Edward Jones, member SIPC. Hello everybody. Welcome to the football ramble. It's Friday afternoon. It's Jackson, Cyclopedia. I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Jim Campbell. And I am Pete Donaldson. Oh, Marcus. Oh, Marcus. You are in a little bit of a hole at this moment in time. Still got the jacks belt. Yeah. Look at that grin. I hear the fire alarm. Yes. Last week Marcus Speller suffered a 5-0 gumbeng. Oh, Jim, suffer Marcus's benefit. We're going to be cheering again this week. Jackson, Cyclopedia. Thank you. Just it's like Chris Downer and Aldo. We're just having to sort of move the go-up. Moving the go-up, what's happening? Yes. And Jim has been gracious enough to grant him a rematch

in a different chord. Jim, you were in the bar. Jim, you were in the rematch. I'm hammering. I'm hammering. Can I play you every week? It's what he was chanting. It's worth noting that Marcus has been from last season's carried over. So today the Jackson Cyclopedia belt is on the line. If you don't know the rules, they're simple. It's a game of categories. I will give a category. And then we will go around each of you to see if you can give me a valid answer. If you go to a slot, I'll press account down time and I'll leave you six seconds to answer. Marcus, you're going to go first. Thank goodness. You want to basically write the wrongs from Biddy-Biddy last week? Well, obviously we're not playing Biddy-Anne. No, I can't do that directly, but what I can do is... Because you were quite regressive, wouldn't it be fair to say? Or were you... I can't remember. I think you were quite soft. You applied a soft touch to the first one. You never really got it back. Never got it back. So you're going to come out the traps with aggression. I'm going to hit him. He's going to play a different game, is that? I'm going to punch him on the nose. You're right. It's a very, very different game. But the same opponent. We're going to start, Marcus, with...

OK, come on. Speller family members, please. The 20 oldest players to feature in the Premier League this season. The 20... Well, you've got at least a one round in here. The 20 oldest players to feature in the Premier League this season. Oh, God. Blimey. This is a really tricky one. It is a tricky one. OK. Any other oldest players here? Let's start things off, Marcus. Jordan Henderson? Yes, he's in there. Jim Campbell. Donnie Welbeck. Yeah, I thought you might. I thought you might. Yeah. This is the feature. The 20 oldest players... Tom Kerney? Ooh. Oh, he's not played. Oh, no. Oh, no. Blimey, bad start.

Pascal Gross? Yeah, we'll play. Correct. Well done. Nice, easy. John Herson players. Yes, good. Adam Smith. Alice Sun. Alice Lennon. Glenn O'Kallum Wilson. Chris Wood, Emilia Anna Martin-Nez, Fabian Shah, granite Jacka, Harry Maguire. It's in the top 20 oldest players. James Tarkowski, John Egan, Lewis Dunck, Mark Abiesel, and Matt Cells. Oh, yes. And Thomas Mounier, Virgin Monday, and Walter Benitez. Okay. So, to me, younger players, I was really... Yeah. Without kind of age frame, that was quite difficult, isn't it? Yeah, of course. That is on the Arbolovo not only. Donnie Welbeck, Benitez is 33. Yeah. Is the Premier getting younger? Yeah. Or certainly wants to be featuring. Get it, you get it. Anyway, right. So it's Marcus and Neil Jim, one, Jim. We turn to you, my friend, in a lovely jacket. Thank you. Tis the season. Nearly. Many managers who have made the best starts in Premier League history in their first 10

games after being appointed. They have to have been there from the start of the season, and answers can't be said twice. The 23 managers who have made the best starts in Premier League history in the first 10 games after being appointed. They have to have been there from the start of the season. Answers can't be said twice. Okay. So I have a thing. I'll give you a little bit longer than I usually do, because you know, I'm nice. Ah, and a slot. Yeah, well played. Uh, Joseph Marinya. Oh, okay. Joseph Marinya is obviously a big one, isn't he? This is very tricky, because some really, really good managers took a little while to get going. Um. Oh, dear. Carlo Angelotti. Oh, good one. Yes. Um. Surely, Sir Alex Ferguson. Um. No.

