Those Qarabağ boys didn't go down without a fight! Newcastle already had one foot in the round of 16, which allowed Eddie Howe to give Nick Woltemade a run out in midfield.

Plus, Bodø/Glimt deliver a huge shock as they knock Sporting Clube de Inter Milan out of the Champions League, Joe Hart becomes a coach for a day, and Snoop Dogg leaves a stench in the Swansea City tunnel.Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: show@footballramble.com.Sign up to the Football Ramble Patreon for ad-free shows for just $5 per month: https://www.patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate us on your podcast app. It means a great deal to the show and will make it easier for other potential listeners to find us.

"Swans defeat Robins" with Patch, Matt and Ceej

A disappointing afternoon in South Wales.If Armstrong's shot goes in early on rather than hit the post it's a different game but Swansea continued their impressive home form when poor defending by City allowed them to score the only goal of the game after 25 minutes.A debut from Eile that showed promise but more bad than good as play off hopes ebb away. Only 11 points from the past 10 games!DaveP, Dave Tovey and Ant Banks review the game, talk about Tom Rawcliffe's unexpected exit and look forward to Tuesday night's game at Ewood Park. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ten weeks ago, the general consensus was Swansea City were in a relegation battle. Thirteen games later, has new manager Vitor Matos transformed the team into Championship play-off contenders? A comfortable 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday leaves the Swans just five points adrift of the top six, but four games against team above them in the table await.Wrexham failed to give owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac a win to mark five years at the helm by slipping up at home to Millwall. Attention now turns to the fourth round of the FA Cup against Ipswich Town.No such problems for Cardiff City, who shrugged off the 20th-minute red card to Ryan Wintle to win 3-0 at Rotherham, a display described by Iwan as one of the best he can recall by a team with 10 men.

Sheffield Wednesday's difficult season hits another low point as the Owls suffer a heavy 4-0 defeat away to Swansea City in South Wales. In this episode, we break down the key moments from the match, analyse what went wrong tactically, and discuss the growing reality of relegation as the pressure continues to mount.We're joined by special guest Dom Howson, who shares expert insight on the current state of Sheffield Wednesday and reflects on whether THIS could be the game that finally seals the club's fate. Alongside match analysis, Dom also talks about his book Carlos Had a Dream, revisiting the unforgettable Carlos Carvalhal era and what that period meant for Wednesday fans — especially in contrast to today's challenges.

It's all too familiar. Another game, another defeat and another game without scoring a goal as well. James and Matt talk through the 4-0 defeat at the hands of Swansea City as well as giving thoughts on the new signings, and rating the transfer window as a whole. Hosted on Acast.

Ben, Caity, Cam & Joe are back with a new episode of Voices of the Vic, reacting to another turbulent day at Vicarage Road. Following Watford's 2–0 home defeat to Swansea City, the team discuss Javi Gracia's resignation, another dull performance, and what this means for a Hornets side that has now gone five games without a win. Where do Watford go from here, and is there any sign of improvement despite the lack of excitement on the pitch? All that and more in the latest episode.

Is Cardiff City's immediate return to the Championship an inevitability? The Bluebirds are now 10 points clear of the League One play-off places after a comfortable midweek win over Barnsley, prompting comparisons with Birmingham's march to the title last season.Life is far harder for Newport County, who failed to build on the feelgood factor of a rare win on Saturday by losing to fellow strugglers Accrington Stanley on Tuesday. Manager Christian Fuchs might insist his team are not in a relegation battle, but the coming games - starting with Bristol Rovers - could define their whole season.Wrexham showed their winning mentality with two added time goals to snatch a win at Queens Park Rangers that lifts them to the top six in the Championship for the first time this season. But an inexplicable handball and a missed open goal continued Swansea City's away woes.And Iwan and Sam share their Welsh Cup memories as the competition reaches the last eight - with several lower league clubs dreaming of lifting the cup and booking an unforgettable ticket to Europe.

Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes know more than most about scoring goals. They also know a prolific scorer can be worth his weight in gold. Swansea City's Zan Vipotnik is the Championship's top scorer with 13 goals, while Kieffer's Moore's 10 goals for Wrexham ensures they are well in touch of a play-off place. And in League One, Yousef Salach has caught the eye in Cardiff City's rise to the top of the table. But if they had to choose, which one would they say is the best?But this week's podcast starts with the disappointing news of Ben Davies' likely absence from World Cup play-offs with a broken ankle, while Jordan James gives manager Craig Bellamy another potential scare with a hamstring injury.

