Clap for footballers
4/27/202659 min
Against all odds, our brave professional footballers supplied another thrilling weekend of action for our enjoyment. Marcus, Luke and Vish gather to thank them personally on today’s Ramble.
We continue to worry for Tottenham’s Premier League future as their situation gets worse despite a 1-0 win over Wolves. Elsewhere, there was a surprising number of punches thrown across football this weekend, some brilliant FA Cup semi-final action (and some less so). Plus, York City reminded us again why we love the game.

Then I realize my journey is not theirs. I've earned every step, so I smile. My smile is the shape resilience takes to keep me moving.

I, um, I can't stop scratching my downtown. Mm-hmm. Yeah, but I'm not itching to go downtown and tell a receptionist I'm here to talk about my downtown. [sighs] Some things you'd rather type than say out loud.
