Sweet Carabao

Malick and the Jets

It really isn't transfer deadline day until Gary Cotterill makes a fool of himself, is it? Luckily for us, he very much delivered on that front. What's good for the Rambl

Relinquish the ball

Pete and Vish have ditched the other Ramblers (slugs) and have been given the keys to today’s pod. There was a deluge of debuts at Villa Park last night and today the la
