six. Oh! Because he's an Arsenal player as well, I kind of have to, don't I? Yeah, kind of have to. Are you going all six? Yeah, why not? That is big. Jim, your hands are tied there. They are. Vidusha de Hantaraja, please, can you name all six of Mesut Ozil's clubs? Schalke, Berne Bremen, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Fenerbahce, Istanbul, Basakshahir.

10:23Jim Campbell: It's a wonderful point. Great. I wouldn't have got Basakshahir. So I thought about going five, but I thought if you get six you get six you're too low and that's how it works with maths and this game very impressive I can remember him playing in the Werder Bremen shirt the half and half yes white and green lovely shirt and the mullet in the Schalke shirt as well green and orange as well not green and white sorry yeah was it green and white I don't know maybe they have many shirts don't they modern football they have at least two home and away yes Arsenal broke their transfer record when they signed Ozil for 42.5 million pounds from Real Madrid in 2013 with the deal being announced half an hour before the window slammed shut Jim do you remember how you felt when Arsenal signed Mesut Ozil I was absolutely giddy because it came out of nowhere didn't it that was the thing there hadn't even been any links throughout the whole summer we need a defensive midfield we need a Claude McAlelly I'll tell you what we're going to do we're going to get one of these guys instead pretty much his first touch was an assist as well if I remember rightly which was obviously very shortly after the whole thing he did love an assist ok Jim round 3 as with all of these players there are guesses to be had here that's how the game is that's not an encouraging start why have you said that no I think eight clubs eight clubs your friend of mine Dimitar Berbatov Dimi Berbatov seems only fair but Dimitar Berbatov eight clubs another mercurial talent you would say following on from Mesut Ozil beautiful touch lovely skills lovely goal a great goal reel let's be absolutely clear about that again though with Mesut Ozil perhaps his style of play maybe some people are saying he didn't run as much and so on but certainly Glenn Hoddle and others of other fans of the beautiful game would say that is nonsense he put a shift in Jim Campbell I'm going to ask you to put a shift in first bid from you please okay

12:31I need a number Jim you do don't you I do need a number I hate to do this to you because I hate it when people do it to me I know that you do and I'm now even trying to fill for you

12:38Jim Campbell: it's dead air isn't it so come on you've been Paxman I have been Paxman alright so I'm going to have to put in a bit of again I'm going to stick to my tactic from the first one I'm going to go for four four clubs yeah I knew Vish could do more than that very confident five from Vish there very confident five this is the type of player that Vish eats for breakfast on my biddy aunt Jim are you going to up the ante and go for six I'm not you sure yeah I think Vish has got this all day long Vish name your five please Bayer Leverkusen Spurs Manchester United Fulham Monaco easy peasy didn't even need to say the other club that you were going to say.

13:25Oh, yeah, I mean, you're pointing at a scrubbed out Kerala blasters there, but that would have been correct.

13:30Jim Campbell: Yes. Pauk as well, but of course started in his native Bulgaria, CSKA Sofia. I was going to say Sofia, but I didn't have the CSKA and I thought... Is it Levski Sofia is the other one? See, that was what I was thinking. Yeah, but I wasn't sure if that was even correct. No, just CSKA Sofia in Bulgaria. That's all he played for. So if I'd said Sofia, with there being two teams... Jim, that would have tested my resolve as referee in what Vish said to me earlier. Indeed. Okay, so, you know, you might be willing to have a go next time. Berbatov was on his way to Manchester United on deadline day when his agent got a call from Man City to join them instead.

14:06I told my agent, fuck off, we're going to United. He said, probably not in that accent. But that was the... You remember that was the mad deadline day when the Man United fans were outside Old Trafford. It was very late, of course, and Berbatov turned up and there was a woman holding a baby. in the fans. Presumably not. Claiming it was his. No, I don't think that was the case. I would need to be absolutely sort of Billie Jean situation. Absolutely clear about that. I just think that they were so excited. It was like, just bring the kids. Can you sign my baby?

14:35Jim Campbell: Yeah. Can you cut the umbilical cord, please? I don't think it was that fresh.

17:37Okay, round four, Vish. I

17:45I'm looking at you both for this one because you're the players but I think I'm wanting to see good bids for this one 10 clubs for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang there are oh wow there are a fair few clubs here this would be this to me is the type of player that if I was on the receiving end if I was playing this and someone said Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang I'd be like oof furrowed bow out brow mind going in all sorts of different directions 10 clubs you say yeah uh but vish i want an opening bid for you if i may my good man this is why i'm sure there's a lot of people listening to this going oh bloody hell 10 clubs the man has played competitive matches for vish what can i hear from you What's your bid?

18:40Oh, five. You're going five. Okay. I think that's a good bid. I'm going to do six. Oh, there we go. Yeah. Six. And Jim, of course, you need this because Vish is two one up. I do. Vish, can we have seven?

