England leave it late against Slovakia to set up Swiss showdown

Jimbo is joined by Tom Williams, Mark Carey, Daniel Storey and Kristof Terreur after another day of drama at Euro 2024. England are through to the quarter-finals after a last-gasp comeback against Slovakia. But it’s yet another unconvincing display from Gareth Southgate’s side. With Switzerland coming next, what can the England manager do to get them firing? Is Phil Foden the one who has to make way? Georgia give Spain a scare but La Roja show their class in a 4-1 win. Up next - Germany. Monday’s last 16 ties will see France take on Belgium in the latest chapter in their rivalry. And Portugal face Slovenia with a certain Cristiano Ronaldo looking to finally get on the scoresheet. Produced by Charlie Jones.

Holders Italy crash out as Germany storm past Denmark

Jimbo's joined by Adrian Clarke and Sasha Goryunov to look back on an eventful first evening of round of 16 ties at Euro 2024. We begin in Dortmund, where there was lightning, thunder and torrential rain - but it didn't stop Germany from getting the job done in a 2-0 victory over Denmark which wasn't without VAR drama. Seb Stafford-Bloor checks in from a wet and wild Westfalenstadion. Then to Berlin - where holders Italy crashed out of the tournament following a pretty dismal showing against Switzerland in a 2-0 defeat. Michael Cox and James Horncastle are on hand to bring reaction - and ponder what next for the Azzurri and their manager Luciano Spalletti. Finally, it's all eyes on the next two round of 16 ties coming our way on Sunday - with Spain taking on Georgia after England face Slovakia in Gelsenkirchen. Kristian Flak drops in to bring us a flavour of the mood from Bratislava ahead of the game. Produced by Lucy Oliva. Theme music by JJ Bull.

Georgia stun Portugal, Belgium booed - and England set to face Slovakia

Jimbo's got Charlie Eccleshare and Colin Millar alongside him - plus a variety of special guests over in Germany - as the Euro 2024 group stages reach their conclusion. We begin with events in Group F - which saw Georgian heroics as they booked their place in the last 16 in their first ever appearance at a major tournament after the 2-0 win over Portugal. Nika Kevkhishvili joins us to revel in the momentous victory. But heartbreak for the Czechs, sent packing after the 2-1 defeat by Turkey in Hamburg. It's fair to say it wasn't such a thrilling conclusion to Group E - with Slovakia and Romania playing out a 1-1 draw which Carl Anka was on hand to witness - and boos ringing out for Belgium after their goalless draw with Ukraine. Dom Fifield joins us from Stuttgart to reflect the sour mood amongst the Red Devils support base...

Limp England win their group while sloppy France miss out on top spot

Jimbo is accompanied by Tom Williams, Jay Harris and many more after an exciting day and dull night of Euro action. England top Group C but only after another insipid display and a 0-0 with Slovenia. Is there any chance of them turning this form around? And do Southgate’s substitutions show that he doesn’t have the answers? Elsewhere Austria win a thriller with the Dutch to sensationally top Group D at the expense of France, thanks to Lewandowski’s double stutter.

Last-gasp Italy equaliser breaks Croatian hearts

Jimbo's joined by Duncan Alexander and Sasha Goryunov to reflect on the dramatic climax to Group B at Euro 2024. We begin in Leipzig - where Mattia Zaccagni scored in the final minute of stoppage time as Italy broke Croatian hearts with a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw that ensures the defending champions progress to the last 16 - and leaves Luka Modrić and co all but eliminated. A beer-soaked Tim Spiers dials in on the final whistle before James Horncastle reports back from a rather spiky Luciano Spalletti press conference... No such drama for Spain, who cruised into the next round with their third victory and third clean sheet of the tournament in their 1-0 win over Albania (which happened to assure the Three Lions of a spot in the next round...). Michael Cox is on hand to tell us more from the Düsseldorf Arena. Then, it's all eyes on Group C and D who face their final outings on matchday three. We get the Slovenian perspective from journalist Miran Zore ahead of their meeting with England - and preview the fortunes of the other sides in action on a bumper day 12 out in Germany.

Scotland out of the Euros as Kane bites back

Jimbo welcomes Adrian Clarke, Dom Fifield and many more on another sad night for Scottish football. The Tartan Army are heading home after a last-gasp defeat against Hungary in Stuttgart. Did Scotland let themselves down? Or do they lack depth physically and technically? Germany also need a stoppage time equaliser against Switzerland to confirm top spot in Group A as questions are asked again about the defence. Italy take on Croatia in the standout game on Monday night. James Horncastle sets the scene as the Azzurri’s hold on the trophy hangs in the balance.

Belgium bounce back as Portugal cruise into the knockouts

Jimbo's got Sasha Goryunov, Liam Tharme and Seb Stafford-Bloor alongside him to capture all the fallout from Day 9 at the Euros. Belgium finally turned up in their 2-0 win over Romania to mean Group E is fascinatingly poised - with all four teams sat on three points going into the final round of matches. Michael Cox drops in from Cologne to talk us through the game. Portugal booked their place in the round of 16 as Group F winners after their comfortable 3-0 win over Turkey, while substitute Saba Lobjanidze wasted a golden chance for Georgia with *literally* the final kick of the game as the debutants claimed a first ever point in a major tournament with a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic - which does neither many favours. Plus, an opportunity to look ahead to Sunday's action - which sees Switzerland face hosts Germany and Scotland take on Hungary.

Jimbo, Adrian Clarke and Benji Lanyado are in the studio after England fail to live up to expectations but Spain definitely don’t. It’s 4 points from 2 games for Gareth Southgate’s side but the performances seem to be getting worse. We try to get to the bottom of things and wonder whether England are the worst coached team at the Euros. Spain took on Italy. Or was it Man City v Burnley?

Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Carl Anka, Daniel Storey and Liam Tharme after FA Cup semi-final weekend and a pivotal matchday in the Premier League title race.

Matt Davies-Adams is joined in The Athletic studio by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Joey D’Urso in a week chock-full of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup action. Man City ease past Bayern to set up a Champions League semi-final rematch with Real Madrid, as Erling Haaland is agonisingly close to doing a Clive Allen. Real unsurprisingly sweep aside Chelsea to end their season. How far could the Blues slip down the table over the next 7 games? The other semi-final will be a Milan derby, thanks partly to the unfashionable fleece Olivier Giroud. James Horncastle tells us why defeat will feel like relegation for the losing side. It’s FA Cup semi-final weekend and Brighton and Sheffield United are the teams looking to foil a first ever all Manchester final.

Trossard transforming Arsenal, Liverpool’s away day woe and who’s going down?

Jimbo, Jack Lang, Daniel Storey and Jay Harris reconvene to discuss a slightly bizarre Premier League weekend. Liverpool follow up their 7-0 win over Man United with a 1-0 surrender at Bournemouth. Which does little to convince the panel that they can overcome a three-goal deficit at Real Madrid in the Champions League this week. Leaders Arsenal cruise to a 3-0 win at Fulham with Leandro Trossard setting up all three goals. And Gabriel Jesus is back. It’s an unhappy Sunday for another Brazilian as Casemiro sees red again at Old Trafford. Why is he falling foul of officials so often when he didn’t in La Liga?

