3:48Marcus Speller: It's one of those games that's quite difficult to explain, but you'll get it as soon as you start hearing it.

3:53Luke Moore: Oh, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. It's my Biddy Ant. I'm Marcus Speller.

4:00Marcus Speller: I'm Luke Moore. And I'm Vinicius Rahantaraja.

4:03Luke Moore: He's the champ, currently.

4:17Luke Moore: Well, well, well. Here we are again, in our same seats again.

4:21Marcus Speller: Can I make a very quick, brief... Early dig? ...party political broadcast to all the people who've joined the Luke Nation since Vish's appalling behaviour last Friday. Mind games, mind games. I want you to know, if you're recently joining the nation because you were disgusted with how Vish behaved, that whatever your political affiliation before you joined the nation is forgotten about, you're very welcome here it's a broad church for everyone thank you very much for joining and with your help and your strength we can go on to even greater successes sounds like somebody else is he allowed to do that here oh the bloke is always on question time yeah I thought that it's a shame to that yeah thank you for joining our nation we all get our nation back that's right that's right

5:06Luke Moore: oh dear can we get on with this

5:09Marcus Speller: because there's some lampposts down the road I've got to take you leave my

5:12Luke Moore: flags up there. It's a World Cup year. We've got to get ahead of it. It's a World Cup year. That's what they should do.

5:21Marcus Speller: People have joined the nation in record numbers since Vish. Marcus, whatever you think of me, you cannot abide what happened last Friday.

5:27Luke Moore: You heard what I said about it. You stand by it? It's a chance for you to restore some of your honour. But you had somebody say this to you, looking you right in the eye recently, didn't you, Vish?

5:37Marcus Speller: On Thursday, I was at the Men's 100 auction, a lot of money. is being spent. Yeah, it's a cricket thing. Someone who's recently moved quite high up to the ECB, they came up to me, they introduced themselves. I was like, I'm Volusia Hunter-Raja, correspondent at ESPN Quick Info. He said, I know. And he went, oh yeah, nice to meet you. And then he just paused for a minute, smiled and went, Real Madrid, eh? Yeah! Listen, it's like... It's good. So it's not only affecting my personal life, it's also affecting my professional life as well. And rightly so, because the nation reaches is all sorts of places.

6:12Marcus Speller: The tentacles get rid of the very highest levels. Particularly the highest levels.

6:17Luke Moore: It's a chance for you, though, today to put that behind you. And I'll give you... Look, I'll give you another opportunity. Would you like to apologise for that?

6:26Marcus Speller: No, no, no.

6:26Luke Moore: Okay.

6:27Marcus Speller: Once a week ticks over, it's a new week. Someone replied to... We'll put a comment on one of my Instagram posts saying, I think what you did today was a disgrace. And I replied saying, I'd do it again a thousand times. and then he replied, I respect that. There you go. You've got it back on board. Yeah, which is the Ramble audience to a T. True enough, true enough.

6:48Luke Moore: Well, anyway, it was an epic tussle last week.

6:50Marcus Speller: It was, a colossal tussle.

6:51Luke Moore: After a long time, must, some might say, of dominance from that guy Vish, Luke came and took the Jackson Cyclopedia belt back for him and his whole Luke nation.

7:02Marcus Speller: Yeah, it was surprising to me because I think traditionally I'm better at this one. So I wasn't expecting, if I was going to get any belt back, I thought I wasn't going to get that one back. I think I'm worse at that one when it's two people. I think whenever, because obviously we usually play that as a four man. We do. Well, three. And then it's like you can use someone else to take out someone else. Yeah, that's true. This one's much more tactical though. And I rate myself on the old tactics. Yeah.

7:25Luke Moore: An early mind game there from Luke Morvish. Would you like to respond to that mind game?

7:29Marcus Speller: Speaking of mind games, I once played Jim and he was sitting here and he just turned his laptop around as we were about to start and he'd just written in massive letters, mind game on his laptop and made me look at it the whole game. Very clever, very clever. He's able to do it as well.

