Can Dortmund damage PSG’s Champions League dreams?

Jimbo is joined in the studio by Charlie Eccleshare, JJ Bull and Adrian Clarke after a dramatic weekend on and off the pitch.

Strange goings on in the North London derby but Arsenal come out on top against Tottenham. Man City also get the job done against Nottingham Forest to retain the advantage in the title race.

Liverpool look out of that race after drawing at West Ham but it’s substitute Mo Salah’s touchline row with Jurgen Klopp that dominates the headlines. Is Salah right to be upset? And what can Salah expect from Arne Slot’s Liverpool next season?

It was a weekend where the Premier League said goodbye to Sheffield United and hello to Leicester. Hear why more teams need a bit of Everton in them.

Plus on the anniversary of that Keegan moment, whatever happened to mind games?

Arsenal’s stressful win at Spurs and Salah’s spat with Klopp

Tom Williams has written a fantastic new book all about French football from the 1980s to the present day, and he popped by the Totally studios to tell Iain Macintosh - and, by extension, you, dear listener - all about it. So plump up a cushion and brace yourself for tales of Marseilles-era Chris Waddle, Jean-Pierre Papin, Bernard Tapie, Basile Boli, Guy Roux, Claude Bez, PSG's multiple European failures and much, much more. Or beaucoup plus, as they say en français.

Va-Va Voom!  Tom Williams talks modern French football

An epic week sees Jimbo joined by the epic trio of Duncan Alexander, Rory Smith and Sasha Goryunov.

Jurgen Klopp suffers his first defeat at Goodison Park in his last visit there, a result that surely ends Liverpool’s title hopes. Have the Reds been too emotional? Did they lose it at Old Trafford? Will the fans accept Slot? And has this been a good season for Everton?

Arsenal’s title bid is still on track after their biggest win ever over Chelsea. It’s a great night for Havertz and what could be the crucial goal difference. Next up, the North London derby.

Elsewhere, we talk the numerous records that Sheffield United could break and the reinvention of Crystal Palace under Oliver Glasner.

Plus the first match-up of the 2024 Inter Totally Cup pits Sasha up against last year’s runner up Tom Williams.

Everton win Klopp’s last derby, as free-scoring Arsenal take on Tottenham

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo are all around the world after a weekend of drama across Europe.

Inter win their 20th Scudetto and they do it in the Milan derby. Hear why the Nerazurri are the best in Italy by a big margin and whether this will be Stefano Pioli’s last derby at Milan.

It was the weekend where the world learned that La Liga doesn’t have goal-line technology. Jude Bellingham scored another stoppage time winner in El Clásico. But could Xavi actually stay at Barcelona?

It’s been a great week for Luis Enrique at PSG. And Leverkusen stay unbeaten after yet another late comeback.

Plus what Julian Nagelsmann signing a new contract with Germany means for Bayern and Jurgen Klopp.
