0:56y field series for girls and women. Colgate, your smile is your strength.

1:03Luke Moore: If you're going to walk on water, make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes, everybody. Welcome to the Football Ramble! David Rye was heroic and Harry Kane got a winner. It's Wednesday 8th of April. I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Luke Moore.

1:13Marcus Speller: And I'm the Lucha de Humpiraja.

1:27Luke Moore: ¡Hola, everybody! ¡What a sunny day in the kingdom, Vish! ¡Como, summer's here! ¡It is, yeah! ¡21 degrees! ¡I don't think summer's here! ¡Do you not? ¡It's a nice day! ¡Pouring cold water on the sunshine! ¡Try it! ¡Try it! ¡Goo on! ¡Do it! ¡The UK will pour cold water on your opinions probably this time next week! ¡Will it just, though? No, times are a-changing. ¡Fuck you, Storm Dave! ¡Where are you now? ¡We've finally got the sunshine! ¡Yeah, it's great to have it! ¡It's great to have it! ¡It is good to have it! Just saying, snow towards the end of the month, guaranteed. Not in every part, though.

1:59That's only because of the nuclear winter, though.

2:01Marcus Speller: Yeah, true. Doesn't really count.

2:03Luke Moore: Oh, dear. Thanks to Friend of the Ramble, Daniel Hunter, for giving us that intro line. A nice little bit of Arctic Monkeys. Oh, is it? I didn't know that. I didn't place it. No, actually, no. It's Alex Turner. Is it? Okay. On his solo stuff, I believe.

2:18Marcus Speller: Sunmarine, is that it?

2:19Luke Moore: Yes, if you're going to walk on water, make sure you wear some comfortable shoes. Is that Mandela? Apparently, Nick, you're everyone. Apparently, it is Arctic Monkeys. Welcome to Countdown. Oh, it is. Yeah, it is Arctic Monkeys. All right, well, there you go. We got there in the end, everybody, as did Daniel with his intro line. If you want to submit an intro line for a future episode and get an extended edition of today's show and become a friend of the Ramble on our Patreon, just head to patreon.com forward slash football ramble to get involved. You sound like that guy from Family Guy now. Which one's that?

2:52Luke Moore: The old guy. Oh, the pedo. Yeah, the old pedo guy. Yeah. Yeah. Just get involved. Yeah, that's good. That is good. Sporting. Zero. That's enough now. Is it? Yes, it is. I'll decide. Pedophile.

3:07Marcus Speller: Do an impression of a cartoon pedophile. How was the show? Yeah, I hosted an impression of a pedophile for the first couple of minutes. People liked it for a bit. And then refused to stop. He said he'll decide when he's stopping doing an impression of a pedophile on the show that everyone was listening to. How long did you do it for? Bueno, I aimed for about 45 minutos Pero I thought we could do with the extra four quid So I stretched it to 55

3:29Luke Moore: Nobody will get that

3:30Marcus Speller: No We could laugh too Oh, because everyone will love the impressions But they know what it was

3:34Luke Moore: And if you start me up, I'll never stop Yeah As a certain Paul McCartney Right then Flying without wings he was Who do you want next? See you tomorrow Sporting zero Arsenal one Kai Havertz with a lovely goal in stoppage time. A huge win for Arsenal, Vish.

3:57Marcus Speller: Quick one. Did you two dual screen yesterday? Two games, so easy to do. Did you two dual screen? I didn't do that because I find that if I do that, I end up feeling like I've not watched any of them. Same.

4:07Luke Moore: So I stuck with this one. Same. I actually had Arsenal on one screen and I had Southampton on the other. Oh, fuck. Here we go. 5-1 against Frexham. What about that? Listen, right? And that's going to sound like a pretty innocuous comment to everyone listening. pero yo quiero darles un poco de contexto si hay que si hay si hay

4:23Marcus Speller: o si hay o si hay mencionar la footballa football scorer en la championship en una footballa show no he takes umbrage con eso

4:30Luke Moore: no no we discuss more of the cartoon pedo si you know as well as I do we discussed before the show that we had too much stuff we all voted that we dropped Southampton Wrexham and everyone chose it apart from Marcus who said alright fine then and then not five minutes in he's just mentioning it anyway Sporting Zero Arsenal 1. Not as many goals in this one as there was at the racecourse ground at Wrexham of course. Not called that anymore. It is. It's called, you're supposed to do it in the Welsh name. And you can't so. There we go.

5:05Marcus Speller: Not as many goals in that game. Down the hatch, lovely. Racecourse ground, down the hatch, lovely. Double parked.

5:13Luke Moore: There you go. Parkinson. Anyway, let's talk about David Raya, he was the man at the centre of it all, made some fabulous saves, particularly that one from Maximiliano Arako that smacked the bar and when we all saw it was a save, everyone was like, oh my goodness! Yeah, because you didn't pick it up as a save to start with. Yeah, you were admiring that unbelievable pass. Brilliant pass. Which from a neutral point of view, you're gutted that's not an assist. Yeah, he will be. One of the greatest assists of all time, damn it all! It's such a great pass. Also, an amazing reflection of how far football has come.

