Football Ramble

One foot in a bucket of Carabao

Football recently lost one of its greats. Today, Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish remember Franz Beckenbauer – a player who reinvented his position and whose name has more significance than almost anyone else in the sport, though not without controversy. Elsewhere, Marcus jinxes Middlesbrough after their historic win against Chelsea last night, before we ask the question on everyone's lips: why haven't Man United signed Jesse Lingard yet?! Jim then puts some well-deserved cake in Marcus’ face after Dominic Calvert-Lewin has his three-match suspension for getting sent off against Crystal Palace overturned.  Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/FootballRamble" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/footballramble/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@footballramble?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TikTok</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/FootballRamble/videos" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, and email us here: <a href="mailto:show@footballramble.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">show@footballramble.com</a>.