7:41Luke Moore: Well, if you enjoyed that clash last week, or you generally enjoy our Friday games here at the Ramble, then please do give us a five-star review wherever you listen to your podcasts. We would appreciate that enormously because that way even more people can join the fun and find out what a dastardly bunch Vish and Luke and myself are. I'm involved in this. I can't take any moral high ground. Jake on YouTube did leave this comment on last week's game. I emigrated from Spelgium to the Luke Nation many moons ago an absolutely momentous day respect your elders and do not fuck with the big boys yeah exactly life so there we are

8:17Marcus Speller: I think part of being part of the Luke Nation is you have to give a five star review to the show wherever you get your show from but if you are a new recruit to the Luke Nation do go and do that five star review they could recruit yeah yeah yeah

8:31Luke Moore: yeah back to today though we're playing my bitty aunt it's Vish versus Luke if Luke wins he unifies the belts. If you don't know the rules, they are simple. Come on! Each round, I'll name a footballer. One of you will bid how many of their clubs you can name. Your opponent can then raise the bid or challenge you to list those clubs. Only professional clubs count. And the player must have made a competitive appearance for the club. Yeah. And if you fail to meet your bid, your opponent scores. Yeah. First of three points wins. Today's theme, quite appropriately, is penalty takers. and this game could be anyone always feels

9:07Marcus Speller: is it English bounty takers

9:08Luke Moore: you'll find out as the game unfolds Luke incredibly after all that chat and bluster is the challenger so he goes first because Vish as I say you are currently the big old champ at this round one nine clubs he does tuck them away with aplomb Ivan Tony nine clubs for Ivan the not terrible, terrible penalty taker. Of course, we've seen him score a penalty for England. Did one in the show tat, the show tat against Switzerland in the Euros. Some wonderful social media videos then came from that penalty. Particularly enjoyed the one because he looked at the keeper, didn't he? And he took the penalty.

9:58Luke Moore: And in that social media stuff, it was him reading a book but he's not even looking at the pages. Absolutely brilliant. And he's throwing darts at the dartboard, not looking at the dartboard. Brilliant stuff. Brilliant stuff. Luke Moore, it's time for you to give me an opening bid. It's a bit of a tricky one, that. A bit of a tricky one. Okay, I want to go four. Four. Four. Vish, can you name five clubs Ivan Toney has played for?

10:27Marcus Speller: I'm hoping four's the sweet spot but I think it might... I'll do six. Oh, God.

10:31Luke Moore: That is a flex from the champ. Not even doing five. This is starting very badly. He's going two more than Luke Moore. Luke, can I hear seven?

10:39Marcus Speller: No.

10:39Luke Moore: I didn't think so.

10:40Marcus Speller: So basically, I think I could probably, at a stretch with a guess in there, go for six. But I can't go for seven. I've got no choice than to let the champ step up.

10:48Luke Moore: Right. Vish, you've bidded six. You've blown Luke out of the water there with that bid.

10:52Marcus Speller: It sounds confident as well.

10:53Luke Moore: You've gone two above what he thought. That sounds very confident. Can you back it up? Over to you.

11:00Marcus Speller: Newcastle United. Brentford Northampton Town Peterborough United Al-Athli

11:08Luke Moore: Where he currently is

11:10Marcus Speller: Scunthorpe

11:11Luke Moore: I'll give you that It was Scunthorpe United Very impressive from Vish there Very very impressive indeed

11:18Marcus Speller: I couldn't remember the club he's at now

11:19Luke Moore: I had Barnsley as well Barnsley would have been the correct answer

11:22Marcus Speller: I wrote that, Barnsley

11:24Luke Moore: Oh

11:25Marcus Speller: But did he play for Stevenage?

11:26Luke Moore: He didn't He played for Shrewsbury Town Of course he did Shrews, Shrews, Shrews and Wigan Athletic.

11:32Marcus Speller: God, that's a bad start by me.

11:33Luke Moore: So a few lone ones there, but very impressive. Northampton Town, of course, is where he started and currently is at Al-Akli. My goodness. So prior to missing a penalty for Al-Akli, only a few weeks ago, he had a perfect record from the spot, scoring all 24 of his previous penalties. I'm going to say something.

11:53Marcus Speller: It's a World Cup year. Why is he missing penalties? Who gives a shit? Yeah, exactly. He's flawless in our eyes. Exactly.

11:59Luke Moore: Maybe that's what he thought. Vish, you're up now. Round two. Such a poor start. Round two. Seven clubs. Very famous in the Premier League. Yaya Toure. And I don't think that's too much of a clue to say, Premier League. Seven clubs from Yaya Toure. Until December, he had the best penalty record in the Premier League era with a 100 % record from 11 players. penalties.

12:33Luke Moore: Four? Four clubs for Yaya Toure.

12:37Marcus Speller: Oh, God.

