Totally football show on a magical weekend in the beautiful game from the Witches of the South

0:10.7

and their last minute miracle to a spellbinding Arsenal Man United.

0:14.5

We look back on the moments to savour.

0:16.7

Marino, saved by DeHare, like Rapunzel's boyfriend, Liverpool, doing one from a great height on the seagulls, the irony, etc.

0:23.6

There's evidence renaissance, PSG losing, Champions League, and FIFA's balls in Moscow's firm hands at the World Cup draw.

0:32.1

The reaction to what was pulled out in front of Putin, it's The Totally Football Show.

0:44.6

Ra, everybody, what a magical weekend.

0:46.6

What a magical weekend of football.

0:48.1

The fun doesn't stop.

0:53.7

especially because I've got treats in front of me as well in the very human shape of a Tom Williams, who joins us for a totally football show, debut. Hi, Tom. You do a lot for France, don't you?

What a great day to have such a svel-looking and suave ex-keeper-in, because there's so much keeper stuff to talk about today. It's a very keeper-heavy weekend this weekend. All right. Will Vieri says, I like David Priest. You should have him on more. He's a keeper. Oh, that's here. Macintosh. You went to Stanford Bridge. I did. And paid particular attention to Everton's game with Huddersfield.

1:40.9

I did. More on that later on. I say, though, what a great day to have a keeper on, because of course, Saturday, I'm thinking we're going to have a big chat about DeHare.

2:17.8

this is Benevento, and we've been tracking them for a while, lost all their first 14 games, often in really unfortunate last gas circumstances. Sunday then, they're taking on Milan with Giannaurigutuzzo, making his debut on the bench for the seven-time European champions. And of course they're behind going into the final minutes, 2-1.

2:37.8

And then it happens.

2:39.2

In 95th minute, and this happens.

2:45.8

Just remarkable.