5:46porque yo no me sorprendió si si usó un tipo de AI software para monitorar cada single game de football que sucedió en la década de la 1980s y no centre-backs doing that Tony Adams, Terry Butcher no, no, no you might find a kind of Barcelona centre-back maybe here and there doing something approximating

6:08Luke Moore: not in the 80s, I agree with you the fact that that pass was so good it was so good and the effort was as well y Ben White must have been like for fuck's sake I'm having a really bad fortnight can you not do that

6:20Marcus Speller: it's also that thing of when you're defending in that position you're obviously working on the movement of someone with the ball and you're like a centre back running to his left clearly like not quite balanced enough to play a normal pass he's not going to know he has hit that on the outside of his foot I think it's a really good point because that is lost in a lot of modern football coverage because there's so much of it now and a lot of it comes from people que no... A lot of it's theoretical for them. I don't mean you need to have played the game in the Andy Gray type style. But I remember when I was younger being coached as a defensive player, even just a Sunday level or a Saturday level or whatever, being told if I was playing right back, which I used to do sometimes, that you tuck in if the ball's over the other side to cover.

7:06And if the ball comes over and they can play a pass that good, you just hold your hands up. That's just how it goes. Sometimes goals are brilliant because players are brilliant and there's no defending against them. Y si ese gol ha ido en, no puede ser realmente culpable.

7:18Luke Moore: ¿Es que el primer golfer Salampton against Arsenal se fue en el Ben Roethlis y no puede ser. Sí, es muy windy. Es que es un buen parque. Yo me he he he he he he he y si es un buen día y no te preocupes. Sí. Sí. No te preocupes. Sí. No te preocupes. Sí, sí. No te preocupes. Sí, sí. Pero es un buen parque. No, no. No, no. No, no.

7:43Luke Moore: No, no. No, no. No, no. as we've come to know from him now, I mean Kai Havertz was saying post-match that he's the best goalkeeper in the world all this kind of chat, I mean some of the saves he makes they are they're so good you think if he doesn't get near that it's totally fine and he manages to save those ones it's not a case of oh could he have an elite goalkeeper, maybe Courtois would have got to that or we'll come to Neuer in the second half you know Neuer, I would have said Bueno, yo estaba diciendo que es heyday, pero mi Dios, a la edad de 40. Para los que no se han dado a XG, y a la vez que no se han dado, Davo Rua ha apparently stopped 9 goals.

8:25Luke Moore: ¿Por qué? ¿Por qué? ¿Qué piensas de Davo Rua? Depende de quién es on. Depende de quién es on. Hey, PTD ha never sido critical de su shot stopping, as he reminded me de nuestra group yesterday. Y su shot stopping fue superb. Even when he dropped that one in the second half He manages to recover superbly well He's a brilliant goalkeeper

8:47Marcus Speller: He's someone who Even in that moment when he's not Completely crisp Let's say if that goes in You probably label it as a mistake He has this ability of not to He's never scrabbling No It's quite hard to tell When it happens in that second half But when you see the replay from side on instead of going for the ball that he's just dropped he just immediately goes for the save and he's so close that he knows this guy's going to have to have a hell of an effort even from close range to get it past me so if he goes for the ball he kind of ends up flapping around with it and it might be loose and he just goes immediately to the save but it was a mistake but he almost in the moment acknowledges I've fucked up here, this is the one way to redeem it rather than shit you could take the leaf out of that book cuando comes to this fish

9:39Luke Moore: Unbelievable with what shots fired how long have you got shots fired everybody but what did you make of the game more generally Luke Moore because sporting they flew out the traps of course as we expected them to do and then the game kind of took a dynamic which maybe we thought it probably would yeah it had a real chance of being quite a sticky one for Arsenal I think I think you know when you see that draw come in you think okay good well we'll take that all day long and you don't blame Arsenal or their players their fans for thinking we'd rather play this team than the way the draw could have gone given the other teams que son in there, there's obviously a potential to even subconsciously go, we should win this, we should get through this and we'll be fine.

10:16But Sporting's record at home is really good. They're a good team and they showed they're a good team last night. And I think that goal they scored towards the end of the field could be massive for them. I mean, because now they don't, they don't need to win the home game. You'd probably expect them to. But the point being, if they come out of that nil-nil, they'd say, okay, we'd have taken that Sporting or a good side and we back ourselves at home. pero el objetivo, creo, cambió la compleja totalmente.

10:39Luke Moore: La confianza también, ha sido sido beatente twice en un de dos cupos competiciones. Sí, porque la gente ha tenido... Listen a los chicos en el Arsenal show que Stack también hace. Están Arsenal fans, son una especie de tipo de broadcaster porque están siendo worried y todo el resto. Pero lo que estaba empezando a parecer como Arsenal era lo que todo lo criticaba para ser, lo que todo lo criticaba. Faire o lo que se trata de ser. Cuando se trata de lo que se trata, ¿qué tal de lo que se trata? Si lo es el League Cup final y luego de la FA Cup y luego de la Liga oposición y luego de la Champions League cuando tres o cuatro meses ago, algunos de los exuberantes que son de los que están en este tablo que se trata de hablar de quadruples y todo el tiempo, se trata de ver un poco silly Si se pueden proteger su estatus en la Champions League y se pueden ir más adelante que se parece que se lo hará ahora entonces, lo que está haciendo que se haga rot, pero Sporting were always going to be a difficult opponent I thought the goal that Havertz scored was a goal of great quality it's a brilliant pass from Martínez, great feat from Havertz great composure in that moment and Havertz is a player who we've seen score important goals in important moments in the past in his career and that is something you need when obviously Giocarez's reputation is the opposite to that, right?

