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. Ten goals they scored between them, conceding none. The six London clubs, in contrast, didn’t rustle the net once. The question is, who would you rather watch: City or United?Also on today’s agenda: geopolitics, more ufology, and ‘Arry binned by Birmingham.PARISH NOTICES:• join us for the first edition of our new podcast, The Totally Football League Show: http://apple.co/2xgh511• we’re delighted to announce our first live show - Totally Football: Live is headed to Birmingham’s Glee club on Wednesday 8 November.

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 attention to the Premier League. This weekend sees Arsenal head to Chelsea, Man United take on Everton, and there’s also a rousing return to action for Mr Roy as his makes his bow as Crystal Palace’s latest saviour with the Eagles at home to Southampton.All of this, plus back-shaving, ufology and exciting news for the gloomy folks of the West Midlands.PARISH NOTICES:• we’re delighted to announce our first live show - Totally Football: Live is headed to Birmingham’s Glee club on Wednesday 8 November.

On today’s super soaraway Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo is joined by Kelly Cates, Iain Macintosh and Rafa Honigstein to assess a weekend of goals, controversial red cards and, ultimately, panic as Crystal Palace dispensed with the services of Frank De Boer after all of 77 days.We kick off of course by discussing Man City’s 5-0 thrashing of Liverpool, while elsewhere in our Premier League review there’s praise for Stoke, Brighton and even - shock horror - Arsenal.It’s a Champions League week so we catch up with Filippo Maria Ricci about the respective travails of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Sevilla, and we also look ahead to PSG’s trip to Celtic Park. Finally, we catch up with all the action in the EFL, with a focus in particular on Leeds. And if you like that sort of thing, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can now subscribe to our new Totally Football League Show, which kicks off next week.PARISH NOTICES:• subscribe to our new podcast, The Totally Football League Show: http://apple.co/2xgh511• send us a tweet: @thetotallyshow• find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetotallyfootballshow/• get your shave on with our friends Cornerstone, who are giving you £10 off your first order: https://www.cornerstone.co.uk/totally• come and see Jimbo and Producer Ben at the Dublin Podcast Festival at the end of September: http://bit.ly/2wqHfvC Hosted on Acast.

On your brand new Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo, Michael Cox, James Horncastle and David Preece give a Dele Alli-like middle finger to the international break and give a proper fist bump to the Premier League.Liverpool head to Man City in the biggest clash of the weekend while there’s a six-pointer at the bottom as Arsenal host Bournemouth. Frank De Boer and Slaven Bilic though could find themselves in a real pickle if the can’t results against Burnley and Huddersfield.Amongst our other talking points: what life is really like for a third-choice keeper, Chile running out of steam and footballing spoonerisms.PARISH NOTICES:• send us a tweet: @thetotallyshow• rate and review us on iTunes: http://apple.co/2w51wJd • we’re on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetotallyfootballshow/• check out our website: http://www.thetotallyfootballshow.com • get your shave on with our friends Cornerstone, who are giving you £10 off your first order: https://www.cornerstone.co.uk/totally• Jimbo and Producer Ben are both doing events at the Dublin Podcast Festival at the end of September: http://bit.ly/2wqHfvC Hosted on Acast.