A Feast of Festive Football

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Lynsey Hooper to reflect on a feast of festive football in the Premier League. Arsenal kept their title-challenging form going by beating West Ham in front of a returning Arsène Wenger.  Newcastle United also carried on their ominous pre-World Cup form by swatting aside Leicester City. Yorkshireman Erling Haaland returned to his place of birth. His two goals for Manchester City against Leeds United saw him become the fastest player to reach twenty goals in the Premier League.

Brazil bypass Switzerland, Ghana get away from South Korea and Portugal pass Uruguay

Jimbo, Sasha Goryunov and Duncan Alexander gather to summarise Day 9 of the World Cup. We had two contenders for game of the tournament on the same day! Cameroon took the lead against Serbia but the Serbs scored three in succession to lead 3-1 only for Cameroon to drag it back to 3-3. The result probably means both sides are out but Vincent Aboubakar did score a lovely lob. Ghana looked like they were sailing to victory with a 2-0 lead over South Korea heading into half time.  Then two goals in three second half minutes saw South Korea level before Mohammed Kudus scored his second, Ghana’s third, and secure what could be a massive three points in Group H. Massive because Portugal’s win over Uruguay sees the Portuguese qualify and leaves Ghana in pole position to follow them through.

For the final time before Christmas, Jimbo reviews the Premier League weekend in the company of Rory Smith, Jay Harris and Tim Spiers.

Nagelsmann’s naivety, Mbappe’s pivot and Xabi’s smart start

Jimbo and the continental panel of Raphael Honigstein, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo shine a light on the big stories in European football this week. Bayern throw away a 2-0 lead in Dortmund, with questions starting to be asked of whether Julian Nagelsmann is the long-term future of the club.

Jimbo, Raphael Hongstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo assess the big hitters in Europe with the Nations League qualifiers over and the World Cup on the horizon. England and Germany fight out a 3-3 thriller in a game that exposes both team’s flaws. Are we only just seeing Southgate’s shortcomings when the rest of the continent has been aware for a while? France beat Austria and lose to Denmark, yet with the talent Didier Deschamps has at his disposal, could they become the first nation in 60 years to retain the World Cup?

It’s the Euro crew of Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo in full effect.

Matt Davies-Adams welcomes Lynsey Hooper, Michael Cox and Tom Williams to the latest Totally Football Show. Lynsey gives us an on the ground perspective of England’s form and thought processes after the demolition of Norway 8-0 on Monday night. Is this the high point or is the best yet to come for the Lionesses? There’s also a look ahead to the rest of the week's Euro fixtures as the group stages draw to a close.  In Transfer Talk, we wonder why Wolves haven’t signed anyone beyond the most expensive Irish footballer ever (no not Robbie Keane) in Nathan Collins. We also consider if thirty million pounds is too much for Morgan Gibbs-White, and whether Everton are making the same mistakes yet again in the transfer market. On the 14th July in 2006 the punishments in the Calciopoli scandal were doled out, at exactly the same time as Italy were on the way to winning the World Cup!

It’s Jimbo. It’s James Horncastle. It’s Dom Fifield. It’s Tom Williams. It’s the Totally Football Show. It’s transfers, transfers, transfers as rumours start to become fact. Gareth Bale is heading to Los Angeles FC, but is a move to the MLS the best preparation for his World Cup with Wales? Gossip is still all around though and some salacious talk links Cristiano Ronaldo to both Roma and Chelsea. Will it be either, or neither? On This Day were two of England’s more recent international humiliations, and Dom Fifield was at both.  James Horncastle tells us all about his favourite World Cup, USA 94. And we discuss Neymar’s film career… Plus Carlos Tevez is a manager, Todd Boehly is giving it a go as a Sporting Director and Phil Jagielka once put a hell of a shift in as a goalkeeper.

Duncan tells Flo and Carl all about his favourite World Cup, Italia 90. And we discuss why we don’t get team anthems anymore. Is it James Corden or Peter Beardsley’s fault?

Jimbo’s back with another Totally in the company of Charlie Eccleshare, Colin Millar and Adrian Clarke. The big transfer rumours revolve around Raheem Sterling and a potential move to Stamford Bridge. Would he be a better fit at Chelsea than at Man City? Gabriel Jesus might also be heading to London from Manchester. Is Arteta assembling a rotating cast of wide forwards at Arsenal, a la City? Meanwhile with additions like Bissouma, and possibly Alfie Devine, will next season see Spurs finish 3rd? And what’s going on with Barcelona’s finances? The Paul Pogba documentary is out now. The panel discuss the style of the piece and what behind the scenes football programmes are worth watching.   And on the anniversary of Dennis Bergkamp becoming a Premier League player, Adrian describes how his former team-mate changed the culture at Arsenal.

New knees

Jimbo is back and so too are Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams for the Totally Football Show. The panel address some Nations League fatigue and explain why Gareth Southgate shouldn’t be overly concerned about England’s reliance on Harry Kane for goals. The transfer window is open and active. We can look forward to the start of the Haaland-Nuñez Twitter wars. Will Liverpool’s excellent transfer track record continue? Is Robert Lewandowski in danger of irritating Bayern into keeping him? And why the Premier League should be happy Tchouameni’s gone to Real Madrid. We also look back at another time Real Madrid won the European Cup in Paris. Plus PSG’s managerial search, pizza-related content, and what Mr Honigstein’s been up to this last 6 months.

Reasonably interesting guy

The domestic season comes to a close and rounding up all the drama, it’s Matt Davies-Adams, Michael Cox, Sasha Goryunov and Daniel Storey. Real Madrid win a 14th European Cup but that story is secondary to the treatment of Liverpool fans prior to the final at the Stade De France. Sasha and Daniel relay their own personal experiences of an uncomfortable night in Paris. On the pitch, we praise Ancelotti, Courtois and reflect on where Liverpool go from here, particularly as the frontline may need bolstering with Sadio Mane seemingly on the way out. Forest are promoted to the Premier League after 23 years away as Huddersfield feel aggrieved with decisions not going their way. But is the gap between the 17 Premier League teams and the teams coming up bigger than ever? Andrew Todos tells us about Ukraine’s preparations for their World Cup play-off with Scotland on Wednesday. Plus the panel try to make sense of Ralf Rangnick’s brief time at Old Trafford.

Real Madrid face Liverpool in Paris with revenge in the air. Is Mo Salah in danger of going full Gazza 91? And would the absence of Thiago make Real favourites?

We have taken their masks off

It’s the last European edition of the season, with Matt Davies-Adams standing in for Jimbo, alongside James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo. One story dominating the news across the continent and that’s Kylian Mbappe’s decision to snub Real Madrid and stay at PSG. We discuss the 4-year obsession with Mbappe, the feeling of betrayal and the very impressive young man at the centre of it all. At the end of one of the best Serie A seasons in years, Milan breeze past Sassuolo to claim their first Scudetto in 11 years, all thanks to their recruitment model. Michiel Jongsma tells us about the threat Feyenoord pose to Roma in the Conference League final. But ultimately the Giallorossi trust in Mourinho.

Moats with crocodiles

That’s a wrap on the Premier League season. Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Tom Williams and Adrian Clarke look back on a great final day and a great campaign. The title race is on a knife edge for a couple of hours but Man City eventually come from 2-0 down against Villa to retain the title. The Athletic’s Sam Lee recounts a fuzzy afternoon at the Etihad where City show their character and personality. Leeds survive but how will they fare next season? Is Jesse Marsch too manic? Will they struggle along with Southampton? Burnley exit the Premier League so we look back on some of our favourite Clarets memories from the last 5 seasons. Spurs finish 4th with Kane, Kulusevski and Son on fire and with Cristian Romero arguably one of the players of the season. Kylian Mbappe is staying at PSG as Tom brings us the latest from a seismic weekend in Paris.

