  • Totally Extra: Edenism - the art of enjoying Hazard
    Nov 15 2025

    Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Michael Cox and Matt Davies-Adams to turn back a few pages of the Totally Almanac to the Eden Hazard chapter.


    Twinkling feet and a famously sturdy behind, the enigmatic Belgian won it all in his seven sparkling years at Chelsea and four injury ravaged seasons in Madrid. The panel ponder, are flair players like Hazard a dying breed?


    Plus Kristof Terreur drops in to explain why Eden is so loved in Belgium despite the 'golden generation' never quite getting over the line.

  • Bayern no longer perfect, Conte being Conte - and ten Hag back to Ajax?!
    Nov 11 2025

    Jimbo’s got Pol Ballús, James Horncastle, Julien Laurens and Seb Stafford-Bloor all along for the rollercoaster ride through the weekend’s action across the continent.


    We kick things off in France, where PSG have João Neves to thank for their two-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table after his 95th minute winner against Lyon. But chasers Lens and Marseille had wins of their own to keep the pressure on Luis Enrique’s side.


    In the Bundesliga - Bayern didn’t win a game! But neither did Leipzig or Dortmund, meaning Vincent Kompany’s men have actually extended their lead at the top of the table to six points despite the 2-2 draw at Union Berlin.


    In Spain, Real Madrid were lucky to come away from Rayo Vallecano with a point - which Barcelona took full advantage of in their 4-2 win at Celta Vigo, featuring a hat-trick from 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski. A special guest joins us from Vigo… nothing to do with Nando’s….


    And in Serie A, are we seeing a repeat of Napoli’s last title defence?! Antonio Conte made some… interesting comments after his side were beaten 2-0 by Bologna to fall behind Inter and Roma at the top of the table.


    Plus - what’s going on at Ajax?! Dutch football expert Michiel Jongsma joins us to explain some of the fun and games in the Eredivisie - and whether a certain ten Hag might be making a return…

  • Man City dismantle Liverpool as super Sunderland stop Arsenal’s winning run
    Nov 10 2025

    Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Tim Spiers after a dramatic Matchday 11 in the Premier League.


    Pep Guardiola celebrates his 1000th game as a manager with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over champions Liverpool. Are the Reds out of the race? Meanwhile City look back to their best as they close the gap on leaders Arsenal to 4 points.


    That's because of a last-gasp equaliser for Sunderland at the Stadium of Light as the Gunners concede not once but twice!


    There are big wins on Sunday for Forest over Leeds, Brentford over Newcastle and most impressively Villa over Bournemouth by four goals to nil.


    Spurs are also denied by a stoppage-time leveller on Saturday as De Ligt pops up to keep Man United's unbeaten run going.


    And bottom club Wolves are on the verge of appointing Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards as their new gaffer. Can he make history and keep them up?

  • Will Haaland help City topple Liverpool? Will the Black Cats be bad luck for Arsenal?
    Nov 6 2025

    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.

    It's been a good week for Liverpool who beat Real Madrid 1-0 at Anfield and have put the brakes on their 'crisis'. PSG were undone by Luis Diaz and a 10 man Bayern whose unbelievable run continues under Vincent Kompany.


    Meanwhile a good night for North London as Spurs beat Copenhagen 4-0 and Arsenal won 3-0 away at Slavia Prague, breaking the record for youngest Champions League player ever.

  • Liverpool v Real & PSG v Bayern top midweek Champions League billing
    Nov 4 2025

    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…

  • Liverpool + City back on song but impenetrable Arsenal go 6 points clear
    Nov 3 2025

    Jimbo has JJ Bull, Adrian Clarke and Liam Tharme for company to converse over Matchday 10 in the Premier League.


    Liverpool get back to winning ways against Villa but leaders Arsenal earn their 9th victory in a row and 7th clean sheet in a row. And a Haaland-led Man City produce their best against Bournemouth.


    At the bottom, Wolves part ways with Vitor Pereira after their winless start continues at Fulham, while it’s a first victory at West Ham for Nuno against Newcastle.


    And Chelsea overcome Spurs, with many asking questions about Thomas Frank’s approach and post-match interaction with his players.
