Jimbo sits down with Duncan Alexander, Mark Carey and JJ Bull to discuss a bonkers night of Champions League football in Munich, and a not-so-bonkers evening in North London.   Both Arsenal and Bayern are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Bavarians playing out a 4-3 thriller with Real Madrid, winning the tie 6-4 on aggregate to set up a semi-final against PSG. Will that tie be the real final?   It’s not a thrill-fest for Arsenal, but a 0-0 draw with Sporting CP means they’re through 1-0 on aggregate. Get ready for Arteta v Simeone! The Gunners will play Atletico Madrid in two weeks.   Next for them is Manchester City in the Premier League. Will Pep Guardiola’s side be licking their lips at this one? Will Roberto De Zerbi get his first Spurs win against his old club Brighton?   Plus, there’s the small matter of Chelsea v Man Utd AND the first ever Merseyside derby at the Hill Dickinson between Everton and Liverpool.   Produced by Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird.   RUNNING ORDER:    • PART 1: Run through of results (3 mins) • PART 2: Bayern 4-3 Real Madrid (9 mins) • PART 3: Arsenal 0-0 Sporting (32 mins) • PART 4a: Premier League fixtures (46 mins) • PART 4b: Man City v Arsenal (48 mins) • PART 4c: Everton v Liverpool & Chelsea v Man Utd (55 mins) • PART 5: Relegation battle (59 mins) Hosted on Acast.

How might all this affect this week’s Champions League Quarter Final second legs?   There’s no game to impact PSG, as they’re given the weekend off in France to focus on beating Liverpool. No such let-off for Monaco, who are hammered 4-1 by PSG’s neighbours Paris FC.   In Germany, Bayern set a single-season scoring record with an emphatic 5-0 win at St Pauli, and Union Berlin's Marie-Louise Eta becomes the first woman to manage a Bundesliga side.   And in Italy, it’s goals galore between Como and Inter, with the league leaders winning 4-3 to stretch their lead over second placed Napoli to nine points. Plus, there’s a public clash between Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini.   Produced by Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird.   RUNNING ORDER:   PART 1: Moments of the week (2:45) PART 2: La Liga review – Barca go nine clear (14:45) PART 3: Ligue 1 review – Will PSG be too good for Liverpool?

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Matt Davies-Adams are in the studio after another pivotal Premier League weekend. Man City close the gap to 6 points in the title race, with a game in hand, after an impressive 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. Are Pep’s players motoring towards a domestic treble? City host leaders Arsenal next Sunday, who suffer a shock home defeat to Bournemouth, their 3rd loss in 4 matches. Are they buckling under the pressure of chasing a first title in 22 years? It’s a miserable weekend in North London with Spurs losing at Sunderland in Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge.

Or will it just be more of the same from Arne Slot’s side, who failed to muster a shot on target last night?   Meanwhile in Barcelona, red card drama means it’s a first ever victory for Diego Simeone at the Camp Nou, and a first for Atletico Madrid in 20 years.

Meanwhile in Lisbon, Arsenal fought hard against an impressive Sporting Clube to earn a revitalising away win in the Estádio José Alvalade, via a stoppage time goal made by two substitutes Martinelli and Havertz.

Jimbo, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams reflect on a captivating FA Cup quarter-final weekend. It’s back-to-back defeats for Arsenal, overcome by a sensational Southampton from the Championship on Saturday. With their trophy hopes halved in the last two matches, is this the start of a dramatic collapse for the Gunners? Can the same question be asked of Liverpool, who are thrashed 4-0 by Man City, with Erling Haaland taking home the match ball? The pressure piling on Arne Slot ahead of the Reds’ trip to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday. West Ham stage an incredible comeback against Leeds but it’s Daniel Farke’s side who progress on penalties to a first FA Cup semi since 1987. Where they will meet Chelsea, who pummel Port Vale 7-0 at Stamford Bridge. It’s also a big weekend in the EFL with Millwall moving into the automatic promotion places in the Championship.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and George Caulkin to open up the Totally Extra almanac to exactly 30 years ago, on the Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle page. The Magpies were the great entertainers with the exuberant Kevin Keegan at the helm and much of the country pulling for them to take the title. Their title challengers Man Utd had famously been told by Alan Hansen they couldn't win anything with kids. With Fergie's fledglings finding form, a wobbling Newcastle went to Anfield and vowed to play the only way they knew how, to attack; the likes of Beardsley, Ginola, Asprilla and Ferdinand up against Fowler, Collymore, Barnes and McManaman. What ensued is still for many the greatest ever Premier League game. What made it so special? And how different might have football been if Newcastle had won it in 1996? Plus what else happened this week in football history and a brain-teasing quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones, Lucy Oliva & Jesse Howard.

There’s shootout joy for Czech Republic though who beat Denmark, Sweden see off Poland and Turkey are heading to the World Cup for the first time in 24 years after winning in Kosovo.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Rob Tanner and Jordan Halford to open up the Totally Extra Almanac in 2016 and celebrate Leicester's historic Premier League title, 10 years on.  From the sacking of Pearson and battling relegation to Richard III, Ranieri, pizzas and Bocelli - the Leicester title story had it all. Underpinning Leicester's success was excellent investment with Vardy, Mahrez and Kante costing less than 8 million pounds and the squad barely getting injuries, meaning Ranieri could play the same eleven in most games. Even still, the odds were stacked against them with the bookies making them 5000-1 before the season started. So just how did they do it? And could anyone ever do it again?

It’s Manchester City who claim the Carabao Cup thanks to a brace from Nico O’Reilly. What happened to league leaders Arsenal? And did Mikel Arteta make a mistake by starting Kepa? It was a cup final atmosphere elsewhere in North London but it was Forest who took home a massive 3 points at Spurs in the battle to survive. Are Tottenham doomed? The only positive for Spurs is that West Ham also lost and stay below them in the relegation zone. Villa the big winners in the Champions League race this weekend.

And with West Ham also winning at Fulham, where does this leave the relegation battle? The race for Champions League football is hotting right up with 3rd to 6th separated by 3 points.

Arsenal get back to winning ways with Eberechi Eze returning to haunt Spurs again in the North London derby. Igor Tudor’s new side now sit 4 points above the relegation zone.

Arsenal somehow throw away a 2-0 lead to draw with rock-bottom Wolves at Molineux, with the hosts earning just their 10th point of the season. Have the Gunners lost their heads in the title race? And does a North London derby in Igor Tudor’s first game as Spurs manager represent a good or bad game for them at this moment?

The Champions League reaches its final game showdown with all 36 teams playing simultaneously on Wednesday night. Might all 6 English teams make the top 8?

It was a perfect weekend for Chivu's Inter who beat Pisa 6-2 whilst title rivals Napoli were thrashed 3-0 by Juve, with Roma and Milan sharing the points in the capital. In Spain, Mbappe's Panenka helped him set a European record, and Yamal's worldie in the rain kept Barca 1 point above Real in the La Liga title race.

It’s now 3 games without a victory for Arsenal as Man United inflict a first home defeat of the season on the leaders. The Gunners’ lead is down to 4 points while Michael Carrick has taken the Red Devils into the top 4! Villa bounce back from defeat against Everton with a very impressive 2-0 win at St James’s Park. And Liam Rosenior’s Chelsea momentarily went 4th, extending Palace’s winless run to 11 games. Liverpool’s unbeaten run is ended in a five-goal thriller at Bournemouth. Not a good time for Arne Slot to see his side slip out of the top 4.

Jimbo’s got European football friends Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Tom Williams alongside him as the Champions League re-enters the room…  We start with those midweek UCL MD7 ties - including the tight battle for a top eight finish with the likes of Tottenham v Dortmund, Marseille v Liverpool and Juventus v Benfica looking finely poised.  In Serie A, there were tributes to Fiorentina owner Rocco Commisso - who passed away on Saturday but left a huge legacy in not only Florence but across the Italian sporting landscape. La Viola honoured him by beating Bologna 2-1 on Sunday to move out of the bottom three.  Over in La Liga, the gap’s been cut to just one point! That’s after Barcelona’s 11-game winning streak was ended by a 2-1 defeat at Real Sociedad. Real Madrid took advantage, beating Levante 2-0 amid a backdrop of boos, whistles and protests in the Spanish capital…  Meanwhile in the Bundesliga, Bayern became the first team in Europe’s top 5 leagues to score 100 goals in all competitions this season as they came from behind to beat Leipzig 5-1 thanks to a second half masterclass from Michael Olise. Plus, what next for Frankfurt after Dino Topmoller was sacked after their latest 3-3 draw?  And over in France - Lens are *still* top of the table thanks to a club-record eight straight Ligue 1 wins. PSG stay a point behind after their 3-0 win over Lille - which featured one of the goals of the season from Ousmane Dembele. All that plus pinchos, personalised apps - and poor ratings!