Schrödinger's equality

Jimbo is alongside Colin Millar, Jordan Campbell and Christoph Biermann as the first major European silverware of the season is decided. It’s the biggest day in Eintracht Frankfurt’s history as they overcome Rangers on penalties in Seville to win the Europa League. A victory for German football fans, redemption for Trapp and more misery for Ramsey. Will we see the Eagles doing a Dortmund in the near future? Forest also need penalties to reach their first ever play-off final. Matt Davies-Adams talks to us about a nerve-shredding night in Nottingham. Blackpool’s Jake Daniels becomes the only openly gay male professional footballer in Britain. The Athletic’s editor-in-chief Alex Kay-Jelski discusses Daniels and the ongoing Idrissa Gueye situation.

Hope arising

Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Christoph Biermann into the pod for the closing stages of continental football. The Bundesliga season finishes with a send-off for Erling Haaland, and perhaps to Robert Lewandowski. The Pole indicates he wants to leave Bayern. Does that give hope to the rest of the Bundesliga? Germany’s favourite team Eintracht Frankfurt are preparing for their Europa League final on Wednesday. Can Rangers overcome the best team in the competition season? The Serie A title race is going right down to the wire with Milan two points of Inter clear heading into the final day. All thanks to a wonder goal from Theo Hernandez and the heroics of the man who should be France’s number 1. Kylian Mbappe is footballer of the year in France but looks set to be on the move to Real Madrid. And in Spain, Sevilla will be in the Champions League season but potentially without Julen Lopetegui.

The neuro eleven

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Dom Fifield and Sasha Goryunov after Liverpool hoover up yet more silverware. It’s another shootout victory for Liverpool in the FA Cup final as their squad players step up again and Chelsea’s season turns into an anti-climax. Liverpool’s title hopes are given a boost by the brilliant Bowen who will surely be making his England debut very soon, as Mahrez misses the chance to put Man City on the verge of the title. Leeds are the big winners at the bottom after their last-gasp point against Brighton. Are Everton playing too many games like they’re cup finals and is too much hoopla before matches causing them to lose control? And what alternatives can we find to penalties after Burnley are punished particularly harshly by a spot-kick awarded in their match with Tottenham.

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Natalie Gedra bring you a slightly later pod than usual after Thursday night’s pivotal North London derby. Have Spurs now seized the momentum in the battle for Champions League football? And given their streakiness and the collective age of the players and the coach, is it a wonder Arsenal are even in this top 4 race? Man City look imperious in their march towards the title, thanks to Kevin De Bruyne. Fantastic player, frustrating interviewee. Erling Haaland will be arriving in the summer. But could he be another Ibra or Lukaku? It’s the FA Cup final on Saturday. Will it be another in the long line of enthralling Chelsea Liverpool contests this season? Plus the panel lament the lack of football wackiness, Ajax's coach hiring process and the curious case of Lyon’s Marcelo.

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Lynsey Hooper and Charlie Eccleshare after what could be a pivotal weekend in the Premier League season. Charlie upsets Klopp, as do Spurs who hold Liverpool at Anfield, allowing Man City to go 3 points clear by battering Newcastle. Is it City’s to lose? And are we any closer to knowing how Jack Grealish fits into the City side? It’s advantage Arsenal in the race for the top 4 ahead of the North London derby on Thursday. Hear why the panel think it’s still Spurs that will grab that Champions League place. Leeds look in big trouble at the bottom as Everton take a giant leap towards safety. Plus what about Southampton? Downgrading all over the pitch, Hasenhuttl under pressure, could they be doomed next season? Chelsea are champions of the WSL once again after an enthralling final day. But will Man City deny them a domestic double? It’s a great time for Scottish football. Jordan Campbell tells us about Rangers’ progression to the Europa League final and Celtic’s imminent title win.

And we pay tribute to calm Carlo Ancelotti. Liverpool survive a scare in Villarreal to reach the final. But don’t cry for Emery after an incredible campaign. Do Spurs have what it takes to trip the Reds up at Anfield on Saturday night? The battle at the bottom of the Premier League looks intriguing this weekend.

Something of the undead

Jimbo is joined by Tom Williams, Nick Miller and Matt Davies-Adams after another dramatic Premier League weekend. Norwich are relegated but Burnley and Everton both achieve huge wins in the battle to survive, with Jordan Pickford proving the French wrong. Does Leeds’ goal difference make them the new favourites to go down? Man City and Liverpool both ease to comfortable wins once again.

Invisible friend

For the last time in 2021, it’s the European edition with Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens. Is the title race over in the Bundesliga? Are Nagelsmann’s Bayern better than Flick’s Bayern? Or Pep’s Bayern? Similarly Inzaghi’s done some wonderful interior design at Inter. Are the Nerazzurri playing some of their best football ever?

Apocalypse cockroach

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Natalie Gedra and Charlie Eccleshare into the pod after a weekend of not a lot of football but a whole lot of talking points. Spurs and Liverpool share the spoils in one of the games of the season so far. But it’s the officiating that takes centre stage. Are we heading towards a refereeing crisis with a dearth of talented officials in this country? Meanwhile Man City have entered champions mode, as we compare and contrast Cancelo and Alexander-Arnold. And Chelsea are paying the price for not matching the goal scoring prowess of their rivals. Arsenal win again as Natalie tells us how Gabriel Martinelli has been manufactured for greatness. Plus Ronaldo buys Cruzeiro and is South America joining the Nations League?

Desperate karmic reach

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Adam Crafton and Flo Lloyd-Hughes engage in a race against time to produce a football podcast that isn’t immediately completely out of date. With Premier League clubs registering a record number of positive Covid cases and games postponed, is it time for a circuit breaker? And why is this the worst time for that when it comes to the TV rights holders? There’s plenty of midweek action to feast upon as Man City destroy Leeds 7-0. Are we in Bielsa’s last season at Elland Road? And is he the best manager for a relegation battle? Plus the ludicrously inconsistent Arsenal are 4th and is James Ward-Prowse one of the best free-kick takers in Premier League history? The panel pay tribute to the retiring Sergio Aguero. And Flo gives us a half-term report on the WSL and the details on their lucrative new sponsorship deal. RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1a: Time for another circuit breaker?

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo digest a huge weekend across the continent, both on the pitch and in the post-match interviews. Bayern overcome Dortmund but there’s controversy as Jude Bellingham highlights referee Felix Zwayer’s past dealings. Elsewhere in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen score 7, Freiburg score 6 in the first half and Jesse Marsch is sacked by Leipzig. Also out of work is Claude Puel after Rennes run riot at Saint-Etienne. And PSG rescue a point but continue to look unimpressive. Speaking of unimpressive, Roma are taken apart by Inter with Jose Mourinho taking his frustration out on journalists.

That incompetence very much can continue

Jimbo is joined by Natalie Gedra, Daniel Storey and Dom Fifield after another intriguing Premier League weekend. West Ham knock Chelsea off the top of the table, thanks to the aggression of Antonio and the bravery of Moyes. We discuss why Chelsea are missing Kante and missing out on the full Lukaku experience. Villa beat Leicester as we see how Steven Gerrard has transformed the Villa midfield. Plus we all learn that incredibly vague rule about goalkeepers having the ball under control. There’s some love for Divock Origi and why Ralf Rangnick would rather have a Fred than a Fernandes. Flo Lloyd-Hughes is back to dissect a dominant cup final display from Chelsea at Wembley.

