Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 16.6k ratings
  • Best general football podcast

    I tried listening to other generic pods throughout the World Cup and none do it as well as the Ramble team. Fun, funny and sometimes insightful, I listen religiously. Now they’ve had on Adam Clery as a guest, even better!

  • Just really good.

    Only football podcast I listen to and I love it. Briefly leaving a 1star review to flag up the problems with audio since the video option came in. Podcast constantly restarts and can’t be skip through. If you listen when driving it is very annoying and a little dangerous… Sorry. But is there any chance this can be sorted with Apple. No other podcast in my feed does this.

  • All just a big shame

    Seemed to have joined most of the formerly decent football media coverage (sky sports, the Guardian etc.), that these days are resorting to a talksport/twitter/YouTube approach of ignoring context and facts to say something to get a reaction. Also you always seem to talk over Jim when he tries to make sensible reasoned points. Still being on x is pretty disgusting as is any association with The Sun.