11:56Luke Moore: Yeah, I thought Giocarez did okay but I take the point you're saying, I mean comparing the two goalkeepers, Vish, when Havertz que es que es un buen trabajo para Martínez y no me, no me, bueno, supongo que Martínez no ha tenido un buen season pero he es un

12:10Marcus Speller: un poco de un límite player, pero lo que admires de él fue el que se ha hecho un poco de responsabilidad como si fue lo que se ha hecho un trabajo y probablemente hizo en un modo que no de nosotros son particularmente aware que no había el capacidad de hacerlo, como es uno de un lado a la que se ha hecho un poco, que no se ha hecho un y luego de ir a la infiel y y no play that didn't pass to Havertz I didn't know he had it in his locker it has to be pinpoint yeah it's perfect

12:36Luke Moore: the pass and the finish have to be pinpoint the goalkeeper just for a split second hesitates and that gives Havertz the moment doesn't it

12:44Marcus Speller: and that's you know you talked about you started that point with the difference between the two goalkeepers it's someone like being reactive and someone being proactive isn't it Ray is primarily a proactive goalkeeper and you know the sporting keeper was understandably reactive in that moment yeah I'm not being critical I'm just saying that is the difference between the very best no lo que creo que Jokures scores that goal la segunda cosa que made la decision made the distinction between them and that point is because I don't think Jokures scores it for exactly the reason you're saying Jokures doesn't he cannot sort his mind and his feet out that quick and I mean

13:13Luke Moore: it was very good work from Howard it was amazing and I think although I'm not I'm not kind of jumping into some kind of Gabriel Martinelli fan club because I think what you're saying which is broadly true he has had his best performances this season in the Champions League I mean his goals will reckon the Champions League is very good and he hasn't Fou consistencia en la liga. Creo que es fair. Lo que es muy interesante con Martínez es que es solo 24. Sí, sí. Y lo que estamos viendo con él es que estamos viendo a un player de un jugador de un jugador para un jugador de un jugador de un jugador.

13:45Y que es, cualquier manera que se slice, es un camino de la trayectoria. Así que será interesante de ver qué su futuro es en la club. Pero él ha sido un importante player para ellos en la Champions League de la liga.

13:53Luke Moore: ¿Todo Max Downing más de un futuro? Yo diría que él ha un futuro wherever él quiere. y broke a record o dos o menos. Whenever he plays just assume that. Yeah, exactly. But it was good to see him. But it came from the other flank of course as you say with Martinelli. And I think on the Downwind thing just because you brought it up the point I'd like to make about Downwind is that he's obviously a really brilliant young player and there's been some pushback from people who, not just to me but just generally who've said that the applause for Downwind is perhaps a bit over the top he has a long way to go All that stuff is fair.

14:28But the reason Downman is so much more important for Arsenal than just the fact that he's a young player who looks incredibly talented is because of what he represents. And there was a feeling in the last few weeks, there's been a feeling that Arsenal are getting in their own heads a bit. They're overthinking things. They're coming from the manager. They're taking things way too seriously. They're piling pressure on themselves. And when it comes down to it, they are crumbling, right? A player like Max Downman is an amazing antidote to that because he's young, because he doesn't care about that stuff.

14:55He's got no experience that knocks the edges off him. He's super positive. He will drive and drive and drive and he won't be deterred. And sometimes you need that. Sometimes you don't want a player who's been around for five, six, seven years and starts remembering all the disappointments he's had. He hasn't got any disappointments and that's why he's so powerful for them. And that's why he's being used at the moment, partly.

15:14Luke Moore: If you don't have the option of bringing in, say, an experienced old head who knows what they're doing. He's got about six knee injuries under his belt. If you can't bring in, you know, back in the day an Eric Cantona type or whatever y viene, amigos, noslovimos, nos time, We reconhecemos, seguimos, ¿qué es el alternative? Y yo creo que con Max Dale Obviamente es muy diferente, pero I totally agree con esas cosas que se make Y cuando se pone dar la pasada, El chino de laליante, por supuesto, Esos son palpable ,es que se pone logged aquí, even en el teléo. ¿No? Si fuiste uno de mis te mentes, tú vas a ver.

15:41Luke Moore: ¿Y salió contigo de sus Tutasedot ville? Con el судio que toucharon en el czym que hicieron, pues, con el juego de Rigolillo, que fue muy dedicado por Knights blanchem, Mucho ha sido más de esto, cuando Mikel Arteta, municipio, ese mientos de hogar, balancing a ball between their heads and then pens between their fingers. 27th of January, 2026, Mikel Arteta said to his Arsenal players, jump in this boat, it's going to be fun.

16:01Marcus Speller: There you go. Well, that's a fun boat. You reckon you'd be happy to do that, would you? Yeah, I'd like to see the putt. I wouldn't do it all the time. I think I'd take him at face value and be like, I'll do it once. See if you like it. Yeah. See if you like it. You always try things once. Yeah, every seven day cooling off period. It's like buying a new fridge freezer.

