It’s blue ribbons and cowboy hats on today’s Ramble, as Man City claim another consecutive league title and Leeds stayed up by the skin of Wout Weghorst’s foot. Marcus, Luke and Jim are here to recap it all! Liverpool put up an excellent fight and were left a point short, while Arsenal put on an end-of-year picnic for a job (somewhat) well done.

Order of the Bruce Empire

5/17/2022

St James’ Park erupted last night and, inevitably, Arsenal were caught choking in the Geordie volcano’s noxious fumes. Bring out the lasagnes! Marcus, Pete and Jim look back on a disastrous night for the Gunners in their Champions League chase, while Huddersfield battled their way to Wembley.

Careful, them ghosts are real

5/11/2022

Careful, them ghosts are real Liverpool kept their title hopes alive, but Man City have already taken a huge step towards next season’s crown by picking up Area 51’s Erling Haaland in Vincent Kompany’s disused ambulance.
