After a tale of two competitions, lots of injuries and a very prickly Australian last season, Spurs are charging into the Champions League with a very different vibe. And Marcus thinks it's a big vibe.

Marcus, Luke and Jim answer the best of your questions, including Spurs' Champions League prospects, whether 90s football is officially back, and England's favourite microphone swallower reveals himself. Plus, an update on the terrifying plover and a definitive power ranking of the Premier League's hardest managers.

Would Man United be better with Donny as CEO? It has got to the stage where Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete actually ponder that on today’s Ramble.

Elsewhere, Marcus takes time to marvel at Erling Harland’s extraordinary way of running. Plus, Luke’s criticism of Martin Zubimendi comes back to bite him and Lord Sugar goes in to bat against "Mr Jamie Redknapp".

The MBA is back! Today's game covers the great young talents in years gone by, some of which have – well – not quite lived up to their billing and some of which have illegally parked in more disabled parking bays than they've scored goals.

Marcus and Luke do battle with Pete as the quizmaster for five glorious rounds of brave bidding, shameless dark arts, and ridiculous memory. Join us in the ring!

Blooming heck the Premier League is back! Today, Marcus and Luke kick off our weekend preview by encouraging Pete to apply for the job of Manchester United DJ to try to improve the atmosphere at Old Trafford. With Alpecafest on his CV surely they can’t refuse.

Speaking of which, the Ferryman is now driving a party boat as the vibes are flying high at Everton after Jack Grealish's 30th birthday this week. Plus, Luke gives us his thoughts ahead of the "second biggest game of the weekend": Southampton vs Portsmouth.
