The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, David Preece and Dion Fanning after a weekend of pivotal league and cup action.

Leicester progress to the FA Cup semi-finals with victory over Manchester United. Are the Foxes set to avoid another late season collapse? Why hasn’t it worked out for van de Beek at United? And should they nab Ndidi? Or Yves Bissouma?

Will Man City do the quadruple? Are they depressingly good?

In the Premier League, Arsenal come back from 3-0 down in garbage time to peg back a Lingard-inspired West Ham and take a point. But do the Gunners have an Aubameyang problem?

Tottenham bounce back from their Europa League exit in Zagreb with Hugo Lloris’s blistering post-match interview ringing in their ears. And Brighton and Newcastle are heading in different directions.

Plus Peter Lorimer, England’s number 1 and when will Republic of Ireland score again?

Jimbo, James Horncastle, Alvaro Romeo, Rafa Honigstein and Julien Laurens cast their eyes over another big week of Champions League and Europa League action.

Joachim Low decides to step down as Germany manager after Euro 2020. Are we about to witness a domino effect that will see Hansi Flick go to Germany and Julian Nagelsmann go to Bayern?

Jimbo discusses the Premier League weekend with Charlie Eccleshare, Daniel Storey & Matt Davies-Adams, a matchday with some truly unforgettable moments.

Arsenal bag the bragging rights by beating Tottenham in the North London derby, despite Lamela and his rabona providing one of the great Premier League goals. But did Mourinho revert to type with his tactics?

Elsewhere did Man United’s narrow win over West Ham actually show the chasm between the two sides?

Chris Wilder leaves soon-to-be relegated Sheffield United. Will he turn up at a Premier League club or aspiring Premier League club next season?