Hard, yeah. Going to. One for the comments and my stick with the Chelsea. Yeah, you know, I'm going to stick around and go for Antonio Conte. Yeah, that was. I didn't run down here. Correct. I mean, that's madness Ferguson. Theory me. So who are the other ones? So you could have gone for Andrea Vien Spurs. You could have had Angiapot's co-glued. I had to hold hands down. Bobby Gold. Bobby Gold. Bruce Ryock. Wow. Cloudy O'Ranieri, Eric Tedharg, Frank Lampard. Um, Joseph Marinya, uh, Chelsea twice, obviously. Uh, Luis Felipe Escalari, Manuel Peligrini, Sarri Walker, Mike Walker. Um, see, who's Mike Walker? Norwich. Norwich. Um, Pec Guardiola, Roberto Dutero. Do you know what I thought about? Yeah, but it wasn't that funny season. This is the problem. It's the first 10 games. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Roberto Martinez, Ronald Cumman, Roy Hunchen, Slavin Bellic, Sven, uh, and Unai Emery. Of course. I thought about it. So it's not a straight forward. No, it's really an interesting one.

What is straight forward? It was Jim Battering me. It's a straight forward Battering. Um, Marcus. Yes. Um, you need to pick it. I need something out of this. I want to point for ages of these. Yeah. Um, if you think, literally, I think you might, yeah, I think you might get something out of this. Every goalkeeper, Marcus, in the Premier League, to register two or more assists. Every goalkeeper in the Premier League of all time, every goalkeeper in the Premier League to register two or more assists. Edison. Yes. Yeah, I'm very confident with that. Of course. I remember that happening. Um, Alison. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. Yeah. Alison as well. David Raya. Oh, I think you might have one. Marcus, Marcus, Marcus, Marcus. Marcus, Marcus, Marcus. That's, that's, that's, that's not me. Why is that? It's come on. Well, I just said, think, literally, how is that thrown you? Good. I want to say, like, I want to say, like, think, like, think, like, a cross-field ball or something.

Well, um, I think, like, literally, how can I throw someone like that? I know. You, I thought you would eat really a minute. You might get back in here though, Marcus, because this is a really, really difficult one. So two assists or more in the Premier League. Okay. Let me have a little thing about this. Hmm. Just he was there a long time. Peter Schmiker. Yeah, that's the one I had down there. Yeah. Easy. That's what I would have said, but were you lateral, bloody thinking? Yeah. I'm struggling to see why me saying, think, literally about something. As in, think about goalkeepers who may have been in the Premier League for a long time. That's not lateral. That's obvious. Anyway, it's more like that. Well, that's, let's hear them. Zero out of three. Chris Kirk, Linda, David James, David Seaman, Edwin van der Sarr, Jonas Lossel. Jordan Jorgon Pickford. You see Yaskalainen. I do. Kevin Presman.

Love it here, him on the show. Lucas Favianski, Mark Crossley, Mark Fleck and Paul Robinson, Pepe Reiner, Petty Chek, Scott Carson, Shack in his Lops, Sheregiven, Tim Flowers, Tim Howard and Tim Crowell, lot of Tim's in there. That's so many. That's so many more than you would have thought. I'd have thought that had been about 12 of those. Right. Yeah. It's just the ones that have been there for a while. It's the white wash then. Right. Jim, from the Tim's to the Jim. Mark has said last week that I was an underrated bad winner. Right. Okay. Just an opportunity for me to grow this, isn't it? It is. Don't think, literally, please, Jim. Okay. You've thrown me there. Throw me there. Right. Every player start for both teams in the 2024 Euro's final between England and Spain. Okay. Every player to start, and it's me to go first, is it? Jordan Pickford. Jordan Pickford. Yes. Car Walker. Car Walker. Yes.

Harry Kane. You did. Who should I go for? Luke Shaw. That's correct. Roderie. Roderie. Taken and Rice. Taken and Rice. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Taken and Rice. Okay. Sakka. Jude Bellingham. Yep. I'm not a joys gunner at this video, Marcus. It's only this question in the comments. Really, really has. It's nothing you're paying. You're a nice final. Schmickler Yazabel. Oh. Came on. Oh, did he? Oh. He's good. Didn't need the... Oh, Marcus, that's everyone. Phil Foden. Phil Foden. Well done, Marcus. Got a point. He avoided the whitewash. That's a foundation. Got a point.

