Summary

Arsenal are through to the Carabao Cup final! Were Chelsea’s tactics understandable or unforgivable? Today, Marcus, Luke and Jim gather in the Football Ramble rumpus room for a good old-fashioned debate on just that subject.


Elsewhere, Crystal Palace overpay for Jørgen Strand Larsen, Cristiano Ronaldo goes on strike and Luke warns everyone to be more considerate of trees after Cole Palmer's ongoing dispute with his neighbours.

0:37.1

On last week's Rambal Uncut, we heard about the time that Wayne Rooney went to watch a game at Old Trafford wearing his pajamas. This time round, we may well talk about our favorite hip-hop lyrics, Luke. Probably won't do that, will we? Tim Vyland is an American fashion designer, disc jockey and entrepreneur, as well as the co-founder

0:54.4

and creative director of the Timo Vyland brand. So hello to you, Tim. Thanks for being a member of our Patreon. Yeah, and welcome to Miami. There's a chance he might be a different Tim Island, but we don't know. We just don't know. Well, don't delay. Just head to patreon.com forward slash football Amble to get involved now and asked him yourself.

1:12.0

Yeah, and he could be the brother, I suppose, or the son of...

1:14.4

Also called Tim. Just head to patreon.com forward slash football rambled to get involved now and ask Tim yourself. Yeah, and he could be the brother, I suppose, or the son of the late, the late Great Scott Island. I see, yeah. It seems less likely than the first one, that. Stone Tampal pilots and Velvet Revolveld. Yeah, yeah. I mean, let's find out. We'd love to hear from him again. It's not a name you hear very often. It's not, which is what got the old synapses firing. Yes, it did. For me. It really did. Yeah. Did Kai Havert's winner last night get your synapses and juices flowing? Jim, Arsenal one Chelsea, nil, 4-2 on Aga Arsenal are in the final. Yep. It was very enjoyable performance from where I was sat, obviously. Man of Chelsea to play for a nil-nil.

1:47.2

Yeah, it was. And it failed. Yeah, I mean, that's the, that's the main problem, isn't it? Even if it hadn't to fail, they still would have gone out. Yeah. Well, that's been, it's very interesting coming back from the stadium and seeing the narrative has been mostly about Gary Neville saying it was a tactical masterclass until it wasn't.

2:01.8

And it was actually very pointed the way they set up. And I think, obviously, it hasn't worked,

2:07.8

so you can't give it the credit. But you do see what Rossini was trying to do,

2:11.0

is that the idea was essentially, you know, keep the game really, really tight,

2:14.3

and nick a goal, score after about an hour, or like like from an hour onwards and then take it to extra time.

2:20.6

Obviously, in hindsight, that wasn't the right thing to do because they couldn't manage to do it.

But the way they set up in that first section was really interesting because obviously
