Jimbo’s got Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and James Horncastle alongside him for a deep dive into a fascinating weekend of action across the continent.  It’s fair to say the Serie A title race is hotting up, with just two points separating Napoli in first and Juventus in sixth! That’s after Inter and Napoli shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the San Siro, while Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lazio and Juve all picked up big wins.  Real Madrid clawed back some ground in the La Liga title race after their 4-0 win over Osasuna which included a hat-trick for Vinicius, a first goal of the season for Jude Bellingham - and a devastating injury for Eder Militao. They’re now six points behind Barcelona with a game in hand after Hansi Flick’s side fell to only their second league defeat of the season at Real Sociedad in controversial circumstances... Bayern Munich find themselves five points clear at the top of the Bundesliga table after their 1-0 win over St Pauli courtesy of Jamal Musiala's sensational strike. Meanwhile, Dortmund’s horror start to the season rumbled on with a 3-1 defeat at Mainz - and Leverkusen’s week to forget continued as they were held by Bochum.  And in Ligue 1, it’s business as usual for PSG who continued their unbeaten start to the season in a 4-2 win over Angers. Not such smooth sailing for Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille, beaten 3-1 by newly promoted Auxerre at the Velodrome which prompted the former Brighton boss to say he’ll ‘leave the money and hand back my contract’. *** We’ve been nominated for Podcast of the Year at the 2024 Football Supporters’ Association Awards!

Jimbo’s joined by his continental crew - Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Seb Stafford-Bloor - to look back on a seismic week of European action - and all the fallout from Monday night’s Ballon d’Or ceremony which has left Real Madrid rather unhappy… We dive into the big news coming out of Old Trafford - that Manchester United are working on a deal to appoint Sporting Lisbon’s Ruben Amorim as their new head coach. Portuguese journalist David Novo brings us the latest. There was pandemonium at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday night as La Liga leaders Barcelona thrashed their fierce rivals in El Clasico to move six points clear at the top of the table. It was also a week to forget for Atléti, beaten 1-0 at Betis which means they’re 10 points off the pace despite their record summer spending.  There was also chaos in Serie A, with the Derby d'Italia finishing 4-4 between Juventus and Inter.

Julien Laurens, Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and James Horncastle are back with Jimbo to reflect on another busy weekend of European action - and look ahead to matchday three in the Champions League.  In La Liga, Barcelona put five past Sevilla while Real Madrid extended their unbeaten league run to 42 games ahead of a tantalising El Clásico coming up on Saturday night when Los Blancos could equal the record - set by Barca no less! But there’s a stern test for Hansi Flick to navigate in midweek first - with their nemesis and his former side Bayern Munich in town…  Speaking of, Harry Kane was back to scoring ways (after a whole three games without a goal) as he bagged a hat-trick in Bayern’s 4-0 win over Stuttgart to warm up for the trip to Spain in style. There were also Bundesliga wins for Leverkusen and Dortmund - who continue to bewilder with their mixed form under Nuri Sahin as they prepare to face Real Madrid in a rematch of this summer’s Champions League final.  It was a weekend of fine margins over in Italy, with Napoli, Inter, Milan and Juventus all winning 1-0. It’s Antonio Conte’s men who lead the way at the top of the Serie A table - while Roma’s frustrating start under Ivan Juric continues.  And in France, PSG are beginning to purr with Bradley Barcola starring once again in their 4-2 win over Strasbourg - taking full advantage after early leaders Monaco were held to a goalless draw by Lille.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (0.45) • PART 2: La Liga review - Barcelona & Real Madrid win ahead of big UCL midweek (12.45) • PART 3: Bundesliga review - Bayern put 5 past Sevilla ahead of trip to Spain (25.30) • PART 4: Ligue 1 review - PSG take back top spot after Monaco draw (38.55) • PART 5: Serie A review - 1-0’s across the board for the big boys (49.40) Learn more about your ad choices.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander and Jay Harris into the studio after France and Portugal set up a quarter-final date in dramatic fashion. Portugal overcome Slovenia on penalties after a 0-0 draw that revolves around Cristiano Ronaldo and his obsession with scoring. How much longer can Roberto Martinez indulge his captain and how annoyed must his team-mates be? France need a late own goal to see off Belgium as they still wait for one of their own players to score from open play. Julien Laurens tells us why Didier Deschamps won’t be changing his approach any time soon. And Tuesday sees the last day of last 16 action.

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.

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.

While Team Totally catches up on their zzzs ahead of the knockouts, we want to tell you about our upcoming live show! Join Jimbo, the stats-tastic Duncan Alexander, the utterly Gallic Julien Laurens, the enigmatic Producer Charlie and a special mystery guest* at the Leicester Square Theatre in London's West End on Tuesday October the 8th. We'll talk about what's going on in the Premier League, discuss who'll be doing what in the revamped Champions League, and tell you tales that are just far too spicy for the regular pod. Tickets are on sale now - and you can get full details at leicestersquaretheatre.com, or by searching for 'Totally Football Show live' on your Google machine __ * The mystery guest is quite probably James Horncastle, but he's a little tied up at the moment and we can't remember if he just agreed to the show in principle when we asked him a few weeks ago or whether he did indeed 100% confirm.

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... With two rest days incoming before the round of 16 begins in earnest over the weekend - we take a look ahead to the full line-up of fixtures - and speak to Rafa Honigstein ahead of Germany v Denmark on Saturday night...

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. Julien Laurens highlights the issues facing Didier Deschamps now. Plus we look ahead to Wednesday’s action where Ukraine look to inspire again Produced by Charlie Jones.

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.

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. Plus we discuss Harry Kane’s comments about England players turned pundits. Should they be cheerleaders or should the current crop expect to be criticised? Produced by Charlie Jones.

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? La Roja batter the Azzurri 1-0 with Nico Williams providing perhaps the standout performance of the tournament. Plus Julien Laurens joins us to look at France’s clash with Netherlands and specifically the state of Kylian Mbappe’s nose.  Produced by Charlie Jones.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams to recap a busy day of action at Euro 2024.

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Charlie Eccleshare and Jay Harris after a hugely dramatic Premier League weekend with twists and turns at both ends of the table. Liverpool dominate chaotic Man United at Old Trafford but once again cannot beat the Red Devils. Is it wastefulness that will cost Jurgen Klopp’s side the title? And can there be any case for Erik ten Hag staying at Old Trafford next season?  Arsenal go top on goal difference after an impressive 3-0 win at Brighton, with Havertz reaping rewards again. But what happens if they go behind? And will their exploits against Bayern affect them? Man City also ease past Palace with Kevin De Bruyne showing he’s not done while Jack Grealish might be coming back to prominence. At the other end, there are big wins for Everton and Luton, plus Brentford bag a point in one of the games at weekend at Villa. Where will Thomas Frank be next season? Plus the yellow card race and which goal scorer this weekend might be the most important player to their club in the Premier League? Produced by Charlie Jones.   RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Man United 2-2 Liverpool (05.00) • PART 2a: Brighton 0-3 Arsenal (23.00) • PART 2b: Crystal Palace 2-4 Man City (33.00) • PART 3a: Sheff Utd 2-2 Chelsea (37.00)  • PART 3b: Big wins for Luton and Everton at the bottom (43.00) • PART 4a: Tottenham 3-1 Forest (47.00) • PART 4b: Aston Villa 3-3 Brentford (54.00) • PART 4c: The rest of the Premier League weekend (61.00) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR £2 A MONTH FOR 12 MONTHS • theathletic.com/totally Learn more about your ad choices.