On this episode of the SeventySix Capital Sports Leadership Show, Wayne Kimmel interviewed Jeff Mostyn, the Former Chairman of AFC Bournemouth⁠. There have been few constants in AFC Bournemouth's incredible rise to the Premier League. Aside from the sight of the inspirational performances from the team, achieving the almost impossible by reaching the Premier League in 2015, it is an almost unrecognisable club from just ten years ago. But its fairy tale success wouldn't have been possible without the boardroom backing of former Chairman Jeff Mostyn following his purchase of the club in 2007. The club has now become one of the most progressive and admired clubs, both on and off the field within the English football pyramid. Mostyn now stands as an immensely well-respected figure not only in the English game but also on the Global stage due to his unparalleled knowledge of the Football Pyramid. He has held places on the board of the Football League and the Football Association Council and is just as influential in the local area, contributing as an ambassador to the club's Community Sports Trust where he remains a trustee. Mostyn is also part of a small group of Football Chairman to have held the position at the same club in the top four divisions, along with Swansea City's Huw Jenkins and Dave Whelan at Wigan Athletic. In 2011 he was elected by the 72 Football League Clubs to represent them on the FA Council working on several of the Football Association committees, including those for Disability, FA Youth and Compliance Monitoring, as well as chairing the prestigious FA Challenge Cup Committee. In 2012 Jeff was elected to the Board of Directors of the Football League. During the 2015/16 season Jeff was elected as an FA England Team Ambassador, supporting the FA and England teams overseas. Following the club's administration in 2009, Mostyn stepped down to become Vice-Chairman of the club, before once again taking up the position of Chairman at AFC Bournemouth in September 2013, with a historic promotion to the English Premier League following less than two years later. Away from football, he is a family man and has been married to his wife Rose for 44 years and has four children. Amongst Jeff's charitable work he supports Prostate Cancer UK and is a patron for Dorset Cancer Care Foundation, Ambassador of Julia's House Children's Hospice, Ambassador of Lewis-Manning Hospice Care. Jeff is a global ambassador for Football for Peace and had the honour of presenting to dignitaries at the UN General Assembly in New York in September 2019. Jeff was awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Bournemouth University in Business Administration in November 2017, in recognition of his work at AFC Bournemouth and the Community. Jeff received a Fellowship of the FA Council in 2021. Finally in 2023 The Premier League acknowledged Jeff's contribution to the League and the wider Football Family with a personal award. The rise of AFC Bournemouth from the depths of despair in 2006 to the glorified heights of the English Premier League is one of sports greatest ever achievements. It was once described as a Hans Christian Anderson fairy story that somehow came to life. Jeff Stepped down as Chairman of the football club in December 2022, taking up a role as Ambassador for the clubs, Community Sports Trust. On the 30th October 2025, Jeff published his autobiography “The Chairman”Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jeff Mostyn and AFC Bournemouth01:35 Jeff's Journey to Bournemouth Ownership05:04 Emotional Rollercoaster of Football Ownership08:50 The Impact of Community and Relationships12:49 Writing 'The Chairman' and Contributions from Football Royalty17:57 The Journey to Premier League Promotion22:56 Building a Successful Team Culture28:05 The Future of AFC Bournemouth and Community Engagement29:20 World Cup Excitement and the Power of Football

After a calamitous defeat to Swansea City before Christmas, Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson could not have asked for a better response from his players. Four consecutive wins has lifted the Reds to ninth in the Championship, but crucially, within six points of second place. Are they now genuine contenders for automatic promotion? Iwan and Sam certainly think so.Swansea's steady progress under Vitor Matos continues, although Iwan believes some are "getting carried" away with the improvement, given they've yet to beat anyone above them in the table.Cardiff City remain top of League One, but their lead at the top remains three points despite a fruitful festive period. And Newport County are off the bottom of League Two, giving themselves some welcomed hope into the new year.

Mark Griffiths looks back at a match with a cruel conclusion.

Grafite, Björn Vleminckx, Andy Carroll. Allemaal hebben ze één ding gemeen. Hun voetbalgeluk is vooral in één seizoen te vangen. Maar de grootste one season wonder is en blijft Miguel Michu in 2012/2013 bij Swansea City. Met zijn 22 goals bracht hij met de League Cup de eerste grote prijs in de clubhistorie en de beste eindklassering in de Premier League naar de club van behangkoning John van Zweden. Voor dat seizoen nog onbekend in de voetbalwereld en voor een schamele twee miljoen opgepikt bij Rayo Vallecano. En na dat ene topseizoen? Niks meer. Blessures, twee goals in het seizoen 2013/2014 en een mislukte verhuurperiode bij Napoli tekende de rest van zijn carrière. Maar wat maakt het ook uit. Michu zal voor altijd in de harten van The Swans zitten en we zullen dat ene seizoen nooit meer vergeten.

A big statement of intent - that's what Carl, Iwan and Sam made of the three late attacking substitutions made Cardiff City manager Brian Barry-Murphy that turned an acceptable away draw into a huge win at title rivals Stevenage. It increased their lead at the top of League One to four points, but also sent a clear message to their rivals on the manager's winning mentality.Swansea City had a super sub of their own as Liam Cullen struck to ensure a second successive home win that silenced talk of a relegation battle... for now. Newport County put a shocking FA Cup display behind them to earn a point at Crewe, giving Iwan new hope they can climb off the bottom of League Two as the hectic Christmas schedule arrives.And after Mo Salah's remarkable outburst against his treatment at Liverpool, Sam recalls his attempts to persuade Sean Dyche he was wrong to drop him to the Burnley bench.

He talks about his new coaching staff, Bertnel Thompson retiring, targets, familiar faces in the squad, and having to cancel a ski trip due to the timing of this job coming up. Plus we catch up with Portadown's Eamon Fyfe and learn about the conversation the led to him becoming their main forward, the faith his manager Niall Currie has shown in him and now finding himself in the best goal scoring form of his career.

It may only be early December, but the message is clear for Swansea City - this is now a relegation fight. And the next two games - at home to fellow strugglers Oxford United and Portsmouth - could define the whole season.Wrexham, meanwhile, are looking upwards after extending their unbeaten run to eight games. Manager Phil Parkinson has now reached 200 league games with The Reds, with a hugely impressive 59.5% win rate.
