The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander and Charlie Eccleshare tackle the final weekend of the Premier League season.

Everton survive after an incredible comeback against Palace on Thursday night. Former Toffee Don Hutchison talks to us about their escape and the growing problem of pitch invading fan altercations.

The final day promises perhaps more drama than we’ve ever seen in Premier League history. Who will win the title? Who will go down? Will Man United be consigned to the Conference League where they belong?

Jimbo is alongside Colin Millar, Jordan Campbell and Christoph Biermann as the first major European silverware of the season is decided.

It’s the biggest day in Eintracht Frankfurt’s history as they overcome Rangers on penalties in Seville to win the Europa League. A victory for German football fans, redemption for Trapp and more misery for Ramsey. Will we see the Eagles doing a Dortmund in the near future?

Forest also need penalties to reach their first ever play-off final. Matt Davies-Adams talks to us about a nerve-shredding night in Nottingham.

Blackpool’s Jake Daniels becomes the only openly gay male professional footballer in Britain. The Athletic’s editor-in-chief Alex Kay-Jelski discusses Daniels and the ongoing Idrissa Gueye situation.

And last – and definitely in no way least – Tim Spiers brings us the latest from the Rebekah Vardy libel trial.

RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1: Frankfurt win the Europa League (01m 00s)

Jimbo welcomes James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Christoph Biermann into the pod for the closing stages of continental football.

The Bundesliga season finishes with a send-off for Erling Haaland, and perhaps to Robert Lewandowski. The Pole indicates he wants to leave Bayern. Does that give hope to the rest of the Bundesliga?

Germany’s favourite team Eintracht Frankfurt are preparing for their Europa League final on Wednesday. Can Rangers overcome the best team in the competition season?

The Serie A title race is going right down to the wire with Milan two points of Inter clear heading into the final day. All thanks to a wonder goal from Theo Hernandez and the heroics of the man who should be France’s number 1.

Kylian Mbappe is footballer of the year in France but looks set to be on the move to Real Madrid.

And in Spain, Sevilla will be in the Champions League season but potentially without Julen Lopetegui. And will Gareth Bale bid a proper farewell at the Bernabeu?

RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1: Moment of the weekend (03m 00s)

• PART 2a: Europa League final preview (07m 00s) 

• PART 2b: Bye bye Bundesliga for Haaland…and Lewandowski? (15m 00s)

• PART 5: Sevilla in the Champions League next season…without Lopetegui? (52m 00s)

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Dom Fifield and Sasha Goryunov after Liverpool hoover up yet more silverware.

It’s another shootout victory for Liverpool in the FA Cup final as their squad players step up again and Chelsea’s season turns into an anti-climax.

Liverpool’s title hopes are given a boost by the brilliant Bowen who will surely be making his England debut very soon, as Mahrez misses the chance to put Man City on the verge of the title.

Leeds are the big winners at the bottom after their last-gasp point against Brighton. Are Everton playing too many games like they’re cup finals and is too much hoopla before matches causing them to lose control?

And what alternatives can we find to penalties after Burnley are punished particularly harshly by a spot-kick awarded in their match with Tottenham.

Plus Mark Noble, Prince Albert and the Roy Hodgson debacle at Vicarage Road.

RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1: Liverpool win the FA Cup (02m 30s)

• PART 2: West Ham 2-2 Man City (18m 00s) 

• PART 3: The battle at the bottom (33m 00s)

• PART 4: Noble, Forest and the rest of the Premier League weekend (49m 00s)

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Natalie Gedra bring you a slightly later pod than usual after Thursday night’s pivotal North London derby.

Have Spurs now seized the momentum in the battle for Champions League football? And given their streakiness and the collective age of the players and the coach, is it a wonder Arsenal are even in this top 4 race?

Man City look imperious in their march towards the title, thanks to Kevin De Bruyne. Fantastic player, frustrating interviewee. Erling Haaland will be arriving in the summer. But could he be another Ibra or Lukaku?

It’s the FA Cup final on Saturday. Will it be another in the long line of enthralling Chelsea Liverpool contests this season?

Plus the panel lament the lack of football wackiness, Ajax's coach hiring process and the curious case of Lyon’s Marcelo.

RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1: Spurs 3-0 Arsenal (03m 00s)

• PART 2: Wolves 1-5 Man City and the signing of Erling Haaland (21m 00s) 

• PART 3: FA Cup final preview (36m 00s)

• PART 4: The rest of the Premier League weekend (45m 00s)

Jimbo and the Euro crew of James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Christoph Biermann discuss the business end of the season across the continent.

The title race and the battle to stay in Serie A are both going to the wire. Is it a job well done for Jose Mourinho this season as Roma reach the Conference League final?

Nantes are Coupe De France winners thanks to the French Sam Allardyce. Meanwhile Aurelien Tchouameni has some big suitors across Europe after another stellar display for Monaco.

Atletico finally win a derby to put themselves on the verge of Champions League qualification. And Alvaro is getting excited about the prospect of Fati and Pedri playing together at Barcelona.

And Schalke are back in the Bundesliga, as Eintracht Frankfurt prepare for their Europa League final against Rangers.

Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Lynsey Hooper and Charlie Eccleshare after what could be a pivotal weekend in the Premier League season.

Charlie upsets Klopp, as do Spurs who hold Liverpool at Anfield, allowing Man City to go 3 points clear by battering Newcastle. Is it City’s to lose? And are we any closer to knowing how Jack Grealish fits into the City side?

It’s advantage Arsenal in the race for the top 4 ahead of the North London derby on Thursday. Hear why the panel think it’s still Spurs that will grab that Champions League place.

Leeds look in big trouble at the bottom as Everton take a giant leap towards safety. Plus what about Southampton? Downgrading all over the pitch, Hasenhuttl under pressure, could they be doomed next season?

Chelsea are champions of the WSL once again after an enthralling final day. But will Man City deny them a domestic double?

It’s a great time for Scottish football. Jordan Campbell tells us about Rangers’ progression to the Europa League final and Celtic’s imminent title win.

Plus Bristol Rovers, wow sensations and Man United’s staggering but not surprising performance at the Amex.

RUNNING ORDER: 

• PART 1: Liverpool 1-1 Spurs & Man City 5-0 Newcastle (03m 00s)

Football, bloody hell. Jimbo is joined by Michael Cox, Duncan Alexander and Adrian Clarke after another phenomenal set of Champions League semis.

Man City are seconds away from reaching the final but it’s Real Madrid who come back from the dead yet again. Was this a Champions League exit where Pep didn’t do anything wrong? And we pay tribute to calm Carlo Ancelotti.

Liverpool survive a scare in Villarreal to reach the final. But don’t cry for Emery after an incredible campaign. Do Spurs have what it takes to trip the Reds up at Anfield on Saturday night?

The battle at the bottom of the Premier League looks intriguing this weekend. Could it take more than 40 points to stay up? 

The Athletic’s Matt Slater fills us in on the latest regarding the contenders bidding to be the new Chelsea owners.

Christoph Biermann discusses the possibility of an all-German Europa League final as the nation starts to take the competition seriously again.
