An underrated part of the pod is hearing which wacky TV broadcasting jobs James Richardson is taking next. The guy should have fired his agent years ago.

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.

Sean Ingle? His opinions are usually hesitant and full of hemming and hawing, happy to point out exceptions to the rule that might be technically correct but also prevent people from elevating the discussion to make broad assertions.

You misunderstand, I just wanted to take a pot shot at Barry Glendenning. As in, he is so poo poo, he is worse than Sean Ingle.

The other three more than make up for it though.

Jim? Yeah I certainly hear that.

I've mentioned it before but I have a football man crush on Luke - he's got some fantastic opinions every week that he clearly and concisely conveys. Puts those folks on Football Weekly to shame.

For my sweet sixteen
Jim (the Arsenal fan) is the one with glasses.
Pete (the Newcastle fan) is the one in the sleeveless robe thing.
Luke (the Portsmouth fan) is the big scruffy one.
And obviously the other one is Marcus.

Also I agree with other posters that Luke is the best and Pete is the worst.

At the moment, he seems to have a stable TV gig going for him as the presenter of Sunday Night European Football with James Horncastle, Raphael Hongstein, and Julian Laurens on BT Sports 1. He also seems to always do the World Strongest Man thing too.

I'm really surprised at this, imo Luke Moore has some of the most basic obvious opinions in the world, that he delivers as though he's making some great important point. Every week he'll go in for a few big self-righteous grandstand of outrage about something, stressing half the words and finishing with some quickfire combination of "its a joke its a disgrace its completely out of order you just can not do that at this level". Pete Donaldson does do it too sometimes.

Luke also pronounces more names wrong than he does right but that's stopped bothering me as much.

I like most things about the Ramble and I think Luke is mostly pretty funny for 80% of the podcast, but I roll my eyes every time when he starts going off in "making an important point" mode. Although admittedly I can never remember which one is Jim and which one is Marcus so I'm not a particularly invested listener.

Fair enough. I like his thinking on most matters though and I suppose maybe my man crush comes from the fact that no one on Football Weekly offers absolutely no opinion with any conviction or evidence.

Oh what fun it is to see the Harriers win away!

Hats off to the Football Ramble for actually mentioning how we made a game of our trip to Sunderland - FW didn't mention us at all despite having a Sunderland fan on the panel, while The Game mentioned us in passing with Bournemouth in a "what if someone did a shock, what a bad round it was".

He is actually the anchor for Bein Sport (Al Jazeera) international coverage including weekly panel and build up shows which I'd say is a actually a pretty massive gig although it wouldn't have any viability in UK. The show's and analysis are quite high quality too
