    21/10/2026 | 43 mins.
    Désiré Doué and Lucas Hernández shine as PSG beat Barca 4-2, thanks to a 14 minute flurry of goals in the Parc des Princes.

    Jimbo is joined by Juliens Laurens, Duncan Alexander and Colin Millar to discuss Tuesday night's Champions League action.

    Liverpool overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Villarreal 4-3 at Anfield, thanks to two Mac Allister goals and two assists from player of the match, Rio Ngumoha.

    Bayern v Arsenal & PSG v Barca headline Champions League week

    20/10/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
    It’s another Euro Show and there are more blockbuster Champions League fixtures to look ahead to.

    Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Pol Ballus and Seb Stafford-Bloor as Barcelona travel to PSG and Bayern host Arsenal in Matchweek 3. Are they the four best teams in the competition?

    Barcelona have won 11 games in a row in all competition, with Lamine Yamal scoring another outrageous strike against Real Betis. There’s no Vinicius Jr for Real Madrid, but they still beat Sevilla 4-1. Why have Los Blancos released a statement attacking La Liga President Javier Tebas though?

    Bayern are back on top in Germany after a thumping 6-1 win over RB Leipzig. Harry Kane loves scoring against Arsenal, but he’ll have to do so without the help of suspended Michael Olise this time.

    In France, there’s a five way split at the summit after Monaco lose at Lorient. Are PSG starting to look inevitable?

    And in Italy, Lazio have made their best start to a Serie A season ever. Is it time to take Gennaro Gattuso’s side seriously and what does that 3-0 defeat of Juventus mean for Luciano Spalletti?

    Arsenal strike late at Forest…and are Brighton in the title race?

    18/10/2026 | 57 mins.
    Jimbo has Daniel Storey, JJ Bull and Tim Spiers for company after Matchday 7 of the Premier League.

    Champions Arsenal were made to wait at the City Ground but Noni Madueke’s late strike took the 3 points home for the Gunners as Forest continue to struggle in front of goal.

    Man United were ahead at Elland Road but get pegged back. It’s now just 2 wins from 10 matches in all competitions for Michael Carrick’s side.

    Brighton make it six wins in a row as they blow Crystal Palace away. Diego Gomez scores from the halfway line. Do the Seagulls have what it takes to go all the way?!

    Man City make it 7 wins out of 7 under Enzo Maresca as we continue to ponder what that’s worth.

    There are big wins for Chelsea, Liverpool and Villa on the road.

    Plus Fulham and Bournemouth get their first league wins under their new managers.

    Producers: Xavi Bird, Charlie Jones and Jake Liascos

    PSG outclass Man City ahead of big Premier League weekend

    15/10/2026 | 43 mins.
    After a record-breaking night in the Champions League, Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Jack Lang and Julien Laurens pore through all the goals and drama.

    The champions of Europe looked exactly that in the first half of the Etihad, racing into a 3-0 lead. Can anyone stop Luis Enrique’s side? And did Enzo Maresca get it wrong with his team selection?

    There are six goal hauls for Liverpool at LASK, where Bradley Barcola bags a hat-trick. And for Villa against Fenerbahce. Luis Miguel Echegaray drops in to discuss their biggest ever win under Emery.

    And Jose Mourinho returns to Rome with Real Madrid and takes all three points, despite being 3-1 down after 84 minutes.

    The Premier League brings intrigue this weekend with a must-win for Fulham, an unhappy hunting ground for Arsenal and a crunch clash between Leeds and Man United. How will the off-field storm surrounding the club affect Michael Carrick and his players?

    Producers: Charlie Jones and Jake Liascos

    RUNNING ORDER:
    00:00 The most goal-filled Champions League week ever
    05:58 Man City 2-4 PSG
    11:00 Aston Villa 6-0 Fenerbahce with Luis Miguel Echegaray

    14/10/2026 | 45 mins.
