Happy new year Ramblers! See ya later, 2024. Let's be having you 2025.

New year, same old Ramble, but should football stay the same? Well, given its current state, perhaps a few changes could bring a bit of normality back to the game (or in Pete's case, even more beautiful chaos).

Join Marcus, Pete & Andy as they propose the changes they'd like to see in football in 2025, plus we hear the best of your suggestions too!

Marcus and Jim pick through the crumbling wreckage after Manchester United 0-2 Newcastle United, in a game that threatened to descend into one of the most embarrassing affairs Old Trafford might have ever seen.

We wonder what Ruben Amorim is playing at and decide Alexander Isak is the best footballer in the universe. Plus, the Tractor Boys pick up their first home win of the season, Aston Villa continue to struggle under the weight of the fixture list and a certain former England manager gets a knighthood - you know what that means…

Sure, Liverpool are charging ahead, but we have to start with the biggest question to emerge from another cracking festive football weekend: are Nottingham Forest in a title race?! How about them Tricky Trees!

Join Marcus, Luke and Jim on the final show of the Christmas perineum as Spurs generate more shoulder shrugs, Mo Salah continues his era-defining form and the Jim Ratcliffe villain arc takes an even more depressing turn. The Barclays truly never stops!

We've seen Pep Guardiola and Ange Postecoglou both talk about the extreme pressures of being an elite-level football manager recently. Do us impatient football fans make their jobs harder?

Plus, are 'goal shows' which actually show the goals the way to solve the 3pm black-out? And what have been our favourite football moments of 2024?

Join Pete, Andy & Luke as they answer your questions.