16:19Luke Moore: ¿Qué te parece de estos tráculos?

16:20Marcus Speller: I I mean I think it's bollocks but it's not for us is it I cannot understand, beyond the real basic thing of you have to work together which is you assume they'd have that in their head by now. No it's apparently designed for them to be able to automatically do two things at once, that's the point of it so the point of it is that you know like a drummer can y básicamente isolate both his arms and his legs and do stuff, it's supposed to be about automatically being able to perform two tasks at the same time without thinking about it. I'm not saying it's not bollocks, I'm just saying that's why they're justifying it.

16:58I feel like with a month to go... With style.

17:00Marcus Speller: Yeah, is that what, was that the Ape? I assume so. Right, because they're not doing that. No, they're not doing that. They're definitely not doing that. But I reckon with a month to go for the season, he probably should have established whether they can do two things at once.

17:12Luke Moore: Yeah, exactly. están bien

17:15Marcus Speller: I end up winning two things at once.

17:17Luke Moore: I was about to say, when it all's said and done, they're in a good position in the quarterfinal. They're in a great position. And I appreciate they're playing against a side who they would have bit your hand off to play in the quarterfinal earlier on in the competition. No disrespect to sporting. And they're also in a good position in the league, lest we forget. But I think this result, the performance was fine. In these games in the Champions League, when you go away to a side who, as much has been made about their home form, it's really, you know, don't lose the game because you'd fancy Arsenal at the Emirates y Arsenal han tenido suficiente para que lleguemos a nivel pero es un gran given así que iría ok, Ryan needed para hacer un saves y la gente se dice ¿qué si ese primer uno había ido en?

17:54Luke Moore: Yo creo que el juego ha seguido el mismo dynamic porque no creo que Arsenal panic si se van a gol porque hay un montón de football a ser played y creo que el sport es siempre que se van a fly out of the traps y luego play a bit deeper y try a hit on the break y el hecho que se ven y se van a ser patient y se ven con esa Solitario goal lead Es un fenomenal result Es such a confidence booster Y last minute goals You know what it does It gets everybody going And suddenly that second leg They look forward to it Rather than maybe dreading it Had they have lost 1-0 Or 2-0 Something like that And slowly but surely That confidence is coming back in After a really bad few weeks For Arsenal And what it does Is it re-establishes the momentum Totally The momentum at this stage Of the season is really important If they draw that game 0-0 It's not a terrible result por lo que ha dicho, pero hay tres games sin a la fin.

18:45Ellos playen Bournemouth at 12.30 en el Saturday. Bournemouth no se lesen. Bournemouth no ha sido increíble o algo, pero ellos han only lost uno de la liga en este año, y eso fue en el 3 de jane. Early kick-off after playing away en Europa, bla, bla, bla. Luego tienen que intentar y conseguir el trabajo y conseguir el trabajo. Luego tienen que ir a Man City. Si tú vas a ir a los tres games con no momentum a todo, knowing que no hay que ganar un juego por un mes, que es básicamente lo que es, no es un lugar que sea que sea. Así que creo que es un lugar más que un 1-0. Así que sí, sí, sí.

19:16Luke Moore: Sí, no, yo agree. ¿Vale Aaron Ramsey be cheering on Arsenal en el stands at the Emirates? Porque he's retired. He can do what he wants now. Sí. I mean, I presume he will be cheering them on, Marcus, to answer your question directly. ¿From the stands, specifically? Given his injury record, I imagine he'll be sitting. Sí. All right, from the seats then. Yeah, yeah. Right. Good to clarify, in case anyone's trying to spot him. Yeah, he's retired from football with immediate effect. He has been without a club since he left Pumas in Mexico in October last year and struggled with fitness issues and all that kind of stuff.

19:51He lost his dog. Call it as it is, he lost his dog.

19:54Luke Moore: Oh, it was a sad story. The man lost his dog in Mexico and he was absolutely heartbroken by it and I can understand that. Yeah. But I don't think that summarises his career. He's had a good career. When you think of Aaron Rams, you think of a brilliant midfield player pero también he llevamos a tomar los espaciosulares. Es mouvementhсол menos. Esb autopiocinante que莖 causes de ese tiempo y ren princería am particularly 자ca.

20:37Luke Moore: No silencio. I very deliberately chose the word applause because the man has not died, he's just retired.

20:43Marcus Speller: I always find that really shocking for two reasons, one, because it's just fucking moronic, but two, Glenn Whelan, who was playing for Stoke at the time when he did it, was one of the most helpful people in that situation because he, I don't know if you remember, but he comforted Aaron Ramsey and he basically gave him his hand to squeeze and told him not to look at his leg because it was set in back. porque Whelan had done a similar injury y el peor que sucedió cuando se hizo lo que hizo. Yo recuerdo un interesante article cuando he came back, Ramsey, sobre cómo, creo que fue de alguna sports psychologist, que la medicación de la medicación es tan buena ahora que su lega va a ser bien, pero la mayor va a ser la psicología.