And that pint is a pint of beer

It’s Thursday, which means it’s Jimbo alongside Duncan Alexander, Sasha Goryunov and Adrian Clarke to peruse the non-stop Premier League action. Liverpool thrash Everton at Goodison Park with another brace for Mo Salah, a player who is reaching the levels of Thierry Henry in his pomp. The relegation six-pointer between Newcastle and Norwich ends all square with the Magpies still winless ahead of a visit from Burnley. George Caulkin tells us why he doesn’t like what he smells when it comes to this season. This weekend, we’ve got Gerrard v Rodgers and statistically the most one-sided game in Premier League history. Flo Lloyd-Hughes talks to us about a huge week in the women’s game with a dream FA Cup final, Ellen White becoming her country’s top scorer and the small matter of that game with Latvia.

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Lynsey Hooper and Matt Davies-Adams are all over the Premier League weekend and midweek action. Carrick’s United go ultra-defensive to draw at Stamford Bridge. Rangnick’s United on Thursday are up against an Arsenal side that are proving themselves better than the rest but worse than the best. There’s scarcely believable murmurings of discontent at Brighton and Wolves. But more believable disgruntlement at Goodison as Everton prepare for Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby. Matt Jones from the Blue Room tells us why Rafa is close to the least of Everton’s problems.

Pyrrhic point

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo look back on a weekend across Europe headlined by new gaffers and late drama. Barcelona celebrate the appointment of Xavi by throwing away a three-goal lead against Celta Vigo. And champions Atletico draw 3-3 as well. Is this the worst group of defenders Simeone has ever had to work with? Meanwhile Real Sociedad stay top with their manager insisting former Newcastle man Mikel Merino is the best player in La Liga.

A stranger they had nothing in common with

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Charlie Eccleshare into the studio after a weekend where two Premier League managers bite the dust. City dominate the Manchester derby at Old Trafford thanks to the likes of Bernardo Silva, a dream player for Pep who plays everywhere and does everything. And Phil Foden who has to play on the left. West Ham are 3 points off top spot after rattling Liverpool at the London Stadium. Is talk of the Hammers doing a Leicester really that far-fetched? Villa and Norwich both dispense with their managers. Dan Bardell pays tribute to Dean Smith while we’re thankful Daniel Farke left Carrow Road before it got poisonous. Will we see Gerrard and Lampard replacing them?  Elsewhere, Conte’s Spurs suffer with their unique shot on target drought. And how many defenders does Eddie Howe need to buy in January to fix Newcastle? Plus Wilder, mercurial players and the Buxton boss on holiday.

Make history

Jimbo, Michael Cox, Adam Crafton and Duncan Alexander reflect on a massive midweek and preview a giant Premier League weekend. With Ronaldo once again Man United’s saviour in the Champions League and with the Manchester derby on Saturday, we imagine what life would be like if the Portuguese superstar had signed for City. Would we see a better Mason Greenwood? More sugar in the tea at Carrington? Antonio Conte is the new Tottenham manager – can he make the natives at Everton even more restless as Spurs travel to Goodison? Newcastle won’t be appointing Emery but might be appointing Howe. Should we expect chaotic mismanagement in the early days of this new regime at St James Park? And should people turn their noses up at survival specialist Eddie Howe? Plus the prospect of Xavi as Barca manager, win percentages and other banter stats. RUNNING ORDER:    • PART 1: A new manager at Spurs but not at Newcastle (01m 30s) • PART 2a: Liverpool 2-0 Atletico (09m 00s)  • PART 2b: Manchester derby preview – what if Ronaldo had gone to City?

Shoots like a horse

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Dan Bardell and Tom Williams are on hand to react to another managerial casualty in the Premier League. Saturday’s defeat at home to Man United signals the end for Nuno at Spurs. A man without an obvious plan, failing to get the best out of Kane and Son and turning Tottenham into a team of midfielders. Will Dean Smith be next after Villa’s 4th defeat in a row, against a West Ham side running rampant on the road? On the other hand, we extol the virtues of Vieira after Palace’s win at the Etihad. And we praise Potter to the hilt. The poster boy for the next era of British coaches.  Plus Tuchel’s rotation, Ramsdale’s mad vibes and why PSG fans aren’t pleased with Pochettino.

Disillusioned Jedi

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Adam Crafton react to another enthralling midweek in the Champions League. It’s a last-gasp, lucky victory for Man United against Villarreal, saved by De Gea and Ronaldo again. With so many star names to try and accommodate, is Paul Pogba the piece that doesn’t fit? Man City are beaten in Paris where Lionel Messi, like Ronaldo, doesn’t do anything until he does something decisive. Has Pochettino found a blueprint for success at PSG? Chelsea lose again, this time to Juventus. Can Thomas Tuchel afford to be without Mount AND Kante?

This is what football sounds like

You'll have heard Daniel Storey speaking on Monday's pod about how he's about to attend his first football match since March 2020. And while many of you will have returned to grounds for the new season or been to a match at Wembley over the summer, but for lots of us, the noise and energy of a full stadium and the build up to the game is a long distant memory. With that mind, in place of our Euro show this week, here's a special podcast accompanying George Caulkin's amazing piece called This is what football sounds like that recently went up on the Athletic. It's recorded using a technique called binaural audio – basically, 360 degree sound - and the best way to experience it is to find a quiet place and listen on headphones. Maybe even go for a walk.

To hell and back

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Matt Davies-Adams and Colin Millar into the pod after another pulsating Premier League weekend. Chelsea breeze past Arsenal at the Emirates with Lukaku scoring and immediately looking like the reference point for this side.

Miss! Miss!

The opening weekend of the new Premier League season doesn’t disappoint. Drinking it in with Jimbo are Carl Anka, Sasha Goryunov and Daniel Storey. Tottenham defeat champions Man City in a dream start for Nuno in North London. Will that inspire City to go and get Harry Kane? Or should they be spending that money on a left-back and a defensive midfielder? Manchester United thrash Leeds 5-1. Imagine how good they’ll be once they put Sancho and Varane in that team. And Brentford provide the feel-good story of the weekend. Elsewhere where is the Arsenal leadership? Can Villa create a whole new attack without Grealish? Will Everton fans learn to love resilient Rafa? Plus we pay tribute to the goal-hanger’s goal-hanger Gerd Muller. And Sasha bemoans the state of Russian football.

Starting to get the tingles

The Premier League season is almost upon us and Jimbo is joined by the excited trio of Dom Fifield, Natalie Gedra and Tom Williams. The headline fixture of the opening weekend is Tottenham hosting Man City. If City don’t sign Harry Kane, does that hurt their championship chances? Will European champions Chelsea take the title with their incredible squad depth? Further down the table, there are big questions to be answered. Do Everton represent the biggest challenge of Benitez’s career? Are Palace fans right to be optimistic about Patrick Vieira? How much are Southampton gambling with their transfer policy?

Not bitter, little bit disappointed

The European edition returns with your preferred pod posse of Jimbo, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Raphael Honigstein and Alvaro Romeo. Lionel Messi becomes a PSG player and will be starring in Ligue 1. Why all the cynicism? Could Messi have made a more romantic move? Feeling the absence of Messi are not just Barcelona but La Liga as a whole. No longer the league of stars. Speaking of financial crisis, Italian champions Inter are minus Conte and Lukaku. Can anyone see past Juventus returning to the top under Max Allegri? Will Mourinho keep inspiring mass brawls at Roma? New gaffers galore in Germany.

