It’s the first time Como have ever qualified for Europe! But there are grim scenes at the Turin derby, where kick off between Juventus and Torino is delayed for an hour due to clashes between fans. Spain have named their World Cup squad without any Real Madrid players for the first time ever. Are they one of the favourites for the whole tournament?

Aston Villa make light work of Freiburg to claim their first trophy in 30 years and Unai Emery’s 5th Europa League. Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare, Jay Harris and Jacob Tanswell take in another marquee achievement from Villa under Emery and ponder the power the Premier League now has. Last year’s winners Spurs are 90 minutes from salvation or relegation. They need to avoid defeat to Everton and hope that West Ham don’t beat Leeds. Which 60,000 seater stadium will be in the Championship next season? There’s a heck of a race for Europe which could see Bournemouth or Brighton qualify for the Champions League.

The Gunners finally get over the line and win their first title in 22 years, while Spurs are still in the relegation battle. Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Adrian Clarke have a LOT to discuss. Man City’s draw at Bournemouth sees Mikel Arteta’s side confirmed as champions, after three consecutive years as runners up. How did they do it and can they do it again? It looks to be all change at City with the news that Pep Guardiola is set to leave the club in the summer. After a decade of dominance, what next for City, potentially under Enzo Maresca? The relegation battle will go down to the last day after Spurs are beaten at Stamford Bridge to set up a nail-biting final Sunday as West Ham look to survive.

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Colin Millar for company on a very newsworthy penultimate Premier League weekend. It’s Man City who claim the FA Cup and the domestic cup double but runners up Chelsea waste no time in appointing Xabi Alonso as their manager for next season. A coup for BlueCo? Liam Twomey joins us to discuss. How are Liverpool fans feeling about that news? After seeing their team taken to the cleaners by Villa on Friday, Champions League football isn’t guaranteed and the departing Mo Salah has his say about where the team’s gone wrong. West Ham slip deeper into the relegation mire with a 3-1 defeat against Newcastle. They must win their last game and hope Spurs lose their final two matches in order to stay up.

Jimbo is missing Seb Stafford-Bloor, but the usual gang of James Horncastle, Tom Williams and Pol Ballus still have more than enough to talk about as the football season nears its end on the Continent. Barcelona become the first ever team to win La Liga in El Clasico. Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres score the goals as the Catalonians beat Real Madrid 2-0 to confirm the title, and compound misery on what’s been a disastrous week for Los Blancos. Might Jose Mourinho be the answer to their problems? Desiré Doué was the answer for Champions League finalists PSG as they scored late to beat Brest 1-0 and re-establish a six point gap between themselves and second-placed Lens at the top of Ligue 1. Wouldn’t you know it, they play Lens next - a draw would secure the title for the Parisians. In Germany, it’s a wild fight for survival with three teams at the bottom on the same points.

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Tom Williams, Duncan Alexander and very special guest Paul Ince, to open up the Totally Almanac on one of the most iconic premier league players ever, Eric Cantona. Born in Marseille, the enigmatic Frenchman was villainized in his home country after various misdemeanours, but thanks to Gérard Houllier was given a second chance in England. He rocked up for a trial at Sheffield Wednesday, eventually joining Leeds, and before long Alex Ferguson couldn't believe his luck when he was offered the chance to sign the prodigious talent. And the rest is history - Man Utd's new no. 7 was the final piece in Ferguson's puzzle, helping them win multiple trophies, including 4 league titles. His flair and his unique approach to the game changed the Premier League forever, and his infamous 'Kung Fu kick' only added to King Eric's cult status. But how would he fare today? And what would he make of football in 2026? Plus Duncan's Cantona themed quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Why King Eric?

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Jay Harris and Mark Carey to look back on two eventful Champions League semi-finals, and discuss what could be a pivotal weekend of Premier League action. Arsenal will play PSG in the Champions League Final in Budapest at the end of May. The Gunners overcame Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg at the Emirates, winning the tie 2-1 on aggregate. They’ll meet last year’s winners PSG who needed a different kind of performance from last week’s goal-glut to get past Bayern Munich. It finished 1-1 in Bavaria, with the Parisians winning 6-5 on aggregate. Luis Enrique is now looking to become only the second manager in the Champions League era to win the competition two years in a row. Meanwhile, there are only three weekends left in the Premier League season. Manchester City need to beat Brentford to put the pressure on leaders Arsenal, who currently sit five points clear. The Gunners go away to West Ham, who start the weekend in the relegation zone, a point below Spurs who host Leeds on Monday.

