Mailbag: What should Premier League clubs do to compensate for the end of FA Cup replays?

It's FA Cup weekend, ladies and gents. Unfortunately though, if non-league Tamworth get a draw against Spurs, they won't be getting a replay at Tottenham. Obviously that's a crying shame, but what should the teams at the top of English football do to compensate those at the bottom?Marcus, Luke, and Andy also ask whether José Mourinho would make a good firefighter manager and respond to your suggestions about the gadgets Richard Keys could hand over to Andy Gray, the new James Bond.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

Ramble Reacts: Nottingham Forest outfox Wolves

Marcus and Vish discuss Nottingham Forest’s latest victory to make it SIX wins in a row! And this was a proper profesh one.They discuss why Morgan Gibbs-White giving some back to the booing Wolves fans is everything you want to see, the *very* nomadic Supercoppa Italiana, and the even more nomadic Thomas Tuchel. On this very episode, we also exclusively reveal his first hire: Pete Donaldson as assistant manager of dodgy Amazon Fire Sticks.

A vulnerable conk

Phwoar!We also take on The Trent Alexander-Arnold Situation and what happens next, while there’s special concern for Anthony Gordon after his UNESCO World Heritage conk gets another bash. Plus, Ivan Jurić brings less death metal than deathly silence at St Mary’s and Marcus issues a BIG prediction about Harry Kane’s England successor.

Mailbag: Why have Ferguson’s players never become great managers?

After Wayne Rooney’s dismissal this week, it means yet another of Sir Alex Ferguson’s greatest proteges has found the managerial hot seat far too hot. A listener asks Marcus, Luke and Vish why this keeps happening.Plus, why have there suddenly been so many disruptors to the so-called ‘top six’ in recent years? What’s the point of pre-match press conferences? And for some reason, we imagine what Andy Gray would have sounded like cast as James Bond.Remember, you can only get in touch with the show if you have a verified X account.