18:56He's having a think, ladies and gentlemen. This is intense. Let me tell you, the anguish on Vish's face as he ponders. Does he go for the kill? The aggressive thinking. Or does he think I'm going to let Jim hopefully slip up? Burrowing his brain. Can you give me seven clubs? No, do six. Okay, Jim Campbell, for a chance to get back in the game, if you're not successful with this, then you lose. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. And there's a few swear words from Vish. But Jim Campbell, I'd like you to name six clubs that Pierre-Rambo Cabameau played for.

19:33Jim Campbell: So you may remember he played for Arsenal. I do remember that. He also played for Chelsea. he played for Barcelona Marseille Borussia Dortmund and I believe he was at Saint-Etienne in France well played sir oh wow well played fuck I had oh god AC Milan as well oh of course or did he not play that was the pitfall oh yes that was the pitfall never played a competitive game I would have fucked it up yeah yeah so that may make you sleep a little bit easier tonight I think his dad was also a coach or a scout at Milan as well so Milan that was a little clue I gave you at the start Another couple of French clubs as well.

20:08Competitive games. So Dijon was where he started, where they have the mustard. Lille, Monaco. Lille. And finished with Al Cadzia as well. That's where he finished.

20:20Jim Campbell: Yeah, I knew he'd gone out to that part of the world, but I couldn't remember what the team was. Oh, it's a pitfall. It really is. Al. Can I have Al? Al. No, you can't. He very much played for a side that wasn't them. Aubameyang has been transferred three times on three different deadline days. Dortmund to Arsenal 2018. Arsenal to Barcelona. February. That window extended to 2022. Barcelona to Chelsea September 2022. Now, gentlemen, we go to the last frame and the last black. And this one... Is that a cricket thing? Snooker, you knob. Round five. It's a good referee, isn't it? I am so glad I'm refereeing this.

21:05Oh no Lads I'm sorry that the production staff have done this to you Jim you're first 10 clubs Peter Oddenwingi

21:16Jim Campbell: You absolute dicks Absolute Oh no It's an absolute flipping I don't know what Peter Oddenwingi 10 clubs Him of the driving up and down the M40. God, I mean... I'm so sorry. This is guest heavy. Yeah, exactly. It's the last class on a Friday. It really is. You've just been given a brand new assignment to do and lots of homework. I'm going to... I'm going to go for three. Three. But I am not confident with that. I mean, I thought... I think three's probably the sweet spot would be my guess. I'll do four. Oh! Four! I went all Graham Norton there. Oh! Jim. Nope. Yeah. I didn't think so. Vish, if you get four clubs that Peter Odomwing is played for, I think we can all agree that you've deserved your corn and your victory in this game.

22:15Vatusha Andaraja, four clubs Peter Odomwing can play for. Take it away. Local boat in Moscow. It's a good start. It's a good start. West Brom. Lille. Well played.

22:34I'm pretty sure he played for Bristol City. It's outrageous. It's very well played. Well done. I mean, there's two clubs there, one in particular, that I can't believe you mentioned yet. You've written down Cardiff City. That would have been correct. Stoke City.

22:53Jim Campbell: Yes, I had West Brom and Stoke, and I guessed that Eintracht Frankfurt. Eintracht Frankfurt would have been an incorrect answer. If you'd have gone for Bendel Insurance, you'd have been correct. I very nearly went for QPR, which would have been the silliest kind of... I totally get it. Well, I mean, it's the driving up to the ground, isn't it? Of course, you weren't in 2013. Odomuenge drove to Loftus Road, expecting a move to QPR from West Brom, but the deal was never on. He showed up in the car park before, being turned away and quickly driving back up the M40, tail between his legs. So yes, you could have had La Vie, as I say, Cardiff City, Stoke City, Rotherham United and Madura United.

23:29Bristol City was a lone move. I'm very impressed with that. I'm impressed you got Lille as well. He's been there for a few years. Locomotive Moscow, I remembered that one. West Brom and Stoke were the other two. I think, you know, I totally get why you played it conservatively. Yeah, so I knew about the Bristol City one because I have, Froney supports Bristol City, who got very excited about it. And then I couldn't remember where he went from. And I just completely blanked on Stoke City. Yeah, that's the thing, Vish. You can really pull them out the bag. So football manager got me Lille and Locomotive Moscow.

23:58Right. Genuinely. An old football manager. well Odden Winger is now a professional golfer having graduated this year as a PGA member while at Stoke Peter Crouch helped him fall in love with the game so what are they doing now well now you know that's what Peter Odden Winger is doing everybody Vish you've won again a quick word to your adoring public stop DMing me ask me to get back on the tabs because Manchester United lost to Grimsby Town please
