In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Arne Slot is closing in on his first Premier League title in his debut season with Liverpool and his team have hardly put a foot wrong. But should Slot get all the credit for winning a league title with a squad largely assembled by his predecessor? And will history unfairly judge Klopp's tenure at Liverpool after taking nine years to win as many Premier League titles as Slot will do in one? Elsewhere, Marcus, Jim & Andy give their takes on Jamie Carragher's AFCON comments, plus they pick their best five-a-side teams based on players they share a birthday with. We’re going on tour!

What’s that smell? Is it a European road trip with Jean-Philippe Mateta and the boys? The race for Europe is hotting up and Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete think that Crystal Palace may just have half an eye on trying to secure one of those European places. Elsewhere, we debate whether Southampton really could be the worst Premier League team of all time.

Well, it looks like the three sides promoted from the Champo last season are heading straight back down to the second tier. Kieran McKenna and his boys have given the Premier League a good go, but it's just not happening for them and Leicester this season...Need we even mention Southampton? Elsewhere, Marcus, Luke & Vish react to the fresh demands from Daniel Levy and his marketing staff who wish for their club to be referred to as 'Tottenham Hotspur' or simply 'Spurs', NOT 'Tottenham'.

The Champions League knockout play-offs (is that really what we're calling them?) served up plenty of drama as part of the new format, but are they really worth keeping given the ever-increasing demands of the football calendar? Marcus, Jim & Andy give their thoughts on that, plus they answer who they think is the most underrated manager of all time. Fizzer's surely up there, right? We’re going on tour!

An Austrian manager’s team talk has made headlines this week and somehow the fact that he waving a dildo around in front of his players isn’t the most confusing detail about it… Marcus, Jim, Andy and Vish log into UEFA.com (and quickly log back out again) before checking in with the best of the Prem action this weekend. Vish realises that the best manager for Cole Palmer is Neil Warnock, while Andy makes his defence of Pep Guardiola and Man City after further talk of their demise in midweek. Plus, Mark Lawrenson is fuming and Phil Neville’s Portland Timbers have an unusual start to their season… We’re going on tour! Get your tickets now: https://footballramblelive.com .

Man City were so bad that they forced Marcus to do his best Graeme Souness impression… oh dear. Jim joins him to wonder when was the last time a British club gave such a poor performance in Europe. Elsewhere, Liverpool and Aston Villa offered up the perfect tonic at Villa Park. But is it too early for Jim to sound the “title race is back on” alarm? We’re going on tour!

Marcus, Luke, Jim and Pete catch their breath after a chaotic night of European football which saw Bayern get past a spirited Celtic without even using Eric Dier or Vincent Kompany’s studded cowboy boots. We also recap head loss deluxe across the rest of Europe, with awful diving and embarrassing tantrums aplenty. Elsewhere, a Liverpool fan opens the scoring at Everton’s new home - classic Everton - and we join Neymar’s campaign to ban artificial pitches. Plus, in disgraceful news, the FA has agreed to let Thomas Tuchel work from home. IN GERMANY. The game has definitively gone. We’re going on tour!

Right, before we get onto another Juan Bernabe update, things really are starting to heat up in the battle for the Premier League’s European places. From third down to seventh, it could be anyone’s game - so who do Marcus, Luke & Pete think are going to snatch those coveted four (maybe five) places come the end of the season? But yes, Bernabe is back in the headlines once again. This time he’s said he plans to take Lazio president Claudio Lotito to court... We’re going on tour!

Marcus, Luke and Pete dust themselves down and go again after Spurs and Man United played out a disappointing damp squib. Even the managers’ meagre war of words did little to tickle our fancy… To be fair, the rest of the Premier League weekend did throw up some interesting stories as Newcastle graciously got battered by Man City once again and Fulham grabbed their first home win of 2025 with #FULFORCE.
