Reacting to a historic day for English football, Jimbo is joined by Raphael Honigstein, Charlotte Harpur, Daniel Storey and Nick Miller.

Daniel has his say on the great Jesse Lingard debate while we also ask whether it reflects badly on Leicester that they?re the only Premier League team yet to make a summer signing.

The Athletic?s Charlotte Harpur gives us the lowdown from Brighton as England come from behind against Spain and gut it out to reach the last 4 of Euro 2022. Can they break their semi-final hoodoo? Unhappy Hammer Benji gets hot under the collar about Jesse Lingard and his potential move to Forest ahead of West Ham, as we also discuss who?s had the strongest transfer window so far. Despite the vuvuzelas, the Jabulani and the dirtiest final of all time, we attempt to show some love to the 2010 World Cup. And Carl and Marcus Rashford have another book out today.

Born with that scream inside me

Jimbo?s back and welcomes James Horncastle, Matt Davies-Adams and Sasha Goryunov into a baking hot pod. Euro 2022 enters the quarter-final stage with England taking on Spain at the Amex on Wednesday. Are the Spanish too twee to pose the Lionesses any big problems? In the transfer market, Chelsea bring in gentle giant and model pro Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli. But do they risk losing more academy prospects in the process? Laurie Whitwell joins us from Australia where Erik ten Hag?s Man United keep winning and they?ve just added leftie Lisandro Martinez.

Oh No Zinedine

Matt Davies-Adams welcomes Lynsey Hooper, Michael Cox and Tom Williams to the latest Totally Football Show. Lynsey gives us an on the ground perspective of England?s form and thought processes after the demolition of Norway 8-0 on Monday night. Is this the high point or is the best yet to come for the Lionesses? There?s also a look ahead to the rest of the week's Euro fixtures as the group stages draw to a close.  In Transfer Talk, we wonder why Wolves haven?t signed anyone beyond the most expensive Irish footballer ever (no not Robbie Keane) in Nathan Collins. We also consider if thirty million pounds is too much for Morgan Gibbs-White, and whether Everton are making the same mistakes yet again in the transfer market. On the 14th July in 2006 the punishments in the Calciopoli scandal were doled out, at exactly the same time as Italy were on the way to winning the World Cup! We reflect on that tournament in Germany including compelling commentary, excellent ads and? yes we talk about the headbutt.

Reasonably interesting guy

The domestic season comes to a close and rounding up all the drama, it?s Matt Davies-Adams, Michael Cox, Sasha Goryunov and Daniel Storey. Real Madrid win a 14th European Cup but that story is secondary to the treatment of Liverpool fans prior to the final at the Stade De France. Sasha and Daniel relay their own personal experiences of an uncomfortable night in Paris. On the pitch, we praise Ancelotti, Courtois and reflect on where Liverpool go from here, particularly as the frontline may need bolstering with Sadio Mane seemingly on the way out. Forest are promoted to the Premier League after 23 years away as Huddersfield feel aggrieved with decisions not going their way. But is the gap between the 17 Premier League teams and the teams coming up bigger than ever?

The neuro eleven

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Dom Fifield and Sasha Goryunov after Liverpool hoover up yet more silverware. It?s another shootout victory for Liverpool in the FA Cup final as their squad players step up again and Chelsea?s season turns into an anti-climax. Liverpool?s title hopes are given a boost by the brilliant Bowen who will surely be making his England debut very soon, as Mahrez misses the chance to put Man City on the verge of the title. Leeds are the big winners at the bottom after their last-gasp point against Brighton. Are Everton playing too many games like they?re cup finals and is too much hoopla before matches causing them to lose control?

How do you slow down a Ferrari?

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Alvaro Romeo and Julien Laurens cast their eye over the continent ahead of the Champions League quarter-finals.
