This episode is a segment of The Football Ramble called “My Biddy Aunt,” themed “Spanish superstars.” The hosts play a bidding game: each round they name a Spanish footballer and bid how many professional clubs the player has played for (competitive appearances only). Key claims/examples: David Silva is discussed with clubs including Manchester City, Valencia, Real Sociedad, Osasuna, Ibarón (2004), and Celta Vigo. Santi Cazorla is bid with clubs including Arsenal, Villarreal, Malaga, and others (e.g., Recreativo de Huelva; Al-Sadd in Qatar). Pep Guardiola is the “bald fraud” round with clubs including Barcelona and Italian sides (Roma, Brescia) plus Qatar (Al Ali) and Mexico (Dorados). Juan Mata’s round includes Chelsea, Manchester United, Valencia, Real Madrid Castilla, and Japanese clubs (Vissel Kobe) plus Australian clubs (Western Sydney Wanderers, Melbourne Victory). Pepe Reina’s round lists Liverpool, Barcelona, Napoli, Lazio, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Aston Villa, Villarreal, and Cormor.
no real guests; it’s a game between hosts Marcus Speller and Jim Campbell, with “Little Luke” referenced as an opponent/bit.

3:10Pete Donaldson: Please. Your opponent today is... What's all a hoopla? It's Little Luke. That is fucking terrifying. It's a win for all of the Luke Nation. Exactly, yeah. Big and small.
3:35It's one of those games that's quite difficult to explain, but you'll get it as soon as you start hearing it.
3:40Pete Donaldson: Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble. It's Friday afternoon and it's my video. I'm Marcus Speller. And I'm Jim Campbell.
4:04Pete Donaldson: Oh, it's Friday afternoon, Jim Campbell. It is. And, uh, wait a minute. We need three to tango. We do. For my biddy aunt. We've got you, we've got me. We've not. It's not.
4:22Sorry, I've dropped your pen. Oh, right. My biddy aunt. My biddy aunt. If you don't know the rules, they're very, very simple indeed. Each round, I'll be mentioning a footballer's name. One of you will bid on how many of that player's clubs you can name. Your opponent can then raise the bid or challenge you to name them. Only professional clubs count, and the player must have made a competitive opinion for that team. If you fail to meet your bid, Marcus Speller, your opponent scores. First to three points wins. It's a good one, this one. Good. I think you're going to enjoy this. For us or you?
4:54What do you want me to do? Oh, you want the pen? You want the pen I dropped earlier, yeah. Right, today's theme is... Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ole! It's Spanish superstars.
5:07Pete Donaldson: Okay. Had a few of them last week, if I remember. We did, yes. Can we have them again? I've got all of them. Little Luke got lots of them wrong. Jim, you're going to be kicking off. Yes! All right. It's a player who is incredibly decorators, incredibly good at his job, but he only had five clubs. Oh, okay. Which is quite a short round, I would say, for my buddy and. It's David Silva. David Silva. David Silva. You thought he was David Veer, didn't you, last week? Sorry, it's talking to you, Little Luke. Yeah, sorry, that was Little Luke. That is obviously who I was referring to. Ooh, God, I had every opportunity to Google this and didn't.
5:48That's annoying.
6:00I'm going to go for three. You're going to go for three? Yeah. You know what? For a five club man, I think that's fair enough, to be honest. Marcus, he's been scribbling away. He's definitely got four names on the paper. Are you going to go for four, Marcus? One of them has a question mark over it. Ah, over it? You write them at the end.
6:20Pete Donaldson: Is that confident or not? Hard to tell Ah bollocks I'll go four Hey Go on Marcus Well Jim might go five I'm not going for five He's not going for five I fear that I'm missing an obvious one Come on Marcus give us your four So this is David Silva right? David Silva Not David Silva Who we both could and should have googled Right You little idiot Manchester City is my opening answer. All right. Yeah. Okay, I've got... You've got the right man. Jim's look there was just saying, oh man, have I done it again? Valencia. And Valencia B. 2003 to 2010. Valencia B.
7:08Real Sociedad. That's where he went after Manchester City. They were my three. Now, this is the punt.
