  • Solid, Pardew, gas
    Jun 5 2024

    We’re in the midst of the summer perineum which can only mean two things, England gearing up for an international tournament and Alan Pardew being linked with a return to management.


    Today, Marcus, Luke, Andy and Jim are here to check in on England’s Euro 2024 preparations, which results in Andy comparing Conor Gallagher to David Beckham. Elsewhere, silly season has truly started as Steve Bruce and Frank Lampard are also all being linked with new jobs. Plus, Man City are suing the Premier League. Obviously…

  • Ramble Reacts: England’s outsiders make their case
    Jun 3 2024

    It’s a Lions Watch takeover on today’s Ramble Reacts, as Marcus and Luke discuss the opening act of England’s Hot Girl Summer. If ever you needed proof that this team mean business: they beat two sides in one go last night. Kapow, take that.


    The boys chat about whether the likes of Eberechi Eze and Jack Grealish will snag a seat on the plane and ask if that slight lack of spark or invention was just down to end-of-season fatigue, or something more concerning. Plus, we’re split down the middle on Ollie Watkins vs Ivan Toney!

  • The Empire Strikes Back (again)
    Jun 3 2024

    Marcus, Luke and Vish pull the curtain down on the season, as the Baron Samedi of European football won their 15th Big One™. We celebrate some spectacular performances from the likes of Vinicius Jr and Lenny Kravitz, and wonder if Dortmund probably should’ve won it.


    Elsewhere, the Dutch FA have proposed a new footballing rule book and are looking to legalise it, Emperor Mourinho’s arrival in Turkey divides the studio and England’s summer of glory begins TONIGHT!

  • Mailbag: Will we miss this version of the Champions League?
    Jun 1 2024

    Ahead of the Champions League’s impending changes, Marcus, Jim and Andy look back over some of their favourite moments from this era of the competition - from peak Jose Mourinho shithousing to some of the defining teams and managers synonymous with that magical anthem.


    Plus, we wonder which English players could benefit from a move abroad and we wrestle with a truly baffling hypothetical dilemma standing between England and Euros glory.

  • The Preview Show: Lunin Tunes
    May 31 2024

    We’re on the eve of the Champions League final! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy are getting in the mood by trying to work out what medicine Andriy Lunin is using to recover from the illness that is keeping him out of the final.


    Elsewhere, Luke and Andy show genuine fear at the prospect of José Mourinho managing in Turkey and we hear about an amateur side that won 43-1 on the final day of the season to win the title. Remarkable…

  • Lions Watch: Does Gareth Southgate use his substitutes enough?
    May 30 2024

    With just a couple of weeks until the Euros kicks off, we’re pretty sure about how Gaz’s Gang will line up in their opening game against Serbia - but how should he use his substitutes? And does Gareth Southgate have a track record of failing to properly implement changes from the bench?


    Elsewhere, Ashley Young provides the Take Thermometer with its spiciest offering so far and we wonder if Gareth will bring back the waistcoat as a nostalgia play.

  • Diet Pep
    May 29 2024

    Enzo Maresca looks set to be the new Chelsea manager as he is rumoured to have agreed a potential six-year contract with the club. Don’t you dare suggest that Chelsea won’t honour all six years of that contract!


    Today, Marcus, Andy, Vish and Pete explain why they think Maresca is perfect for the Chelsea role and why Leicester should hire Jamie Vardy as player manager. Plus, they question whether fans are getting value for money after Premier League clubs announce they are increasing the price of season tickets for next season.
