0:00.0	That was the weekend that saw Arson Venger and Alex Ferguson reunited, but the same old result.
0:11.6	No one wants to lose down the bottom of the table, and so we are none the wiser.
0:15.7	And Barcelona, well, they're still being Barcelona.
0:18.7	All that and more coming up on the Totally Football Show.
0:23.6	Right, then Jimbo's away in the Philippines for the next few shows
0:27.1	with the world's strongest men, apparently.
0:29.7	He just can't get enough of men in Lycra.
0:31.5	And nor can our first guest.
0:33.3	Matt Davis, commentator for Chelsea TV,

And never mind the like where you dressed all Harry Potter last week. Yeah, there's no quick way of going
1:28.4	into this. I'll try though. The Watford FC Community Trust had an event on Thursday evening at the
1:34.7	Warner Brothers Studios so aka Harry Potter World as we know it in Watford and it was great. I had to
1:41.0	stand there in a Griffindore cloak for six hours, presenting, hosting
1:44.3	the evening, raising money for the community trust. Just very surreal. From the moment you walked in,