21:27La otra cosa, la primera vez, la primera vez, la otra cosa. La otra cosa que me gustaría identificar sobre Ramsey es que, de hecho, he had some success at Arsenal, of course, he was a good player for Arsenal, Europa League final, won a few FA Cups and everything, but he went to Juventus and won the league and that's a great thing. Yeah, I mean,

21:44Luke Moore: he sort of left, again, with injuries and sort of a bit under a cloud, but yes, he did go to Juventus and played for one of the giants. He played, I mean, the season they won the league, in Serie A, he played a lot. Yeah, no, he did, he did, absolutely right. And the chat is, he's interested in pursuing a career in coaching because he took care, take a charge of Cardiff City. That was amazing, wasn't it? Did a brilliant job there.

22:04Marcus Speller: God, that was the saddest part of this story.

22:08Luke Moore: Yeah. But the fact is, he stepped up, he had a go. No, but even... That's what you've got to do with Mark. We're on Mark's watch. You fucking get a bit of enthusiasm, you get stuck in, you have a go. I'm free with that. And it goes to shit. That's how the ramble started. We're still here. Yeah, exactly.

22:23Marcus Speller: When he signed for Cardiff, the big thing was, oh, he'll get to play, you know, join with his son as well. That'd be cool. And Cardiff fans were like, Hold on, we are a serious football club. Yeah, I know. And he got knocked... Listen, his first taste of disappointment was of course back in 2008 losing the FA Cup final to the big boys.

22:39Luke Moore: To the big boys. There we go. Probably what spurred him on.

22:43Marcus Speller: Only one player still standing from the starting 11 for Wales is a 2016 win over Belgium. Who's that? Ben Davis. Yeah. Yeah, must be.

22:51Luke Moore: They are. Certainly not Aaron Ramsey anymore. Ben Davis just goes on and on and on. And when people were linking in with the player management job at Spurs antes de serby took over yo no puedo estar pensando he suffered enough he has suffered enough el hombre ha dado su vida y soul a este club no pute a ti mismo no pute a ti mismo no make up de interviews as well someone should just carry him out of the club at some point right coming up after this Bayern brought out the boom boys at the Burnabout

25:28Luke Moore: la verdadera, la most played fixture en la competición de la historia. I was quite surprised, I don't know why I was, but I was quite surprised by that stat. Were you thinking in World Cup terms in that two of the most successful sides in the competition, but they rarely play each other. And in World Cup history, of course, the first time Brazil and Germany, two most successful sides in World Cup history, the first time they ever met was in the 2002 World Cup final.

25:51Marcus Speller: No way, really?

25:52Luke Moore: It's an utterly remarkable stat.

25:54Marcus Speller: That's mad.

25:55Luke Moore: I think they met again in Brazil at some point, pero no no no no no no no no no no no no no them playing each other in in what it was 2017 18 23 24 there was a big gap they didn't play each of her at all between those games they played each other in the semi-finals of 23 24 right which Real Madrid went through by the odd goal but before that it was a while for some reason I don't think No está en mi mente que mucho. ¿Es más remarkable que Bayern beat them por la primera vez en 14 años? Que es muy remarkable. Yo pensé a mí mismo, que no puede ser. Pero es. Y ¿sí lo que? Que late golfe de Real Madrid spares suave de la blushes.

26:39Porque para perder la home game against that, Bayern Munich son un buen team, obviamente. Para perder la home leg, la primera leg, 2-0, es desastroso. I know que somos seduces como fans de la Champions League. Los grandes comeback nights y el drama. si lo que le han visto es realmente es realmente es muy unlikely es como si spend too much tiempo looking at the stats about a team going two goals down the game how often that team loses you end up not wanting to watch football anymore you end up just wanting to switch it off because the stats are so so slim and I think that goal that Mbappe scores late on they had loads of chances by the way loads of chances throughout the game it could have gone probably could have gone either way but to come out of that 2-1 isn't disastrous I thought

27:21Marcus Speller: Bayern were He 했어. Bueno. También tieneez personnel. Se upliftió posteriormente. Pero su remarks del Mbappé, yo me diría que estás recordando ellos.iejuendé que. O volví ayer pensando. Después, han sacado esto. loggedos más de un testosterone.

27:51Marcus Speller: Donde éste vaはいiam en fait. Bueno, no, no, no, no, no, no.

28:20Luke Moore: As you say, they had chances. Manuel Neuer At the age of 40, again, I had to check that The way the man was playing, I thought He could go on for another flipping five years Brilliant performance from Manuel Neuer Rightly given the Man of the Match award It was a tale of two keepers really last night, wasn't it? But he was phenomenal Made some great saves But despite that, how calamitous were Real Madrid at the back? Particularly calamitous I mean, Bayern, there were two chances It was a period of time when they just kept doing it Yeah, but there was a couple of chances where Y, el Jardín, wooz, Trusty, Pl Schweito está Д呀 y authority, machte el más que podían茹á trabajar.

28:53Marcus Speller: Pero yo creo que no JUST corrione por lo bien que más alvoca. Que lo acabar advocating Alexander Rondon had one as well.

29:02Luke Moore: Well, again, it was a classic Alexander Rondon performance. Great ball for the goal. Wonderful assist. And yet defensively, there's no questions. I do think, though, it's such a conundrum, isn't it? I don't want to derail this conversation too much, but just to make the point, because we're in the aftermath of an England thing, we've just talked about how poor Ben White's been the last few weeks. He's not going to go to the ball. No, but the fact that he's in a squad ahead of Alexander Rondon is weird. Well, but it is weird.