Jubilant Julien Laurens joins us as we discuss if this is a good thing for Ligue 1. And what does it mean for Mbappe? Jack Grealish joins Man City for £100million but he alone can’t stop Leicester from winning the Community Shield. Is Grealish a problem solver for Pep or will he prove to be City’s Veron?

Part bleeding but still handsome

Italy are European champions. Jimbo, Carl Anka, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, David Preece and Daniel Storey review a wonderful night for the Azzurri but a heart-breaking night for England who lose on penalties at Wembley. Gareth Southgate’s side take a very early lead but are pegged back and worn down by their opponent. Like the 2018 World Cup semi-final but worse. It’s an inspirational group of players but in hindsight, did England throw this Euros away? And did they play that much football in the tournament? As for Italy, we salute a team that every other team made changes to their system for. And of course, they had the amazing Chiellini. The star of this Italy team and finally a European champion.

Man scores volley

For the penultimate pod of the Euros, Jimbo is joined by a bumper crew of James Horncastle, Michael Cox, Tom Williams and Duncan Alexander. Anticipation builds ahead of the final at Wembley on Sunday. Italy the complete team, managed by Mancini the serial winner. Whereas England look to be physically fresher. Are both teams already heroes and in a no-lose situation? We reminisce about a tournament including lots of goals, classic matches and most importantly, fans. And 15 years on from Italy’s last major tournament win, a chat about Zidane’s headbutt on Materazzi, much like the incident itself, gets out of hand.

No root crops on the back pages

Jimbo, Daniel Storey and Duncan Alexander bask in the glory of England reaching their first ever European Championship final. The Three Lions come from behind at Wembley to overcome Denmark and progress to the Euro 2020 final. England - masters of keep-ball, shaking off their demons and of shielding the ball and waiting for a free-kick. We salute the likes of Walker, Rice and Maguire. England will face Italy in the final who eliminated Spain on Tuesday. Alvaro Romeo informs us on how La Roja’s performance has been received and the extent of Barcelona’s struggles with their wage bill. Plus semi-final despair from 2014.

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Adam Crafton and Daniel Storey as the Azzurri ascend to the final of Euro 2020. It took penalties and a little bit of luck but Italy beat Spain at Wembley and continue to give great value to this tournament. Meanwhile, the future looks bright for Spain with Pedri running the show. But should they have got rid of Ramos? England and Denmark compete on Wednesday to see who will face Italy in the final. Niels Harild tells us how the spirit of 92 is more of a positive than the curse of 66. And how does this group of England players compare to previous crops?

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Carl Anka and Sasha Goryunov react to a fantastic night for the Three Lions in Rome. England cruise past Ukraine 4-0 and into the last 4 of Euro 2020. A performance that was everything we wanted it to be – ruthlessly efficient and an absence of jeopardy. We salute Southgate, Shaw and the Sterling Kane partnership. They will meet Denmark in the semi-finals at Wembley after the Danes dispatch the Czechs thanks to Joakim Maehle’s caramelo. But are they a bit overrated?

Jimbo is alongside Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and James Horncastle as Italy & Spain set up a semi-final meeting at Euro 2020. Roberto Mancini’s Italy knock out the number 1 ranked team in the world in Belgium, in a performance that has everything. How have the Azzurri managed to put together this 32-game unbeaten run? And why wasn’t Mancini more in demand? Spain are victorious on penalties against 10-man Switzerland but are hugely wasteful in front of goal again. Alvaro Romeo tells us why the Spanish might be about to click, through unity and conviction. But do they lack personality? In Saturday’s quarter-finals, it’s Czech Republic v Denmark and then, England v Ukraine in Rome. Yevhen Muzyka tells us why Shevchenko isn’t as popular as you might think.

England secure a landmark victory over Germany at Wembley where all of Southgate’s decisions came off. And his squad selection and team selections appear to be vindicated. Is it judgement or luck? Plus how the nation reacts when the hugely endearing Southgate wins. Jogi Low has now managed his last game for Germany, who pay the price for having a halfway house attitude towards their football.

Jimbo, Carl Anka and Daniel Storey try and make sense of quite possibly the greatest day of tournament football ever. Switzerland knock out world champions France on penalties after a 3-3 draw in Bucharest. We try to explain the magnificence of Xhaka and Pogba. And would France have fared better with Laporte? Speaking of Laporte, his Spanish side beat Croatia 5-3 after extra time. How to explain a free-scoring team with a struggling striker? England and Germany face off at Wembley on Tuesday. Raphael Honigstein tells us why he’s worried about German improv up against a heavily rehearsed England. Plus Sweden Ukraine, Dutch despair from 2000 and attempting to explain the own goal epidemic.

I’ll bite my own hand

Jimbo welcomes Michael Cox and Duncan Alexander into the pod after a day of illuminating action at the Euros. Czech Republic hog the headlines by eliminating the Netherlands in the first shock of the last 16. But are they still the weakest team in the competition? And can Frank De Boer be blamed for the crazy mistakes of his players? Number 1 ranked Belgium knock out holders Portugal, in a game signposted by selfishness and stroppiness. And it’s time to bust the myth that Ronaldo is good at free-kicks. It’s another big day of action. Juraj Vrdoljak tells us whether Croatia fear Spain, the team that inflicted their heaviest defeat ever. And Julien Laurens previews France v Switzerland, as Pogba looks to build on his position as perhaps the player of the tournament so far.

Rushing to the wrong fire

Jimbo’s back and he’s brought Sasha Goryunov and Tom Williams with him as the knockout stages of Euro 2020 get underway. Denmark dismantle Wales 4-0 in Amsterdam as their fairy-tale continues to the quarter-finals. Niels Harild tells us why the Danes are daring to dream of a repeat of 1992. What will Gareth Bale do next? International football only? Golf? Italy need extra time to eliminate Austria at Wembley, with the beaten side showing just how good they are. Having seen glimpses of Belgium at their best, will we be able to see a classic with Portugal on the worst pitch at the tournament in Seville?

In Group E, we weren't expecting too much but Spain came to have a fiesta, with a hand from Martin Dubravka, whilst Sweden and Poland put on a five goal thriller. So have Spain finally arrived? And now all eyes turn to the Round of 16 which kicks off on Saturday with Wales v Denmark with the former left asking "are we the badies?" And we try to work out if there's any way past Italy for Austria. All that plus a dive into UEFA's "politics", some Euro 2004 action, and our updated predictions.

The buttock region

Matt Davies Adams, Tom Williams, and Daniel Storey are here as England top Group D and as Scotland bid farewell to their first tournament in 23 years. So Scotland are out but what does it mean? We ask The Athletic's Jordan Campbell who's live at Hampden for his reflections on a heartbreaking night for the Tartan Army. More positive scenes over at Wembley though, well for 12 minutes anyway, as Sterling netted again and England top the group and look at facing, erm, France/Germany/Portugal/Hungary! Speaking of which tomorrow is today and today is the last day of the group stages, and there are still two groups to sort out. Namely Group E and F where it's looking concerning for Spain and rather brighter for Germany. All that plus we hit a few bum notes.

