The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

It’s another Euro Show and there are more blockbuster Champions League fixtures to look ahead to.

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Pol Ballus and Seb Stafford-Bloor as Barcelona travel to PSG and Bayern host Arsenal in Matchweek 3. Are they the four best teams in the competition?

Barcelona have won 11 games in a row in all competition, with Lamine Yamal scoring another outrageous strike against Real Betis. There’s no Vinicius Jr for Real Madrid, but they still beat Sevilla 4-1. Why have Los Blancos released a statement attacking La Liga President Javier Tebas though?

Bayern are back on top in Germany after a thumping 6-1 win over RB Leipzig. Harry Kane loves scoring against Arsenal, but he’ll have to do so without the help of suspended Michael Olise this time.

In France, there’s a five way split at the summit after Monaco lose at Lorient. Are PSG starting to look inevitable?

And in Italy, Lazio have made their best start to a Serie A season ever. Is it time to take Gennaro Gattuso’s side seriously and what does that 3-0 defeat of Juventus mean for Luciano Spalletti?

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, JJ Bull and Tim Spiers for company after Matchday 7 of the Premier League.

Champions Arsenal were made to wait at the City Ground but Noni Madueke’s late strike took the 3 points home for the Gunners as Forest continue to struggle in front of goal.

Man United were ahead at Elland Road but get pegged back. It’s now just 2 wins from 10 matches in all competitions for Michael Carrick’s side.

Brighton make it six wins in a row as they blow Crystal Palace away. Diego Gomez scores from the halfway line. Do the Seagulls have what it takes to go all the way?!

Man City make it 7 wins out of 7 under Enzo Maresca as we continue to ponder what that’s worth.

There are big wins for Chelsea, Liverpool and Villa on the road.

Plus Fulham and Bournemouth get their first league wins under their new managers.

After a record-breaking night in the Champions League, Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Jack Lang and Julien Laurens pore through all the goals and drama.

The champions of Europe looked exactly that in the first half of the Etihad, racing into a 3-0 lead. Can anyone stop Luis Enrique’s side? And did Enzo Maresca get it wrong with his team selection?

There are six goal hauls for Liverpool at LASK, where Bradley Barcola bags a hat-trick. And for Villa against Fenerbahce. Luis Miguel Echegaray drops in to discuss their biggest ever win under Emery.

And Jose Mourinho returns to Rome with Real Madrid and takes all three points, despite being 3-1 down after 84 minutes.

The Premier League brings intrigue this weekend with a must-win for Fulham, an unhappy hunting ground for Arsenal and a crunch clash between Leeds and Man United. How will the off-field storm surrounding the club affect Michael Carrick and his players?

Lisandro Martinez didn't hold back in his post match interview after Man Utd's 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid, attacking the club's board and director of football.

Jimbo is joined by Julien Laurens, Liam Twomey & Art De Roche to break down Tuesday night's Champions League action.

Arsenal left it late for the second time in a number of days, scoring three in six second half minutes to beat Lille 3-0. Viking provided the shock of the night, drawing 3-3 against Bayern, whilst Barca's attack was breathtaking in their 4-1 win over Galatasary.

The Euro Show is back after an international hiatus and there’s plenty to discuss with the return of the Champions League and yet more headline making for Vinicius Jr.

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Seb Stafford-Bloor and a special cameo appearance from Pol Ballus ahead of some blockbuster Champions League clashes. It’s all eyes on the Etihad Stadium as Manchester City host holders PSG. What’s been the reaction to City’s charges across the rest of Europe?

Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid go to his former club Roma with both teams having had star attackers sent off over the weekend: Donyell Malen seeing red at Como, while Vinicius Jr is dismissed for pulling Villarreal midfielder Nathan Saliba’s hair.

Julian Alvarez has parted company with his long-term agent. What might that mean for Manchester United’s chances against Atletico Madrid?

Plus, Bayern Munich concede the fastest goal in Bundesliga history in a 2-2 draw with Augsburg, as Freiburg go top of the table.
