Lars is on the pod! Our Norweigan uncle Lars Sivertsen has Crossed The Continent™ and is back on the Ramble as he joins Marcus and Jim to answer all of your questions.
They ask whether the traditional 'mid-table' Premier League clubs can get in on the action and join the big soup that is challenging for Europe this season. Plus, who's the most underrated Premier League player of the decade? And how did Sir Gareth get a mention in that discussion?

| 0:00.0 | This episode is brought to you by Midnight, a next-generation bookie looking to shake up the betting game. Think Monzo level good, but for betting. Right then, if you lot are putting on a bet, where do you usually go to? Not on the old apps, Marcus. Last time I used one, it was still showing fixtures from Italian 90. Yeah, knowing your luck, you probably still lost the bet on that too. I'm with you though with those apps by the time they load up you've already missed kickoff |
| 0:23.8 | Which is why more and more people have been moving over to midnight this season. Yeah, midnight actually works the way you want it to. Smooth, simple, no hassle. This is not your granddad's bookie. Some of those apps are slower than Vard deciding if a tow was offside. |
| 1:11.0 | What I like is that the layout actually makes sense. You can find what you need straight away, so you're building the bet you want rather than shouting at your phone. It's fast, clean and enjoyable to use. The market's are simple to scroll and the bet builders been great fun on the big games. Depositing with Apple Bay is quick and easy and thanks to their rapid withdrawal, I had my winnings before I could even tell these lot. And to be honest, that's probably for the best. Yeah, we'd never hear the end of it otherwise. And here's the best bit. You can sign up to the app and opt in today to be eligible for incredible offers. So if you've ever felt like you've dropped back into 2005, try and place a bet. Midnight's the one for you. |

| 1:26.9 | Autumn is officially upon us. It's a time for strutting around with pumpkin spice lates and cozy knitwear, a season for looking at leaves and going, ooh, isn't that autumnnal? And best of all, for staying in. I get the tweet outdoorsy thing. I really do. But this autumn, there's a lot to be said for not going outside and instead curling up in front of the TV. |
| 1:44.5 | Where better to watch the unfolding drama of the Premier League. With live games on Sky Sports and TNT Sports and highlights on Match of the Day on BBC 1, there is simply no need to be squatching around a forest in search of the perfect autumnal Instagram photo when you could be at home with some fancy candles and a shedload of goals. On top of all that, Broadcasting BMO, Alan Partridge, |
| 2:02.9 | returned to the BBC in How Are You? It's Alan Partridge. He's back from six months working in Saudi Arabia to reintegrate himself into British life and bring us what he's calling Britain's first ever documentary about mental health. I must say, I am tremendously excited by all of this and it's all possible because |
| 2:17.8 | of a TV licence. A TV licence covers you to watch all live TV channels plus everything on BBC |
| 2:22.9 | IPlayer. To find out more get yourself to tvl.cote you care forward slash pod. That's tvl.com. |
