The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Can Trent’s Real win back La Liga? And will Napoli retain their title?

Jimbo’s got the Euro gang back together as Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle return for a new season of hijinx and drama across the continent. 


We begin in France, where underdogs PSG got their title defence underway with a 1-0 win away at Nantes on Sunday night. But is there anyone who can close the 19-point gap? And are Marseille already in self-destruct mode? 


The Liga season is well and truly underway, with holders Barcelona getting their campaign off to a winning start against the nine men of Mallorca. Real don’t play until Tuesday night - but how equipped are Xavi Alonso’s new-look side to topple Barca? 


Over in Italy, we’re in store for yet another fascinating title race. The news that Romelu Lukaku is set to miss the first three months of the season with a muscle strain could open the door for a challenger to Napoli’s crown. So will it be a resurgent Milan or perhaps Gasperini’s Roma that put up the greatest fight? 


And in Germany, Harry Kane’s won another trophy! Bayern take home the Supercup. While there are still some areas of concern for Vincent Kompany’s side - have the teams around them done enough over the summer to produce a title race? 


Produced by Lucy Oliva. 


RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1: Welcome back! Just not in French… And moments of the weekend (00.50)

• PART 2: Ligue 1 review - PSG off to winning start - Marseille are not (08.55)

• PART 4: Serie A review - Lukaku injury blow opens up the title race? (37.00)

Arsenal’s Old Trafford victory, Man City’s depth & Liverpool’s chaos

The Premier League is back and so too are Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and Matt Davies-Adams to take in all the Matchday 1 action.


Arsenal have their backs against the wall at Old Trafford but come away with all three points. But are there reasons to be cheerful for Ruben Amorim?


Man City breeze past Wolves at Molineux as we all consider the players Pep didn’t even have at his disposal. And champions Liverpool secure a dramatic victory over Bournemouth. Are Arne Slot’s side far too open?


There are big wins for Sunderland and Forest which are impressive but might tell us quite a lot about West Ham and Brentford.


Plus Eze, Richarlison and Birmingham’s perfect winning goal.


Produced by Charlie Jones.

Totally Extra: Why always him? The Mario Balotelli story

Welcome to your Saturday morning dose of Totally!


This is a space where we let our figurative hair down and free ourselves from the relentless merry-go-round of this season. We’ll have nostalgia, we'll have trivia, we'll have whatever nonsense tickles our fancy really. And we'll be taking a look back through the annuls into the week in football that was through the years...


Today we're taking a trip down memory lane and charting the remarkable life and career of Mario Balotelli - who happened to celebrate his 35th birthday on the 12th of August.


A great entertainer, social media legend, fireworks enthusiast, bib denier, misunderstood character, sensational striker and hugely significant cultural figure - from Inter to Genoa and everywhere in between.


Produced by Lucy Oliva.


RUNNING ORDER:

• PART 1: Welcome to Totally Extra - Cotswolds recommendations, sausage pasta, road trips and a quiz question (00.40)

• PART 2: This week in football - Triffic Niko Kranjčar, the start of the Premier League and crazy lockdown scorelines (12.00)

• PART 3: Why Always Me? The life and times of Mario Balotelli (16.35)

• PART 4: AOB, James' hotspot password and a correct answer? (55.00)

Season preview part two: The relegation dogfight... and can Man United be any worse?

Jimbo's joined by Tom Williams, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers as we continue our look ahead to the 2025-26 Premier League season - and after shining the spotlight on the six teams competing in the Champions League during our last episode, today we turn our focus to the rest of the sides in the top flight.


But we begin in Udine, where Tottenham saw a two-goal lead dashed to be beaten 4-3 by PSG on penalties in Wednesday night's Super Cup final. Despite defeat - are there reasons to be positive for Spurs fans?


