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.

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?

After 17 days of non-stop action, Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Tim Spiers and Daniel Storey take stock after another huge day at the World Cup. Portugal smash the Swiss 6-1 to progress to the quarter-finals, on an evening where all of Fernando Santos’s decisions paid off. Including dropping Cristiano Ronaldo for hat-trick hero Goncalo Ramos. Morocco become just the 4th African team ever to reach the last 8 of the World Cup. As Maher Mezahi explains, a star is born in manager Walid Regragui. But where now for Spain, who have very little to show for their thousands of passes. Plus former Netherlands winger Ryan Babel joins us to preview the Dutch team’s clash with Argentina on Friday and explain why he rapped about Louis Van Gaal. Produced by Charlie Jones.

It’s Jimbo, Tom Williams and Sasha Goryunov on the pod after Day 13 of the World Cup. South Korea score an unbelievably late winner to progress from Group H leaving Uruguay to do some Seoul searching. Korean journalist Sungmo Lee gives us his reaction. Uruguay’s win over Ghana wasn’t enough for them and the Black Stars were awarded another penalty against the South Americans...which the they missed. Just a little bit of history repeating… In Group G, Serbia succumbed to Switzerland 3-2 despite two goals from their superb centre forwards Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic.

Samantha Lewis joins us after Australia pulled off a shock knockout stage progression at Denmark’s expense. Argentina make early fears of a premature exit after their defeat to Saudi Arabia seem premature after a comfortable win over a Poland side who started counting yellow cards to avoid elimination.  Mexico so nearly made it through but a conservative start to the tournament couldn’t be compensated for by a barnstorming finish against Saudi Arabia.

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. Plus we look ahead to the biggest game at the tournament tomorrow… Iran vs USA. Bassil Mikdadi gives us the Iranian perspective on their winner takes all game. And The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal gives us the perspective from the American side. Produced by Charlie Jones & Steve Hankey Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jimbo’s joined by Michael Cox and Dom Fifield to dissect a pivotal Day 7 of World Cup action. Argentina stay in the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Mexico in Doha.

England and USA battle to a goalless draw as The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio once again rues missed opportunities for the US. And why can’t Gareth Southgate find room for Phil Foden? The early game between Wales and Iran highlights the agony of sporting defeat, the ecstasy of sporting victory and as Omid outlines, the grief surrounding what’s happening back home in Iran. But can progress to the last 16 help highlight Iran’s troubles to the world? Elsewhere, Qatar are the earliest exiting hosts ever as Enter Valencia continues to rack up the stats for Ecuador.

The less said about Morocco versus Croatia the better but after that there were some amazing games.  Japan pegged back 2014 world champions Germany to produce the biggest shock of the tournament… had Saudi Arabia not beaten Argentina.  The German players showed that a protest is actually possible at this World Cup with hands over their mouths and rainbows on their laces.

Jimbo welcomes Carl Anka and Tom Williams into the studio on Day 2 of the World Cup, a day that generates as much conversation off the field as on it. England hammer Iran 6-2 with Gareth Southgate throwing caution to the wind with his high full-backs and Bellingham showing why he might be a player that shapes the next decade.  But it’s a colossal missed opportunity as England and other European nations back down from their previous stance of wearing the One Love captain’s armband for fear of sanctions from FIFA.

Jimbo, Carl Anka, Duncan Alexander and Matt Davies-Adams discuss a midweek short of goals and a weekend full of drama. Probably. Manchester United put in their most impressive performance, possibly in years, as they ease past Spurs. And while results have been good, why does the football under Antonio Conte have to be so uninspiring? And what do Graham Potter’s Chelsea have in store for United on Saturday? This weekend it’s Nottingham Forest v Liverpool, a fixture that throws up memories of Edward Sheringham, Robin Hood and could be decided by agent of chaos Darwin Nuñez. Wolves have approached – and since been rejected – by QPR’s Michael Beale. What was it about Steven Gerrard’s former assistant that made the Molineux hierarchy alter their usual approach?

But it’s the perfect start for Xabi Alonso at Leverkusen. Bayern’s former striker Robert Lewandowski is a bit starved of service at Barca as they face Inter in a huge Champions League clash.

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? Or will it be Argentina or Brazil who are looking strong by comparison to the likes of Spain, who have a settled midfield and goalkeeper but not much else.

The Athletic’s Charlotte Harpur gives us the lowdown from Brighton as England come from behind against Spain and gut it out to reach the last 4 of Euro 2022. Can they break their semi-final hoodoo? Unhappy Hammer Benji gets hot under the collar about Jesse Lingard and his potential move to Forest ahead of West Ham, as we also discuss who’s had the strongest transfer window so far. Despite the vuvuzelas, the Jabulani and the dirtiest final of all time, we attempt to show some love to the 2010 World Cup. And Carl and Marcus Rashford have another book out today.

Jimbo’s back and welcomes James Horncastle, Matt Davies-Adams and Sasha Goryunov into a baking hot pod. Euro 2022 enters the quarter-final stage with England taking on Spain at the Amex on Wednesday. Are the Spanish too twee to pose the Lionesses any big problems? In the transfer market, Chelsea bring in gentle giant and model pro Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli. But do they risk losing more academy prospects in the process? Laurie Whitwell joins us from Australia where Erik ten Hag’s Man United keep winning and they’ve just added leftie Lisandro Martinez. Is it time to start to taking United seriously again? Barca secure the signing of Lewandowski. But is it a depressing state of affairs for European football as Barca mortgage their future?   We look back at Sasha’s favourite World Cup – Spain 82. The tournament of Northern Ireland, Brazil’s loss of innocence and Soviet Union’s 3 managers.

