    Man United in the relegation zone despite incredible 4-4 with Villa

    08/11/2026 | 1h 1 mins.
    Another seismic weekend in the Premier League with Matchday 10 delivering before the international break.

    Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Matt Davies-Adams into the studio to examine it all.

    Michael Carrick’s Red Devils slip into the relegation zone despite an incredible comeback to draw 4-4 with Villa. It’s still 1 win from 10 though. Could they still go down?

    Brighton beat 10-man Brentford to move 2nd in the table! Are they the team to really challenge champions Arsenal?

    Man City slip to 3rd after a 3rd straight defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest. Was Saturday the day Oliver Glasner and Liam Delap really arrived at the City Ground?

    Palace are last in the Premier League after losing at home to Liverpool. Does that mean au revoir Pierre Sage?

    Sunderland move off the bottom, inflicting another defeat on the road for Xabi Alonso’s Chelsea.

    And it’s 8 wins in a row for Bournemouth, with Evanilson scoring for the 5th league match in a row!

    Producers: Charlie Jones and Benji Brooks

    Liverpool lose again, Como score NINE + a big Premier League weekend

    05/11/2026 | 57 mins.
    Liverpool lose again, Como score NINE + a big Premier League weekend

    Jimbo is joined by Natalie Gedra, Julien Laurens and Dan Kilpatrick after another mad Champions League night.

    Liverpool are beaten in Istanbul by Fenerbahce’s Premier League all stars team. Was it the right idea for Andoni Iraola to tinker with his team?

    Man City and Arsenal are victorious on the road and so too are Como. Very victorious. A record 9-1 win at Lens which shows their class and shows that the French side may have appointed the wrong manager.

    The Premier League weekend brings us what could be Michael Carrick’s last game in charge of Man United (at home to Villa) and Pierre Sage’s last game in charge of Palace (at home to Liverpool).

    Plus a beauty from Bellingham, why Spurs are back and who was Number 1 when Everton last played Coventry?

    Cunha inspires epic United comeback as Barca ease past Villa

    04/11/2026 | 39 mins.
    Could this be the start of Michael Carrick’s redemption arc at Old Trafford?

    Jimbo is joined by Jack Lang, Liam Twomey and Charlie Eccleshare after a crazy night in the Champions League.

    It was getting mutinous at Man United with the hosts 2-0 down against Roma having missed a penalty. Enter Matheus Cunha to turn 0 points into 3.

    Next up for United, Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Unai Emery’s side are eventually swept aside by swashbuckling Barcelona on Tuesday.

    Holders PSG are 4-0 up at Villarreal after 16 minutes, eventually running out 6-0 winners. And Bayern impress with a 2-0 victory at Atletico.

    Elsewhere, it’s more misery for the Magpies as Everton win at Newcastle yet again.

    And in the Championship, West Ham replace Nuno with Scott Parker! Promotion beckons?

    Producers: Charlie Jones and Benji Brooks

    Milan win the derby, Dortmund stop Bayern and Champions League returns

    03/11/2026 | 1h 10 mins.
    The Euro Show is back to look ahead to another set of mouthwatering Champions League fixtures and discuss what’s been an enthralling weekend of action on the Continent.

    AC Milan continue their imperious recent record over city rivals Inter with a 3-1 win at San Siro. Christian Pulisic is yet again amongst the scorers against the Nerazzurri and that result means it’s Lazio who are now outright top of the pile in Serie A after 10 games. Gennaro Gattuso’s side and local rivals Roma, who go to Manchester United this week, are now the only two unbeaten teams in the league.

    Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane misses a penalty and Fabio Silva scores a late equaliser as Dortmund hold Bayern to a 2-2 draw in Germany. The Bavarians stay top on goal difference ahead of Die Schwarzgelben, whose former striker Niclas Fullkrug STILL can’t stop scoring for Werder Bremen.

    Jude Bellingham scores his 50th goal for Real Madrid as they beat Racing Santander 3-0, while Barcelona get back to winning ways with a 6-1 victory over Alaves. But the attention is on Atletico boss Diego Simeone, who has won a record-equalling 344th La Liga game as a manager. It’s just the small matter of Bayern Munich in the Champions League next up for his side.

    And in France, Achraf Hakimi scores a hattrick and creates two assists, all from right-back, as a much changed PSG smash Le Havre 5-1 to maintain top spot in Ligue 1.

    Producer: Xavi Bird

    Arsenal win at Liverpool, Brighton beat City + are Man United in a relegation battle?

    01/11/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
    Another pivotal weekend in the Premier League, examined by James Richardson, Julien Laurens, Colin Millar and Adrian Clarke.

    Arsenal secure their first victory at Anfield in 14 years after a colossal defensive effort. They go 3 points clear at the top of the table.

    Brighton continue to impress with their first ever win at Manchester City. They couldn’t could they?

    Manchester United are winless in 9 matches after self-destructing at Chelsea. Lisandro Martinez conceding a penalty and getting sent off. They couldn’t could they?

    It’s three wins in a row for Spurs with pressure building on Pierre Sage at Palace.

    It’s six wins in a row for Bournemouth under Marco Rose.

    Plus we dare to discuss whether Emery would leave Villa. And whether Oliver Glasner would leave Forest.

    Producers: Charlie Jones and Benji Brooks

    RUNNING ORDER:

    00:00 Brighton for the title or United going down?
    08:05 The results