Back to domestic matters, and there's plenty of intrigue around the return of Sunderland after an eight-year spell out of the big time. The Athletic's football finance writer and Mackem Chris Weatherspoon joins us to consider their chances of staying up - before we run the rule over how fellow promoted sides Leeds and Burnley could fare after breaking the 100-point barrier in the Championship last season.


Elsewhere - surely Manchester United can't be as bad as they were last season? Laurie Whitwell stops by to talk us through the pros and cons of their pre-season - and hopes for this campaign with the pressure on Ruben Amorim to turn their fortunes around.


Will Everton be interesting this season with Jack Grealish added to the mix? Are Brighton the side most likely to upset the established 'big six' this time round? What kind of season will Forest have after the unexpected highs of last season? And are Brentford the 'B' team at risk of get dragged into a relegation scrap?


All those questions and many more answered - plus a low socks convention, bad penalties and regretful friendships.


Produced by Jesse Howard and Lucy Oliva.


RUNNING ORDER:

• PART 1: PSG lift the Super Cup (05.00)

• PART 2a: Sunderland's return to the top flight with Chris Weatherspoon (18.30)

• PART 2b: The hopes for Leeds and Burnley of survival (26.45)

• PART 3: Are Manchester United going to be better this season? With Laurie Whitwell (42.45)

• PART 4: Who'll be the best of the rest? (53.25)

Season preview part one: Is there actually a title favourite?

Jimbo's back for the 2025-26 season and he's got Charlie Eccleshare, Duncan Alexander and Daniel Storey alongside him to bring you our first preview episode ahead of the shiny new Premier League campaign.


Today, we’re shining the spotlight on the six clubs who qualified for the Champions League last season.


Liverpool have made the most eye-catching signings over the summer - but are they favourites to retain their crown? Could world champions Chelsea be the surprise package? Can Arsenal *finally* go from bridesmaid to bride and take home their first title since 03-04? And Will Pep Guardiola's new-look coaching staff help take them back to the heights of seasons past?


How will Newcastle recover from their tumultuous off-season? George Caulkin joins us with the latest on the Alexander Isak saga after it was revealed he has no intention to play for the Magpies again - even if he isn't sold.


And - can Thomas Frank take Europa League winners Tottenham from 17th in the table to a serious Premier League outfit again?


All that plus bad knee slides, petulant teenagers and the plight of Sheffield Wednesday.


Produced by Lucy Oliva.


RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1: Reasons for excitement ahead of the new season (02.00)

• PART 2: The latest on Alexander Isak and Newcastle with George Caulkin (07.40)

Totally Gold 95-96: Keegan's Newcastle and the best Premier League game ever

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns.


For the last time this summer, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1995/96 season, when Keegan's entertainers nearly went all the way.


Newcastle were the neutrals' favourites and Man United were in transition with their kids. But a 12 point lead in January evaporated for the Magpies via Cantona, a legendary Keegan outburst and the greatest game in Premier League history.


Elsewhere, English clubs were terrible in Europe, Alan Hansen was embarrassed by the Class of 92 and Man City were relegated due to a lack of technology.


Produced by Charlie Jones.


RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1a: Blackburn stink up the joint (04.00)

• PART 1b: Man City relegated (06.30)

Totally Gold 92/93: The Premier League begins

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns.


Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1992/93 season - the dawn of the Premier League. A whole new ball game as Sky Sports called it.


Man United ended their 26 year wait for the title, in a campaign transformed by Cantona. Could English football have taken a different tactical trajectory if high-flying Norwich had won the Premier League?


Elsewhere, there was Oldham's incredible escape, Brian Clough's demise and big-name clubs being completely bamboozled by the new back pass rule.


Produced by Charlie Jones.


RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1a: Sky and the Premier League launch (02.00)

• PART 1b: The Norwich story (05.00)

Totally Gold Champions League 01/02: Zidane downs Leverkusen in Glasgow

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns.


Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Alvaro Romeo on the 2001/02 Champions League season, and that Zidane goal in Glasgow. Was it that good?