12:38Luke Moore: Luke Moore, can I hit five? No. You're not going five at all? No. I can't get near five. I think this is one of those players where you probably want the opening bid. Big time. I would have thought.

12:52Marcus Speller: That's all the players for me. Even though I messed up the last one. So, Vish,

12:57Luke Moore: four clubs that Yaya Toure has played for.

12:59Marcus Speller: I'm not sure about one of them, you know, but Man City, Barcelona. I had those two. Olympiacos. I have Monaco.

13:07Luke Moore: Very good. Fuck it, I'll get it. Well played. So, yeah.

13:12Marcus Speller: Shortest step ever, this.

13:14Luke Moore: So we started at Bavarin, then went on to Meta Lille Donetsk and currently, it's not currently, sorry, finished at Quindau Hung Hai. So if you'd have got that one, I'd have given you the money myself. but yeah very impressive that Vish you didn't give Luke any room I think I think 4 was always going to win that one I think 3 might have done it Marcus 3 would have won that one

13:41Marcus Speller: yeah City and Barcelona yeah yeah

13:45Luke Moore: but yeah such an impressive man yeah played for a number of different clubs there

16:19Luke Moore: 2-0 to Vish. The champ is flexing. But Luke Moore, I think you're on serve. I think this might be a little bit more in your wheelhouse.

16:31Marcus Speller: Well, let's hope so, Marcus. Round three.

16:33Luke Moore: eight clubs this is one of those ones where I was reading through I went but then to be fair I did that for pretty every player

16:40Marcus Speller: I'm having a nightmare don't worry about it

16:42Luke Moore: you've got a chance here James Beattie quite simply one of my most hated players in the Premier League Beattie has just over a 94 % conversion rate from the spot scoring 16 of the 17 penalties that he has taken which is very impressive I think you will agree so eight clubs

17:03Marcus Speller: oh god this is terrible eight clubs I'm having a nightmare four

17:09Luke Moore: you're going four that you're opening bid Vish can I hear five from you

17:13Marcus Speller: I'll do six whoa I mean if if you're going to have a go at me for not answering questions properly last week I'm going to answer all of them this week six we've awakened we've awakened the fucking animal here he's got to get them can I have my pen back please I threw it

17:28Luke Moore: he's got to get them but if he does

17:30Marcus Speller: well I might go seven go on then

17:33Luke Moore: because if he gets it he's won anyway I mean a bid from 4 till 7 would be quite the increase

17:40Marcus Speller: but Marcus my point is he wins anyway if he gets 6 he's won

17:45Luke Moore: it depends how confident he is with the 6

17:47Marcus Speller: I think he's very confident

17:50Luke Moore: what are you going to do Luke? 7 are you really? yeah I'll go 7 Vish can I hear all 8 from you? he's having a good old think here if you go all 8 That is massive time. And even if you don't get it.

18:05Marcus Speller: It's what a champ would do, I think. Can we hear eight, Vish? No, no, I'm not that easy to bait. You do your seven. Okay. Luke Moore, what are you doing? What are you doing? Going out of my sword. I'm dying of my shield. I'm going out of my shield. You don't have to stab yourself with a sword. I don't quit in the corner. It's just ties to the Holyfield.

18:22Luke Moore: Come on then.

18:22Marcus Speller: Coming out for the 12th round is what I'm doing. Right, here we go.

18:24Luke Moore: Seven clubs that James Beattie played for.

18:28Marcus Speller: The worst thing about this is he's genuinely one of my most hated football players.

18:31Luke Moore: Yeah, for obvious reasons.

18:31Marcus Speller: Southampton there we go Blackburn just thought of another one Rangers well played Stoke Everton

18:43Luke Moore: how many's that? you've got five you've got two more to go fuck thought I was close thought I was going to turn it around you're closer than before you started obviously Blackpool

18:53Marcus Speller: very nice oh come on

18:55Luke Moore: so one away very well played

18:57Marcus Speller: oh this is even worse now

18:59Luke Moore: very well played I mean look I think it's a gallant effort. Can you get it? Otherwise, Vish will win. Oh, man. So you've got the choice. I mean, two more clubs of his you've got the choice of. Is there a tickle?

19:12Marcus Speller: I just can't think of anything. Is there a tickle in there? I can't think of anything. Fucking, that's so annoying. In your own time. Yeah. It's a championship round. You get more time. It's not a championship round.

