Everton’s non-holistic approach, the Hertfordshire Globetrotters and a derby for the ages
On your brand new Totally Football Show, James Richardson is joined by Michael Cox, Football 365’s Daniel Storey and our very own Iain Macintosh for the hot take on all the goings-on in the games in the Premier League and around Europe. We start with Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, the main beneficiaries of which appear to be Arsenal, who have taken their customary spot of fourth in the table after beating Burnley in typically controversial circumstances. Elsewhere, we commend Huddersfield for making life hard for City and wonder if Nou Mou can beat Old Mou when Watford host United on Wednesday. Oh, and we wonder what it’s going to take for Everton to get out of this tailspin.All of that plus: Eagles v Seagulls; Rafa Honigstein on Dortmund’s spectacular derby with Schalke; and Montella axed by AC Milan.LIVE EVENT NEWS: • If you’re going to our London live show on Wednesday 29 November at the Indigo at the O2, please use #TFSLIVE for your questions.

Liverpool’s unwanted threesome and Darren Fletcher’s pearly whites
On the latest edition of The Totally Football Show, James Richardson is joined by his BT Goals Show buds James Horncastle and Julien Laurens and Michael ‘The Mixer’ Cox to review a cracking midweek in the Champions League and look ahead to the weekend’s big games in the Premier League and around Europe. Where better to start than Liverpool, who somehow contrived to draw 3-3 at Sevilla despite being three up after 30 minutes. How will they fare at home to Chelsea, fresh - or not - from their 6000 mile round trip to Qarabag? Elsewhere in the Premier League, David Moyes gets a chance to underwhelm West Ham’s home fans, Huddersfield look to shock Man City, and Saido Berahino faces the opponents against whom he last scored...two years ago. Plus: another milestone for Darren Fletcher; top of the table clashes in Ligue 1 and La Liga; and can Megson be the new Dyche?LIVE EVENT NEWS: • There’s less than a week to go until our London live show on Wednesday 29 November at the Indigo at the O2.

Pulis P45-ed, narrative busters and Dulwich Hamlet’s Toilets Opposite Stand
On your brand new Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo welcomes debutants Benji Lanyado and Ian Irving to the studio alongside TFS stalwart Iain Macintosh as we travel from the real Premier League to the Bostik Premier League and cover (almost) everything in-between.First up, the North London derby. Why has it taken until late-November for the Gunners to play like this - and why do Spurs continually come up short against the other title contenders away from home? Elsewhere, we marvel at the brilliance of Leroy Sane, Paul Pogba, Eden Hazard and Mo Salah as City, United, Chelsea and Liverpool all registered impressive wins. Next, we try to act surprised that West Ham’s David Moyes era got off to a shocker at Watford, and wonder where in the wide world of football Tony Pulis will pop up next.Plus: everything you ever wanted to know about sponsoring Dulwich Hamlet; Chris Coleman stands on the edge of a cliff at Sunderland; and close but still no points for Benevento.LIVE EVENT NEWS: • There’s just a week to go until our London live show on Wednesday 29 November at the Indigo at the O2, and not that many tickets left, either.

Fragrant encounters, 90s icons and fax machines
It’s an eclectic line-up for this episode of the Totally Football Show, with AC Jimbo joined in the pod by James Horncastle, Michael Cox, football finance expert Dr Tom Markham and former Monaco sporting director, Tor-Kristian Karlsen. We begin by wrapping up the events of the international break, with World Cup joy for Denmark, Sweden, Australia and Peru, tears for Ireland and Italy, and - perhaps most shockingly of all - signs of life from England in their two (goalless) glamour friendlies.After that post mortem, we turn our attention to the return of the Premier League, where the North London derby takes centre stage this weekend, hotly followed by the first meeting in a decade for José Mourinho and Rafa Benitez, and, just as excitingly, David Moyes’ debut in the West Ham dugout.Plus: a big Serie A preview; the World Crap; and a requiem for the fax machine.LIVE EVENT NEWS: • Just a fortnight to go until our London live show on Wednesday 29 November, and not that many tickets left, either.

End of the road for Northern Ireland, end of the nightmare for Blackpool, and why Silva is gold
AC Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, David Preece and Duncan Alexander to the pod for an international edition of the The Totally Football Show in which we lament the poor refereeing decision that ultimately cost Northern Ireland a place at Russia 2018 and wonder whether Italy will show up in their return leg against Sweden.
