The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

It’s the final Euro Show before the Totally team take an international break of their own, and there’s plenty of action on the Continent to chat about.

It’s a sombre weekend in Spain as the football community across the country pays tribute to Tenerife striker Jesus de Miguel, who sadly passed away after an on-field collision last week. On the pitch, Fermin Lopez is the star of the show at the Metropolitano, scoring twice as Barcelona come back to beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 and go three points clear at the top of the table. Kylian Mbappe is again amongst the scorers as Real Madrid go second with a 3-0 win at struggling Valencia.

In Italy, Inter beat Como to reduce the gap at the top to just one point after leaders Lazio drop points at Napoli. Free-scoring Roma are only one point further back in third after they beat Sassuolo 3-0.

Harry Kane celebrates signing Bayern’s most lucrative ever contract by setting up both goals in a 2-1 win at Mainz. The Bavarians are still only top on goal difference as Dortmund beat Elversberg 2-1 to keep the pace.

And in France, PSG are still just two points clear with both Lille and Paris FC on their coat tails, and Marseille win again!

Another seismic weekend in the Premier League with Matchday 10 delivering before the international break.

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Matt Davies-Adams into the studio to examine it all.

Michael Carrick’s Red Devils slip into the relegation zone despite an incredible comeback to draw 4-4 with Villa. It’s still 1 win from 10 though. Could they still go down?

Brighton beat 10-man Brentford to move 2nd in the table! Are they the team to really challenge champions Arsenal?

Man City slip to 3rd after a 3rd straight defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest. Was Saturday the day Oliver Glasner and Liam Delap really arrived at the City Ground?

Palace are last in the Premier League after losing at home to Liverpool. Does that mean au revoir Pierre Sage?

Sunderland move off the bottom, inflicting another defeat on the road for Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea.

And it’s 8 wins in a row for Bournemouth, with Evanilson scoring for the 5th league match in a row!

Liverpool lose again, Como score NINE + a big Premier League weekend

Jimbo is joined by Natalie Gedra, Julien Laurens and Dan Kilpatrick after another mad Champions League night.

Liverpool are beaten in Istanbul by Fenerbahce’s Premier League all stars team. Was it the right idea for Andoni Iraola to tinker with his team?

Man City and Arsenal are victorious on the road and so too are Como. Very victorious. A record 9-1 win at Lens which shows their class and shows that the French side may have appointed the wrong manager.

The Premier League weekend brings us what could be Michael Carrick’s last game in charge of Man United (at home to Villa) and Pierre Sage’s last game in charge of Palace (at home to Liverpool).

Plus a beauty from Bellingham, why Spurs are back and who was Number 1 when Everton last played Coventry?

Could this be the start of Michael Carrick’s redemption arc at Old Trafford?

Jimbo is joined by Jack Lang, Liam Twomey and Charlie Eccleshare after a crazy night in the Champions League.

It was getting mutinous at Man United with the hosts 2-0 down against Roma having missed a penalty. Enter Matheus Cunha to turn 0 points into 3.

Next up for United, Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Unai Emery’s side are eventually swept aside by swashbuckling Barcelona on Tuesday.

Holders PSG are 4-0 up at Villarreal after 16 minutes, eventually running out 6-0 winners. And Bayern impress with a 2-0 victory at Atletico.

Elsewhere, it’s more misery for the Magpies as Everton win at Newcastle yet again.

And in the Championship, West Ham replace Nuno with Scott Parker! Promotion beckons?

The Euro Show is back to look ahead to another set of mouthwatering Champions League fixtures and discuss what’s been an enthralling weekend of action on the Continent.

AC Milan continue their imperious recent record over city rivals Inter with a 3-1 win at San Siro. Christian Pulisic is yet again amongst the scorers against the Nerazzurri and that result means it’s Lazio who are now outright top of the pile in Serie A after 10 games. Gennaro Gattuso’s side and local rivals Roma, who go to Manchester United this week, are now the only two unbeaten teams in the league.

Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane misses a penalty and Fabio Silva scores a late equaliser as Dortmund hold Bayern to a 2-2 draw in Germany. The Bavarians stay top on goal difference ahead of Die Schwarzgelben, whose former striker Niclas Fullkrug STILL can’t stop scoring for Werder Bremen.

Jude Bellingham scores his 50th goal for Real Madrid as they beat Racing Santander 3-0, while Barcelona get back to winning ways with a 6-1 victory over Alaves. But the attention is on Atletico boss Diego Simeone, who has won a record-equalling 344th La Liga game as a manager. It’s just the small matter of Bayern Munich in the Champions League next up for his side.

And in France, Achraf Hakimi scores a hattrick and creates two assists, all from right-back, as a much changed PSG smash Le Havre 5-1 to maintain top spot in Ligue 1.