29:29Marcus Speller: It's just straight. para mí, es unalceptible. Ahí está. Así que es weird, él cree que es unacceptable. Yo entiendo lo que estás diciendo, totalmente. Yo no entiendo cómo te justify. Bueno, I mean, Thomas Tuchel, to me, Thomas Tuchel, again, sorry, off topic, Thomas Tuchel picked Ben White as a way of not picking Trent Alexander-Arnold. He wasn't picking Ben White to pick Ben White. He's trying to bring us down from the inside, Mark. That's what Bishop appears to be saying.

29:52Luke Moore: Do you think Thomas Tuchel was basically saying, look, I'm not picking Trent to show you how much I'm not picking Trent. Yeah, I want you to know Just how serious I am about this decision I've made Ben White's in the squad I've proved my point Lee Dixon's in I don't know He'll be there anyway broadcasting We're taking Lee Dixon

30:10Marcus Speller: Do you think the Alexander-Arnold For the first goal Is great moving from Diaz Maybe he should have done better But at the same time He just doesn't see him though But also the left back is so deep I know what you mean He makes a run so much easier for Diaz He's like I think both those things are true The thing with Alexander-Arnold I don't think this particular point Is made as much about him People just generally say He's amazing going forward He's technically brilliant He's a shit defender But actually To put a bit more detail on that What I would say is He just doesn't see or sense danger He never It's like he's never With defenders Even though they're asked to do a lot more now Particularly wide defenders Their first instinct Should be able to be able to defend Si lo ve a alguien como...

31:00¿Quién es un buen ejemplo de eso? Marc Cucurella es un buen ejemplo. He es todo el tiempo. Él plays a un alto nivel. El cielo es muy alto. Pero él es también instintivamente un defender. Pero él se siente el danger. Él puede defender. Creo que Alexander Arnold es siempre su primer thought de defender. Y cuando estás jugando contra los equipos, tu habilidad y habilidad de atleta no te va a dar de eso.

31:23Luke Moore: En el back Real Madrid, leaving Harry Kane completamente unmarqued para que se descanse el balón de la parte de la neta para el segundo caro. Es muy bueno.

31:31Marcus Speller: Para ser honesto, es muy bueno. I mean, they completely fucked up, pero Bayern's front line, el movimiento es insane. Es es. El Isse.

31:41Luke Moore: They're so good. Cuando me veía El Isse Plano, I me veía, ¿por qué se declaró para Francia? Again, they are phenomenal. Y también, por el lado, shout out a Vincent Kompany as well, who's had some journeys Bayern Munich match. Yeah, totally. I don't mean this in a disrespectful way, pero esencialmente un step away de un rato de stock appointment de Bayern Munich eighth choice o algo y ahora han won la liga canta under him fine you'd expect them to do that pero no pero no done that as we've seen pero no pero no pero he's already won la liga en la liga y obviamente la liga Leverkusen were untouchable so it's not as straightforward as perhaps it always seems and then they've got a really good chance in the Champions League this season I mean they're scoring goals for fun Harry Kane helps of course that front three is incredible

32:25Marcus Speller: company at Burnley feels like someone likened it to Bitcoin in 2012 you don't really know but people are telling you to invest

32:36Luke Moore: I mean look you're right I think whoever they get in the next round the smart money would say PSG we'll talk about PSG and Liverpool in a bit I would fancy buying to beat Barcelona or Arsenal quite frankly in the final they really could go all the way

32:54Marcus Speller: do you not think at the back also they're so Open Meccano shocker yesterday should have scored should have conceded a goal as well that chance I know he just said it back but that chance was unforgivable true enough

33:07Luke Moore: as I say that I fancied to beat Barcelona or Arsenal in the final should they get there you mentioned that and I kind of go oh actually let me revise that again the game last night is incredible there were only three goals in it the second leg as a neutral I'm glad Real Madrid scored that goal porque le da extra bit de spice en el mundo. Pero sí, que va a ser un explosivo segundo leg en Munic. Y Real Madrid themselves, como he dicho, no son un buen paso en el momento. Under Aboloa, tienen seis losses en 19 games, que es lo que hicieron en 34 games under Xabi Alonso. Bueno, Brasel fue saying el día que él cree que hay una chance que él no puede perder su job.

33:42Luke Moore: Bueno, hay una chance. Sí, es una chance. Y él fue saying last night que, admitiendo, antes Real Madrid scored that goal, pero él cree que y no, he thinks that he may not, they may not even be in charge for the second leg. Limey. Jesus. Love him here, right? Who's next? I might have stolen Andy's exclusive for OTC on Thursday, by the way, but he was saying that. He shouldn't tell you things, don't watch that meet then if you don't want me to say it. Yeah. You know. He could be stitching you up, maybe the ball will come out and say, no, we're back in. Yeah.

34:05Marcus Speller: Is that why Mourinho was kicking off the other day?

34:07Luke Moore: Yes. And Benfica.

34:09Marcus Speller: Well, I don't think there has to be a why.

34:12Luke Moore: Saying that certain players he doesn't want to see ever again o el pitch o algo así great start yeah lovely play the hits last time we checked him he was stopping him sleeping at night wait till the

34:24Marcus Speller: transfer window opens they are knackered

35:19Luke Moore: ¡Gracias!