It’s Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Colin Millar and Luis Miguel Echegaray in position after another dramatic weekend of Premier League action. It’s 4 games without a win for Man City as Michael Carrick’s Man United produce a performance for the ages to win 2-0. How did the Red Devils do it? For the second matchday in a row, Arsenal fail to fully capitalise on City’s slip-up as they draw 0-0 at Forest. Will Mikel Arteta come to regret these missed opportunities in the title race? Perhaps not as Villa also stutter with a 1-0 defeat to Everton. We record the pod as the AFCON final is in progress, not knowing what was about to unfold. A controversial penalty, a walk-off, pitch invasions, a Panenka and eventually a heartbreaking defeat for hosts Morocco against Senegal. Maher Mezahi was there. Billed by some as El Sackico, West Ham are last-minute winners at Tottenham, who lose a third straight game. What next for Thomas Frank?

King George first won the hearts of Monaco and PSG fans with his dazzling runs and infectious personality before moving to Milan and winning two Serie A titles and scoring countless unforgettable goals.

We begin in La Liga, where it’s as you were at the top of the table with Barca navigating the tricky trip to Villarreal to come away with all three points to keep their advantage at the top of the table. Real’s win over Sevilla helps ease the pressure on Xabi Alonso - but is Vini Jr’s future in more serious doubt?  The shock scoreline across the continent was perhaps recorded in Florence, where having gone 210 days without a Serie A win - Fiorentina only went and put five past Udinese! Plus, Lois Openda ended his Juve goalscoring drought in their win over Roma to make things even tighter at the top.  We touch base with events in France, Portugal, Turkey and the Netherlands - including the mounting troubles for Robin van Persie, Coupe de France storylines and lone Portuguese superfans!  And in Germany -  Bayern Munich continued their remarkable form with a 4-0 thrashing of Heidenheim - featuring Harry Kane’s 100th goal involvement in record quick time. Is the sky the limit for Vincent Kompany’s side this season?  Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Mark Carey chew through the last Premier League weekend before Christmas. Morgan Rogers produces two moments of magic as Aston Villa beat Man United 2-1. Unai Emery's side have won 10 in a row and 7 in a row in the Premier League for the first time ever. There are victories for Man City and leaders Arsenal, who put a stop to their away slump with a 1-0 win at Everton. The match of the weekend sees Chelsea fight back from 2-0 down at St James's Park to rescue a point. And it's two red cards for Tottenham as Liverpool's revival continues in North London.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Sasha Goryunov and special guest filmmaker and Liverpool fanatic Asif Kapadia, as they open up the Totally Extra almanac on Fernando Torres. A boyhood Atletico Madrid fan turned hometown hero at his local club, Torres' lightning pace and prolific goalscoring earned him a move to Anfield where he quickly won the hearts of the Liverpool faithful and forged a special bond with Steven Gerrard. A World Cup and Euros winner with Spain in arguably their greatest ever era, but injuries held him back as he he made the controversial move to Chelsea, before finishing his career back at Atletico and finally in Japan. The panel ponder why despite not winning anything at Anfield and moving to a rival, El Niño is so loved on Merseyside. Plus, Jimbo flicks through the Totally Almanac on this week and there's a Torres themed quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones, Lucy OIiva and Jesse Howard.

Jimbo assembles Benji Lanyado, Jay Harris and Duncan Alexander for a feast of footballing chatter ahead of an enticing MD17 in the Premier League. We begin with events in the three midweek League Cup quarter-final ties - which saw Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle progress to the semi's, soon to be joined by either Arsenal or Crystal Palace. There was Cherki's outrageous strike, Garnacho showing his class - and more injury woes for Eddie Howe to navigate. Then it's full steam ahead with the weekend's PL action. How will Manchester United fare at form side Aston Villa after their bonkers 4-4 draw with Bournemouth on Monday night? Can the Gunners arrest their poor away form when they make the trip to take on Everton on Saturday evening? And will Tottenham v Liverpool live up to its chaotic and free-scoring reputation?!

Jimbo’s got the Euro crew alongside him for a dive into the wild and wonderful world of football from across the continent…  We start in Italy, where the title race took yet more twists and turns as Milan and Napoli both dropped points to allow Inter to take top spot. Plus - Fiorentina’s plight deepens after their latest defeat leaves them eight points from safety in Serie A.   Over in Germany, Bayern had a scare as they were staring down the barrel of defeat to bottom of the table Mainz, before - of course - Harry Kane stepped up to convert a penalty and take a point back to Munich… and somehow still manage to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table!  And in La Liga - Real Madrid picked up a precious three points at Alaves with Xabi Alonso’s job reportedly on the line. But Barcelona stay four points clear after Raphinha’s double made it seven wins in a row for the league leaders.  All that plus ground-hopping recommendations, favourite insults, private emails - and emotional goodbyes.  Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the weekend - but first, an announcement (00.35) • PART 2: Serie A review - Inter take advantage as Fiorentina despair deepens (14.30) • PART 3: Bundesliga review - Kane strikes late, Jobe sees red (30.50) • PART 4: Ligue 1 review - Lens top for Christmas, not so nice for Nice (42.50) • PART 5: La Liga review - Alonso safe… for now - while Espanyol impress (44.30) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo invites Daniel Storey, Reuben Pinder and Colin Millar for a Sunday night scour through the Premier League weekend. In the title race, Man City dispose admirably of Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park, while Villa make it a remarkable 10 wins from 11 league matches by beating West Ham. But it's a far more nervy victory for leaders Arsenal who survive an almighty scare in stoppage time from basement boys Wolves. The first Premier League Wear-Tyne derby in a decade is decided by a Nick Woltemade own goal as Sunderland's sensational season just gets better and better. But why are Newcastle so feeble going forward? But Tottenham's campaign takes a turn for the worse as they're thrashed 3-0 by Forest at the City Ground. Was this a performance that gets managers sacked? Plus Mo Salah's off to AFCON, Dominic Calvert-Lewin's on fire and Enzo Maresca is very unhappy with someone.

Jimbo's got Jay Harris, Jack Lang and Mark Carey in tow for a round up of all of Wednesday night's Champions League action - and a look ahead to the weekend's Premier League festivities. We've got the fallout from Manchester City's 2-1 win at Real Madrid - who are now on a run of just two wins in their last eight matches in all competitions. So is Xabi Alonso's job still well and truly under threat? Plus, Madueke shines as Arsenal maintain their perfect UCL campaign so far in their 3-0 win at Club Brugge - while it's the curse of the late goal again for Newcastle as they were held to a 2-2 draw out in Leverkusen. Plenty to look forward to this weekend in *our* league - including the first Premier League Wear-Tyne derby at the Stadium of Light in just over 10 years! Chris Weatherspoon is with us to gauge the excitement in and around Sunderland ahead of the game. Elsewhere - can Palace finally beat Pep at Selhurst? Will Villa show they're serious title contenders when they travel to West Ham? And can Everton beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 1994?!

For the first time since 2004!  Over in Italy, Milan continued their remarkable record against Serie A’s big boys in their 1-0 win over Lazio.

Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Liam Tharme alongside him in Totally Towers to look back on an incident-filled Wednesday night of Champions League action - and to look ahead to MD13 in the Premier League. Liverpool's season reached a new nadir at Anfield, beaten 4-1 by PSV to make in 9 defeats in their last 12 games for Arne Slot's side. Andy Jones was at the game and drops by to talk us through the latest horror show for the Reds. Arsenal meanwhile maintained their perfect start in the Champions League as they inflicted a first defeat of the season on Bayern Munich in their 3-1 win. Just how good was that second half performance in particular for the Gunners? No such luck for Tottenham - beaten 5-3 in a rollercoaster game at PSG - but are there at least reasons to be positive unlike last weekend's dismal showing in the North London derby? Jay Harris joins us live from the Gare du Nord to reflect on Spurs' showing. Then it's all eyes on the upcoming Premier League weekend - and a top of the table clash as Chelsea host Arsenal at Stamford Bridge no less.