19:25Luke Moore: Come on, Luke. We do need an answer because you've got to say a club because that would be utterly pointless if you didn't. but can we hear just a little

19:32Marcus Speller: I forgot what Sheffield United

19:33Luke Moore: bloody hell come on we're back in the fucking hunt ladies and gentlemen you have just witnessed some of the finest some of the finest my biddy entry that you will ever witness do you know what

19:46Marcus Speller: I looked at Finn producer Finn supported Sheffield United and it clicked it just clicked my goodness I

19:53Luke Moore: I tell you what I I every single hat that I could and would ever wear that is magnificent stuff I think I've got the eighth team I think he finished

20:04Marcus Speller: at Accrington Stanley he did ladies and gentlemen I didn't have Blackpool

20:08Luke Moore: this is why these two are the heavyweights at the moment in the football round I'm genuinely buzzing in arena that is really good I cannot believe you got that that is stunning stuff Luke Moore

20:18Marcus Speller: I wanted the respect of my opponent and I think I've achieved it that is good there we go

20:22Luke Moore: is it me first it's Vish first now oh fucking hell it's Vish first now

20:26Marcus Speller: it's a delaying of the inevitable

20:28Luke Moore: I'm stunned by that. That is wonderful stuff.

20:31Marcus Speller: Four to seven for a bit is a big shout.

20:32Luke Moore: But the fact is that you had them all. Vish, the fact you had Akron Stanley is incredibly impressive as well.

20:37Marcus Speller: How many of those would you have had?

20:40Luke Moore: Oh, I think I'd have gone all eight. I think I'd probably have had about four or five. First shout would have been Rangers, wouldn't it? Frey Ventos.

20:46Marcus Speller: Frey Ventos, yeah. You know it now. Yeah.

20:49Luke Moore: I think I'd have probably been four, maybe five on a good day. So very, very impressive indeed. Round four, Vish. Still a match point, Vish.

20:56Marcus Speller: Yeah.

20:56Luke Moore: But incredibly, Luke has pegged you back there. This man has played for nine clubs. He likes to celebrate. It's Ricky Lambert.

21:05Marcus Speller: Oh, another fucking hated player.

21:07Luke Moore: He scored 54 of the 57 competitive penalties that he took. When asked about how to take the perfect penalty, he said the main thing was power. I'd lace it with power and I'd side foot it with power.

21:21Marcus Speller: He's a prick.

21:23Luke Moore: No pushback on that. so nine clubs from the man this is going to sink me who scored a goal for England against Scotland at Wembley I remember it I was there Vish can I have an opening bid from you

21:40Luke Moore: what are you going for all nine sit him off oh god

21:46Marcus Speller: nine clubs

21:47Luke Moore: I thought that was your bid that's mad no no I thought if that's the bid here then see you later everybody go on What are you going for?

21:56Marcus Speller: I'm going for five. Oh, you absolute slag. I've definitely got five. Oh, God.

22:02Luke Moore: I think five is a very, very respectable bid.

22:05Marcus Speller: So now I've got a massive decision to make.

22:07Luke Moore: Well, it worked for you in the last round. Oh, I'm not sure you could. Are you going to read Vish's body language?

22:13Marcus Speller: You can't catch lightning in the bottle twice, Marcus. He doesn't sound as confident, but I think he'll get them. He's good. How big is your bottle?

22:21Luke Moore: That is the question.

22:22Marcus Speller: He's a good player.

22:22Luke Moore: how big is that bottle of yours

22:24Marcus Speller: I'll go six

22:25Luke Moore: oh there it is

22:27Marcus Speller: I'll tell you something ladies and gentlemen I've got to go out on my own turn here we are I have to this is Han

22:32Luke Moore: do your six this is Han Solo versus Lando Calrissian stuff I'll try and do my six

22:36Marcus Speller: and I'll live and die by that but just out of interest did you have five I think so yeah okay fine

22:41Luke Moore: yeah right and out of interest do you respect Arsenal fan team yes so right okay I think I've respect all over the gas

22:48Marcus Speller: I think I'm confident there's about two of these so this could be fucking horrific.

22:53Luke Moore: Well, look, if you pull this out, this would be unbelievable. Okay, Ricky Lambert. So your bid is six. He's played for nine clubs.

23:00Marcus Speller: Southampton.

23:01Luke Moore: Southampton. We all knew that one.

23:03Marcus Speller: Liverpool.

23:03Luke Moore: We all knew that one.

23:08Marcus Speller: I think he played for Bristol City. We do should have a win! Rovers! Rovers. Oh, no.