Jimbo and the usual team of James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Pol Ballus and Seb Stafford-Bloor sit down to discuss all things European football and look ahead to those all-important Champions League semi-final second legs. Inter are Italian Champions once again. A 2-0 win over Parma confirms the Serie A title with three games to go. Second-placed Napoli are now 12 points adrift after a 0-0 draw at Como. In Spain, Barcelona now only need one point to confirm the La Liga title and, as fate would have it, their next game is Real Madrid! If Barca avoid defeat, it would be the first time a team has won the title in El Clasico. Elsewhere, Atletico make 11 changes in preparation for their second leg against Arsenal, but still win 2-0 in Valencia. Both PSG and Bayern drop domestic points in between their second leg. Bayern have already won the title, but PSG’s nearest rivals Lens can only draw 1-1 with Nice so it’s as you were in the race for Ligue 1.

Jimbo is joined by Dan Kilpatrick, Duncan Alexander and Daniel Storey to discuss Spurs' journey to the 2018-19 Champions League final. The season started with concern after the infamous summer of non-spending with Spurs making zero signings or departures despite Pochettino's remonstrations.

Bayern Munich are German champions for a 35th time. A 4-2 win over Stuttgart secures the title after second-placed Dortmund lose 2-1 to Hoffenheim. Is this the first of an incredible treble for Vincent Kompany’s men this season? In Spain, it’s a first Real Sociedad trophy in front of fans for 38 years as they beat Atletico Madrid on a penalty shootout to win the Copa Del Rey. Delight for the White and Blues, but how might this impact Atleti ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal?

Erling Haaland scores the winner at the Etihad to bring Man City to within 3 points of Arsenal with a game in hand. Is Pep heading towards a 5th title in 6 seasons? Is the race for the top 5 over? Liverpool win the first ever Hill Dickinson Merseyside derby with a 100th minute goal from Virgil Van Dijk. And Chelsea make it 4 defeats in a row without scoring as they lose 1-0 to Man United. It’s another pivotal weekend at the bottom of the table with Spurs seconds away from their first win of 2026 before Brighton equalise.

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.

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?

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.

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?

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 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.

James is joined in the Totally studio by James Horncastle, Tom Williams and Seb Stafford-Bloor with Pol Ballus joining from Barcelona as the Euro crew assemble to discuss this week's continental happenings. Bayern Munich have dropped points for a second weekend running in the Bundesliga.

In Spain, Real left it late to beat Rayo Vallecano 2-1 with Mbappe's winner coming in the 10th minute of injury time.

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.

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?

Jacob Tanswell tells us about a seven day spell that could really cement Villa’s status as title-challengers.

Jimbo’s got helpers James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor & Pol Ballús alongside him for some pre-Christmas cheer of a European variety. 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.

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.

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.

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?!

We begin with the increasingly loud rumblings of discontent in Madrid - as Xabi Alonso’s Real were stunned in a 2-0 defeat by Celta Vigo on Sunday night. How disastrous could it be for the Los Blancos boss if they were to be beaten by Pep’s City on Wednesday night? In Italy, it was an unhappy return to Naples for Luciano Spalletti as his Juve side were beaten 2-1 by Napoli. Elsewhere, Inter put four past a Como side which had been unbeaten in 11 Serie A games. Next up for Cristian Chivu’s side? Liverpool in an even deeper Mo Salah induced crisis. There may be no Jules but we’ve got a quick look at how things panned out in Ligue 1 over the weekend, with Lens still top, PSG putting five past Rennes and Marseille falling off the pace after their defeat at Lille.

And how. What does the future hold for Salah and Slot? Aston Villa shake up the Premier League title race with a last-gasp victory over Arsenal, ending the leaders' 18 game unbeaten run.

We begin in La Liga, where Real Madrid continue to falter - held to their third consecutive draw, this time at the hands of Girona. Barca managed to take advantage and reclaim top stop after their 3-1 win over Alaves - but there’s just a point between each of the top four as the title race hots up! In France, Paul Pogba’s Monaco toppled PSG! But Marseille also managed to drop points! So it’s Lens who go top of the table! 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. It means they’re top of the league - but only on goal difference after Napoli’s narrow 1-0 win at Roma on Sunday night. Plus, the sorry tale of Fiorentina’s winless campaign. And in the Bundesliga, Bayern need TWO stoppage time goals to get the better of lowly St Pauli, stretching their lead at the summit to eight points - while Arsenal loanee Fabio Vieira bagged a 94th minute winner of his own to help Hamburg get the better of Stuttgart.