Jimbo's joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Benji Lanyado to round up a sensational midweek of international action - and look ahead to the return of domestic matters as the Premier League looms. Scotland fans are still revelling in the extraordinary events of Tuesday night as Steve Clarke's side booked their place at a World Cup for the first time in 28 years following their dramatic stoppage-time win over Denmark at Hampden Park. Laura Brannan was there - and joins us to relive the emotional scenes in Glasgow. Elsewhere, Wales put on a show in their 7-1 thrashing of North Macedonia to secure second spot and home advantage in the play-offs, which we have to wait until March to enjoy. Then it's all eyes on the weekend's Premier League action, including the small matter of Sunday afternoon's North London Derby. Can Tottenham win away at Arsenal for the first time in 15 years in the league? Can Eddie Howe break his dismal record against Manchester City when his Newcastle host Pep's men on Saturday evening? And can West Ham continue their resurgence on the road at Bournemouth!? All that plus BMW's, handsome Rob Edwards' first game as Wolves boss - and Nuno's love of horses.

Jimbo welcomes Natalie Gedra, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams into the pod after a phenomenal international weekend. The Republic of Ireland complete a remarkable comeback in Budapest to keep themselves in the World Cup and into the play-offs. Troy Parrott is the hat-trick hero. Gavin Cooney from The 42 was there. Similarly Scotland looked dead and buried after an hour in Greece on Saturday but they now have a huge clash with Denmark in Glasgow on Tuesday. Win the match and the Tartan Army will be heading to a first World Cup since 1998.

Jimbo’s got Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Seb Stafford-Bloor all along for the rollercoaster ride through the weekend’s action across the continent.  We kick things off in France, where PSG have João Neves to thank for their two-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table after his 95th minute winner against Lyon. But chasers Lens and Marseille had wins of their own to keep the pressure on Luis Enrique’s side.  In the Bundesliga - Bayern didn’t win a game! But neither did Leipzig or Dortmund, meaning Vincent Kompany’s men have actually extended their lead at the top of the table to six points despite the 2-2 draw at Union Berlin.  In Spain, Real Madrid were lucky to come away from Rayo Vallecano with a point - which Barcelona took full advantage of in their 4-2 win at Celta Vigo, featuring a hat-trick from 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski. A special guest joins us from Vigo… nothing to do with Nando’s….  And in Serie A, are we seeing a repeat of Napoli’s last title defence?! Antonio Conte made some… interesting comments after his side were beaten 2-0 by Bologna to fall behind Inter and Roma at the top of the table.  Plus - what’s going on at Ajax?! Dutch football expert Michiel Jongsma joins us to explain some of the fun and games in the Eredivisie - and whether a certain ten Hag might be making a return…  Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Ligue 1 review - PSG’s late winner and billionaire v billionaire (07.45) • PART 3: Bundesliga review - does no one want to stop Bayern?

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Tim Spiers after a dramatic Matchday 11 in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola celebrates his 1000th game as a manager with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over champions Liverpool. Are the Reds out of the race? Meanwhile City look back to their best as they close the gap on leaders Arsenal to 4 points. That's because of a last-gasp equaliser for Sunderland at the Stadium of Light as the Gunners concede not once but twice! There are big wins on Sunday for Forest over Leeds, Brentford over Newcastle and most impressively Villa over Bournemouth by four goals to nil. Spurs are also denied by a stoppage-time leveller on Saturday as De Ligt pops up to keep Man United's unbeaten run going. And bottom club Wolves are on the verge of appointing Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards as their new gaffer. Can he make history and keep them up?

Jimbo's accompanied by Charlie Eccleshare, Mark Carey and Duncan Alexander for a closer inspection of Wednesday night's Champions League action - and a look ahead to MD11 in the Premier League. In the UCL there was end-to-end chaos in Bruges, potentially costly dropped points for Chelsea out in Azerbaijan - and a sensational header from Dan Burn as Newcastle picked up their third straight European victory. But - as City blew away Dortmund - is the disparity between the Premier League and the other sides across the continent growing bigger and bigger? Then it's back to domestic affairs - and the small matter of Manchester City v Liverpool on Sunday afternoon as both sides seek out a win to try and keep pace with leaders Arsenal. But could the Gunners have already stretched the gap to nine points if they can be the first side to win at the Stadium of Light this season on Saturday evening? All that plus the Europa League final rematch, the battle for Pease Pottage services - and bags of snakes. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

It's a midweek Totally Extra and Jimbo is joined in the studio by Tom Williams, Jack Lang and Dan Kilpatrick to discuss Tuesday night's Champions League games. It's been a good week for Liverpool who beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield and have put the brakes on their 'crisis'. PSG were undone by Luis Diaz and a 10 man Bayern whose unbelievable run continues under Vincent Kompany. Meanwhile a good night for North London as Spurs beat Copenhagen 4-0 and Arsenal won 3-0 away at Slavia Prague, breaking the record for youngest Champions League player ever.

Jimbo, Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle are all aboard for your latest Euro Edition - with a pretty mouthwatering MD4 upon us in the Champions League.  We begin with some of those key midweek battles including yet another showdown between PSG and Bayern, the Trent/ Alonso Derby as Real Madrid head back to Anfield - and the meeting of minds as Marseille v Atalanta pits Roberto De Zerbi against Ivan Jurić. Domestically, in Serie A Luciano Spalletti began life as Juve manager with a 2-1 win at Cremonese - and he’s not shy about their title ambitions this season, just four points behind Napoli in top spot.  Real Madrid maintained their commanding position at the top of the La Liga table - but are things all as they seem behind the scenes under Xabi Alonso’s management?  After a peculiar round of results in midweek PSG got back to winning ways and are two points clear at the top of Ligue 1 - while Monaco tasted defeat for the first time under Sébastien Pocognoli. And in the Bundesliga - there’s questions around Dortmund’s identity under Niko Kovač - and what the expectations are for Bayer Leverkusen as they were outclassed by a seemingly unstoppable Bayern.  Plus - the ongoing Nando’s animosity continues - and garlic bread is added to the equation…   Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Champions League MD4 standout fixtures (11.20) • PART 3: Serie A review - Spalletti’s bright start and Napoli’s big week (21.10) • PART 4: La Liga review - Unrest at Madrid despite near perfect start?

At the bottom, Wolves part ways with Vitor Pereira after their winless start continues at Fulham, while it’s a first victory at West Ham for Nuno against Newcastle.

There’s only one place to start - and that’s with events at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday afternoon as Real put an end to Barca’s recent Clásico dominance in typically tempestuous and dramatic fashion.  Over in Italy, it was eight games without a win too many for Igor Tudor - dismissed by Juventus after their 1-0 defeat at Lazio. Meanwhile, Napoli went back top but lost KDB in bizarre circumstances - and back-flipping Jamie Vardy opened his Cremonese account!  In a shock twist of fate Harry Kane *didn’t* score for Bayern Munich this weekend, but it didn’t matter as they made it 13 wins from 13 games in all competitions in their 3-0 victory at Gladbach. Closest challengers Leipzig continued their sensational form as they put six past Augsburg.  And in Ligue 1, PSG are back on top thanks to their 3-0 win at Brest - taking full advantage of the defeat handed out to Marseille by high-flying Lens who are now up to second in the table!

Meanwhile, Chelsea's young guns routed Ajax - with three teenagers on the scoresheet for the first time in UCL history. So five goals each for the Reds and Blues - no such luck for Spurs, who were lucky to come away from Monaco with a point. Attention then turns to domestic matters and another weekend of enticing fixtures in *our* league - including the battle of defence v attack as Arsenal host Palace, Manchester United going for an unthinkable three wins in a row against bogey side Brighton - and the Jordan Henderson Derby as Brentford promise to provide another tricky test for Arne Slot's side in West London.

Real’s narrow 1-0 win at Getafe sets us up beautifully for Sunday afternoon’s Clásico… It was goals galore in Ligue 1 as Marseille put six past Le Havre, while PSG and Strasbourg played out a 3-3 thriller on Friday night.

Jimbo opens the Totally Almanac in 2006 and is joined by Duncan Alexander, Benji Lanyado and special guest Alan Curbishley to discuss an unforgettable West Ham season. It was the tale of two Alan's and two Argentinians with Alan Pardew sacked, Alan Curbishley brought in and Carlos Tevez and Javier Mascherano pitching up in East London to almost everyone's surprise. A baptism of fire for the new Icelandic owners as the club eventually pulled off the great escape on the final day by completing a double against the champions Man Utd.  Curbishley tells Jimbo about the pivotal moment he sat down with Tevez and his interpretor to inspire his season saving goals. It didn't end there though with Sheffield United taking them to court over the Tevez and Mascherano deal and Curbishley leaving, never to manage again. Plus two West Ham 06/07 themed quiz questions from Duncan. Produced by Jesse Howard, Lucy Oliva and Charlie Jones.