Perhaps the greatest goal in Champions League final history saw the Spanish overcome upstart German opposition at Hampden. Little did Real Madrid know that this would be their last Champions League title for 12 years. And little did we know that Leverkusen wouldn't be Neverkusen forever.


Elsewhere, it was a maiden Champions League campaign for Celtic and Liverpool, and the dawn of a second group stage.


Plus Beckham's metatarsal, Las Ketchup and the Proclaimers.


Produced by Charlie Jones.


RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1a: Leverkusen and Real Madrid taking different paths (02.00)

• PART 1b: Celtic 4-3 Juventus (06.00)

Totally Gold Champions League 94/95: Van Gaal's Ajax go all the way

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns.


Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein and Julien Laurens on the 1994/95 Champions League season, when invincible Ajax shocked the world.


In perhaps the peak of Louis van Gaal's long managerial career, this young crop of mostly homegrown talent went unbeaten in the Eredivisie and the Champions League to take home the top prize. Time to give Jari Litmanen some much overdue love.


Elsewhere, it was a campaign of Weah's PSG reaching the semi-finals, Due Hard henchmen and Gary Walsh being embarrassed by Barcelona.


Produced by Charlie Jones.

England are European champions again. Plus Gibbs-White stays, Isak goes?

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Natalie Gedra, Matt Davies-Adams and Charlotte Harpur reflect on the incredible Lionesses retaining the European Championship.


With their backs against the wall for pretty much the whole tournament, Sarina’s side eventually overcome world champions Spain on penalties. We pay tribute to Kelly, Bronze and co and ponder what the legacy of yet more success will be for England.


Jubilation in Nottingham too where Morgan Gibbs-White, on his way to Spurs just a couple of weeks ago, signs a new contract at the City Ground. Plus Alexander Isak to Liverpool - the stuff of madmen’s dreams?


Elsewhere, reports indicate that West Ham's Lucas Paqueta might not face a lifetime ban for spot-fixing.


Plus when City signed Aguero, when Inter signed Keane, what’s going on at the Copa América Femenina and what to look out for in the EFL?

England and Spain meet in yet another final + the latest on Ekitike, Isak & Gyökeres

Jimbo's got Michael Cox, Matt Davies-Adams and Tom Williams alongside him to look back on two incredibly dramatic semi-final clashes at Euro 2025.


It's England and Spain who progress to Sunday's final in Basel after a double dose of extra time - with the Lionesses relying on super-subs Michelle Agyemang & Chloe Kelly yet again to turn things around against Italy, while for the world champions it was the best player in the world Aitana Bonmatí who produced a moment of magic in their 1-0 victory over Germany.


We've got the latest transfer news - with Ekitike officially in at Liverpool, Gyökeres all but officially in at Arsenal - and Alexander Isak NOT joining up with Newcastle on their pre-season tour of east Asia due to injury...


Elsewhere, we mark the 25th anniversary of surely the most controversial transfer in history - when Luís Figo swapped Barcelona for Real Madrid, on this day back in the year 2000.


And it’s the second Inter Totally semi-final with Julien Laurens and Tom Williams duking it out for a place in the final...

Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein and Duncan Alexander on the 1996/97 Champions League season, the last one with only champions in it


It was also the last time that Juventus were defending champions and the only time Borussia Dortmund went all the way and won the trophy in Munich. It was a good year to be a German football fan.


Auxerre were French champions, Milinko Pantic was top scorer and Roy Hodgson made Javier Zanetti lose his cool. It was a different era.

Jimbo welcomes Carl Anka, Charlie Eccleshare, Adrian Clarke and Megan Feringa into the pod with big headlines being made on and off the pitch.


The heroics of Ann-Katrin Berger somehow send Germany through to a Euro 2025 semi-final with Spain. Will it be England awaiting in the final with Sarina’s side big favourites ahead of their semi with Italy?


Marcus Rashford is Barcelona-bound as the Catalan club agree to take him and his wages for next season. What now for the rest of the bomb squad at Man United? And how do you pronounce Mbeumo?


Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Hugo Ekitike and are maybe still interested in Alexander Isak. Plus Noni Madueke is an Arsenal player and Evan Ferguson is off to Rome.


Plus we look back at David Platt’s move to Serie A and forward to the present-day race for the Scudetto.

It’s Jimbo, Michael Cox, Jack Lang and Jay Harris after an unbelievable night of action at the Women’s Euros.


England battle from 2-0 down to eventually overcome Sweden after an epic and awful penalty shootout. Sarina did it again with her subs - is a Spain v England final now inevitable?


The transfer merry-go-round is spinning fast with Liverpool showing interest in Alexander Isak but eventually plumping for Magpies target Hugo Ekitike. Plus it looks like being a bleak summer at Brentford and an interesting one at Swansea.


Elsewhere we look back at the end of Pele’s Brazil career and the cultural significance of Nick Barmby.

Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Sasha Goryunov and Alvaro Romeo on the 2004/05 season, the one with the greatest final in the competition’s history.


In Rafa Benitez’s first season in charge of Liverpool, the Reds finished level on points with Bolton and won the Champions League in Istanbul.


For Carlo Ancelotti’s Milan, it was the second incredible collapse in two seasons. And for Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea, who produced an all-time classic with Barcelona, it looked like the trophy was theirs. Until a ghost goal.

Chelsea are crowned world champions with a 3-0 victory over PSG in the Club World Cup final. How did they do it? How good is Enzo Maresca? And can they challenge for the Premier League title?


England are through to the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euros after a 6-1 demolition of Wales. But even though they were runners up, have they ended up on the good side of the draw?


Where Crystal Palace end up is a big debate right now as UEFA demote them from the Europa League to the Conference League for breaching multi-club ownership rules. Are the Eagles victims of their own naivety?


And there’s some big transfers going on in the Premier League. Gyökeres to Arsenal, Henderson to Brentford and who’s that masquerading as Daniel Levy in North London?

PSG add Real Madrid to their recent list of toppled titans with a 4-0 win to set up a meeting with Chelsea in the Club World Cup final. When did we last see a team as good as Luis Enrique’s side and what can Enzo Maresca do to stop them?


The Lionesses come roaring back with a 4-0 win over Netherlands to boost their hopes of a quarter-final place at Euro 2025. Charlotte Harpur has more from Zurich.


In the transfer market, plenty of Arsenal fans are unhappy that they might be signing another Chelsea player while we try to explain why the big guns don’t want Victor Osimhen.


Speaking of big guns, it’s Michael Cox versus Daniel Storey in the Inter Totally Cup quarter-final.

The Club World Cup reaches the semi-final stage with Chelsea taking on Fluminense and PSG up against Mbappe’s Real Madrid. Has Enzo Maresca stumbled upon a more counterattacking style at Stamford Bridge? And can Guler and Garcia continue their superb form for Los Blancos?


Speaking of superb, Spain are through to the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euros in some style. But England’s status hangs in the balance after their defeat to France. Are the players fit enough? And are some there on reputation?


Mexico are Gold Cup winners again, overcoming the USA. Felipe Cardenas joins us to discuss the state of the World Cup co-hosts and 16-year-old prodigy Gilberto Mora.

Totally Gold 03/04: Abramovich arrives but Arsenal go Invincible

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns.


Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on that time where Arsenal went the whole season unbeaten. You may have heard of it.


It was the arrival of Roman Abramovich at Chelsea that shook English football to its core with unprecedented levels of spending in the summer of 2003. But Arsene Wenger’s Gunners were the team that made history and lifted the title. And all on ITV.


The unbeaten record could have gone early in the campaign as Ruud van Nistelrooy lined up to take a penalty at Old Trafford…


Elsewhere, it’s a season that will be remembered for Leeds’ relegation, Ronaldo's debut and the most Spursy game ever.



Produced by Charlie Jones.
