Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Rob Tanner and Jordan Halford to open up the Totally Extra Almanac in 2016 and celebrate Leicester's historic Premier League title, 10 years on. From the sacking of Pearson and battling relegation to Richard III, Ranieri, pizzas and Bocelli - the Leicester title story had it all. Underpinning Leicester's success was excellent investment with Vardy, Mahrez and Kante costing less than 8 million pounds and the squad barely getting injuries, meaning Ranieri could play the same eleven in most games. Even still, the odds were stacked against them with the bookies making them 5000-1 before the season started. So just how did they do it? And could anyone ever do it again? Plus 'On This Day' and Duncan's quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1a: Duncan’s quiz question (3.15) • PART 1b: The Totally Extra Almanac (4.20) • PART 2a: What came before: relegation scrap + King Richard III (08.47) • PART 2b: The sextape, sackings + Ranieri appointment (14.10) • PART 3: The famous 15-16 season (28.15) • PART 4a: How the title was won + Battle of the Bridge (41.50) • PART 4b: What happened next?

Mansfield Town 2-2 Barnsley League One - Saturday 14th March Two points dropped from the jaws of victory. That's the brutal reality of watching a 2-0 lead evaporate in spectacular fashion, with Stephen McLaughlin's 94th-minute equaliser completing Mansfield's remarkable comeback at the One Call Stadium. We controlled this game for the best part of 75 minutes, played some genuinely decent football, and still managed to hand over a point when it mattered most. McGoldrick strikes from distance The opening exchanges suggested we'd come to do business. Where recent performances have lacked conviction, there was genuine intent from the first whistle. McGoldrick, operating with that veteran's understanding of space and timing, found himself 22 yards out after 19 minutes and simply picked his spot. The finish was trademark stuff – low, precise, and giving Roberts no chance whatsoever. Bradshaw's layoff created the opportunity, but this was all about McGoldrick's technique. The kind of strike that makes you remember why experience matters in this division. For a brief moment, it felt like we might actually make this look comfortable. Banks doubles the advantage The second half started perfectly. Banks, who'd been lively throughout, collected Kelly's pass and zipped a shot past Roberts within four minutes of the restart. Two-nil away from home in League One – we've all been here before, but rarely does it feel this controlled. The Tykes were moving the ball with purpose, creating space where none existed moments before. Banks' finish had genuine quality about it, the sort of composed strike that suggests a player in form. At that moment, Mansfield looked like a team struggling to find any rhythm against our defensive shape. Penalty changes everything Football has this cruel habit of punishing complacency (naturally). Nathan Moriah-Welsh went down in the box on 57 minutes, the referee pointed to the spot, and suddenly our comfortable afternoon turned into something altogether more familiar – anxious defending and increasingly desperate clearances. Akins made no mistake from twelve yards. Clinical stuff from the veteran striker, but the real damage was psychological. Mansfield smelled blood, we started sitting deeper, and what had been controlled possession became frantic defending. The momentum shift was immediate and obvious. Late drama punishes defensive lapses The final half-hour became an exercise in game management that we clearly haven't mastered. Mansfield threw everything forward, our backline dropped deeper with each attack, and the inevitable felt increasingly possible with every long throw and cross whipped into our box. McLaughlin's equaliser arrived in the fourth minute of added time, a crisp finish from twelve yards after Elliott Hewitt's long throw caused the usual chaos. The kind of goal that makes you question why we struggle so consistently to see games out when ahead. Make no mistake – this was two points dropped rather than one gained. We created the better chances, controlled the tempo for long periods, and still found a way to let Mansfield back into a contest they had no right winning. The statistics tell part of the story – 57% possession, more shots on target – but the real narrative is about mental strength when protecting leads. Hourihane will know his team created enough to win this comfortably. McGoldrick and Banks provided genuine quality in the final third, while our midfield controlled proceedings for significant periods. But defensive organisation in the final twenty minutes remains a glaring weakness, one that's costing us points we simply cannot afford to drop. The performance had genuine positives – our attacking play showed creativity and purpose that's been missing in recent weeks. But championship-challenging teams don't surrender two-goal leads to sides scrapping near the bottom of the table. Simple as that. Team Line-ups: Mansfield Town (3-4-1-2): Liam Roberts, Farrend Blake-Tracy, Adedeji Oshilaja, Kieran Knoyle, Stephen McLaughlin, George Abbott, Louis Reed, Lucas Akins, Andy Lewis, Victor Adeboyejo, Ryan Oates Subs: Jordan Bowery, Will Evans, John Gardner, Ryan Hendry, Elliott Hewitt, Ola Irow, Nathan Moriah-Welsh Goals: Lucas Akins (57'), Stephen McLaughlin (90+4') Barnsley (4-2-3-1): Owen Goodman, Jack Shepherd, Eron O'Connell, Mael de Gevigney, Corey O'Keeffe, Vimal Yoganathan, Luca Connell, Scott Banks, David McGoldrick, Patrick Kelly, Tom Bradshaw Subs: Jonah Bland, Reyes Cleary, Kieren Flavell, Cory Lennon, Nathan Ogbeta, Adam Phillips, Tyrell Watson Goals: David McGoldrick (19'), Scott Banks (49') Yellow Cards: Mael de Gevigney (7'), Corey O'Keeffe (27'), Patrick Kelly (68') Match Stats: Statistic Mansfield Town Barnsley Possession 57.1% 42.9% Shots 18 13 Shots on target 4 4 Goalkeeper saves 2 2 Fouls committed 5 15 Corners 3 5 Aerial duels won 28 21 Final Whistle The performance had genuine positives – our attacking play showed creativity and purpose that's been missing in recent weeks. McGoldrick's finish was pure class, Banks looked sharp throughout, and for long periods we controlled this match like a team that belongs in the top half. But championship-challenging teams don't surrender two-goal leads to sides scrapping near the bottom of the table. Simple as that. Hourihane will know his players created enough to win this comfortably. The statistics back that up – more possession, equal shots on target, and two genuinely well-taken goals that should have been enough for three points on the road. But our defensive organisation in the final twenty minutes remains a glaring weakness, one that's costing us points we simply cannot afford to drop if we're serious about those play-off ambitions. Here's the thing though – we're now closer to the relegation zone than the top six, and performances like this explain exactly why. Two points dropped from the jaws of victory, another lead surrendered when it mattered most. The quality exists in this squad, but the mentality to close out games remains frustratingly absent. Same drama, different venue.