Jimbo assembles Natalie Gedra, Dom Fifield and Duncan Alexander for another dose of Totally as we gear up for the return of the Premier League - and look back on the midweek international action. England became the first European nation to qualify for the World Cup on Tuesday night after their 5-0 win over Latvia. But what are the key selection headaches that will be troubling Thomas Tuchel? And who's running out of time to secure their place on the plane come next summer? Elsewhere, Sweden have sacked Jon Dahl Tomasson after somehow conspiring to pick up just one point in his four games in charge, leaving their hopes of qualification in a highly perilous position. And it's been a rollercoaster of an international break for Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil - hammering South Korea 5-0 but then handed a 3-2 defeat by Japan in Tokyo which has gone down predictably well back in South America... Then, it's full steam ahead to MD8 in the Premier League. We've got the intrigue of high-flying Palace v Bournemouth, Liverpool looking to end their three-match losing steak against Manchester United, who are on a one-match winning streak of their own - while Ange's increasingly precarious position at Forest faces its next test with Chelsea visiting the City Ground. All that plus Grand Sumo, Arctic Circle sackings - and 'Ndiaye Will Always Love You'. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo has Tom Williams, Mark Carey and Matt Davies-Adams for company as the international break heats up. England will qualify for the World Cup with a win in Latvia on Tuesday. Was Thomas Tuchel right to call out the fans for a lack of noise in the win over Wales? Scotland’s World Cup destiny stays in their own hands but fans are left feeling pretty pessimistic about their performance levels. Unlike the Faroe Islands who also boast two wins out of two this week. Away from the international scene, Jack Wilshere is the new Luton manager, Steven Gerrard is not the new Rangers manager and could Sean Dyche be set to replace Ange Postecoglou as Forest manager? Plus Megan Feringa joins us for a round-up of the action from the WSL where Chelsea continue to win without playing that well, while reports of Barcelona’s demise seem to have been premature.

Jimbo flicks through the Totally Almanac once again and lands in 1995 with a signing that transformed both Arsenal and the Premier League, Dennis Bergkamp. He is joined by Duncan Alexander, Michael Cox and ex-teammate of the so called 'Iceman', Adrian Clarke to look back at one of the most technically gifted players ever to play in the English top flight. From so many memorable and impossible goals, to perfect pinpoint assists but also the lesser mentioned tougher side and grit, why isn't he considered one of the very greatest?

Jimbo's got Duncan Alexander, Colin Millar and Carl Anka along for some international break fun and games. England have been under Thomas Tuchel's tutelage for a year - and his latest squad inclusions and omissions have certainly raised eyebrows. So where do the Three Lions stand at the moment - and how set is the team heading into next summer's World Cup? Plus - a word on the fortunes of the other home nations as qualifying reaches its climax across Europe. CAF qualifiers have thrown up more than a few eye-catching storylines, no least the remarkable Cape Verde on the brink of a place in the 2026 tournament - and the drama surrounding South Africa's docked points. African football expert Maher Mezahi joins us for a deep dive into some of the key issues across the continent. Plus - we react to the news that Uefa have 'reluctantly' granted permission for La Liga and Serie A to stage a game each abroad this winter, meaning European league games will be played on different continents for the first time.

Jimbo's joined by Jack Lang, Tom Williams and Liam Tharme at Totally HQ for a look back on all of Wednesday's Champions League festivities - and a look ahead to an intriguing weekend of Premier League action before heading into the October international break. There was PSG getting the better of Barcelona, Eric Dier coming up clutch for Monaco against Man City late on - and wins for Arsenal and Newcastle in MD2 of the league phase. Then we turn our attention to domestic affairs, pondering whether Nuno's West Ham can make it three consecutive wins for the Hammers at Arsenal, whether it's Chelsea or Liverpool who'll arrest their mini-slumps at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening - and whether Brentford can do a job on Pep's side yet again at the Gtech. Plus - could it be 50 and out for Amorim as Manchester United host high-flying Sunderland at Old Trafford?

Jimbo assembles the Euro crew as Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle chat through all the weekend’s domestic drama - and look ahead to MD2 in the Champions League.  In Serie A, there was a statement of intent from Milan in their 2-1 win over Napoli on Sunday night to take Max Allegri’s side top of the table. They’re on 12 points alongside the men from Naples and Roma - who made it four wins from five against Hellas Verona. Real Madrid were handed a shock on Saturday afternoon - beaten 5-2 by city rivals Atleti to end their perfect start to the season in emphatic fashion. Elsewhere, injury-ravaged Barcelona took full advantage - into first place after their come from behind, 2-1 win over Real Sociedad. But what shape are they in to take on PSG on Wednesday night? Speaking of - the French champions eased to a 2-0 win over Auxerre after their defeat by Marseille last Monday. Lyon moved level on points at the top with Luis Enrique’s side courtesy of a goal from Tyler Morton in their 1-0 victory at Lille.  And in the Bundesliga - Harry Kane smashed yet more records, as his brace in Bayern’s 4-0 win over Werder Bremen meant he became the fastest player this century to reach 100 goals for a club playing in one of Europe's top five leagues. All that plus the Labubu black market, Panama hats - and a celebration of 0-0’s.  Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the week - and Le Classique… (00.45) • PART 2: Champions League MD2 preview (14.55) • PART 2: La Liga review - Atleti shock their Madrid rivals (26.05) • PART 3: Serie A review - three teams, 12 points!

For this week's Totally Extra, Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Stuart James to look back at Derby County's infamous Premier League campaign in 2007/08. Wrong place, wrong time for Billy Davies and Paul Jewell whose otherwise decent managerial careers were put under the spotlight with the history-making 11 point season. January business gone wrong, a -69 goal difference and only one win all season, but are they the worst Premier League side ever? Stuart has stories from Swindon's 93-94 season as the panel look at some of the other contenders for this unwanted moniker, including Sheffield Utd in 23-24. Plus, some of football's other unwanted records, including the longest goal drought and the player who had the longest run without a win. Produced by Jesse Howard and Charlie Jones.

We begin with all the League Cup drama - including Ekitike's misguided undressing, Diego Gomez's banger after banger - and Joao Palhinha's overhead kick. There's also reaction to Forest's 2-2 draw with Real Betis in the Europa League on Wednesday night. Then it's all eyes on the Premier League weekend - with the battle of the unbeaten sides at Selhurst Park, Arsenal trying to break their recent St James' hoodoo, Villa hoping to end their worrying start to the season - and Chelsea desperate to recapture some of that Cole Palmer magic after his remarkable first half showing in this fixture last year. All that plus stellar pitches, bucolic walks, tough interviews - and an unfortunate cameraman. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo’s got James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Julien Laurens for company as the Euro gang dive into another busy weekend of action from across the continent.  In La Liga, Real Madrid continued their sensational run of form to begin the season with their latest victory, a 2-0 win over Espanyol featuring two absolute golazo’s from Éder Militão and Kylian Mbappé. They maintained their two-point lead over Barcelona - who beat Getafe 3-0 - with Marcus Rashford starting on the bench due to his poor timekeeping…  Over in France, we were made to wait for Le Classique with dramatic storms sweeping over the Cote d'Azur… don’t worry, Jules will give his reaction to *that* result next week! Thankfully, we were able to talk about a fiery Brittany derby and Monaco’s resurgent Ansu Fati.  In Serie A, Juve were perhaps suffering from a UCL hangover as they were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw at Hellas Verona, while Lorenzo Pellegrini’s remarkable redemption arc at Roma continued as he scored the only goal in Roma’s first win ‘away’ to Lazio since 2016.  And in the Bundesliga, you’ll never guess… Harry Kane is scoring goals! Three of them to be precise - taking his tally to 70 goals in 67 league matches. But he wasn’t the only British export bagging a dreierpack - with Oliver Burke getting three of his own in Union Berlin’s 4-3 victory at Frankfurt!  Plus - we’ve got plenty of Ballon d’Or chat, loud helicopters and particularly cheeky Nandos…  Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the week & Ballon d’Or chat (00.40) • PART 2: La Liga review - Real keep winning with Madrid derby round the corner (20.55) • PART 3: Ligue 1 review - Emegha shows his commitment to Strasbourg (35.40) • PART 4: Serie A review - worrying times for Fiorentina, Lazio & Torino (44.35) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - goal machine Kane - and Burke! (54.35) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Jay Harris and Adrian Clarke for company, reacting to an enthralling Matchday 5 in the Premier League. Man City were seconds away from a victory at the Emirates in a distinctly un-Pep performance before Gabriel Martinelli struck to make it 1-1. But champions Liverpool go 5 points clear after their Merseyside derby win on Saturday. Is Ryan Gravenberch the player of the season so far? Elsewhere Wolves are rock bottom with no points, Villa scored but couldn't beat 10-man Sunderland and Chelsea's bad run at Old Trafford continued.

