Jimbo is back in the chair and joined by Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke, Natalie Gedra, with special guest Frida Fagerlund as the final six teams to play at this year’s World Cup are confirmed. It’s disaster yet again for Italy after penalty heartbreak in Bosnia & Herzegovina. The Azzurri become the first ever former winners to miss three World Cups in a row. Where do they go from here? There’s shootout joy for Czech Republic though who beat Denmark, Sweden see off Poland and Turkey are heading to the World Cup for the first time in 24 years after winning in Kosovo. DR Congo and Iraq are also through to the group stages, and there’s another disappointing performance from England at Wembley.

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Rob Tanner and Jordan Halford to open up the Totally Extra Almanac in 2016 and celebrate Leicester's historic Premier League title, 10 years on.  From the sacking of Pearson and battling relegation to Richard III, Ranieri, pizzas and Bocelli - the Leicester title story had it all. Underpinning Leicester's success was excellent investment with Vardy, Mahrez and Kante costing less than 8 million pounds and the squad barely getting injuries, meaning Ranieri could play the same eleven in most games. Even still, the odds were stacked against them with the bookies making them 5000-1 before the season started. So just how did they do it? And could anyone ever do it again? Plus 'On This Day' and Duncan's quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard.

Jimbo has a stellar cast of James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Colin Millar and Matt Davies-Adams to react to the World Cup play-off semi-finals. It’s a heartbreaking night for the home nations with Wales and the Republic of Ireland eliminated on penalties. And a brave young Northern Ireland side are beaten 2-0 in Bergamo by Italy. Are the Azzurri finally set to qualify for another World Cup? Jack Lang’s in Mexico to tell us about the inter-confederation play-offs, where he watched Jamaica edge past New Caledonia to set up a final against DR Congo.