An Aldi own brand Pep Guardiola

Matt Davies Adams, Rory Smith, and Sasha Goryunov are here as Denmark make their mark on this tournament and squeeze into the next stage whilst Austria find their fast flowing football. Copenhagen was the place to be on Monday night as Denmark scored four magnificent goals to set up their place in the round of 16. Whilst Finland gave Belgium a run for their money before Lukaku turned the fireworks on. Plus we had one of the most memorable moments of the tournament so far - and VAR was involved in a positive way! In Group C it's Ukraine who are left wondering if they're in or out, and we waved goodbye to tournament cult hero Goran Pandev with an emotional guard of honour. Up next it's England v Czech Republic and Croatia v Scotland where it's "you finish second" "no, you finish second" at Wembley and win at all costs in Hampden. And where Covid 19 is wreaking havoc with protocols as Billy Gilmour is out and it's a bit of a confusion over Mount and Chilwell for England. All that plus there's a rather special 'On This Day' for Matt - and we find out that his dog has a middle name.... RUNNING ORDER PART 1: Drama or no drama?

Are good-looking lads Italy the new tournament favourites? Are Turkey the worst dark horses ever? Groups B and C will conclude on Monday. Ari Virtanen dares to dream of Finland upsetting Belgium and advancing to the next round. It’s a chance for the likes of Lukaku, Yarmolenko and Dumfries to boost their Golden Boot hopes.

Proper downer

Matt Davies-Adams is joined by Lynsey Hooper and Tom Williams after arguably the most exciting day of action yet at Euro 2020. Germany bounce back from defeat to France with a 4-1 thrashing of Portugal. Never write them off. Are the holders in danger of elimination at the group stage? Hungary cause their own upset by holding world champions France in Budapest. Should Les Bleus be concerned about the lack of goals from Karim Benzema? Speaking of a lack of goals, Spain toil to another draw, this time with Poland. Alvaro Romeo identifies the reasons behind their struggles. From the weather to fan apathy. Group A concludes on Sunday with Wales travelling to Rome to face Italy and confirm their place in the next round. Will the likes of Ramsey, Bale and Ward impress again? Plus Seaman’s laugh, Foden’s flick, and Sousa’s fashion faux-pas.  RUNNING ORDER:    • PART 1a: Germany 4-1 Portugal with David Novo (03m 00s) • PART 1b: Hungary 1-1 France (15m 00s) • PART 2: Spain 1-1 Poland with Alvaro Romeo (24m 00s) • PART 3: Previewing the conclusion of Group A (34m 00s) • PART 4: The odds with Paddy Power (43m 00s) • PART 5: Who will be this tournament’s Panenka?

Lucky for big blokes

Matt Davies-Adams, Duncan Alexander and Daniel Storey react to one of the most anticipated days of Euro 2020 so far. Scotland take a point from Wembley as Steve Clarke’s bold selection pays off. Has Gareth Southgate been spooked by the anonymous Harry Kane? And is there much point in lionising Grealish when England function best as a team? Group F on Saturday offers mouth-watering clashes between Hungary and France and Portugal up against Germany. Raphael Honigstein gives us his thoughts on what Jogi Low’s tactical approach should be against the holders. Spain take on Poland where it’s Morata v Lewandowski – equals when it comes to international tournaments. And not in a good way. Plus Blackburn’s Ben Brereton bags in the Copa America. And Duncan’s favourite thing about Jan Koller.

Positive Scotland pants

Matt Davies Adams, Daniel Storey, and Carl Anka are here with the fall out from Thursday's action and to set you up for a big Friday. On the show it was an emotional night in Copenhagen as Denmark played Belgium and united in celebration of Christian Eriksen after 10 minutes. Elsewhere The Netherlands secured their place in the knockout stages with a 2-0 win over Austria. We ask if the draw is in the favour? And we wave a fond farewell to North Macedonia who lost 2-1 to Ukraine. Then it's all eyes to Wembley as England and Scotland ready themselves to do battle. To get the Scottish perspective we speak with Scotland and Chelsea midfielder, Erin Cuthbert, whilst back in the pod we assess Southgate's best full back options. Plus there's previews on Croatia v Czech Republic and Sweden v Slovakia, and we ask what on earth Spurs are doing?

A kick in the Zubkov

Matt Davies-Adams, Michael Cox and Sasha Goryunov are here as Wales arrive, Russia aren't Finnished, and Italy are livin la vida loca-telli. First to Baku where Wales are beaming after their 2-0 victory over Turkey, we ask if this was one of the most impressive performances so far As for Russia well they arrived too in St Petersburg and grabbed their first three points. Will a win be enough to see teams through to the knockout stages though? And Italy gain a load of backers after their dominant performance over Switzerland - but should we believe the hype? Elsewhere it's a big day for Denmark tomorrow as they play Belgium in Copenhagen. We speak with Danish commentator Niels Harild about the mood in the country. It's an Arnautovic-less Austria taking on The Netherlands - will Frank de Boer give us more of the same chaos? And finally Sasha brings a big tactics lesson on Ukraine v North Macedonia.

Coke cola

Matt Davies-Adams, Adam Crafton and Tom Williams react to a certain CR7's latest records and our first heavy weight fight. Tuesday night brought us the good, the bad, and the possibly ugly as France beat Germany 1-0. We ask is this France instilling fear? Did Germany deserve a draw? And did Rudiger have a little nibble? Speaking of bites, over in Hungary our early evening entertainment, well it didn't get going until 80 minutes in but not even the clock can beat Cristiano Ronaldo from breaking records. Onto the next round then and it's all eyes on Italy who have really set a marker. Up next for them Switzerland who inspire an Orson Welles quote. On the other side of the table it's the slightly more disappointing Wales and Turkey who face off. And finally we finish with the Finnish as they take on Russia.

Binary solo

Matt Davies-Adams, Duncan Alexander and Dom Fifield react to a day of record-breaking goals and record-breaking passes at Euro 2020. The Tartan Army’s return to tournament football is an unhappy one as Patrick Schick inspires Czech Republic to victory from the halfway line. Did Scotland prove they are genuinely unlucky? Or are they just not clinical enough? Sweden channel their inner Palace to stifle Spain and draw 0-0 in Seville. Alexander Isak looks the real deal, Alvaro Morata – not so much. Slovakia overcome Poland who continue to struggle for goals at major tournaments, even with Lewandowski. France face Germany on Tuesday – with the Mbappe Giroud spat stealing focus, is there a chance Les Bleus could implode? And Hungary will face Portugal in front of 60,000 fans in Budapest. Tomasz Mortimer tells us how far the national side have come in a short period of time.

Contemplating the risky text

Matt Davies-Adams is in the hot seat in the company of Carl Anka and Daniel Storey after a dazzling Day 3 at Euro 2020. England exercise real control and relaxation in their opening game as they defeat Croatia at Wembley. A great day for Phillips and Mings as Southgate’s team selection is completely vindicated. And he can afford to not even use Grealish or Sancho. Netherlands and Ukraine contest the game of the tournament so far as the Dutch win 3-2 in Amsterdam. And an angry Arnautovic seals victory for Austria over North Macedonia. Which is more interesting than their kit or nickname. Scotland’s first tournament game in 23 years is against the Czech Republic on Monday. The most important game they’ll play in this group stage? And Spain and Sweden face off in Group E with Morata and Isak both looking to show their worth.

