A proper Barclays bash

Join Marcus, Jim and Vish as we recap the biggest game of the season so far, where Arsenal had to be at their dastardly, ugly best to keep Man City at bay.

Farewell, Sven

We kick off today’s raving Ramble with the most important question to emerge from the opening rounds of the Premier League: is Lars Sivertsen’s Dad a better golfer than Kim Jong Un?We do find time to round up the rest of the weekend’s action, as the league’s newcomers are already struggling and Man City continue to meet their scarcely believable standards. Plus, Marcus delivers his verdict on Oasis’ reunion and we spot a wild Wayne Rooney having the strangest of all the solo pints…FYI, we recorded this episode before news broke of the sad passing of Sven-Göran Eriksson - so we jumped back in the studio to say a few words about one of our favourite football men.