Last week was a white wash. Yeah. Back on track. Back on track. He didn't think last really. Marcus has turned every player with seven or more goals in nation's league history. Every player with seven or more goals in nation's league history. If only this row would come earlier. If only it had a hurricane. Hurricane. Hurricane. Dada, dada, dada. Oh, yeah. Oh, did he? Really? Really? No, he's not a big game player. He only wins three. He's against San Marino. That's crazy. That is crazy. That is a bit crazy. He's got six goals. So he's just... Oh, got it. Just put him in the cutoff. Romelu Lukaku. Oh. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. There we go. How many are there? I'd Robert Lewandowski down as well, because I know that here in Lukaku has got a phenomenal amount of international goals alongside Kane. Robert Lewandowski is not in there. He's just now in Ronaldo.

He's... Alexander Mitrovich. You know, I saw the sawloft. You know, I'm back at Setas. And Estasios. Vendezion Seshko. You can have had Christian Erickson. Daniel Sinani. Edinzeko. Erling Harlan Ferrantore's Gerson Rodriguez. Ferris Ferrovich. Oh, God. Janis. Janis. Econ Jix. Camichu Kaffirat-Gerrier. You can have had Killingham Bappem. And Fister Pai. Michy Batchewai. And Miguel Osabal. Ayazabal. Stefan Magus. Tim Mupuki. Tim Mupuki. That's Tim Mupuki. That's Tim Mupuki. More than Harry Kelly. Tim Mupurna, Vedant Muriki. And Victor Giochanesh. Wow. Big day. Yeah, so that's a comprehensive list. Well, that's just really unlucky. You've been really unlucky there. How is the cat? How is Harry Kelly? Harry Kelly. Let me down on scoring charts. But ultimately, I can flap around. I've let myself down. Well, Jim, the belt is yours. Yes, actually. He's not. I forgot about that. Well, top.

Luke had to go at me for touching it. Once when I didn't, when I wasn't about the holder of it. Well, don't click every trick. Hey, Jim. Varnage of that. Yes. What a lovely little belt. Oh, yeah. Lovely little belt. Exactly. I'll look after this for now. And I do mean for now. You've had it for a long time, Mark, hasn't it? The only because of the summer. Well, I don't know what I'm going to do. I need to throw in the tail. Yeah. Maybe think laterally. Maybe that's what it is. Start thinking laterally. Maybe that's what it is. Yeah, because Peter Schmarke and David Suben should have been lateral thinking. I think it's fairly lateral, isn't it? I don't, I still don't really understand the complaint. I'll be honest, I think I'm being too harsh on Peter and I apologize. And I apologize to everybody who believed in me. I don't think anybody does anymore. But Jim Campbell, your fan base is growing by the minute. But no, don't worry. I'll get a battering off Luke Alvish immediately. Yeah. Well, you never know Jim. Because I think you can take this kind of form into playing as them. I've not had to put many answers through at any point. With respect. I need to play a little Luke.

That's what I need to do. I don't think we need to encourage little Luke. No, I don't think Luke should be. You know, that's what I am right now. I need little Luke's child. What do you call it when you make children work? You're a legal. It's illegal. It's illegal, guys. Is that right? It's illegal. Let's take it back to the Victorian times. Well, there we are. I'm sure to show because I've been shit again. But that means because of shitness. You can go and have a drink quicker than you did before. Exactly. Are you allowed to, if you are watching or listening to Jackson's Like A Beadey or my video? Are you allowed to have a drink in view of my video? Or get a psychopedias that allowed? Quite possibly. I think so. I think if you can see a screen with it on, you can do what you want. Okay. Within the realms of the law. Thank you very much for listening to Football Rammels. It's been an absolute pleasure for Jim Campbell again. Have a lovely Friday. Get your pit ball on. It's the weekend. England are playing tomorrow. That's the best thing you're able to play.

Hi, this is Mark Bittman from the podcast, Food with Mark Bittman. I've been writing about food and restaurants for almost 50 years. My whole career, really. And what I know is that the good restaurants all have something in common. They're busy, genuinely, chaotically busy. And somehow, in the last few years, the best of them have begun to make it look easy.