Meanwhile Foden shone and Haaland became the fastest ever player to reach 50 Champions League goals, as Man City beat a 10-man Napoli 2-0.

Jimbo, Charlie Eccleshare, Colin Millar and Duncan Alexander assemble to pore over Tuesday and Wednesday's pretty tasty Matchday 1 Champions League ties. Another late Liverpool goal? You don't say! We begin with Wednesday night at Anfield and the dramatic 3-2 win over Atletico, before turning attention to Chelsea's self-inflicted wounds in their 3-1 defeat by a superb Harry Kane-led Bayern Munich. There's reflections on the wins for Tottenham and Arsenal on Tuesday night - and the rest of the action including the sacking of Bruno Lage at Benfica which seems to be opening the door for the return of a rather famous manager... There was chaos in Turin, PSG purring, Trent limping off and headers aplenty elsewhere across the 12 matches we've seen so far - with no doubt more entertainment to come tonight. We've got Carabao Cup fun - including Swansea's remarkable comeback against Ange's Forest - before a look ahead to the Premier League weekend that awaits! Remember, we're back on Friday to reflect on Thursday night's Champions League action and preview the rest of the weekend's matches. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

The Euro crew are back as Jimbo, Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Seb Stafford-Bloor (in person!) assemble for a bumper look ahead to Matchday 1 in the Champions League.  Barcelona proved it’s a case of no Yamal, no stadium, no problem - routing Valencia 6-0 in front of less than 6,000 fans at the Johan Cruyff Stadium. But it’s Real who continue to set the early pace - reduced to 10-men but still able to get the better of Sociedad to maintain their perfect start to the season.  The game of the weekend came in Serie A, where the Derby d'Italia certainly didn’t disappoint as the Thuram brothers took centre stage in a 4-3 thriller in Turin. Plus - Antonio Conte 2.0 shows he’s not as inflexible as everyone thinks - with his Napoli side coasting to a 3-1 win at Fiorentina to also make it three wins from three at the start of the campaign.  Bayern warmed up for the visit of Chelsea with an emphatic 5-0 Bundesliga victory over Hamburg on Saturday, while Leverkusen got the post-ten Hag era off to a winning start in their 3-1 beating of Frankfurt - despite being reduced to nine men!  PSG suffered injury blows aplenty in their 2-0 win over Lens which featured an emotional goodbye to one of their own - Presnel Kimpembe - after more than 20 years at the club. Plus, how equipped are Marseille to come away from the Bernabéu with a result in one of the most intriguing ties of the round? All that plus training ground cats, Charli xcx’s wedding, nights out in Monaco and a whole lot of innuendo (we can only apologise).   Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the week or fortnight or whenever - and a UCL tease (00.45) • PART 2: La Liga review - Barca win big while Madrid stay perfect (11.40) • PART 3: Serie A review - 4-3 thriller in Turin and a new look Conte (26.10) • PART 4: More Serie A - just for Jules!

City sweep United aside in the Manchester derby, with Erling Haaland adding to his massive goal tally this week. For the 4th time this season, it's a late winner from Liverpool as Mo Salah's penalty at Burnley keeps the champions top of the table. Arsenal's new signings impress in the 3-0 victory over Ange Postecoglou's Forest. And it's more misery for West Ham, Wolves and goalless Villa. Plus great headers, ref cams and the latest evolution in non-celebrations.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Michael Cox and Pedro Pinto to reminisce on Jose Mourinho's trailblazing Porto side. The panel look back on a time when this young, refreshing coach from Portugal turned Porto into world beaters, winning the UEFA Cup, 2 Primeira Liga's, 2 Portuguese cups and eventually the Champions League, with a talented side more attacking than you remember. His European success, his way with words and his iconic touchline celebration at Old Trafford were most people in the UK's introduction to Mou, in what would become a long and unforgettable career. It could have all been so different too; it was 25 years ago this month that Mourinho got that first managerial role at Benfica but they let him go and the rest is history.

Jimbo's joined by Adrian Clarke, Benji Lanyado and Duncan Alexander as we gear up for a tasty weekend of enticing fixtures as the Premier League returns after the international break. We begin with the news that broke (very) late on Monday night/ early Tuesday morning with Nuno Espirito Santo relieved of his duties at Nottingham Forest - replaced by Ange Postecoglou before lunchtime. Matt Davies from the Forest Focus podcast drops by to give his take on the dramatic week at the City Ground. So how will they fare against Arsenal on Saturday?! There's a recap of all the midweek international action - including England turning on the style in their 5-0 win out in Serbia. Plus, Norway took a huge stride towards the 2026 World Cup as they put just the ELEVEN goals past Moldova on Tuesday evening! Tor-Kristian Karlsen brings us a flavour of the excitement building back in Oslo and beyond. And of course, we've got all the build-up to the Premier League weekend - and the small matter of a Manchester derby to look forward to at the Etihad. Meanwhile, can Scott Parker avoid a 9-0 defeat on his return to Anfield? Can Jack Grealish get another two assists against his old side Villa?! And will West Ham prove that shock win at Forest last time out wasn't a fluke when they host rivals Tottenham? Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo's got Matt Davies-Adams, Michael Cox and Tom Williams alongside him to run the rule over a busy weekend of international qualifiers and WSL action. England's 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park was perhaps predictably drab, but it was goals galore elsewhere and records broken for the likes of Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands - not to mention emotional scenes in Buenos Aires after Lionel Messi's last match on home soil with Argentina. There's a chance to reflect on the news that broke late on Thursday that Daniel Levy is to leave Tottenham after nearly 25 years as the league’s longest-serving executive chairman. And the brand new WSL season got underway in some style with Chelsea continuing their remarkable unbeaten run, Olivia Smith scoring a banger on her Emirates debut - and Ornella Vignola bagging a hat-trick on her debut at Anfield in the Merseyside derby! We've got epic away days, BBQs, sinkholes and Italy actually looking good in a World Cup qualifier for once... Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Felipe Cardenas and Luis Miguel Echegaray to discuss one of the great forgotten sides of the last three decades - the Colombia team of the early 90s. Led by Carlos Valderrama and sprinkled with the antics of goalkeeper Rene Higuita, Colombia captured the affections of many neutrals at Italia 90 and an iconic 5-0 win in Argentina saw them installed amongst the favourites for USA 94. Amid the backdrop of death threats from the cartels, a side featuring Asprilla and Rincon were eliminated early with Andres Escobar tragically murdered 10 days after scoring a crucial own goal. Not the only Escobar in this remarkable story. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1a: The best hamburger in Atlanta and Duncan’s quiz question (02.30) • PART 1b: Big Colombian football anniversaries (07.30)  • PART 2: The birth of toque toque (15.30) • PART 3: Colombia at Italia 90 and the 5-0 win in Argentina (26.00) • PART 4: USA 94 and the murder of Andres Escobar (40.00) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Natalie Gedra and Daniel Storey to discuss a busy transfer deadline day as well as the upcoming internationals. Isak to Liverpool but no Marc Guehi, Muani to Spurs and new keepers in Manchester as transfer deadline day shuts with a flurry of action and record spend in the Premier League. Newcastle have a new big man and little man up top, Arsenal have yet another left back and which of Villa's loans will be a hit? Internationals are back and Natalie Gedra tells us about the new look Brasil under Ancelotti and the panel discuss Thomas Tuchel's England and some pressure on him to entertain against Andorra and Serbia. Plus Megan Feringa drops in to discuss the return of the WSL after another barnstorming Euros and yet more lionesses success this summer. Produced by Jesse Howard and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo’s got James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Julien Laurens alongside him for a whole lot of European football chit-chat after an eventful transfer deadline day.  We begin over in Italy, where Jamie Vardy’s now having a party in Cremona after his late move to newly-promoted Cremonense. Speaking of strikers - will the arrival of Rasmus Hojlund cement Napoli’s status as favourites for the Serie A title?    Next stop - Ligue 1 - where it was goals galore on Saturday, as Lille put seven past Lorient in an extraordinary second half showing and Toulouse v PSG finished 3-6 with a Joao Neves masterclass… where he scored a hat-trick featuring two overhead kicks!  Over in the Bundesliga, Erik ten Hag’s short and fraught spell as Bayer Leverkusen manager was brought to a swift end following their collapse against 10 men in Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Bremen. So where did it all go so wrong? And where do they turn next?  And in La Liga, Barcelona felt the benefit of VAR going awry - but they could only draw with Rayo Vallecano as Real Madrid took advantage as they continued their perfect start to the campaign under Xavi Alonso.   All that - plus the curse of being a former Manchester United manager, unsavoury scenes at the Leagues Cup final in Seattle - and the Sound of Music! Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: A deep dive into Salzburg - and some moments of the week! (00.45) • PART 2: Serie A review: Vardy's latest party and are we sleeping on Juve?

