Yeah, I am. Judging by the replies The Ramble is far from lad culture? Is it like chavs then? I thought lads were better than chavs? Can someone post the whole hierarchy of English men please?

If you want to hear lad culture you want to listen to TalkSport. Especially the people calling in.

It's 3-4 lads who are the same trying to do the Ricky Gervais laugh and then read a bit from wikipedia about a dead footballer and say "ooo he's brilliant, wonnit"?

Big world though, innit.

Yeah, they don't do the DWHOF anymore which wasn't particularly interesting. However I would argue only one of them rips
off Gervais/Partridge.

Again, you're welcome not to like it, but your grasp of lad culture/"chavs" is way off the mark.

I like both Football Weekly and the Ramble, although, truth be told, I prefer posh cunts over lads, chavs and nerds.

When I first listened to it, I thought the Ramble was a bit "laddish", but it's really not like that at all. From the outside, it's a little like that, just like how if you just flicked onto an Adam Curtis documentary, you might think it was some Loose Change bullshit, but it really isn't.

Give it a go, although it may not translate outside of the British Isles as well as some of the others, idk.

I want to harm Sean Ingle. How he gets pundit gigs is beyond me. Irritating voice, inability to say things without reverting to betting odds, and a total lack of relevant knowledge. The last pod contained the choice quotes "Bayerns problem is possession is too easy to defend against", and "Mandzukic is not really a top class striker".

Yeah, he's awful. He just gets picked because he's got a good gig in the Guardian's website hierarchy. I think they just use him as filler.

For awhile he was the only one besides jimbo who had any personality on the show. In recent years he's seemed permanently hung over, and doesn't do anything but admit to never watching any games and occasionally chiming in with awful opinions.

loving HELL. Awful Football Weekly. Sean Ingle and Barry are unsufferable. The former picking at James every second and being straight up wrong (he says the perception that there's been lots of twists is wrong, WIT?! Also about City being off top for so long because of their games in hand). Barry, the loving moron, suggesting genuinely that Poyet is his manager of the year, over loving Rodgers. Ugh. Glad this shite has gone.

Ingle is a loving idiot and genuinely has no understanding or appreciation of football. Smugly going "no my article will blow your points away" and then not having any points. Barry can at least do the contrarian stuff and back it with an argument, even if its stupid. Ingle is insufferable and I honestly still like FW and even loving Steinberg.

Ingle is terrible and Jimbo was clearly gettit annoyed with him but why are you so pissed at Barry's choice? He gives a fair enough rationalization and he's right that Liverpool bottled it.

I almost fist-pumped in the car when Jimbo said there would be a FW extra with Philippe and Michael Cox. And thankfully Jacob Steinberg is too shy to talk over them.

Poyet done well over a handful of games, no doubt but Brendan did far better over 38.
