  1. 2D AGO

    Will Haaland help City topple Liverpool? Will the Black Cats be bad luck for Arsenal?

    Jimbo's accompanied by Charlie Eccleshare, Mark Carey and Duncan Alexander for a closer inspection of Wednesday night's Champions League action - and a look ahead to MD11 in the Premier League. In the UCL there was end-to-end chaos in Bruges, potentially costly dropped points for Chelsea out in Azerbaijan - and a sensational header from Dan Burn as Newcastle picked up their third straight European victory. But - as City blew away Dortmund - is the disparity between the Premier League and the other sides across the continent growing bigger and bigger? Then it's back to domestic affairs - and the small matter of Manchester City v Liverpool on Sunday afternoon as both sides seek out a win to try and keep pace with leaders Arsenal. But could the Gunners have already stretched the gap to nine points if they can be the first side to win at the Stadium of Light this season on Saturday evening? All that plus the Europa League final rematch, the battle for Pease Pottage services - and bags of snakes. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

    It's a midweek Totally Extra and Jimbo is joined in the studio by Tom Williams, Jack Lang and Dan Kilpatrick to discuss Tuesday night's Champions League games. It's been a good week for Liverpool who beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield and have put the brakes on their 'crisis'.

    Liverpool v Real & PSG v Bayern top midweek Champions League billing

    Jimbo, Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle are all aboard for your latest Euro Edition - with a pretty mouthwatering MD4 upon us in the Champions League.  We begin with some of those key midweek battles including yet another showdown between PSG and Bayern, the Trent/ Alonso Derby as Real Madrid head back to Anfield - and the meeting of minds as Marseille v Atalanta pits Roberto De Zerbi against Ivan Jurić. Domestically, in Serie A Luciano Spalletti began life as Juve manager with a 2-1 win at Cremonese - and he’s not shy about their title ambitions this season, just four points behind Napoli in top spot.  Real Madrid maintained their commanding position at the top of the La Liga table - but are things all as they seem behind the scenes under Xabi Alonso’s management?  After a peculiar round of results in midweek PSG got back to winning ways and are two points clear at the top of Ligue 1 - while Monaco tasted defeat for the first time under Sébastien Pocognoli. And in the Bundesliga - there’s questions around Dortmund’s identity under Niko Kovač - and what the expectations are for Bayer Leverkusen as they were outclassed by a seemingly unstoppable Bayern.  Plus - the ongoing Nando’s animosity continues - and garlic bread is added to the equation…   Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the weekend (00.45) • PART 2: Champions League MD4 standout fixtures (11.20) • PART 3: Serie A review - Spalletti’s bright start and Napoli’s big week (21.10) • PART 4: La Liga review - Unrest at Madrid despite near perfect start?

    Jimbo's got Charlie Eccleshare, Jay Harris and Tom Williams alongside him in the Totally studio for Carabao Cup and Premier League MD10 fun and games. We begin with the midweek League Cup action - headlined by Liverpool losing to Crystal Palace for the third time this season, Djed Spence struggling with his boots - and Liam Delap getting Chelsea's customary red card! Then it's all eyes on the feast of weekend action that awaits - including Manchester City v Bournemouth, Liverpool v Aston Villa and Tottenham v Chelsea. Will Arne Slot be vindicated in his decision to leave all the big boys out all together in the defeat by the Eagles in midweek? Will it be goal machines Haaland or Semenyo who take the headlines at the Etihad? And can events in North London live up to the recent bonkers meetings between the two enemies as Spurs host the Blues?!

    Bellingham shines in dramatic Clasico as Juve show Tudor the door

    Jimbo’s got James Horncastle with him in the studio and Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Julien Laurens in far flung corners of Germany and Spain for your weekly round up of European footballing fun. There’s only one place to start - and that’s with events at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday afternoon as Real put an end to Barca’s recent Clásico dominance in typically tempestuous and dramatic fashion.  Over in Italy, it was eight games without a win too many for Igor Tudor - dismissed by Juventus after their 1-0 defeat at Lazio. Meanwhile, Napoli went back top but lost KDB in bizarre circumstances - and back-flipping Jamie Vardy opened his Cremonese account!  In a shock twist of fate Harry Kane *didn’t* score for Bayern Munich this weekend, but it didn’t matter as they made it 13 wins from 13 games in all competitions in their 3-0 victory at Gladbach. Closest challengers Leipzig continued their sensational form as they put six past Augsburg.  And in Ligue 1, PSG are back on top thanks to their 3-0 win at Brest - taking full advantage of the defeat handed out to Marseille by high-flying Lens who are now up to second in the table! All that plus - cancelled holidays in Miami, unsightly gestures and plenty of ill-tempered confrontations.  Produced by Lucy Oliva.  RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1: Moments of the weekend - and top-secret snails… (00.45) • PART 2: La Liga Review - Jude stars as Yamal starts arguments (10.30) • PART 3: Ligue 1 review - PSG back on top as Lyon continue to surprise (24.35) • PART 4: Serie A review - Tudor no more as Napoli return to winning ways (30.45) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - Leipzig on fire and Karl only scores bangers (48.10) Hosted on Acast.
