What is the opening banter and how do the hosts introduce the mailbag?
Hello everybody, welcome to the Football Ramble Mailbag! Manchester City, Hull City, and Gianni Infantino are the orders of the day. It's Tuesday, 8th of September. I'm Marcus Speller. I'm Luke Moore. And I'm Pete Donelson.
Hello, everybody. Welcome to the mailbag. That's right. We're opening the bag and having a dip and seeing what is inside. Let's
get stuck into Marcus's sack.
Well, if you want to pop something in the bag, then do message us on XBlueSky or Instagram at football ramble. Yeah, Blue Sky. Um comment on the bottom. Don't doing that. I get I
get hammered on Reddit for saying taking the piss out of Blue Sky. I think you've got to take the piss out of Blue Sky, haven't you? Yeah, but if you take the piss out of
Blue Sky, that that that definitely means that you're a fan of X and Musk and everything. I hate them all equally. There's no nuance, Luke. You know that. Um do comment on YouTube as well. Email us, show at footballramble.com, and of course, friends of the Ramble, you guys get priority. Patreon.com forward slash football ramble or sign up on YouTube to become a friend of the Ramble. Right, everybody. Let us start with Jamie via our Patreon. Priority, gets priority. Well indeed. Proofs in the pudding. It's Petrian priority. Product. Now, Jamie uh says this. Given they lost their greatest ever manager. Well, that's disrespectful to um the late Kevin Keegan. Uh and their best player. Are you surprised by how well Manchester City have started the season?
Um No I wouldn't say I'm massively surprised given that with all due respect to those involved, they've not been up against that much. I mean, you know they're shocked that they
won at home to Coventry. Exactly. I think you know,
if you look at the the profile of the games they've played, I mean they've beaten Bournemouth at home, fine. New manager, first day of the season. First day of the season a bit of a shit show, it's a crapshoot anyway, but they won that game
fine. While our trans women are still open as well.
Yep, exactly, Peter, good point.
Excellent point. They beat Crystal
Palace, again new manager and st tr still trying some things and have shown themselves to you know to be vulnerable because they obviously conceded two goals against Fulham. Tells its own story. Come on. And they've beaten newly promoted Coventry who are still finding their way at this level and who were you know beaten fairly handily Yeah, by Arsenal, for example. And then the uh well, speaking of Arsenal, the only time Man City have actually played anyone that you think would make waves this season, it was in the community shield against Arsenal and they were quite handsomely beaten. They didn't look ready. So I think it might be too early To be asking the question. Um, tonight they'll go to Porto, right?
They'll play Porto in the Champions League. That'll be an interesting test. Yeah. Obviously a different type of thing playing in in the Champions League against teams who are used to winning and you know, pr you know, present a different challenge. So I think um I'm not that surprised. I also do think, and I've been on record saying this, I think Moreski is a good manager. I think you you you've said the same thing, Mark, because you think he's decent. I
fancied him to go to the top when he got Leicester promoted.
There we go, you did, you called that very early. And
that's done now.
No, it's done exactly. You can't go back on that. And look what's happened to Leicester.
If he gets if he gets sacked tomorrow, he's still it's
fine. Speaking of that, I mean Russell Martin's having a lovely time out at Leicester. I've c leave Martin alone. Did you see um you see him the other day? You you're in you're
insatiable.
He r he ran over to the um Leicester fans the other day and told them all to calm down.
Yeah.
Nice. Great stuff. That's what you want to say, isn't it? It's great stuff. It was great stuff. Anyway, but no, I I I'm not surprised I'm I'm not surprised because Mureska's decent. Um it's a big ask. The challenge will come when they they have a two or three run game run where they have to yeah, playing against good teams and they have to really make it happen.
