Who are the finalists in the 2026 Inter Totally Cup?
The Athletic FC.
Totally Extra. Today, the 2026 Intertotally final. It's Michael Cox, the man bidding for title number four, versus the rookie quizzer with the tournament's biggest score, Colin Miller.
What questions are asked in the first round of the quiz?
Is it Miller time or must he respect the Cox? Dare to find out in the very grand final of the 2026 Intertotally Cup.
Welcome everybody once again to the Intertotal League Cup. So glad that you could be with us on this day of days as we bring to a climax this terrific tournament with an eagerly awaited showdown between the revelation of this year's tournament Colin Miller. Hello Colin. Hello James. And the granddaddy of the quiz game Michael Cox. All right Michael.
How does Michael Cox prepare for the final?
Hi James. Nice to see you. Colin's here without a pen and paper for notes, Colin. That's how good you are.
I'm not sure about that, James. Yeah, it was before the semi-final. Charlie had his full preparation of a pen and paper in, and I never thought I would have needed one. Kind of puts a doubt in your mind, doesn't it? But no, I think I'm ready. You know, you have to be in the right mental frame of mind. And I think I'm there. Right.
Everything you need is right here, he said, tapping his head. Although it should be your head I'd be tapping. Michael, do you have a pen and paper?
Very much so. Some of those who am I questions. I mean, for the sake of the listener, I don't want to have to make you repeat it three times, James.
What were the results of the first round of questions?
So, yeah. I have got a pen and paper.
All right. Well, we'll be seeing any of those who are my questions in today's quiz. Slightly different format, it being the final. There'll be two rounds of five questions apiece. The first five will be about the season that has just finished, 2025-26 as we record. And the other five will be general knowledge and there'll be a half hour of Coldplay in between, of course. A tie-break is standing by if required, if the scores are level after those two rounds. Michael, you came through an uncharacteristically wobbly performance against Daniel Story in the first round and then did for Tom Williams 4-2.
What is the format of the second round of the quiz?
Are you feeling primed for the final?
Yeah, yeah, I think I'm building up. I agree, it was a poor quality final. But yeah, semi-final went a little bit better. And hopefully my experience of this occasion will count for something.
Well, that's so true, because I have seen a hint of nerves across the normally implacable face of Colin Miller. Your performances, though, so far, Colin, 4-1 against Benji Laniado in the opening round, and then, and this was a shock, Doing producer Charlie to the tune of 4-3 in the semi, they speak to proper quiz pedigree.
Yeah, I mean, you're talking about Michael's numbers there. I think Michael has the experience in the tournament.
What general knowledge questions are posed in the second round?
He works his way into it. He feeds himself into the game, into the tournament. He's done that this year. But yeah, there are no easy games in the Intertotally Cup, as we all know. But whenever I was paired with producer Charlie in the semi-finals, I thought, you know, you just want to go out there and give your best performance, have some fun. I think I did that. Maybe caught Charlie on a characteristically off day. But I think when you look at all the questions throughout all the rounds of the tournament, is that there is just so much variation. A lot of it just comes down to luck and the order of the question. And I think I've had that luck on my side so far.
All right. You make your own luck. Producer Nick makes all the questions. So many thanks to him. Let's get underway then with the 2026 Intertotally Cup Grand Final. First set of questions, Colin, you're up first. This is the Totally Football Show with James Richardson, part of the Athletic FC podcast network. OK, these are questions relating to the season that's just finished, 2025-26. Colin, Nottingham Forest had four managers this season. Can you name them in chronological order?
How do the contestants respond to the final questions?
So it was Nuno Espirito Santo to start, and then there was that eight-game Ange Postacoglu spell. Then we had some Sean Dyche to spice things up in the middle before Vitor Pereira saw the campaign.