35:44I'm going to make history for your club definitely do it at Reading

35:47Luke Moore: so you thought Lincoln making history have been on such a long journey it's incredible stuff you thought this is my chance to get a dig in at Reading I am happy to get a dig in at Reading at all times yeah there's several reasons for that I'm going to go into them if you want me to you have to do I mean look Lincoln City they may or may not be playing Southampton next season in the Champions League if Saints get promoted they may or may not be playing Portsmouth either so I don't know where the South Coast representación will come from but Lincoln are there they're going to be there they did it with five games remaining they can still reach 100 points that will surely be the goal but they have the seventh lowest budget in the league it's a crazy story it's a brilliant story it's an amazing story for their manager Michael Scubala as well who's kind of come from nowhere really very young he's never really had he's not that young he's not the same age as you Marcus is that why you were saying that yeah I think so fair enough He's not really done anything In management before He's coached under Jesse Marsh at Leeds He's clearly a respected coach And he's come in at League One Club Lincoln And genuinely done an incredible job I mean, they've been fantastic Really from the off So for them to do that is great Good for them Well done then Word for them Vish Or do you not care about the football league?

37:07They think about Aaron Maguire's new contract Well I am, yeah

37:10Marcus Speller: I didn't realise they nearly went out of business in 2002 Y 'all has made quite a few Your ex-boss was there for a bit as well Danny Cowley

37:20Luke Moore: Danny Cowley Below the Premier League you wouldn't believe what goes on

37:24Marcus Speller: It's a mess isn't it, why don't they put it out

37:26Luke Moore: Get rid of it

37:28Marcus Speller: What do they do with all the money that trickles down

37:31Luke Moore: We know trickle down economies flourish

37:33Marcus Speller: Have they thought about pulling themselves up by their bootstrap They need to work harder

37:39Luke Moore: si quieren que haya dinero si quieren que haya dinero si quieren que haya dinero

37:43Marcus Speller: si quieren que haya dinero Hold on we say that there is upward mobility ¿er they in the north? ¿where is Lincoln? ¿are they in the north?

37:51Luke Moore: Don't ask a Londoner about geography but of course what was once the tallest building in the world is in Lincoln

37:58Marcus Speller: oh tell me more about that I mean look they're going to struggle if they certainly for their away game apologies in advance about what he's about to say when they're based in Oregon in the US pero marcos lincoln cathedral

38:12Luke Moore: i don't know at one point was the tallest building in the world that's a lovely little stat if it's true bearing in mind a lot of the world perhaps wasn't that known i'm not sure how they'd know that it is in the north see of course it is and we all know that can i also just bring something to the table saying that lincoln cathedral which was built in 1072 i've got it in front of me was partly damaged en un earthquake en 1185 known as the East Midlands Earthquake. Do you know what I was about to say? When you said it was the North, I was thinking, is it technically Midlands?

38:43Marcus Speller: Not really the North. Lincolnshire's Midlands. Yeah, yeah, you are absolutely right. It's described as a post-town.

38:48Luke Moore: Just stop reading whatever you're reading, okay?

38:50Marcus Speller: What, good town for afters? Post-town? Apparently. They're called Lincoln City. So they're not a town, are they? What does post-town mean? Post-town meaning. The meaning of post-town is required for all postal addresses in the UK and Ireland. Right. There we go.

39:06Luke Moore: Es un eduario, ¿no? Esto es para todos los que se han preguntado. Esto es mad, ¿no? Talla la stuffa en la vida. La talla building en la vida, de 1311 a 1548. Ahí we go. Surpassed the pyramids. El gran pyramid de Giza. No, no, no. El gran pyramid, el gran pyramid.

39:18Marcus Speller: All of them. No, no, no. El gran de stack them. At the Lincoln Cathedral still. No, no, no. El gran de stack them, pero no se fall into each other, ¿no? Yeah. Es como que se acuerda. Es como que se acuerda a la historia. Es como que se acuerda. This conversation es definitivamente making me think... ¿Qué tal? ¿Qué tal? Well done to Lincoln City, by the way.

39:35Luke Moore: You can see from miles around there. Let's talk about some proper teams. Bit of history, PSG. No, genuinely delighted for Lincoln City. And I remember when Dan Cowley was there, in fact, I don't remember this, I read it on the very good piece the BBC did on Lincoln. Dan Cowley said he wanted people in the area not to be wearing Premier League kits when they're playing football in a park, Lincoln City kits. And he thought that was something that stuck with him. You get into the Championship, y si puedes estar ahí eso es exactamente lo que te lo hacía también some fans of Premier League teams no no no they simplemente won't get it si you've not been in the Championship you don't know how big that league is and for a side like Lincoln City marvellous news Danny Cali is also Ramble folklore because he coined firing the belly head in the freezer did he really I told you it came from him I know he hasn't managed at Lincoln for a few years but he's part of this story right Lavish don't worry we're going to get back to the Champions League now Paris Saint-Germain versus Liverpool tonight at 8pm Arnaz Slott said this year we have been quite experienced in terms of negativity wonderful way of putting that wonderful way of putting it by a man who's quite simply on his way out of the door isn't he let's be perfectly honest he is quite simply on his way out the door and being Dutch and being the type of character he is he was never really anything less than totally honest anyway in sometimes quite an unhelpful way and now the shackles a totally off.

