Ask OTC: Lukaku’s fate, Schlotterbeck’s choice and an English legend at Cesena

If at first you don't succeed, fail, fail again
Yet another disastrous qualification campaign has ended with Italy failing to reach the World Cup for the third successive time. First under Gian Piero Ventura in 2017, then in 2022 with Roberto Mancini, and now in 2026 under the management of Gennaro Gattuso.Nicky Bandini joins Dotun and Andy to express her disappointment, but it's not all doom and gloom! There was euphoria for Sweden, Türkiye, and the Czech Republic as they all qualified to play in North America. And finally, back in club football, Bayern Munich's Harry Kane is out with an injury sustained while on international duty.

Ask OTC: Salah’s next move, Lens’ fixture dispute and could Klopp return?
The news of Mohamed Salah's Liverpool exit reverberated across the football world. Some have linked him to the Saudi Pro League, others to MLS - but would staying in Europe actually be his best move?

Just don't mess it up
Italy, we send you one simple message ahead of your World Cup play-off semi-final against Northern Ireland tonight. Please, all you have to do is not screw it up.

Plus, after La Liga's most drawn out transfer story of all time, Antoine Griezmann is finally set to leave Atlético Madrid for Orlando City in the summer!

De Klassieker exposes Ajax and Feyenoord's flaws
There was a time when De Klassieker represented the very best that Dutch football had to offer. Long gone are the days of Frenkie de Jong, Wesley Sneijder, Dirk Kuyt and of course the countless Netherlands legends who passed through Feyenoord and Ajax in the 20th century. What we're left with are two sides nowhere near the standard of title contenders.Andy is joined by Dutch journalist Kalum van Oudheusden - who was at the game - to dissect all the biggest talking points. Is time running out for Robin van Persie? What has happened to Ajax's legendary youth academy? And is Raheem Sterling living up to the lofty expectations placed on him?Ask us a question on X, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: [email protected] ad-free shows, head over to our Patreon and subscribe: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Barcelona smoke Sevilla with one eye on Newcastle
Five goals, a Raphinha hat-trick, Gavi returning to action, and still resting some legs: Barcelona couldn't have asked for a better prelude to their Champions League second leg against Newcastle.Andy and David discuss their 5-2 victory over Sevilla in a game that – once more – put the importance of Raphinha to this team in block capitals. More surprising was the return of vintage João Cancelo. Did this game show why Barcelona must try to sign him permanently? We also take a closer look at Sevilla's woes and discuss how Barcelona might try and neutralise – or avoid – Newcastle's physicality on Wednesday night.Ask us a question on X, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: [email protected] ad-free shows, head over to our Patreon and subscribe: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Ask OTC: Fede Valverde’s true position, Nice’s possible relegation and a Roman revolution

Could he become a mainstay in Real's attack?Andy and Dotun are joined by Lars Sivertsen to decipher that. Also, what will Julian Brandt's legacy be at Borussia Dortmund?

The resilience of champions
The French media were insistent that Paris Saint-Germain came into their game against Chelsea as underdogs. Well, they certainly proved those critics wrong.

Somehow, are the defending champions the dark horse to win it all?Lars Sivertsen joins Dotun and Andy to heap praise on Luis Enrique's side.

Milan win the Derby della Madonnina
We thought the door was shut, but have Milan blown the Serie A title race wide open again?

Ask OTC: Real Madrid's expectations, Flamengo's puzzling decision, and Portugal's Nordic takeover
At Real Madrid, losing isn’t acceptable. Drawing isn’t acceptable. Conceding can feel like failure. Álvaro Arbeloa has done the unthinkable: two defeats in a row - first to Osasuna, then to Getafe at the Bernabéu. So, how tenuous is the Spaniard's position?Dotun and Andy are joined by David Cartlidge to answer that. Also, could Oliver Glasner replace Jürgen Klopp at Red Bull? Why did Flamengo sack Filipe Luís after he won the double?