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, JJ Bull and Tim Spiers into the fray after a weekend of significant action in the Premier League. It’s a low-key clash between last season’s top two, settled by an incredible Szoboszlai free-kick for Liverpool. Are Arteta’s Arsenal still too negative in big games? Back-to-back defeats for Man City, as Brighton make it Pep’s worst ever start to a season. Has City’s air of invincibility gone forever? Elsewhere on Sunday, there are impressive away wins for West Ham at Forest and Palace at Villa. Are Unai Emery’s goalless side the new crisis club in the Premier League? Plus sexy Everton, N-Sync and Bournemouth for the top 6? Produced by Charlie Jones.

On this week's Totally Extra, Jimbo is joined by Julien Laurens, Duncan Alexander and Michael Cox to celebrate the career of the famous French prodigy/journeyman - Nicolas Anelka. His footballing CV is unique - from Clairefontaine academy and PSG to Mumbai City via 6 Premier League clubs, and spells in Spain,Turkey and Italy. Famed for his blistering pace and a penchant for rounding the keeper, but also for his regular fallings out with managers around the globe, resulting in his nickname 'Le Sulk'. He won leagues, cups and a Champions League with Real Madrid but many feel it could have been much more for the frontman that Henry said was better than he was. Produced by Jesse Howard and Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Welcome to Totally Extra - Jules' love of cricket, Duncan’s quiz question and Coxy’s dining room table (00'40) • PART 2: This week in football - Ballon D’or winner Pavel Nedved is born and Ronaldo makes his debut at Inter (09'00) • PART 3: Opening the Totally almanac on Nicolas Anelka (16'10) • PART 4: Anelka's exile from France and the panel's favourite Anelka moments (46'05) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo's joined by Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Colin Millar to take stock after a night of pure drama at Blundell Park as Manchester United suffered the indignity of being dumped out of the League Cup by League Two Grimsby Town. We dial up a Mariners fan - actor, presenter and comedian Lloyd Griffith - and The Athletic's Manchester United reporter Laurie Whitwell to discuss the extraordinary scenes in Cleethorpes as Ruben Amorim's side plumbed new depths. Then we turn out attention to the weekend's Premier League action - headlined by the small matter of Liverpool v Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday afternoon. How will Liverpool's defensive chaos match up with Arsenal's more measured approach to these big games? Elsewhere, can Tottenham continue their eye-catching start to the season under Thomas Frank when they host Bournemouth? Which Man City will we see at Brighton? And just how bad are West Ham ahead of their trip to the City ground on Sunday? All that plus - age gap passes, minimal touches, cubic roots and chicken dinners. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Grimsby inflict League Cup shame on Man United - with Lloyd Griffith & Laurie Whitwell (01.05) • PART 2a: Matchday 3 look ahead (22.15) • PART 2b: Liverpool v Arsenal preview (24.10) • PART 2c: Brighton v Man City preview (31.30) • PART 2d: Tottenham v Bournemouth preview (35.45) • PART 2e: Chelsea v Fulham preview - Liam Delap = math genus (39.00) • PART 3a: Champions League qualifying fallout (42.00) • PART 3b: Nottingham Forest v West Ham preview (48.20) • PART 3c: Wolves v Everton preview (53.15) • PART 4a: Aston Villa v Crystal Palace preview (56.55) • PART 4b: Sunderland v Brentford preview (60.00) • PART 4c: Leeds v Newcastle preview (62.25) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle for your weekly dose of football chatter from across the continent.  We begin in Germany, where Bayern Munich got their title defence underway in emphatic fashion with a 6-0 thrashing of RB Leipzig. Harry Kane picked up where he left off last season, scoring a 13-minute hat-trick to take him to a ludicrous 65 goals in 64 Bundesliga games. Not such good news for Erik ten Hag’s Leverkusen though - beaten 2-1 by Hoffenheim at the BayArena.  In Ligue 1, despite the chaos off the field Marseille found some unity on it to beat Paris FC 5-2 at the Vélodrome, while PSG recorded another narrow 1-0 win as their underwhelming performances continued. Olivier Giroud stole the headlines with a 91st minute winner for Lille against Monaco - the 350th goal of his professional career! Over in La Liga, there was late drama as Barcelona fought back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Levante. Meanwhile Real Madrid made it two wins from two themselves in far more comfortable circumstances at newly promoted Real Oviedo.  And there were plenty of intriguing scorelines in the first week of Serie A - including Inter’s 5-0 rout of Torino, Max Allegri’s Milan beaten 2-1 by the promoted Cremonense - and KDB kicking off life at Napoli with a goal in their 2-0 victory at Sassuolo - but he'll have to go some way to take Scott's crown... Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Unsatisfactory sausages & moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Bundesliga review - Kane just scores goals - and Leverkusen just look bad (11.35) • PART 3: Ligue 1 review - Marseille chaos continues as Giroud rolls back the years (24.55) • PART 4: La Liga review - Barca stage yet another comeback as Real start strong (35.05) • PART 5: Serie A review - Inter look angry while McTominay still wears the crown (48.05) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Mark Carey for company after an absorbing second weekend of the Premier League season. Tenacious Tottenham make it two wins out of two with yet another victory away to Manchester City. Just how far can Thomas Frank take this side? Arsenal thrash Leeds 5-0 with Viktor Gyökeres grabbing his first goals for the club. But it’s the debut of 15-year-old prodigy Max Dowman that has everyone talking. Everton debut at their new stadium with a 2-0 win over Brighton. Tom Williams was there for us. Nuno makes noises about trouble at Forest but his side battle back to draw at Selhurst Park in the CASico. And what next for West Ham after Graham Potter suffers a home drubbing against his former club Chelsea? Plus Morecambe’s special day and Coventry City - xG destroyers. Produced by Charlie Jones.

This week on show no.2 of your new Saturday morning helping of Totally, Jimbo opens the footballing almanac on Jurgen Klinsmann's page. The German striker made his Premier League debut for Spurs on this week in 1994, and Jimbo gets the band back together - Raphael Honigstein, Juliens Laurens and James Horncastle - to remember the first Jurgen of English football. Famed for his blond locks and his spectacular goals but most memorably on these shores, for his diving for Germany and the subsequent celebration for Spurs. He won the World Cup and the Euros with Germany and had successful spells in Italy and France as well as in his motherland and the Premier League. Produced by Jesse Howard and Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Welcome to Totally Extra - Rapha's fish, Jimbo's Omakase and James's curry with Tonali (00.40) • PART 2: This week in football - Tony Yeboah's volley, the first episode of Match Of The Day and the first ever sub (10.55) • PART 3: Diving into Jurgen Klinsmann's incredible footballing career (14.00) • PART 4: A look at Klinsmann's less successful time as a coach (46.05) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo's got Natalie Gedra, Jay Harris and Dom Fifield along for the ride as we look ahead to Matchday 2 in the Premier League - and discuss some rather hefty transfer news that might have caught your eye... That's right - it looks like Tottenham have been gazumped to the signing of Eberechi Eze by their old friends Arsenal... yikes! So does this mean that the Gunners really do have all the tools to win the Premier League? And where do Thomas Frank's Spurs turn now with a squad that looks ill-equipped to deal with the pressures of a busy schedule? There's tasty ties everywhere you look this Bank Holiday weekend - no more so than Monday night at St James' Park as Newcastle host Liverpool. What's the latest with Alexander Isak after Tuesday night's statement tête-à-tête? Elsewhere - there's more beef to be had between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest at Selhurst. Is Graham Potter already in big trouble against former side Chelsea on Friday night? And what sort of Tottenham will turn up at Manchester City - with Pep's side having won just 1 of their last 4 against the visitors at the Etihad?! All that plus big waterslides, calamitous defending at Ibrox and a potentially sticky start to life at Hill Dickinson Stadium for the Toffees. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1a: Eze on his way to Arsenal - not Spurs (02.30) • PART 1b: Newcastle v Liverpool preview - the latest on the Isak and Wissa transfer sagas (12.00)  • PART 2a: Man City v Tottenham preview (21.15) • PART 2b: Arsenal v Leeds preview (26.00) • PART 3a: West Ham v Chelsea preview (32.15) • PART 3b: Sunday's early action - Everton v Brighton, Palace v Forest (37.00) • PART 4a: Fulham v Man United preview (41.45) • PART 4a: The rest of the Premier League (45.00) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo’s got the Euro gang back together as Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle return for a new season of hijinx and drama across the continent.  We begin in France, where underdogs PSG got their title defence underway with a 1-0 win away at Nantes on Sunday night. But is there anyone who can close the 19-point gap? And are Marseille already in self-destruct mode?  The Liga season is well and truly underway, with holders Barcelona getting their campaign off to a winning start against the nine men of Mallorca. Real don’t play until Tuesday night - but how equipped are Xavi Alonso’s new-look side to topple Barca?  Over in Italy, we’re in store for yet another fascinating title race. The news that Romelu Lukaku is set to miss the first three months of the season with a muscle strain could open the door for a challenger to Napoli’s crown. So will it be a resurgent Milan or perhaps Gasperini’s Roma that put up the greatest fight?  And in Germany, Harry Kane’s won another trophy! Bayern take home the Supercup. While there are still some areas of concern for Vincent Kompany’s side - have the teams around them done enough over the summer to produce a title race?  Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Welcome back! Just not in French… And moments of the weekend (00.50) • PART 2: Ligue 1 review - PSG off to winning start - Marseille are not (08.55) • PART 3: La Liga review - Barca the favourites ahead of new-look Madrid?