7:15Pete Donaldson: Ooh. And I don't think I've got it right Oh no, I have I'm thinking of somebody else Oh, I'll say it Osasuna Oh, Marcus Fortune did not favour the brave Go on, put me out of my misery, who was it? Ibar on Lawn in 2004 And Celta Vigo That's Ibar An early little bit of You remember all that Osasuna business back in the day? do you remember that when David Silva didn't play for them when he didn't play for them it was the Nord David Silva club he kept turning up in the show and he confused me so anyway did you have those three I did I thought I had to go for it and either way I didn't get the point well done Marcus good on you for going for it we're playing opposites yeah well done me yeah well done you it's that alternative league on another day on another day on another day I wouldn't have got that so it's Marcus Nell Jim, one as we're heading to the second round.
8:17Marcus, you are going to be starting this one. Six clubs. Your friend and mine has got a funky ankle. It's Santi Cazola. Santi Cazola. Santi Cazola. Saint Chris. Cazola. This definitely favours Jim. Santi Cazola. I'm going to type Cazola meaning. The meaning of the name. It means little house. Oh. Saint little house. I'll go for three. Yeah, I'll go for four I can't remember he's an Arsenal I know, I know I'm still not particularly Sure about them though Shall I begin? You're throwing this second round away
8:58Pete Donaldson: I'll be honest, I was struggling with three Right, Jim, give us your four please I'll start with the ones that I'd know for sure Arsenal, of course Villarreal Six years and One day A lot of spells. And Viral Vrbbb. I'm pretty sure he played for Malaga. He did for one solitary year. I actually, I did have Malaga. Yeah. And I think Raul Oviedo is where he finished, right? Or I got that one wrong. I feel like I might have balls the name up there. Have I? It's correct! Oh, don't do that! Three years leaving. Is he retired now? I think he's finally retired. Oh, good on him. yeah you missed out Recreativo de la Chilva and Al-Sard in Qatar as well three financially lucrative years yes well done that is it's a 2-0 lead streaking into the league the way you hammered me last time I'm fearing another hammering by old Jim again I've been I've been pretty lucky so far though you shot yourself in the foot and there was an Arsenal player in there so I'm not counting any chickens yet no chickens will be counted it's Jim Jim's job to do the round first.
10:12Round three. Five clubs. He's a bald fraud. He's Pep Guardiola. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I'm seeing two names written on that sheet. I think I might be a right prick and go for two. I'm not this stork, Jim. You've got to go for two. Right. To clarify, I'm going to be a right prick and go for two. It's tactical. It's tactical. I like it. I have to go for three. I like it.
10:39Pete Donaldson: I have to go for three. to save yourself. No, but you know what though? I'm about to ball this up. It's like last chopper out of Hanoi stuff. This is so frustrating because I know one of the niche ones and I can't get one of the obvious ones. Right. I'm going to ball this up. Come on. Who was it? Come on. I don't know you, Pete. I'd like to hear a name. No, I like the tension. I like to see one man's broken dreams. I just, I like to press from the front, you know. It's like the bill is at the door, Marcus. This is so frustrating. They're going to take your telly, Marcus. It's so frustrating. They're going to take your television in your car.
11:10Pete Donaldson: This is so annoying. And all of your yogurts. They're going to take your yogurts, Marcus. Okay, all right, fine. So I'm obviously bidding three. Come on. Come on. Be bold. Yeah, but this is so annoying because there's... Five clubs. Yeah. You've got a chance. So Barcelona is where we begin. Barcelona, A, B and C, 1988 to 2001. When the towers fell. And this is going to frustrate me so much because there's an Italian club in there which I can't think of and I reckon Jim's probably got it and everyone's going, well, obviously he went there. So Dorados in Mexico. Oh, very good. Very good. But that's the annoying thing.
11:48Pete Donaldson: I've got that one and I can't get the bloody Italian club. Okay, you've got three teams to go. Three teams to go. I can confirm that he did go to Italy. Yeah, I know he did. And I... Would you say the name then? Yeah, and that's the tricky part. This is so annoying because Jim sat there all... Say the name. Say the name. Words are on your lips. Say the name. Give us the name Marcus give us the name I mean the only one I've got a tickle with I'm not convinced Bologna It's not Bologna is it? Jim Calderon Oh bollocks The bald frauds I knew I was struggling Put me out of misery I remembered one of them It was Roma I'm just going to prove it Before he reads it It was Roma And it was Brescia Brescia That was it Handle the Brescia Evidently not Jim Evidently not If you apply some Brescia And he also played in Qatar as well Can you remember the Qatari side?