This is Atleti
In typical Atlético Madrid style, Diego Simeone's side have dragged themselves into the Copa del Rey final kicking and screaming. Only this Atleti team could turn a 4-0 lead from the first leg into a nerve-wracking finish. But their fans won't care!David Cartlidge joins Dotun and Andy to discuss what that result means for both Atleti and Barça. Plus, Bayer Leverkusen get a much-needed win to keep them in the fight for the Champions League places, and Marseille have the most Marseille week after two vastly different results at the Vélodrome.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected] up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Bayern win Der Klassiker!
There's no 'good time' to play Bayern Munich, but in the form they've been in this season, any Bundesliga side would rightly head into that game expecting a thrashing. Borussia Dortmund gave them a right good go! Ultimately though, there simply is no stopping the juggernaut that Vincent Kompany has assembled.Archie Rhind-Tutt was at Signal Iduna Park and joined Andy Brassell to dissect a thriller in North Rhine-Westphalia.Ask us a question on X, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: [email protected] ad-free shows, head over to our Patreon and subscribe: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Ask OTC: Italian embarrassment, Real Madrid's ugly side, and Barça's election season
It's no exaggeration to say that this season has been calamitous for Italian football. Almost every Serie A team is out of the Champions League, the national team faces a World Cup playoff, and the stadia are decaying. So how did it all go wrong, and more importantly, how can things be put right?David Cartlidge joins Andy and Dotun to answer that. Also, the guys discuss Real Madrid's historic associations with the far-right, Barcelona’s presidency, and the chances of Paris FC avoiding a relegation scrap.Ask us a question on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: [email protected] ad-free shows, head over to our Patreon and subscribe: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Mountains are there to be climbed
It was a night of comebacks in the Champions League. Atalanta succeeded in knocking Borussia Dortmund off of their perch, and Juventus came oh so close to producing a classic in Turin. After the curtain fell though, just one of Italy's four teams made it through to the next round. Is Italian football in crisis?David Cartlidge joins Dotun and Andy to debate that. Plus, Bodø/Glimt make history after dismantling Serie A's Champions elect. Just how did they do it? And things are heating up in the race for the top four in Germany.

PSG pass muster against Monaco
It was advantage PSG after a close first leg, so no wonder they were rattled after Monaco took the lead at the Parc des Princes. Despite a late Parisian comeback, Monaco’s promising start left us thinking: why did they take their foot off the gas? And, after a nervy start, can PSG retain their European crown?On a wild night in the Champions League, join Andy and Jonathan Johnson live in Paris to dissect a confusing Monaco, a decisive sending-off and a resurgent PSG, who ensured their progression to the round of 16Ask us a question on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: [email protected] ad-free shows, head over to our Patreon and subscribe: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Ask OTC: Nick Woltemade's future, Marseille uncertainty, and how to sink the Super League
'Idiots' was the term that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge used to describe Newcastle after they paid £69m for German striker Nick Woltemade. Six months into his Newcastle career and he has seven Premier League goals - a mixed return. With reports of unrest and speculation mounting over a possible exit, was Rummenigge right?Dotun, Andy and Nicky Bandini are here to offer their assessment. Also, is the Serie A title race over?

Pick on someone your own size
The Champions League's 'Big Boys' are well used to giving the competition's smaller teams a spanking... but not this week! Up in the Arctic Circle Bodø/Glimt pulled off another shock by beating Inter 3-1, and Atlético Madrid were punished too after drawing 3-3 at Club Brugge on Wednesday. Won't the real big boys please stand up!Nicky Bandini joins Dotun and Andy to discuss a chaotic midweek of action. Are Juventus out of Europe already?

Ask OTC: Should UEFA boycott the World Cup?
In 2018, FIFA member states voted overwhelmingly to give the USA, Canada and Mexico hosting rights for the 2026 World Cup, a decision hailed as historic for the sport's breakthrough into the US mainstream. Eight years later, there are renewed calls for UEFA to boycott the tournament after Donald Trump made clear his intention to potentially invade Greenland - but how realistic is this prospect?Miguel Delaney joins Dotun and Andy to ruminate on that.

Ask OTC: Tammy leaves Türkiye, embarrassment for Atléti, and going crazy for Cresswell
After a seven-year hiatus, Tammy Abraham is back in the Premier League, at Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.

Milan and Roma fail to close the gap on Inter

The Kompany man
Bayern Munich just will not stop winning! So why isn't anybody talking them up as genuine Champions League challengers?
