The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

In a week that’s literally bursting with football, Jimbo is joined by Michael Cox, Raphael Honigstein and Duncan Alexander to try and make sense of it all.

Newcastle channel the crowd to beat PSG 4-1 in the Champions League. Did the Parisians underestimate the Toon Army and will the Magpies be putting all their emotional energy into these European nights?

It’s back-to-back Champions League defeats for the first time ever for Man United. Where has their confidence gone?

Contrasting fortunes for Arsenal and Man City as they prepare to face off in the Premier League on Sunday. Could Rico Lewis be the key to victory as he was in Leipzig?

Off the field, there’s the 2030 World Cup announcement and the most exciting audio release of the season so far, the PGMOL Luis Diaz drama.

Plus moral offsides, Luka Modric and can Tottenham top the table?

Produced by Charlie Jones.

Napoli on fire in time for Real Madrid, while PSG head to St James’ Park

Jimbo brings in the continental big guns - James Horncastle, Raphael Hongstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo - as the Champions League returns.

Napoli have scored 8 goals in their last 2 matches, with Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia seemingly back to their best. A fine time for Jude Bellingham’s Real Madrid to be visiting.

PSG head to Newcastle after another 0-0 at Clermont. Leipzig host Man City after losing their sporting director last week. And Thomas Tuchel is starting to wonder whether he’s the problem at Bayern.

Domestically, it’s a good time for Genoa and a bad time for Andrea Pirlo’s Sampdoria. Leverkusen make their best start ever while Lyon are in as much bother as the Nantes mascot.