12:54No You might have not known it was the Qatari side Al Ali 2003 to 2005
13:04Pete Donaldson: Yeah Yeah, but to get Dorados and not get Rome or Bleed in Brescia. But it was important to me to win that like a prick, and you've enabled that for me. But I'm glad. I can still score some goals, even though I'm not getting any points. Exactly. Well, okay, round number four. You've got eight clubs. And Marcus, it's your turn to restore a little bit of glory, a little bit of pride to... What's the city of Marcus? I can't remember now. No, I don't think there is one. It's been sacked. Yeah, it's been ransacked. Spezzenborg. Spezzenborg. Eight clubs. Here we go. We once saw him at a park where we played football once.
13:40Juan Mata.
13:41Pete Donaldson: Oh, okay. Juan Mata.
13:47Pete Donaldson: I'll play a conservative and say four. It's not bad. Four? Yeah. Yeah, strong. I don't think I can get five, to be honest. Eight clubs. I've got a few tickles, but... Ooh. Jim. Flirty. Yes. We flirt with Jim. I think he'll get his four but why not why not let him why not let him get his four why not let him get his four alright lose a talk from the winner inexplicably he's in that position alright then give us your four Marcus Chelsea correct Manchester United correct Valencia correct and this is where there's suddenly like a lot of clubs there's another Spanish club and I feel it could be the one that I messed up but then him saying the club that Santi Cazorla finished at I'm getting confused but was it Juan Mata who played for Osasuna?
14:44Pete Donaldson: No, nobody played for Osasuna. Oh, Marcus. Oh, dear. Marcus, will you stop saying Osasuna, please? I need to stop saying. I mean, I know there's a Japanese and there was Australian one. Will you stop saying Osasuna? Go on, put me out of my misery. Who was it? It was Real Madrid-Castilla. Oh, was it? Was that the only other Spanish one? Yes, it was, yeah. A bit of a traveller There was Juan... Where did he play in Australia? Did he play in Japan as well? He did play in Japan. He played for Fisal Kobe. Oh, I had that! With a question mark. The money side. Yeah, I did think about that. Sagan Tosu and they just had cash.
15:16Galatasaray for the Western Sydney Wanderers.
15:18Pete Donaldson: Yeah, the Aussie club I was a bit like. And Melbourne Victory as well. So I was thinking, is it Melbourne City? And I was like, I don't think it is. Whoa! The gym's on for the whitewash. It's a gym wash. It could be a gym wash. Get yourself a gym wash. I really tried to give you a point there as well I appreciate that Alright, get your gyms in the sink get ready for a gym wash pop them in the sink round number 5, 9 clubs another bald fraud Pepe Reina a real classic set of clubs this one Luke would be happy to take that to the course I'll go for 5 oh a nine that's not bad don't mind it do not mind it that's impressive it is impressive isn't it the vibes with himself Pepe Reina even though you probably get it my mind has gone blank for Pepe Reina so I'm going to ask Jim to do his five okay alright I like it so he played for Liverpool as we all remember start with that one we all remember he played for Barcelona yep A, B and C and he spent a bit of time in Italy He played for Napoli.
16:29Yes, he did. Lazio and AC Milan. It's not bad. There we go. Come on. A worthy winner. So I'd forgotten. When he's on that kind of form, what can you do? It's Arsenal versus Brighton this weekend. It's Arsenal versus Fulham. There's definitely some scraped 1-0s in this game. You've won 5-0. It's impressive. Mate, it's an absolute gym washroom. His other clubs were Virial. Bayern Munich. I'm not a bit of a tickle about that. Bayern! He was at Aston Villa briefly. Oh. And Cormor as well. Oh, wow. I mean, Barca, Villarreal, Liverpool, Napoli, Bayern Munich, AC Milan, Aston Villa, Lazio, Cormor. I mean...
17:06There's no regrets there, is there? I mean, that is just leaving everything out there, isn't it? That is a lovely old job. Lovely.
17:11Pete Donaldson: I am struggling at this game this season. You get in your own head. You get in your own head really quickly. You did another pre-season, Marcus. I'm not doing very well. But I'll be back at some point. You'll be back. Can I play... No, actually, no. Play a little. He'll probably beat me. How rude. Well, there we are. Pick on little Luke. Jim's giving me an absolute shoe in there. So, Jimmy, you get to pick the pit bull track going into the weekend. Fireball. That's an excellent choice. And I would have chosen it. So, in a way, it doesn't matter who won that. We got the right result, everybody.
