About this episode

Well, it's happened: the chickens of football's overindulgence have come home to roost, as Lionel Messi joins the dark side. At least Jules is back for her first Ramble of the season! 


She's joined by Jim and Pete to pick through that depressing rubble, recap some tasty action from the Carabao Cup and wonder whether Tanguy Ndombele will ever play again.
