The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

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.

Plus a bad night for the Italian sides, the rest of Tuesday night's action and a look back at Coventry's win over Newcastle on Monday.

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.

The most anticipated Premier League game for many years is won by Enzo Maresca’s men in controversial circumstances. Jimbo, Tom Williams, Adrian Clarke and Colin Millar try to make sense of it all.

City make it six wins out of six against 10-man Liverpool at Anfield, the first loss for Andoni Iraola. What to make of this supreme start to the season when sanctions still hang in the air?

Across Manchester, United fail to beat 10-man Spurs, who move off the bottom of the table. Michael Carrick overseeing United’s worst start to a season in 40 years.

Champions Arsenal have to come from behind to beat Leeds while Chelsea continue to start incredibly fast with a 5-1 thrashing of Bournemouth.

Elsewhere, it’s an unhappy return to Selhurst Park for Oliver Glasner, Brighton stay 3rd and Fulham stay winless after a late show from the Tractor Boys at Portman Road.

Will the English top flight ever be the same again? Jimbo, Julien Laurens, Duncan Alexander and Si Hughes have lots to ponder.

After being ruled to have violated the Premier League’s financial rules for almost a decade, Man City travel to Liverpool on Sunday with the eyes of the world on them. Can Maresca’s men make it six wins out of six against a Liverpool side yet to lose under Iraola?

Spurs are winless and bottom of the table. But could their luck turn against similarly under pressure Man United at Old Trafford?

Champions Arsenal have had three weeks to stew over the 3-0 thrashing by Brighton, as they welcome unbeaten Leeds to the Emirates.

Elsewhere, Glasner goes back to Selhurst Park. And could the Seagulls be champions?

Plus it’s so long Lionel Messi and an almighty Ronaldo ramble as we wrap up the international break.
