| 0:10.4 | I'm not Richard E. Grant. I'm in fact Marcus Speller from the football |
| 0:14.1 | ramble and I'm here with my usual outfit of Jim Campbell. Hello Luke Moor. |
| 0:18.1 | All right and Pete Donaldson. Good afternoon. So for those of you who might not be familiar |
| 0:23.2 | with the football ramble it's a podcast about football in which we ramble and we've now turned |