40:58There's a couple of shades lighter

40:59Marcus Speller: than describing yourself as a specialist in failure, isn't it? Basically, yeah.

41:03Luke Moore: What if he had a complete rethink, managed to de Mateo his way to Champions League glory? Is there any way you think that Slott can realistically... Okay, clearly if they go on and win all their games, but they're not going to do that. Do you think there's any way realistically that Slott can save his job?

41:21Marcus Speller: Not now. So the de Mateo thing... I mean, that was obviously

41:25Luke Moore: tongue-in-cheek.

41:26Marcus Speller: No, no, no. pero yo creo que yo pensé que ok, así que yo happened upon un interesante point there porque el Di Matteo thing

41:34Luke Moore: fue

41:36Marcus Speller: ultimately cuando you talk to people who were around Chelsea at that time and certainly the way it was reported at the time fue driven by the players because they had experience of winning things and they came together not in spite of Di Matteo but certainly there was a lot of muscle memory there of what it takes to go far in that competition and band together y casi set el standard de yourselves Chelsea were quite used to doing that Grant was there as well

42:03Luke Moore: I was going to say under Grant under Jose Mourinho those players were used to that type of football

42:09Marcus Speller: exactly what I'm saying nothing about this Liverpool speaks to that does it and the answer to your question as well is that I was of the opinion about two three months ago that if Liverpool deliver slot delivers them Champions League football again a bit of a drop off after a title win que se ha respetado, se puede estar en la job longer. La realidad es ahora que no se ve un futuro long-term con Slott a la helma. They should thank him por lo que he ha hecho porque he won them a league title y no es algo que ha hecho en el primer league. Pero, ultimately, estamos llegando a la carrera de la carrera de él.

42:43Y me ha gustado y me ha gustado si se manejó a la carrera de la carrera de la carrera de la carrera. Para este juego, es muy interesante porque este fixture last season es el hecho de que se puede ser el único que se ha un poco de regrets porque se van a ver en la vida de la vida real nip y tuck dos legs con el PSG y Jumán y se van a ver y se van a ver y puede haber ido la otra vez PSG fueron brillante en una leg pero no bueno, ellos batieron Liverpool

43:11Luke Moore: en Paris pero Harvey Elliott scores for late goal exactamente que es lo que que era grasping para yo, creo que es far más likely que Liverpool fans be watching this game tonight through their fingers rather than thinking y se puede realmente que algo de eso. Que said, Liverpool haven't sido mal en la Champions League this season. They've probably saved a lot of their best stuff for Europe. So, it is an intriguing one. I don't think they're in anywhere near the shape they're in than they played them last time. We have to be reasonable about that. Well, Steven Gerrard has said he's worried for slots if things get any worse.

43:45Well, there's no need to worry, Steven. He's going to lose his job. So, it doesn't matter.

43:51Luke Moore: You've said that you think he's going to lose his job. I do, yeah.

43:53Marcus Speller: ¿Qué es? Porque uno de los temas de la temporada... Put Steven Gerrard, currently unemployed, es worried about... ¿Por qué? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? ¿Vale? Just a sign off his... Just like a little bit of the CV there. Yeah. So people just click it and download it automatically. Yeah, exactly. Si se va a un separate page, brilliant. Si te va a un Steven Gerrard Liverpool into Google Images, it'll just be me holding the European Cup. Just remember that.

44:22Luke Moore: Something that slot won't have done. No, no. I'm worried even if they can see the goal against PSG over two legs, but there we are. Oh, by the way, Xavi Alonso, he's definitely changed his number. He's not interested. If you want to speak to him, you come through me.

44:35Marcus Speller: Just put Steven Gerrard, who wouldn't mind an assistant manager. Yeah, he would consider being assistant to the regional manager.

44:41Luke Moore: ¿Cómo te hace que eso? Si Salah He came out in a mix zone

45:14Marcus Speller: In November Leeds United

45:16Luke Moore: Yeah Yeah fine But Marcus is suggesting There's even more dirt Well quite clearly there is Because What would it be do you reckon? Well if Salah's doing that That's not going to go away Overnight That's something that's been there His performances Not been in the team Blah de blah de blah So that's what I mean I reckon they've kept A lot of it under wraps That there Popped out You know So to speak And so did Salah Sorry about that If you're watching If you're watching on the YouTube You'll know what I mean there The YouTube That's what all the kids call it Watching on the YouTube So what I'm saying is That when Salah goes I wonder if The board might be tempted Those who make the decision To think Actually do you know what That's done with now I wonder how it would be With Slott going forward No The answer to that is no I just wanted to know What you thought

46:03Marcus Speller: Because I agree with you Do you not think Part of the board Will also be thinking Gracias por hacer el difícil, pero también ya, ya se puede ir a la plaza con él. Quite posible. ¿Qué más para el marquise, brother? ¡Nos! El man que pases la sentence must swing the sword.

46:22Luke Moore: Bueno, ahí estamos. Good luck to Liverpool tonight en Paris. Gracias por escuchar el Football Ramble, part de la ACAST Creator Network. Friends of the Ramble, no te voy a ir.