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. Elsewhere, can Man City get back to winning ways against Leeds? Is West Ham just about the worst place for Liverpool to go in need of a result on Sunday?

While in Spain, there’s signs of discontent at Real Madrid as they dropped yet more points, this time at newly promoted Elche - and that’s before the news that Vini Jr and Xavi Alonso aren’t too chummy… more on that later in the week!

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?!

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.

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.

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.

Meanwhile, Napoli went back top but lost KDB in bizarre circumstances - and back-flipping Jamie Vardy opened his Cremonese account!

Jimbo’s got James Horncastle, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Julien Laurens with him as the Euro crew gear up for MD3 in the Champions League. In La Liga, there were 15-second delays and it was the late show once again for Barcelona who had to rely on another stoppage time winner, this time against bottom of the table Girona. 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. So how will Luis Enrique’s side fare away at a resurgent Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night? We’re running out of superlatives - and records for Harry Kane to break - after his latest goal in Bayern’s dominant 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund. Plus, what hopes of Eintracht Frankfurt piling more misery on Liverpool when they go toe-to-toe on Wednesday evening? And over in Italy, the title race continues to take turn after turn as Napoli and Juve dropped more points while the two Milan sides took advantage, with Serie A’s top four separated by just one point. Meanwhile, the controversy over the decision to plan Milan v Como in Australia isn’t going away… All that plus (more) sumo chat, Potter’s return to Sweden - and lots of jesting about goals vs clean sheets.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Jay Harris and Tom Williams in the studio after the return of the Premier League. 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. Produced by Jesse Howard and Charlie Jones.

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. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: World Cup qualifiers round up (00.50) • PART 2: England 2-0 Andorra (18.30) • PART 3: Truro City's very, very, very long journey, the magic of non-league and the rest of the qualifying action (27.05) • PART 4: Fallout from Daniel Levy's shock Tottenham departure (40.10) • PART 5: A look back on the WSL opening weekend (44.20) Hosted on Acast.

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.

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. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Welcome to Totally Extra - Cotswolds recommendations, sausage pasta, road trips and a quiz question (00.40) • PART 2: This week in football - Triffic Niko Kranjčar, the start of the Premier League and crazy lockdown scorelines (12.00) • PART 3: Why Always Me?

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.

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.

With their backs against the wall for pretty much the whole tournament, Sarina’s side eventually overcome world champions Spain on penalties. 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... Elsewhere, we mark the 25th anniversary of surely the most controversial transfer in history - when Luís Figo swapped Barcelona for Real Madrid, on this day back in the year 2000. And it’s the second Inter Totally semi-final with Julien Laurens and Tom Williams duking it out for a place in the final... Produced by Lucy Oliva.

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. It was a good year to be a German football fan. Auxerre were French champions, Milinko Pantic was top scorer and Roy Hodgson made Javier Zanetti lose his cool. It was a different era.

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. For Carlo Ancelotti’s Milan, it was the second incredible collapse in two seasons.

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.

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.

Shocks aplenty in the last 16 of the Club World Cup with Inter knocked out by Fluminense and holders Manchester City beaten 4-3 by Al-Hilal. We hail the impact of Inzaghi and ask if there’s a blueprint on how to beat City. Chelsea are now flying the flag for England and have added Joao Pedro to their ranks.

Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1998/99 season, when there were many twists and turns but one team won it all. It was the best season ever to be a Man United fan with Sir Alex Ferguson's side taken right down to the wire but winning the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

It was Manuel Pellegrini's Man City that won it but this will always be remembered as the championship Liverpool lost, after Gerrard's slip and Crystanbul. Imagine if Luis Suarez had gone to Arsenal.

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 1994/95 season - the first time the title race went to the final day.

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle for your weekly dose of Continental chatter. It’s a clean sweep of four Clasico victories this season for Barcelona over Real after Sunday afternoon’s bonkers 4-3 win at Montjuïc. It moves Hansi Flick’s side seven points clear with three games left to play, while Carlo Ancelotti sets off into the Brazilian sunset… Over in Italy, after their midweek Champions League heroics Inter closed the gap on Napoli at the top of the table to just one point as Antonio Conte’s side conceded an 84th minute equaliser from Genoa to set up a nervy finish with two games left of this enthralling Serie A campaign. We touch base with the equally dramatic title race in the Eredivisie - where Ajax’s nine-point lead at the top of the table has evaporated to just one. Chasers PSV came back from 2-0 down at Feyenoord to win 3-2 in the 99th minute AND Ajax lost 3-0 at home! Michiel Jongsma stops by to tell us more.
