Summary
The Premier League is up and running, and so are Man City and Liverpool - both of whom recorded eye-catching wins against Arsenal and West Ham respectively. Elsewhere there's chat about a hard day at the office for Fulham, and a look at Wolves' point against Everton.
As the Marcelo Bielsa era gets up and running, we wax lyrical about the effect the big Argentinian is having at Elland Road, and also find time to lament yet more poor behaviour from a Newcastle fan, this time at the Home of Football.
To get in touch, hit us up: show@thefootballramble.com, we'd love to hear from you!

| 1:27.5 | embers. Or 1990s, or not the embers, of course, in the Arsenal. |
| 1:30.2 | Yeah, the dugout. Can I bring something to the table that might have gone |
