The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Grumbles, beaches and goals - is Romário Brasil's greatest ever player?

Jimbo is joined by Natalie Gedra, Jack Lang and Duncan Alexander to celebrate the unforgettable life and career of Baixinho (the little one).

From Barca to Vasco via PSV, Romário scored and won things everywhere he went, tormenting defences with his turn of pace and dexterous finishing.

Famed for scoring the goals that helped Brazil win the World Cup in USA 94, but also for the endless arguments and fallouts with coaches and teammates alike. But did he really score 1000 goals?

Plus Duncan's Brasilian themed quiz question.

Produced by Jesse Howard, Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird.

The top four all face each other in a mouthwatering Matchday 9 in the Premier League.

Jimbo, Tom Williams, Liam Twomey and a debuting Jay Bothroyd are in the studio to comb through all the action.

Champions Arsenal go to Liverpool in Sunday’s only fixture. The Gunners were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Fleetwood on Tuesday with Max Dowman sent off. But did the 16-year-old prodigy do the right thing?

Michael Carrick is surprisingly still the manager of Manchester United. They travel to Stamford Bridge where Xabi Alonso has more questions to answer after Chelsea’s League Cup exit at Anfield.

Man City come from behind twice to edge past Brighton via a shootout. Those two teams will do it all again on Saturday. Can the Seagulls claim their first ever win at City?

Plus we show some love for Bournemouth who make it 5 wins in a row. And Nicolas Jackson. Was he done dirty by Chelsea?

It’s a Ballon d’Or special edition of the Totally European Show, with Seb Stafford-Bloor, Tom Williams and Pol Ballus all joining James Richardson live to discuss King Harry taking football's biggest individual crown.

On the pitch, Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid become the first team to beat Barcelona in La Liga this season, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice in a 2-1 win. That leaves Atletico Madrid just two points off the leaders.

In Germany, Bayern win 3-1 at Freiburg without Vincent Kompany on the touchline as he recovers in hospital after collapsing during training. Niclas Fullkrug can’t stop scoring for Werder Bremen, while in Italy there are still four teams unbeaten after eight games for the first time ever.

And in Ligue 1, protests in Paris affect PSG’s top of the table clash with Lyon.

Old Trafford chants his name but it could be farewell to Michael Carrick at Man United?

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Matt Davies-Adams are in the studio to review all the action from Matchday 8.

The Cherries run out 3-0 winners as United’s winless run extends to 8 matches. All that with Bruno Fernandes an unused sub.

Brighton hit the skids after an Araujo-powered Liverpool reign supreme at Anfield.

Spurs win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday - a once in a generation event - as Cole Palmer also sees red. Was this the day things finally clicked for De Zerbi at Tottenham?

And Arsenal go level at the top as Man City suffer their first defeat of the season. It’s at Aston Villa who are in red-hot form. As is Nicolas Jackson.

Another enthralling night of Champions League action and a big Premier League weekend to come.

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Benji Lanyado into the studio break it all down.

The nadir of Michael Carrick’s reign at Manchester United comes in Como. A chastening 4-1 defeat with skipper Bruno Fernandes seeming to question the coach’s tactics. Is there any way back for Carrick at Old Trafford?

Two of the favourites battle it out as Bayern and Arsenal contest a 2-2 draw. On a night where Ballon d’Or favourite Harry Kane showed he could do absolutely everything.

Villa make it 3 wins out of 3 in the Champions League. Next up for them, leaders Man City at Villa Park this Saturday, a fixture that the hosts usually win…

Tottenham are forced to confront their terrible record at Stamford Bridge and it’s the same story for Everton at Arsenal.

Plus what happened to home advantage and what will become of the nepo babies at Premier League clubs?
