Will Man City v Arsenal live up to the hype?

Jimbo sits down with Duncan Alexander, Mark Carey and JJ Bull to discuss a bonkers night of Champions League football in Munich, and a not-so-bonkers evening in North London. Both Arsenal and Bayern are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Bavarians playing out a 4-3 thriller with Real Madrid, winning the tie 6-4 on aggregate to set up a semi-final against PSG. Will that tie be the real final? It’s not a thrill-fest for Arsenal, but a 0-0 draw with Sporting CP means they’re through 1-0 on aggregate. Get ready for Arteta v Simeone! The Gunners will play Atletico Madrid in two weeks. Next for them is Manchester City in the Premier League. Will Pep Guardiola’s side be licking their lips at this one? Will Roberto De Zerbi get his first Spurs win against his old club Brighton? Plus, there’s the small matter of Chelsea v Man Utd AND the first ever Merseyside derby at the Hill Dickinson between Everton and Liverpool.

Where are Liverpool going and where is Iraola going?

Jimbo is joined by Charlie Eccleshare, Colin Millar & Liam Tharme in the Totally studios to discuss Tuesday night's Champions League quarter-finals. No remontée at Anfield for Liverpool who lose 2-0 to PSG courtesy of two Dembele goals to make it 4-0 on aggregate and book their place in the semis. What next for Liverpool and Slot? In Madrid, Barca run Atleti close winning 2-1 on the night but losing 3-2 on aggregate meaning Simeone's side are through and will face Arsenal or Sporting in the last 4. Plus a historic win at Old Trafford for Leeds and where is Iraola off to? Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard.

Can Barca stage a remontada and will Bayern finish off Real?

Jimbo is once again alongside Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballus, James Horncastle and Tom Williams to discuss all things European football. Barcelona beat local rivals Espanyol 4-1 to go nine points clear at the top of La Liga after Real Madrid stumble to a 1-1 draw with Girona. How might all this affect this week’s Champions League Quarter Final second legs? There’s no game to impact PSG, as they’re given the weekend off in France to focus on beating Liverpool. No such let-off for Monaco, who are hammered 4-1 by PSG’s neighbours Paris FC. In Germany, Bayern set a single-season scoring record with an emphatic 5-0 win at St Pauli, and Union Berlin's Marie-Louise Eta becomes the first woman to manage a Bundesliga side. And in Italy, it’s goals galore between Como and Inter, with the league leaders winning 4-3 to stretch their lead over second placed Napoli to nine points. Plus, there’s a public clash between Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini. Produced by Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird.

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Matt Davies-Adams are in the studio after another pivotal Premier League weekend. Man City close the gap to 6 points in the title race, with a game in hand, after an impressive 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. Are Pep’s players motoring towards a domestic treble? City host leaders Arsenal next Sunday, who suffer a shock home defeat to Bournemouth, their 3rd loss in 4 matches. Are they buckling under the pressure of chasing a first title in 22 years? It’s a miserable weekend in North London with Spurs losing at Sunderland in Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge. Winless in 14, in the relegation zone, with Cristian Romero coming off injured in tears. West Ham move out of the bottom three with their 4-0 thumping of Wolves while Forest come from behind to claim a point against Villa. And the race for Europe is wide open with 4 points separating 6th from 12th in the table! How much pressure is Eddie Howe under at Newcastle?

Aaron Ramsey: Great player... future great manager?

Aaron Ramsey has retired and the show paid tribute... #football #ramsey #aaronramsey

Why were Liverpool so outclassed in Paris?

Jimbo welcomes Charlie Eccleshare, Mark Carey and Dan Kilpatrick into the studio to reflect on Wednesday night's Champions League quarter final action, as well as look ahead to the return of the Premier League. Paris Saint-Germain comfortably dispatch Liverpool 2-0 in the first leg in France, but will they rue their missed chances next week at Anfield? Or will it just be more of the same from Arne Slot’s side, who failed to muster a shot on target last night? Meanwhile in Barcelona, red card drama means it’s a first ever victory for Diego Simeone at the Camp Nou, and a first for Atletico Madrid in 20 years. Their delight is Barca’s fury as Hansi Flick lets rip on the officials. Plus the Premier League is back and Roberto De Zerbi’s first game at Spurs comes with it. Man City travel to Stamford Bridge while Arsenal host draw specialists Bournemouth.

Arsenal stunned by Saints as Liverpool get stuffed by City

Jimbo, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams reflect on a captivating FA Cup quarter-final weekend. It’s back-to-back defeats for Arsenal, overcome by a sensational Southampton from the Championship on Saturday. With their trophy hopes halved in the last two matches, is this the start of a dramatic collapse for the Gunners? Can the same question be asked of Liverpool, who are thrashed 4-0 by Man City, with Erling Haaland taking home the match ball? The pressure piling on Arne Slot ahead of the Reds’ trip to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday. West Ham stage an incredible comeback against Leeds but it’s Daniel Farke’s side who progress on penalties to a first FA Cup semi since 1987. Where they will meet Chelsea, who pummel Port Vale 7-0 at Stamford Bridge. It’s also a big weekend in the EFL with Millwall moving into the automatic promotion places in the Championship.

Totally Extra: Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle, 30 years on

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and George Caulkin to open up the Totally Extra almanac to exactly 30 years ago, on the Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle page. The Magpies were the great entertainers with the exuberant Kevin Keegan at the helm and much of the country pulling for them to take the title. Their title challengers Man Utd had famously been told by Alan Hansen they couldn't win anything with kids. With Fergie's fledglings finding form, a wobbling Newcastle went to Anfield and vowed to play the only way they knew how, to attack; the likes of Beardsley, Ginola, Asprilla and Ferdinand up against Fowler, Collymore, Barnes and McManaman. What ensued is still for many the greatest ever Premier League game. What made it so special? And how different might have football been if Newcastle had won it in 1996? Plus what else happened this week in football history and a brain-teasing quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones, Lucy Oliva & Jesse Howard.

Jimbo is back in the chair and joined by Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke, Natalie Gedra, with special guest Frida Fagerlund as the final six teams to play at this year’s World Cup are confirmed. It’s disaster yet again for Italy after penalty heartbreak in Bosnia & Herzegovina. The Azzurri become the first ever former winners to miss three World Cups in a row. Where do they go from here? There’s shootout joy for Czech Republic though who beat Denmark, Sweden see off Poland and Turkey are heading to the World Cup for the first time in 24 years after winning in Kosovo. DR Congo and Iraq are also through to the group stages, and there’s another disappointing performance from England at Wembley.

Totally Extra: When Leicester were kings of England

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?

Italy’s World Cup dream still alive but it’s Home Nations heartbreak

Jimbo has a stellar cast of James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Colin Millar and Matt Davies-Adams to react to the World Cup play-off semi-finals. It’s a heartbreaking night for the home nations with Wales and the Republic of Ireland eliminated on penalties. And a brave young Northern Ireland side are beaten 2-0 in Bergamo by Italy.
