This week on show no.2 of your new Saturday morning helping of Totally, Jimbo opens the footballing almanac on Jurgen Klinsmann's page.The German striker made his Premier League debut for Spurs on this week in 1994, and Jimbo gets the band back together - Raphael Honigstein, Juliens Laurens and James Horncastle - to remember the first Jurgen of English football.Famed for his blond locks and his spectacular goals but most memorably on these shores, for his diving for Germany and the subsequent celebration for Spurs. He won the World Cup and the Euros with Germany and had successful spells in Italy and France as well as in his motherland and the Premier League.Produced by Jesse Howard and Charlie Jones.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: Welcome to Totally Extra - Rapha's fish, Jimbo's Omakase and James's curry with Tonali (00.40)• PART 2: This week in football - Tony Yeboah's volley, the first episode of Match Of The Day and the first ever sub (10.55)• PART 3: Diving into Jurgen Klinsmann's incredible footballing career (14.00)• PART 4: A look at Klinsmann's less successful time as a coach (46.05) Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo's got Natalie Gedra, Jay Harris and Dom Fifield along for the ride as we look ahead to Matchday 2 in the Premier League - and discuss some rather hefty transfer news that might have caught your eye...That's right - it looks like Tottenham have been gazumped to the signing of Eberechi Eze by their old friends Arsenal... yikes! So does this mean that the Gunners really do have all the tools to win the Premier League? And where do Thomas Frank's Spurs turn now with a squad that looks ill-equipped to deal with the pressures of a busy schedule? There's tasty ties everywhere you look this Bank Holiday weekend - no more so than Monday night at St James' Park as Newcastle host Liverpool. What's the latest with Alexander Isak after Tuesday night's statement tête-à-tête?Elsewhere - there's more beef to be had between Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest at Selhurst. Is Graham Potter already in big trouble against former side Chelsea on Friday night? And what sort of Tottenham will turn up at Manchester City - with Pep's side having won just 1 of their last 4 against the visitors at the Etihad?!All that plus big waterslides, calamitous defending at Ibrox and a potentially sticky start to life at Hill Dickinson Stadium for the Toffees. Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo’s got the Euro gang back together as Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford-Bloor and James Horncastle return for a new season of hijinx and drama across the continent. We begin in France, where underdogs PSG got their title defence underway with a 1-0 win away at Nantes on Sunday night. But is there anyone who can close the 19-point gap? And are Marseille already in self-destruct mode? The Liga season is well and truly underway, with holders Barcelona getting their campaign off to a winning start against the nine men of Mallorca. Real don’t play until Tuesday night - but how equipped are Xavi Alonso’s new-look side to topple Barca? Over in Italy, we’re in store for yet another fascinating title race. The news that Romelu Lukaku is set to miss the first three months of the season with a muscle strain could open the door for a challenger to Napoli’s crown. So will it be a resurgent Milan or perhaps Gasperini’s Roma that put up the greatest fight? And in Germany, Harry Kane’s won another trophy! Bayern take home the Supercup. While there are still some areas of concern for Vincent Kompany’s side - have the teams around them done enough over the summer to produce a title race? Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Welcome back!

Welcome to your Saturday morning dose of Totally!This is a space where we let our figurative hair down and free ourselves from the relentless merry-go-round of this season.

And we'll be taking a look back through the annuls into the week in football that was through the years... Today we're taking a trip down memory lane and charting the remarkable life and career of Mario Balotelli - who happened to celebrate his 35th birthday on the 12th of August.

Despite defeat - are there reasons to be positive for Spurs fans?Back to domestic matters, and there's plenty of intrigue around the return of Sunderland after an eight-year spell out of the big time. The Athletic's football finance writer and Mackem Chris Weatherspoon joins us to consider their chances of staying up - before we run the rule over how fellow promoted sides Leeds and Burnley could fare after breaking the 100-point barrier in the Championship last season.Elsewhere - surely Manchester United can't be as bad as they were last season? Laurie Whitwell stops by to talk us through the pros and cons of their pre-season - and hopes for this campaign with the pressure on Ruben Amorim to turn their fortunes around.Will Everton be interesting this season with Jack Grealish added to the mix? Are Brighton the side most likely to upset the established 'big six' this time round? What kind of season will Forest have after the unexpected highs of last season?

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns.For the last time this summer, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1995/96 season, when Keegan's entertainers nearly went all the way.Newcastle were the neutrals' favourites and Man United were in transition with their kids. But a 12 point lead in January evaporated for the Magpies via Cantona, a legendary Keegan outburst and the greatest game in Premier League history.Elsewhere, English clubs were terrible in Europe, Alan Hansen was embarrassed by the Class of 92 and Man City were relegated due to a lack of technology.Produced by Charlie Jones.RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1a: Blackburn stink up the joint (04.00)• PART 1b: Man City relegated (06.30) • PART 1c: Keegan's Newcastle examined (08.00)• PART 1d: Man United usher in the Class of 92 (13.00)• PART 2a: Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle (19.00)• PART 2b: Keegan and Big Ron's outbursts (22.00)• PART 2c: United's grey kit (26.00)• PART 2d: Did Newcastle bottle it?
