Jimbo is joined by Rory Smith, Duncan Alexander and Adrian Clarke on the pod where, in spite of the international break, there\u2019s plenty to discuss.\n\nMike Ashley\u2019s reign at Newcastle looks to be coming to an end. But the Saudi Arabian-backed takeover raises many issues. Is this the natural conclusion to the total worship of money in English football?\n\nItaly\u2019s world record breaking unbeaten run is over as Spain beat them 2-1 in the Nations League semi-finals, inspired by 17-year-old Gavi as the future looks bright for the Spanish. And for Barca?\n\nArguably the biggest World Cup qualifier this weekend sees Scotland take on Israel at a packed Hampden. Laura Brannan tells us more.\n\nDuncan brings his stats of the season so far. Are we witnessing the most lenient campaign in Premier League history?\n\nPlus Claudio Ranieri returns to English football. And Duncan and Adrian relive their days in the cub scouts.\n\n\nRUNNING ORDER:\xa0\n\xa0\xa0\n\u2022 PART 1: Newcastle takeover imminent (04m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 2: Italy 1-2 Spain (22m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 3: Duncan\u2019s stats of the season so far (38m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 4: Scotland v Israel preview with Laura Brannan (48m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 5: The odds with Paddy Power (56m 00s)\n\u2022 PART 6: Ranieri returns to English football with James Horncastle & Gab Marcotti (58m 00s)\n\nSIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR 33% OFF THE PRICE OF AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION\n\u2022\xa0theathletic.com/totally\n\xa0\nGET IN TOUCH:\n\u2022\xa0follow us on\xa0Instagram\n\u2022\xa0find us on\xa0Facebook\n\u2022 send us a\xa0tweet: @TheTotallyShow\n\xa0\nPARISH NOTICES:\n\u2022\xa0we\u2019re sponsored by\xa0Paddy Power\xa0- home of the Money Back Special\n\xa0\nREAD STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE:\n\u2022\xa0check out\xa0thetotallyfootballshow.com.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