The Premier League is back and so too are Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Matt Davies-Adams to take in all the Matchday 1 action. Arsenal have their backs against the wall at Old Trafford but come away with all three points. But are there reasons to be cheerful for Ruben Amorim? Man City breeze past Wolves at Molineux as we all consider the players Pep didn’t even have at his disposal. And champions Liverpool secure a dramatic victory over Bournemouth. Are Arne Slot’s side far too open? There are big wins for Sunderland and Forest which are impressive but might tell us quite a lot about West Ham and Brentford. Plus Eze, Richarlison and Birmingham’s perfect winning goal. Produced by Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: The Premier League is back!

Welcome to your Saturday morning dose of Totally! This is a space where we let our figurative hair down and free ourselves from the relentless merry-go-round of this season. We’ll have nostalgia, we'll have trivia, we'll have whatever nonsense tickles our fancy really. And we'll be taking a look back through the annuls into the week in football that was through the years... Today we're taking a trip down memory lane and charting the remarkable life and career of Mario Balotelli - who happened to celebrate his 35th birthday on the 12th of August. A great entertainer, social media legend, fireworks enthusiast, bib denier, misunderstood character, sensational striker and hugely significant cultural figure - from Inter to Genoa and everywhere in between. Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo's joined by Tom Williams, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers as we continue our look ahead to the 2025-26 Premier League season - and after shining the spotlight on the six teams competing in the Champions League during our last episode, today we turn our focus to the rest of the sides in the top flight. But we begin in Udine, where Tottenham saw a two-goal lead dashed to be beaten 4-3 by PSG on penalties in Wednesday night's Super Cup final. Despite defeat - are there reasons to be positive for Spurs fans? Back to domestic matters, and there's plenty of intrigue around the return of Sunderland after an eight-year spell out of the big time. The Athletic's football finance writer and Mackem Chris Weatherspoon joins us to consider their chances of staying up - before we run the rule over how fellow promoted sides Leeds and Burnley could fare after breaking the 100-point barrier in the Championship last season. Elsewhere - surely Manchester United can't be as bad as they were last season? Laurie Whitwell stops by to talk us through the pros and cons of their pre-season - and hopes for this campaign with the pressure on Ruben Amorim to turn their fortunes around. Will Everton be interesting this season with Jack Grealish added to the mix? Are Brighton the side most likely to upset the established 'big six' this time round? What kind of season will Forest have after the unexpected highs of last season? And are Brentford the 'B' team at risk of get dragged into a relegation scrap? All those questions and many more answered - plus a low socks convention, bad penalties and regretful friendships. Produced by Jesse Howard and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo's back for the 2025-26 season and he's got Charlie Eccleshare, Duncan Alexander and Daniel Storey alongside him to bring you our first preview episode ahead of the shiny new Premier League campaign. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on the six clubs who qualified for the Champions League last season. Liverpool have made the most eye-catching signings over the summer - but are they favourites to retain their crown? Could world champions Chelsea be the surprise package? Can Arsenal *finally* go from bridesmaid to bride and take home their first title since 03-04? And Will Pep Guardiola's new-look coaching staff help take them back to the heights of seasons past? How will Newcastle recover from their tumultuous off-season? George Caulkin joins us with the latest on the Alexander Isak saga after it was revealed he has no intention to play for the Magpies again - even if he isn't sold. And - can Thomas Frank take Europa League winners Tottenham from 17th in the table to a serious Premier League outfit again? All that plus bad knee slides, petulant teenagers and the plight of Sheffield Wednesday. Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns. For the last time this summer, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1995/96 season, when Keegan's entertainers nearly went all the way. Newcastle were the neutrals' favourites and Man United were in transition with their kids. But a 12 point lead in January evaporated for the Magpies via Cantona, a legendary Keegan outburst and the greatest game in Premier League history. Elsewhere, English clubs were terrible in Europe, Alan Hansen was embarrassed by the Class of 92 and Man City were relegated due to a lack of technology. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns. Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1992/93 season - the dawn of the Premier League. A whole new ball game as Sky Sports called it. Man United ended their 26 year wait for the title, in a campaign transformed by Cantona. Could English football have taken a different tactical trajectory if high-flying Norwich had won the Premier League? Elsewhere, there was Oldham's incredible escape, Brian Clough's demise and big-name clubs being completely bamboozled by the new back pass rule. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Alvaro Romeo on the 2001/02 Champions League season, and that Zidane goal in Glasgow. Was it that good? Perhaps the greatest goal in Champions League final history saw the Spanish overcome upstart German opposition at Hampden. Little did Real Madrid know that this would be their last Champions League title for 12 years. And little did we know that Leverkusen wouldn't be Neverkusen forever. Elsewhere, it was a maiden Champions League campaign for Celtic and Liverpool, and the dawn of a second group stage. Plus Beckham's metatarsal, Las Ketchup and the Proclaimers.

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns. Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein and Julien Laurens on the 1994/95 Champions League season, when invincible Ajax shocked the world. In perhaps the peak of Louis van Gaal's long managerial career, this young crop of mostly homegrown talent went unbeaten in the Eredivisie and the Champions League to take home the top prize. Time to give Jari Litmanen some much overdue love. Elsewhere, it was a campaign of Weah's PSG reaching the semi-finals, Die Hard henchmen and Gary Walsh being embarrassed by Barcelona.

We pay tribute to Kelly, Bronze and co and ponder what the legacy of yet more success will be for England. Jubilation in Nottingham too where Morgan Gibbs-White, on his way to Spurs just a couple of weeks ago, signs a new contract at the City Ground. Plus Alexander Isak to Liverpool - the stuff of madmen’s dreams? Elsewhere, reports indicate that West Ham's Lucas Paqueta might not face a lifetime ban for spot-fixing.

Jimbo's got Michael Cox, Matt Davies-Adams and Tom Williams alongside him to look back on two incredibly dramatic semi-final clashes at Euro 2025. It's England and Spain who progress to Sunday's final in Basel after a double dose of extra time - with the Lionesses relying on super-subs Michelle Agyemang & Chloe Kelly yet again to turn things around against Italy, while for the world champions it was the best player in the world Aitana Bonmatí who produced a moment of magic in their 1-0 victory over Germany. We've got the latest transfer news - with Ekitike officially in at Liverpool, Gyökeres all but officially in at Arsenal - and Alexander Isak NOT joining up with Newcastle on their pre-season tour of east Asia due to injury...

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns. Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein and Duncan Alexander on the 1996/97 Champions League season, the last one with only champions in it It was also the last time that Juventus were defending champions and the only time Borussia Dortmund went all the way and won the trophy in Munich.

