James Richardson and Team Totally are here three times a week with all the football news you need to know - and plenty that you don’t. On Monday, we review all the weekend’s action. On Tuesday, it’s the Euro crew with James Horncastle and Raphael Honigstein looking at matters across the continent. And on Thursday, Duncan Alexander brings the silliness and numbers.

Calcio is back, Champions League returns but where have all the goal scorers gone?
Jimbo and the Euro collective of James Horncastle, Raphael Honigstein, Julien Laurens and Alvaro Romeo cast their eyes over all the weekend and midweek action.
The Champions League returns with Guardiola v Tuchel, Ancelotti v Lampard and an under pressure Inzaghi at Inter.
Meanwhile Maurizio Sarri is back on song with Lazio who look like a proper Sarri side and should be playing Champions League football next season.
On paper Sevilla shouldn’t have much chance against Man United in the Europa League but they make a lot more sense than they did under Sampaoli.
A debate over Dusan Vlahovic leads us to ask where have all the goal scoring strikers disappeared to, across Europe.
Plus a fair few feuds - Valverde v Buena, Cassano v Mourinho and Galtier v Nice ultras.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
