Season preview part one: Is there actually a title favourite?
Jimbo's back for the 2025-26 season and he's got Charlie Eccleshare, Duncan Alexander and Daniel Storey alongside him to bring you our first preview episode ahead of the shiny new Premier League campaign.Today, we’re shining the spotlight on the six clubs who qualified for the Champions League last season.Liverpool have made the most eye-catching signings over the summer - but are they favourites to retain their crown? Could world champions Chelsea be the surprise package? Can Arsenal *finally* go from bridesmaid to bride and take home their first title since 03-04? And Will Pep Guardiola's new-look coaching staff help take them back to the heights of seasons past? How will Newcastle recover from their tumultuous off-season? George Caulkin joins us with the latest on the Alexander Isak saga after it was revealed he has no intention to play for the Magpies again - even if he isn't sold. And - can Thomas Frank take Europa League winners Tottenham from 17th in the table to a serious Premier League outfit again? All that plus bad knee slides, petulant teenagers and the plight of Sheffield Wednesday.

Totally Gold 95-96: Keegan's Newcastle and the best Premier League game ever
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?