Will it be England awaiting in the final with Sarina’s side big favourites ahead of their semi with Italy? Marcus Rashford is Barcelona-bound as the Catalan club agree to take him and his wages for next season. What now for the rest of the bomb squad at Man United? And how do you pronounce Mbeumo? Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Hugo Ekitike and are maybe still interested in Alexander Isak. Plus Noni Madueke is an Arsenal player and Evan Ferguson is off to Rome.

Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Sasha Goryunov and Alvaro Romeo on the 2004/05 season, the one with the greatest final in the competition’s history. In Rafa Benitez’s first season in charge of Liverpool, the Reds finished level on points with Bolton and won the Champions League in Istanbul.

England are through to the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euros after a 6-1 demolition of Wales. But even though they were runners up, have they ended up on the good side of the draw? Where Crystal Palace end up is a big debate right now as UEFA demote them from the Europa League to the Conference League for breaching multi-club ownership rules. Are the Eagles victims of their own naivety? And there’s some big transfers going on in the Premier League. Gyökeres to Arsenal, Henderson to Brentford and who’s that masquerading as Daniel Levy in North London? Produced by Charlie Jones.

The Club World Cup reaches the semi-final stage with Chelsea taking on Fluminense and PSG up against Mbappe’s Real Madrid. Has Enzo Maresca stumbled upon a more counterattacking style at Stamford Bridge? And can Guler and Garcia continue their superb form for Los Blancos? Speaking of superb, Spain are through to the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euros in some style. But England’s status hangs in the balance after their defeat to France. Are the players fit enough?

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns. Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on that time where Arsenal went the whole season unbeaten. You may have heard of it. It was the arrival of Roman Abramovich at Chelsea that shook English football to its core with unprecedented levels of spending in the summer of 2003. But Arsene Wenger’s Gunners were the team that made history and lifted the title. And all on ITV. The unbeaten record could have gone early in the campaign as Ruud van Nistelrooy lined up to take a penalty at Old Trafford… Elsewhere, it’s a season that will be remembered for Leeds’ relegation, Ronaldo's debut and the most Spursy game ever.

Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams for company as the race for Champions League football gets very interesting. Newcastle make light work of Man United with a 4-1 victory at St James’s Park. Are they the best team in the country right now. And could they finish 2nd? Chelsea come from 2-0 down to Ipswich to salvage a point but fan discontent grows at Stamford Bridge. And it’s squeaky bum time for Nottingham Forest who lose again at home to Everton. Could Moyes do a Nuno next season? Liverpool could win the title next weekend after Van Dijk’s late winner against West Ham. And we ponder the chances of the English clubs in the Champions League next week. Plus Villa Park is great, Spurs are a shambles and goal difference is a lie. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo’s joined by Natalie Gedra, Tom Williams and Duncan Alexander to run the rule over a breathtaking midweek of Champions League action. It turns out Declan Rice is a free-kick specialist?! Lamine Yamal is ludicrously good at football and the man old enough to be his dad Robert Lewandowski isn’t too bad either. PSG prove why they’ve been touted as favourites to win this competition after bamboozling a spirited Villa, plus dark horses Inter take an advantage back to the San Siro.  Away from all the European fun, another big week of Premier League football awaits.  Can Liverpool get back on track against West Ham? And is Mo Salah staying after all?! Can Manchester City get over their recent Crystal Palace hoodoo? Is this the weekend Newcastle take advantage in the race for a top five finish? And can Chelsea avoid the indignity of letting Ipswich do the double over them?

Arsenal v Real, Bayern v Inter, Barca v Dortmund & PSG v Villa await in a fascinating midweek of cup action. We look ahead to each of the ties. On the domestic front, the La Liga title race took another turn as Real Madrid were stunned by Valencia - while Barca were held by Betis but still extended their lead at the top to four points. But was it an opening they’ll rue not taking full advantage of come the end of the season? PSG officially wrapped up the Ligue 1 title with their 1-0 win over Angers - as their quest to go unbeaten continues. Behind them the fascinating race to be the best of the rest continues, with Marseille picking up a much-needed three points while Lyon and Strasbourg put the pressure on Monaco.  In the Bundesliga, Bayern showed their mettle to come from behind to beat a stubborn Augsburg 3-1, their first game since the news broke that club legend Thomas Müller is set to leave at the end of the season. Plus - Dortmund warmed up for their trip to Barcelona with an impressive 4-1 win at Freiburg - but with injury news that could scupper their chances…  And over in Serie A, Inter surrendered a two-goal lead against lowly Parma,Igor Tudor fires up Juve as they put an end to Roma’s seven-match winning streak, and Lazio go route one as they reignite their hopes of a top four finish.  Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the weekend & Champions League quarter-final previews (00.45) • PART 2: Ligue 1 review - PSG crowned as Marseille bounce back (23.40) • PART 3: La Liga review - Barca fail to capitalise on Real’s shock defeat (27.00) • PART 4: Bundesliga review - Dortmund dealt a huge injury blow as Muller signs off (36.30) • PART 5: Serie A review - Inter drop points as the hunt for Europe heats up (51.30) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo's got Matt Davies-Adams, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers alongside him for a deep-dive into all the weekend's Premier League action. We struggled to stay awake through a thoroughly underwhelming goalless Manchester derby - but at least there's time to talk about Kevin De Bruyne being special. Liverpool's recent struggles continued as they were beaten 3-2 at Fulham with the help of some calamitous defending - is their season at risk ending on a sour note even if/ when they lift the Premier League trophy? Southampton were finally put out of their misery - becoming the first team ever to be relegated from the Premier League with seven games to spare. Elias Burke was at the Tottenham Stadium to see Spurs flatter to deceive again despite their 3-1 win. Wolves are all but mathematically safe and Vítor Pereira's out on the town, Palace v Brighton was ill-disciplined but good fun indeed - and is Mikel Arteta really the hottest manager in the top flight? Plus, we preview the huge midweek Champions League clashes that await Arsenal and Aston Villa, with Real Madrid and PSG lying in wait in their quarterfinal first legs. Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Jay Harris into the studio with the Premier League back in full swing. Liverpool maintain their 12 point lead with a Merseyside derby victory, despite the failure of the officials to send off Everton’s James Tarkowski. Do tough guys get an easier time from referees? Bukayo Saka scores on his return for Arsenal but they lose Gabriel and potentially more defenders to injury. How will they cope when Real Madrid visit the Emirates next week? One of the Premier League’s fastest players Anthony Elanga scores the winner for Forest against Man United and it looks like a very exciting end of the season for Villa. This weekend brings us the Manchester derby, a chance for Leicester to break more records and a chance for Thomas Frank to show Chelsea what they could have won.

Over in Spain, three points is also the gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid - who both recorded wins with braces from Mbappe and Lewandowski. Plus, Antony’s Betis just can’t stop winning in a fiery Seville derby.  PSG continued to romp towards the Ligue 1 title - which is now all but mathematically sealed - with an emphatic 6-1 victory at Saint-Etienne, while Strasbourg are on their best run in six years after their impressive 4-2 win over Lyon.

The Nations League quarter-finals see Germany win in Italy and Croatia overcome France thanks to another ridiculously good Luke Modric performance. Belgium lose a 4th game in a row in what was Rudi Garcia’s 4th match in charge. Which makes us wonder why French managers aren’t coaching at elite club level anymore?

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús and Seb Stafford-Bloor for a deep-dive into domestic and European matters across the continent.  Last week’s Champions League first legs left some results more conclusive than others… we’re looking at you, PSV 1-7 Arsenal! But there’s still plenty of intrigue with the ties between Liverpool and PSG, Real and Atleti and Barca and Benfica finely poised.  In La Liga, Real warmed up for their trip across the capital with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano, while Atleti were on the wrong end of that scoreline in a dramatic late defeat at Girona. Meanwhile Barcelona’s game with Osasuna was postponed just 20 minutes before kick-off following the sudden death of first team doctor Carles Miñarro Garcia. In Ligue 1, PSG’s B-team made light work of Rennes to move 16 points clear at the top of the table - while Paulo Fonseca began his nine month (!) touchline ban as he watched his side beat Nice 2-0 from the stands to put themselves right in the mix for European football next season.  Max Callegari - host of Pressing on Canale 5 - joins us to run the rule over all the Serie A action, which included humiliation for Juve, a first win in six for Napoli and spookily similar comebacks for Milan and Inter.  And in the Bundesliga, there was history as for the first time in nearly 20 years Bayern, Leverkusen and Dortmund all lost on the same matchday.
