Also up for discussion: Celtic make history; Northern Ireland on the brink of the World Cup; and why you should never cross a seagull LIVE EVEN...

Oct 19, 2017•1 hr 11 min•Transcript available on Metacast On today’s edition of The Totally Football Show, James Richardson is joined by Rafa Honigstein, Kelly Cates and David Preece to analyse a stonking weekend in the Premier League and beyond. City were simply sensational against Stoke - but can they do it against Napoli on (a rainy) Tuesday (night)? Crystal Palace finally got their first win - but can Mr Roy build on this momentum? And Spurs beat Bournemouth at Wembley - but can they do the business against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu? Also up for ...

On the agenda: why Crystal Palace are much better than their league position suggests; a look ahead to all the mid-week Champions League ties, including Celtic’s must win trip to Anderlecht; and what Man City’s hot streak has in common with Cliff Richard’s discography.

Sep 19, 2017•48 min•Transcript available on Metacast On today’s Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo is joined by Rafa Honigstein, Sasha Goryunov and Simon Hughes to analyse a weekend in which both Manchester sides laid down significant markers in their bid to bring the Premier League trophy back to the North West.

Also on today’s agenda: geopolitics, more ufology, and ‘Arry binn...
Sep 18, 2017•1 hr 10 min•Transcript available on Metacast On your all new Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Michael Cox to reflect on a goal-tastic opening round of games in the Champions League. City and Spurs recorded impressive results away to Feyenoord and home to Dortmund, but Liverpool’s familiar flaws at the back were all too apparent as they drew 2-2 at home to Sevilla. PSG meanwhile looked all-too-menacing as they crushed Celtic 5-0 in Glasgow. After our comprehensive Euro review, we turn our attenti...