Traumatic and frantic

Jimbo, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams reflect on a day overshadowed by the dramatic collapse of Christian Eriksen. Denmark’s star man is thankfully in a stable condition after requiring CPR on the pitch against Finland.  Away from Copenhagen, Belgium dismantle Russia and Wales are fortunate to escape with a draw against Switzerland, thanks to the efforts of Kieffer Moore and Danny Ward. But did Robert Page get his selection wrong? England v Croatia is the big game on Sunday. Juraj Vrdoliak tells us about a team in transition since the World Cup, while the FA once again clarify the meaning behind taking the knee.

In Group C, we’ve got some frank opinions on De Boer and Holland and some high hopes for Malinovskyi and Ukraine.

About to do a madness

Jimbo’s back with part 1 of our preview of Euro 2020, in the company of Michael Cox, Tom Williams and Sasha Goryunov. The Three Lions head into essentially a home tournament as favourites. Paul Ince tells us what life inside the camp was like at Euro 96. Are England and Croatia worse than we think they are? And are Scotland and Czech Republic better? Can Wales match their semi-final exploits of 5 years ago, with or without a striker? They’re in the same group as a young Turkey side who we’re very excited about watching. James Horncastle gives us the latest on Roberto Mancini’s Italy, unbeaten in 3 years and finally building the team around their best players. Kristof Terreur explains why Belgium’s golden generation are keen to play down their chances of a first major tournament victory. Plus how Michael incurred the wrath of the Finnish football fans.

Five minutes into the future

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Carl Anka and Dom Fifield reconvene to wrap up club football once and for all this season. It’s a magnificent weekend for West London football as Chelsea defeat Man City in the Champions League final.

Tumbled down that escalator

It’s a weekend that reminds us why we love football, relived by Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Charlie Eccleshare and Adrian Clarke. Leicester win their first ever FA Cup. A classic cup final by dint of having one of the great cup final goals and cup final saves. How many clubs are feeling silly for turning their nose up at Brendan Rodgers? And are Chelsea in danger of being over-coached by Thomas Tuchel? It’s a horrible weekend for Chelsea as they lose the Women’s Champions League final 4-0 to Barcelona. Like Tuchel, which selections did Emma Hayes get wrong? Alisson becomes the first goalkeeper to score a winning goal in the Premier League, as we remember some of our favourite goalie goals.

Did England save football? Or with the new Champions League reforms, are we actually worse off than we were a week ago? The League Cup final beckons with Manchester City taking on Tottenham, managed by Ryan Mason, the antidote to Mourinho. The Premier League brings West Ham v Chelsea, Leeds v Man Utd and memories of Nigel Pearson wrestling James McArthur. Chelsea Women retain the title initiative in the WSL in one of the games of the season against Man City. And in the first Inter Totally quarter-final, defending champion Michael takes on Matt Davies-Adams.

Creatively dull people

Jimbo, Carl Anka, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams discuss a weekend that could be seismic for football in this country and around the continent. The Premier League’s “Big Six” clubs announce their intentions to start a new European Super League. We discuss how this could be calamitous for English football, and to what extent the clubs should be punished for this deplorable act.  On the pitch, Leicester will play Chelsea in the FA Cup final, as Thomas Tuchel ends Man City’s quadruple hopes.  In the Premier League, West Ham are beaten at St James Park as injuries threaten to damage their top 4 hopes. And the same could be true for Spurs with Harry Kane limping off. Would Kane be able to engineer the transfer he reportedly desires?

PSG have the advantage over Bayern and are on the verge of knocking the holders out. Will PSG falter at home again? And has civil war broken out at Bayern between Flick and Salihamidzic?

Will Verratti be a bigger absentee than Lewandowski?  Also on Wednesday, Juventus play Napoli in Serie A, a game with plenty of previous, with major implications for the top 4.  And Real Sociedad win the first ever Basque Copa Del Rey final, with their manager in particular enjoying it.

Shave twice a day

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke and Lynsey Hooper to wave goodbye to the international break and say hello to the return of the Premier League. Werner and Germany have a shocker, losing at home to North Macedonia. But England make it 3 wins out of 3 against Poland. It’s a game that left the panel feeling John Stones is not a natural defender and that Gareth Southgate’s in-game management is mediocre. We get excited about Arsenal v Liverpool this weekend. Is it the Big Six fixture that always delivers? Leicester v Man City is a fixture that will no longer feature Sergio Aguero as he will leave in the summer. But is he in the top 5 Premier League strikers of all time? Chelsea Women finally win against Wolfsburg in the Champions League. Do they have what it takes to go all the way?

You are alright. For you, this is nothing.

Jimbo discusses the Premier League weekend with Charlie Eccleshare, Daniel Storey & Matt Davies-Adams, a matchday with some truly unforgettable moments.

Chris Wilder leaves soon-to-be relegated Sheffield United. Will he turn up at a Premier League club or aspiring Premier League club next season?

Culturally notorious

It’s an Arsenal Chelsea final in the FA Cup as London reigns over Manchester. Did Solskjaer prioritise the league over the cup with his selection? And after some more high-profile De Gea errors, can Henderson be denied his spot at Old Trafford any longer? The panel discuss how Arsenal exposed City’s weak link and whether the lack of fans helps the Gunners play out from the back. Also - why Watford, why? Nigel Pearson becomes the 3rd manager to bite the dust at Vicarage Road this season, with just 2 games to go. Leeds are back in the big time once again.

Just push, Mrs Thuram

Big guns fail to fire across Europe as Jimbo, Julien Laurens, James Horncastle, Alvaro Romeo and Raphael Honigstein review the weekend’s action in the Totally Football Show European edition.

The methodology meeting

If you’re looking for an actual title race, Jimbo and co have you covered with the goings on around Europe’s major leagues. Monchengladbach are top of the Bundesliga, thanks in part to a Borussia blogger, as Bayern lose at home to Hoffenheim. Juventus overcome Inter in the Derby d’Italia to go top of Serie A, where numerous clubs could be about to change manager. Real Madrid are struggling in the Champions League but are unbeaten and top of La Liga. And while Barca are hot on their tails, club legend Victor Valdes has also been given his marching orders. In France, Neymar’s road to redemption at PSG appears to be almost complete while Julien Laurens correctly calls the sacking of Sylvinho at Lyon.

Super replacement

It’s the Totally Football Show European edition, with Jimbo, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Raphael Honigstein scarcely able to believe that Mauro Icardi is now a PSG player. Unbelievable scenes as Juve and Napoli contest a seven-goal thriller in Serie A, but sadly predictable scenes as Romelu Lukaku suffers racist abuse at Cagliari. Atletico lead the way in Spain while Leipzig are out to prove they’re the real deal in Germany. Plus Ligue 1 has become the tightest league in Europe. So Britain’s richest man wants a slice of the action. RUNNING ORDER:    • PART 1: Icardi to PSG? Really? (01m 45s) • PART 2: Serie A round-up: Juve 4-3 Napoli and ugly scenes at Cagliari again (04m 20s) • PART 3: Bundesliga bulletin: Union shock Dortmund and the curious case of Bakary Jatta (18m 00s) • PART 4: La Liga latest: Atletico top as Barca and Real continue to stumble (31m 10s) • PART 5: Ligue 1: the tightest league in Europe (39m 30s) • PART 6: The odds with Lee Price from Paddy Power – Higuain and Bale back from the brink?