23:17Luke Moore: It's a huge win for Vish. But I tell you what, I think that's more relief than jubilant celebration in dishes eyes so I've got

23:25Marcus Speller: I've got Rochdale I've got Rochdale West Brom

23:28Luke Moore: okay so I'll go through Blackpool was where he started

23:31Marcus Speller: that was Blackpool

23:33Luke Moore: so I'm guessing neither of you had them Macclesfield Town I had that

23:37Marcus Speller: as my uncertain fifth one

23:38Luke Moore: very impressive Stockport County shit I don't have any of these Rochdale as you said West Brom yep Bristol Rovers Southampton Liverpool West Brom and Cardiff City it's already finished couldn't get near it

23:53Marcus Speller: well played so which was your five

23:54Luke Moore: you had West Brom Liverpool Southampton Southampton

23:56Marcus Speller: Liverpool Rochdale because Rochdale was there he played up front with Grant Holt which is mental as a strike partnership he's the thickest strike force in history Jamie O 'Hara behind him and you've got the three stoogies also thick with two C's so you had West Brom Liverpool Southampton Rochdale Macclesfield Town was the uncertain one yeah because he's from that because he was he was he came through at Liverpool. Yeah. So I was thinking about that. What I was going to do is if City was right and obviously it was Rovers, I had Rovers written down as well. I thought for some reason he'd play for both of them.

24:30Marcus Speller: I would have just gone for three random Northern clubs and Rochdale I had written down. Interesting.

24:36Luke Moore: Well, I think you can take an ounce of solace that Vish had five right answers there. Yeah, it's nothing like that. But look more, you know, there's still a consolation.

24:43Marcus Speller: That James Beattie round was...

24:45Luke Moore: That was sensational. That was a little win. But it got you the respect and I think that's the kind of thing that a lot of listeners, a lot of floating nation types. I'm trying to build it.

24:55Marcus Speller: I don't think you are a floating nation type. I'm not planning a quizzer. I'm trying to build a nation.

25:01Luke Moore: Yeah.

25:01Marcus Speller: So that helps me to do something great. It does. What's the final one? I'm not going to toss it off. No. Because I wouldn't be respectful. Well, indeed. To the competition. No, certainly not on camera anyway. No. Also, because I nailed the first two, we've got five minutes to go. Also, unless you're a Patreon member, I'm not going to toss it off.

25:16Luke Moore: No, certainly not. yeah that's for the after show party

25:20Marcus Speller: and I'll do it ad free as well absolutely yeah

25:23Luke Moore: right what's the last one no voice is it me first it is Luke Moore first this all does go down to goal difference Jimmy to the B doing the league table it does count despite what Vish did last week round five 13 clubs fuck it I'm sure Vish will be happy that he's got the victory sewn up but Luke is first 13 clubs Ciro Immobile

25:44Marcus Speller: oh my god

25:45Luke Moore: yeah tricky one Throughout his career, Chiro Immobile has tucked away a total of 86 penalties, with the majority of them, of course, coming in Serie A. That's a clue. He played in Serie A.

25:56Marcus Speller: Oh, goodness me.

25:57Luke Moore: Goodness you. Yeah, this is a real bugger. A bugger-rooney of one. Vish is writing down a lot of teams, although some of them are not football teams. God. 13 13 yeah that's a lot what's he playing at he loves it doesn't he absolutely loves it

26:21Marcus Speller: okay I'll start off with 4 it's 4 I'll do 8

Yes! I don't have 12, but I'll do 12. No, I could bid 13. Yeah. All 13. That would be silly. But you want the point? No, I'd love to see Vish do 12.

27:25Luke Moore: Oh, dear, yeah. This is unbelievably good. You need two more. Two more. Two more? Two more. Either way, Vish, you have an enormous amount of money. This is why. That's great. This is why when you get whitewashed. I can't compete with that. This is ridiculous. I can't do, I could note. I told the production stuff we shouldn't give him the answers before the game. they didn't listen to me come on fish what have you got two more

28:26Marcus Speller: There's no way I would have gone. I reckon I wouldn't have put Sevilla, Piscara or Paris, if there was something on the line for that. Yeah. That was very much the...

28:34Luke Moore: Vish, that is incredibly impressive. Fair play. Those were the balls talking.

28:37Marcus Speller: Give him the button again. He deserves it.

As David slew Goliath, the Luke Nation emerged victorious against the Ehantharajah Empire last week, which has left Vish clinging only to the My Biddy Aunt belt... and boy oh boy is Luke hungry.