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! We reflect on that tournament in Germany including compelling commentary, excellent ads and… yes we talk about the headbutt. Plus we point you in the direction of The Athletic’s coverage of the Woman’s Africa Cup of Nations, because it’s excellent. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We talk about Jack Wilshere’s retirement from playing at just 30 and what a life in coaching holds for him. And we look back at Adrian’s favourite World Cup – Mexico 86. The Azteca footballs, ornate pitch designs if not ornate surfaces and some terrible sartorial and singing decisions from Scotland and England. Learn more about your ad choices.

Euro 22 gets underway with England overcoming stubborn Austria in the tournament opener, with special praise reserved for Kirby and Keira. And Frida Fagerlund previews possibly the game of the weekend – Sweden v Netherlands. In the transfer market, we discuss why Chelsea signing Sterling makes sense. But will we see the return of Raheem the dribbler? Plus Forest’s summer splurge, ten Hag channels Souness and can Newcastle finish top 8? We look back at Julien’s favourite World Cup – France 98.

Join Jimbo, Flo Lloyd Hughes, Daniel Storey, and Raf Honigstein for a look back at some sizzling transfer stories. A look ahead to a summer scorcher in England. And a trip down memory lane to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil... not sure why it's Raf's favourite... In the week where Salah stays put and Ronaldo wants out we bring the latest from the red sides of the North West. Ask Raf about the big red side of Germany and whether Bayern will still include Robert Lewandowski in their line up next season - and if not where will?

It's Jimbo joined by Charlie Eccleshare, Duncan Alexander, and all the way from Brazil, Tim Vickery! And it's a Brazilian flair to the show today as we discuss favourite Brazilian footballers, club swapping Brazilian players (see Raphinha, Gabriel Jesus, Richarlison), and we talk all about the 1950 World Cup which was hosted in, that's right, Brazil - but devastatingly, not won by them. Spoilers! It's not all about the South American continent though, we have some Adebayor nostalgia as The Athletic's Premier League Golden Games reaches number 34.

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 how do Liverpool keep making money? Flo has been with the England women’s team ahead of their friendly with the Netherlands as their preparations for Euro 2022 hot up. 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.

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.

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?

Champions League final ahoy. Matt Davies-Adams, Carl Anka, Rory Smith and Duncan Alexander look ahead to the marquee match of the club season in European football. 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? The appetiser for Saturday sees Roma claim the first ever Conference League trophy with victory over Feyenoord. A great moment for Rome, Mourinho and Smalling.

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. Plus Karanka’s Granada go down, another Lille exodus and could Pogba and Di Maria rejuvenate Juve?

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.

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander and Charlie Eccleshare tackle the final weekend of the Premier League season. Everton survive after an incredible comeback against Palace on Thursday night. Former Toffee Don Hutchison talks to us about their escape and the growing problem of pitch invading fan altercations. The final day promises perhaps more drama than we’ve ever seen in Premier League history. Who will win the title? Who will go down?

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.

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. And will Gareth Bale bid a proper farewell at the Bernabeu?

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. Plus Mark Noble, Prince Albert and the Roy Hodgson debacle at Vicarage Road.

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.

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?

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?

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?

The Champions League last 16 draw takes place twice and second time around, we see PSG paired with Real Madrid in a tie packed full of angles. And Man City face Sporting in the hipster’s choice. Real Madrid look to be running away with the title while Real Betis sit 3rd as Manuel Pellegrini is once again doing a brilliant job in La Liga. Inter go top of Serie A for the first time this season while Dusan Vlahovic’s exit from Fiorentina looks increasingly likely as he cannot stop scoring. It’s a winning start for Domenico Tedesco at Leipzig as Bayern’s Joshua Kimmich admits he regrets not getting vaccinated after Covid causes him lung damage.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City and Man United are all victorious thanks to penalties. Are Jurgen Klopp’s side the best in the country at the top of their game? And how much of a difference does Thiago make? Conversely, are Southampton the worst team in the league on their day?

Steven Gerrard returns to Anfield on Saturday with Aston Villa. Will Stevie G be keen to show some tactical bravery against Liverpool?

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.

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.

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.

Can Dortmund finally get one over Bayern? Sergio Ramos finally makes his debut for PSG but it looks like they’ve lost Neymar till the New Year through injury.

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. And we speak to Ken Saxton, the Spurs fan from Dallas who travelled all the way to Burnley to see the game snowed off and is now friends with Harry Kane.

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. The best player in the Bundesliga right now – outside of Munich – might be Christopher Nkunku who propels Leipzig to a huge win over Dortmund. It’s honours even in the Milan derby but former Milan man Andriy Shevchenko is making his first steps into club management….at Genoa.

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.

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.

With Champions League matchday 4 looming, Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens cast their eye over the continent.

Juventus are cruising the Champions League but are proving themselves to be a mid-table Serie A side. While Zlatan is proving he’s still got it. Can Milan do an Atalanta in the group stage?

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.

There may be big things to come in their future but is this current crop of players and manager doomed to relegation?  West Ham are winners at Everton with everyone else starting to realise how good Declan Rice is.

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.

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.

Jimbo’s back with the first Totally Football Show of the new season in the company of Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Adam Crafton. One of the biggest transfers in football history is about to take place. Lionel Messi says bye-bye to Barcelona and is set to move to PSG. 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? We ask who is best equipped to challenge City for the title this season. Chelsea with Lukaku? Liverpool with Van Dijk? United with Solskjaer under scrutiny?

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.

(16m 00s) • PART 3a: What went right for Italy with James Horncastle (25m 00s) • PART 3b: Looking ahead to Qatar (35m 30s) • PART 4: The odds with Paddy Power (45m 00s) • PART 5: Copa America and final conclusions (48m 30s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC: • theathletic.com/totally   GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow   PARISH NOTICES: • we’re sponsored by Paddy Power - home of the Money Back Special   READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.
