It was discontinued, they referenced it a few eps back and basically said it's gone (for now).

I think they stopped it because it was literally reading wikipedia for an hour.

The hall of fame was the worst part of the show imo and now it's gone the ramble is my favourite football podcast.

It was only good if it was a player they'd actually seen a lot of, which is basically people who had played in the premier league. Everyone else just had their wikipedia page read out like bbb said.

I get the wikipedia thing, and I think they just did it too often. Seems like something you would do monthly at most with a little bit more preparation and insight. I liked the non-player bits about specific tournaments, famous matches or stadiums.

I still love FW but granted what I enjoy about it is the random anecdotes (like Jimbo's story about the Bruce family decorating a communal area) rather than the football punditry

FW's still good, it's just been going on for ages and we all know what to expect by now. I found some 2006 World Cup episodes on an unused laptop recently...that makes me feel old.

FW's best part is Jimbo's dumb jokes, imo.

I suspect last Thursday's pod was quite good because of the man-on-man-on-man chemistry going on there. Jimbo and Horncastle get along because Serie A, and Iain Macintosh's flamboyant side is fun to listen to.

Agreed. Whenever Jimbo isn't hosting the pod it's a lot duller.

His intro's are so good.
The one where he introduced everyone and was stating their accomplishments and for Amy Lawrence, he said "a woman" was so funny because it's a lame joke but caught me off guard.

I had to check if the extract from Garth Crooks's team of the week they read out on the Ramble was real.

Garth Crooks posted:

FORWARD - WAYNE ROONEY (Man Utd)

I was speaking to my uncle Ben on Saturday and said that Aaron Ramsey was almost certain to be the unanimous choice for footballer of the year. He took the glass of champagne out of my hand and said: 'You mean Wayne Rooney, don't you?' I told him that he had made a very good point and promptly went home.

What the gently caress?

Last weeks two FW pods were dire. I've not heard today's (it's usually a Tuesday morning affair for me) but if Ingle is anywhere near it I might just not bother. Sick to death of him and his awful nerdy voice.

I realize the other European leagues have been on a break but gently caress sake, it's just EPL EPL EPL nowadays. Turgid. 40 minutes on Chelsea, Arsenal and how poo poo West Ham are. Yuck.

I swear, one episode recently had a lot of discussions of the big English game, for 20 minutes, then he trailed part two with, "More EPL!" Honestly, man, gently caress off.

Well its an English podcast and to be fair, England has the only leagues worth discussing.

It's a podcast from an British newspaper with a British presenter and a mostly British panel, broadcasting to a mostly British audience. If anything they don't cover the Championship enough.

At least Ingles has a go at some sort of opinion, unlike Glendenning who slurs an occasional grunt out at Jimbo in response to questions, when he's not telling some pub anecdote.

Glendenning is the worst part of football weekly by far. He brings nothing to the discussion.

you've got at least a 37% chance of Ingle not understanding how betting or statistics work in every podcast.
