• Totally Gold 92/93: The Premier League begins
    Aug 6 2025

    Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns.


    Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1992/93 season - the dawn of the Premier League. A whole new ball game as Sky Sports called it.


    Man United ended their 26 year wait for the title, in a campaign transformed by Cantona. Could English football have taken a different tactical trajectory if high-flying Norwich had won the Premier League?


    Elsewhere, there was Oldham's incredible escape, Brian Clough's demise and big-name clubs being completely bamboozled by the new back pass rule.


    Produced by Charlie Jones.

    • PART 1a: Sky and the Premier League launch (02.00)

  • Totally Gold Champions League 01/02: Zidane downs Leverkusen in Glasgow
    Aug 3 2025

    Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns.


    Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Alvaro Romeo on the 2001/02 Champions League season, and that Zidane goal in Glasgow. Was it that good?


    Perhaps the greatest goal in Champions League final history saw the Spanish overcome upstart German opposition at Hampden. Little did Real Madrid know that this would be their last Champions League title for 12 years. And little did we know that Leverkusen wouldn't be Neverkusen forever.


    Elsewhere, it was a maiden Champions League campaign for Celtic and Liverpool, and the dawn of a second group stage.


    Plus Beckham's metatarsal, Las Ketchup and the Proclaimers.


    Produced by Charlie Jones.

    • PART 1a: Leverkusen and Real Madrid taking different paths (02.00)

  • Totally Gold Champions League 94/95: Van Gaal's Ajax go all the way
    Jul 29 2025

    Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns.


    Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein and Julien Laurens on the 1994/95 Champions League season, when invincible Ajax shocked the world.


    In perhaps the peak of Louis van Gaal's long managerial career, this young crop of mostly homegrown talent went unbeaten in the Eredivisie and the Champions League to take home the top prize. Time to give Jari Litmanen some much overdue love.


    Elsewhere, it was a campaign of Weah's PSG reaching the semi-finals, Die Hard henchmen and Gary Walsh being embarrassed by Barcelona.


    Produced by Charlie Jones.

    • PART 1a: IFK Gothenburg catch the eye (02.00)

  • England are European champions again. Plus Gibbs-White stays, Isak goes?
    Jul 28 2025

    Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Natalie Gedra, Matt Davies-Adams and Charlotte Harpur reflect on the incredible Lionesses retaining the European Championship.


    With their backs against the wall for pretty much the whole tournament, Sarina’s side eventually overcome world champions Spain on penalties. We pay tribute to Kelly, Bronze and co and ponder what the legacy of yet more success will be for England.


    Jubilation in Nottingham too where Morgan Gibbs-White, on his way to Spurs just a couple of weeks ago, signs a new contract at the City Ground. Plus Alexander Isak to Liverpool - the stuff of madmen’s dreams?


    Elsewhere, reports indicate that West Ham's Lucas Paqueta might not face a lifetime ban for spot-fixing.


    Plus when City signed Aguero, when Inter signed Keane, what’s going on at the Copa América Femenina and what to look out for in the EFL?


    Produced by Charlie Jones.

  • England and Spain meet in yet another final + the latest on Ekitike, Isak & Gyökeres
    Jul 24 2025

    Jimbo's got Michael Cox, Matt Davies-Adams and Tom Williams alongside him to look back on two incredibly dramatic semi-final clashes at Euro 2025.


    It's England and Spain who progress to Sunday's final in Basel after a double dose of extra time - with the Lionesses relying on super-subs Michelle Agyemang & Chloe Kelly yet again to turn things around against Italy, while for the world champions it was the best player in the world Aitana Bonmatí who produced a moment of magic in their 1-0 victory over Germany.


    We've got the latest transfer news - with Ekitike officially in at Liverpool, Gyökeres all but officially in at Arsenal - and Alexander Isak NOT joining up with Newcastle on their pre-season tour of east Asia due to injury...


    Elsewhere, we mark the 25th anniversary of surely the most controversial transfer in history - when Luís Figo swapped Barcelona for Real Madrid, on this day back in the year 2000.


    And it’s the second Inter Totally semi-final with Julien Laurens and Tom Williams duking it out for a place in the final...


    Produced by Lucy Oliva.


    RUNNING ORDER:

    • PART 1: Euro SF chaos - England 2-1 Italy (AET) & Germany 0-1 Spain (AET) (02.45)

    • PART 2a: On This Day - Figo does the unthinkable and swaps Barca for Real (23.25)

    • PART 2b: Transfer latest - Ekitike, Gyökeres, Isak and questionable video (26.15)

    • PART 3: Inter Totally Cup - Tom Williams v Julien Laurens (41.30)

  • Totally Gold 96/97: Dortmund win the last ever 'Champions' League
    Jul 22 2025

    Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League and Champions League campaigns.


    Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein and Duncan Alexander on the 1996/97 Champions League season, the last one with only champions in it


    It was also the last time that Juventus were defending champions and the only time Borussia Dortmund went all the way and won the trophy in Munich. It was a good year to be a German football fan.


    Auxerre were French champions, Milinko Pantic was top scorer and Roy Hodgson made Javier Zanetti lose his cool. It was a different era.


    Produced by Charlie Jones.


    RUNNING ORDER:

    • PART 1a: Guy Roux's Auxerre (02.30)

    • PART 1b: Top scorer Milinko Pantic (04.45)

    • PART 1c: Man United struggle but reach the semis (06.00)

    • PART 1d: Milan's worst ever Champions League performance (08.00)

    • PART 2a: Dortmund going all the way to meet Juventus in the final (12.00)

    • PART 2b: Schalke beat Hodgson's Inter in the UEFA Cup (31.00)

    Jimbo welcomes Carl Anka, Charlie Eccleshare, Adrian Clarke and Megan Feringa into the pod with big headlines being made on and off the pitch.


    The heroics of Ann-Katrin Berger somehow send Germany through to a Euro 2025 semi-final with Spain. Will it be England awaiting in the final with Sarina’s side big favourites ahead of their semi with Italy?


    Marcus Rashford is Barcelona-bound as the Catalan club agree to take him and his wages for next season. What now for the rest of the bomb squad at Man United? And how do you pronounce Mbeumo?


    Liverpool are closing in on the signing of Hugo Ekitike and are maybe still interested in Alexander Isak. Plus Noni Madueke is an Arsenal player and Evan Ferguson is off to Rome.


    Plus we look back at David Platt’s move to Serie A and forward to the present-day race for the Scudetto.


    Produced by Charlie Jones.
