The Totally Football League Show

Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger are joined this week by Football League legend and current Northern Ireland U21 manager Ian Baraclough for your brand new Totally Football League Show. 
We begin by celebrating Chris Coleman’s first win at Sunderland (7m 05s) before moving on to discuss Bristol Rovers’ troubles in League One (24m 25s) and wrapping things up by wondering how bright the future is for Wycombe Wanderers and the one and only Ade Akinfenwa (37m 40s). We also play a bit of Fan League (18m 00s), and round things off with a pop in by Joe Crilly from William Hill. He’s got all the the odds you need to know (48m 30s) - if you’re that way inclined, of course.

Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger are joined on the latest edition of The Totally Football League Show by Dean Gripton, the head of EFL research for Football Manager. Dean knows a fair bit about the lower leagues, so we draw on his knowledge as we tackle Preston’s progress in the Championship (6m 15s) and Forest Green’s maiden season in League 2 (32m 50s). We also give Scunthorpe plenty of love for their unbeaten run - and their unbeatable midweek carvery (21m 00s). We also play a bit of Fan League (14m 05s), get a review of the new documentary about Bradford City (28m 00s) and round things off with a visit by Joe Crilly from our new sponsors William Hill, who gives us all the odds you need to know (40m 50s).

Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger are joined this week by Martin Allen for your brand new Totally Football League Show to tell us about his life inside and outside the dugout. 
We focus on Barnet, one of Martin’s former clubs - indeed, it’s been his former club on four occasions - and how they’ll fare in League Two under new boss Mark McGhee (4m 00s). Next, we play a bit of Fan League (20m 00s) before discovering more about what’s going on behind the scenes at Bradford (26m 20s). Finally, we hear from QPR’s David Wheeler (34m 20s) - far from your typical footballer - and find out the truth about the time Mag Dog went for a dip in the Solent (37m 45s).

Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger are joined for this week’s episode of The Totally Football League Show by the one and only Ivor Heller, one of the founding members of AFC Wimbledon and the club’s current commercial director. Ivor tells us about a whirlwind decade-and-a-half at the helm of the club who were forced to start from scratch and now find themselves in League One (3m 45s). Next, we find out how Fulham have adjusted to life in the Championship - not that they’re looking to stick around in the division much longer (26m 25s) - before playing Fan League (34m 40s), where we praise Brentford and look ahead to Sunderland’s crucial clash with Middlesbrough. Finally, we talk Mansfield, their manager Steve Evans, and some remarkable off-field entertainment heading to the One Call Stadium this Christmas (42m 20s).

Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger are joined by Chris Ramsay - QPR’s former manager and current technical director, not the Geordie comedian - for this week’s Totally Football League Show. Chris tells us about his work at the QPR academy and looks ahead to a brighter future for Rangers, who are currently floundering at the wrong end of the table (3m 20s). Sticking with the Championship, we play Fan League (13m 50s) and look ahead to the West Midlands derby. Next, we turn our attention to League One, focusing on a Rotherham side that just can’t stop scoring (21m 25s). Finally, we get the skinny on Cambridge United and their exciting midfielder, Jevani Brown (36m 30s).

Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger are joined by footballer-turned-journalist Gregor Robertson for this week’s edition of The Totally Football League Show. Gregor tells us about the problems at his former club Chesterfield, currently propping up the entire Football League (4m 45s). Next, we wonder what in the world Richie Wellens has to do to get the Oldham job on a permanent basis (26m 00s). And finally, we allow ourselves to get wooed by Wolves (40m 53s), whose Chinese takeover - after some initial missteps - appears finally to be bearing fruit.

The Totally Football League Show rolls out the red carpet this week as Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger welcome Chris Powell, aka The Nicest Man in Football™.  
 Chris clues us in on his time as a player and (caretaker) manager at Derby County, and tells us about their promotion prospects.  He also wades in our discussions about Shrewsbury - currently leading the way in League One - and Accrington Stanley - sitting pretty in sixth in League Two.  Finally, Chris shares some pre-watershed anecdotes about Sven-Göran Eriksson and Jim Smith, and teases us as to whether he’ll be returning to Charlton one day in the future.

The Totally Football League Show returns with Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger joined in the studio by goalkeeper-turned-coach-turned-pundit David Preece. David gives us the skinny on his former club, Lincoln, home to the Cowley brothers and a pair of equally magnificent urban legends. Plus, we learn about the probability of a Peterborough promotion push; wonder how long Jaap Stam has left at Reading; and propose a definitive solution to the Checkatrade Trophy.

On the tricky second outing of the Totally Football League Show, Iain Macintosh and Matt Stanger are joined in the studio by former Northampton Town manager Justin Edinburgh. Among the many things we discuss, we ponder the future for the Cobblers and another of Justin’s former clubs, Newport, and find out what life is like for the beleaguered fans of Bolton.