In Round 2 of the Hana Bank K League 1 season, unbeaten Gwangju FC take on yet-to-win Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, unbeaten Bucheon FC 1995 host a returning-to-action Ulsan HD, yet-to-win but still unbeaten Daejeon Hana Citizen entertain Gimcheon Sangmu, while Pohang Steelers welcome Incheon United to the Steel Yard for their home opener in what will be seen as the pick of the action. Match of the Round: Unbeaten Start vs. Yet to Win Gwangju FC vs. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors In Round 3, unbeaten Gwangju FC will face Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, who are still looking for their first win of the season. In the last five meetings between the two teams, though, Jeonbuk hold the advantage with two wins, two draws, and one loss. Home side Gwangju currently have a record of one win and one draw. In Round 1 against Jeju SK, they failed to secure victory despite having a man advantage after Italo's red card. However, in Round 2 against Incheon United, they found the back of the net three times, first through Choi Kyung-rok, followed by and a brace from Shin Chang-mu. Thanks to a penalty save by goalkeeper Kim Kyeong-min just before the final whistle and deep into added time, Gwangju secured a 3–2 win. Shin Chang-mu has been particularly impressive this season, recording two goals and five key passes and playing a central role in the team’s attack under new head coach Lee Jung-kyu. Gwangju will be aiming to maintain their early momentum, despite hosting last season's champions. Jeonbuk, on the other hand, have had a somewhat sluggish start to the season. They lost 3-2 at home to Bucheon FC 1995 in Round 1 and drew 1-1 with Gimcheon Sangmu in Round 2, meaning they are still searching for their first win of the season. Having conceded goals in both matches, defensive stability seems to be an issue following key departures from the back line. On a positive note, Lee Dong-jun has scored two goals this season, starting the new season as he ended the last. Midfielder Maeng Seong-ung has also been active on both ends of the pitch, recording a 93.9% pass success rate and 13 successful tackles. Jeonbuk will be looking to turn their early-season form around by claiming their first victory of the season. Both teams began the new season under new head coaches, making this the first meeting between Gwangju’s Lee Jung-kyu and Jeonbuk’s Chung Jung-yong. Watch live with English commentary: here Team of the Round: Rebellious Bucheon Bucheon FC 1995 drew 1–1 with Daejeon Hana Citizen in Round 2. After defeating defending champions Jeonbuk 3-2 on their K League 1 bow, they followed it up with apoint against last season’s runners-up Daejeon. Bucheon have been steadily collecting points with impressive performances early in their first season after promotion. The player leading Bucheon’s rise is Jefferson Galego. After registering two goals and one assist in the opening match, Galego also converted a penalty against Daejeon, bringing his tally to three goals and one assist in just two games. Last season, he scored six and assisted four in 28 K League 2 matches, including the promotion playoffs. This season in K League 1, he has shown even sharper attacking ability, raising expectations for a career-best year. Defensively, veteran Baek Dong-gyu anchors the back line, forming a compact defensive block with Hong Sung-wook and Patrick William, demonstrating solid organization. Veteran midfielder Yoon Bit-garam, who joined Bucheon this season, has also quickly integrated into the team and is contributing both offensively and defensively. With a strong team structure early in the season, Bucheon are determined to continue their unbeaten run in this round as well. This weekend they host Ulsan HD. Watch live with English commentary: here Player of the Round: Debut Goal Tranziska Pohang Steelers earned a point with a 1-1 draw against Gimcheon in the season opener. In that match, Jakob Tranziska stood out by scoring on his K League debut, signaling a promising season ahead. Tranziska is a forward standing at 189 cm tall, and despite being only 23 years old, he has experience of playing several European leagues, including Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic, before joining Pohang this season. Coming on as a substitute in the second half against Gimcheon, Tranziska energized Pohang's attack with his work rate and link-up play, and scored a point-securing equalizer in the 55th minute. Tranziska is a versatile attacker capable of playing both as a central striker and as a winger. With Jorge Teixeira sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Tranziska’s quick adaptation has become a major boost for manager Park Tae-ha. Strong in duels and with bold dribbling, Tranziska will be one to watch this weekend.