Brexit…Rodgers leaves for Leicester

The Totally Scottish Football Show invades the Totally Football Show for a special episode. In the space of one crazy Tuesday, Brendan Rodgers walks away from Celtic for Leicester. And consigliere Neil Lennon returns to the managerial hot seat at Celtic Park. Our regular Scottish trio of Andrew Slaven, JJ Bull from the Telegraph and Laura Brannan from COPA90 are in the studio to discuss a huge story in British football. Although the digital Jim Leighton is sadly unable to join us. With Celtic just games away from completing a domestic treble, and with Rodgers claiming to be a Celtic fan, should the fans feel betrayed? Barca Jim discusses Brendan’s exit and whether Lennon can get the Bhoys over the line. Or are the feats of the treble treble or 10 titles in a row now in jeopardy? Plus Jonathan Northcroft from The Sunday Times, author of Fearless: The Amazing Underdog Story of Leicester City, debates how good a fit Rodgers is for Leicester. And does this represent a sobering moment for Scottish football?  RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1a: Rodgers leaves Celtic – the immediate reaction (01m 30s) • PART 1b: The Celtic fan’s perspective with Barca Jim (05m 20s) • PART 2: Jonathan Northcroft on what this appointment means to Leicester (12m 00s) • PART 3: Neil Lennon takes the reins at Celtic for the rest of the season (19m 45s) Learn more about your ad choices.

Everton’s non-holistic approach, the Hertfordshire Globetrotters and a derby for the ages

On your brand new Totally Football Show, James Richardson is joined by Michael Cox, Football 365’s Daniel Storey and our very own Iain Macintosh for the hot take on all the goings-on in the games in the Premier League and around Europe. We start with Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, the main beneficiaries of which appear to be Arsenal, who have taken their customary spot of fourth in the table after beating Burnley in typically controversial circumstances. Elsewhere, we commend Huddersfield for making life hard for City and wonder if Nou Mou can beat Old Mou when Watford host United on Wednesday. Oh, and we wonder what it’s going to take for Everton to get out of this tailspin. All of that plus: Eagles v Seagulls; Rafa Honigstein on Dortmund’s spectacular derby with Schalke; and Montella axed by AC Milan.

How will they fare at home to Chelsea, fresh - or not - from their 6000 mile round trip to Qarabag? Elsewhere in the Premier League, David Moyes gets a chance to underwhelm West Ham’s home fans, Huddersfield look to shock Man City, and Saido Berahino faces the opponents against whom he last scored...two years ago.

Pulis P45-ed, narrative busters and Dulwich Hamlet’s Toilets Opposite Stand

On your brand new Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo welcomes debutants Benji Lanyado and Ian Irving to the studio alongside TFS stalwart Iain Macintosh as we travel from the real Premier League to the Bostik Premier League and cover (almost) everything in-between. First up, the North London derby. Why has it taken until late-November for the Gunners to play like this - and why do Spurs continually come up short against the other title contenders away from home? Elsewhere, we marvel at the brilliance of Leroy Sane, Paul Pogba, Eden Hazard and Mo Salah as City, United, Chelsea and Liverpool all registered impressive wins. Next, we try to act surprised that West Ham’s David Moyes era got off to a shocker at Watford, and wonder where in the wide world of football Tony Pulis will pop up next. Plus: everything you ever wanted to know about sponsoring Dulwich Hamlet; Chris Coleman stands on the edge of a cliff at Sunderland; and close but still no points for Benevento.

Fragrant encounters, 90s icons and fax machines

It’s an eclectic line-up for this episode of the Totally Football Show, with AC Jimbo joined in the pod by James Horncastle, Michael Cox, football finance expert Dr Tom Markham and former Monaco sporting director, Tor-Kristian Karlsen. We begin by wrapping up the events of the international break, with World Cup joy for Denmark, Sweden, Australia and Peru, tears for Ireland and Italy, and - perhaps most shockingly of all - signs of life from England in their two (goalless) glamour friendlies. After that post mortem, we turn our attention to the return of the Premier League, where the North London derby takes centre stage this weekend, hotly followed by the first meeting in a decade for José Mourinho and Rafa Benitez, and, just as excitingly, David Moyes’ debut in the West Ham dugout. Plus: a big Serie A preview; the World Crap; and a requiem for the fax machine.

On today’s Totally Football Show, Iain Macintosh, James Horncastle and Carrie Dunn join AC Jimbo in the pod to ponder West Ham’s remarkable(ish) comeback in the League Cup, Leicester’s shock(ish) appointment of Claude Puel, and some tasty(ish) encounters in the Premier League.

But while Carrie fills us in on the positive news about the growth women’s game, James H has only bad things to say about events off the field in Italy. Finally, there’s some hot chat about a Star Trek-like encounter at Liverpool, and a fair bit of Luton Town- and Ardiles era Tottenham-tinged nostalgia. Ask your parents, kids.

Koeman and Everton consciously uncouple - is Bilic next for the chop?

On today’s Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo is joined by Michael Cox, Leroy Rosenior and comedian Matt Forde to look back on what could prove to be a pivotal weekend in the Premier League. Arsenal’s 5-2 demolition of Everton turned out to be the final straw as the Toffees finally dispensed with the services of Ronald Koeman. Elsewhere, Dejan Lovren and Victor Lindelof put on two of the worst defensive displays, like, *ever* as Tottenham hammered Liverpool 4-1 and Huddersfield shocked Manchester United. Meanwhile, West Ham and Stoke sunk further into relegation trouble. Also on our agenda: Mezut Özil’s eyes; Boufal’s worldy; and the reinvention of Tom Cleverley.

City off to a flyer in Feyenoord but Liverpool’s defensive problems become even more Sevilla

On your all new Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Michael Cox to reflect on a goal-tastic opening round of games in the Champions League. City and Spurs recorded impressive results away to Feyenoord and home to Dortmund, but Liverpool’s familiar flaws at the back were all too apparent as they drew 2-2 at home to Sevilla. PSG meanwhile looked all-too-menacing as they crushed Celtic 5-0 in Glasgow. After our comprehensive Euro review, we turn our attention to the Premier League. This weekend sees Arsenal head to Chelsea, Man United take on Everton, and there’s also a rousing return to action for Mr Roy as his makes his bow as Crystal Palace’s latest saviour with the Eagles at home to Southampton. All of this, plus back-shaving, ufology and exciting news for the gloomy folks of the West Midlands.

Jaw-dropping performances by Mane and Sane as Frank De Boer is shown the door

On today’s super soaraway Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo is joined by Kelly Cates, Iain Macintosh and Rafa Honigstein to assess a weekend of goals, controversial red cards and, ultimately, panic as Crystal Palace dispensed with the services of Frank De Boer after all of 77 days. We kick off of course by discussing Man City’s 5-0 thrashing of Liverpool, while elsewhere in our Premier League review there’s praise for Stoke, Brighton and even - shock horror - Arsenal.

Sanchez in tears, Leicester in limbo, and Bilic and De Boer in the last chance saloon

On your brand new Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo, Michael Cox, James Horncastle and David Preece give a Dele Alli-like middle finger to the international break and give a proper fist bump to the Premier League. Liverpool head to Man City in the biggest clash of the weekend while there’s a six-pointer at the bottom as Arsenal host Bournemouth. Frank De Boer and Slaven Bilic though could find themselves in a real pickle if the can’t results against Burnley and Huddersfield. Amongst our other talking points: what life is really like for a third-choice keeper, Chile running out of steam and footballing spoonerisms.
