The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo assembles Benji Lanyado, Jay Harris and Duncan Alexander for a feast of footballing chatter ahead of an enticing MD17 in the Premier League.We begin with events in the three midweek League Cup quarter-final ties - which saw Chelsea, Manchester City and Newcastle progress to the semi's, soon to be joined by either Arsenal or Crystal Palace. There was Cherki's outrageous strike, Garnacho showing his class - and more injury woes for Eddie Howe to navigate. Then it's full steam ahead with the weekend's PL action. How will Manchester United fare at form side Aston Villa after their bonkers 4-4 draw with Bournemouth on Monday night? Can the Gunners arrest their poor away form when they make the trip to take on Everton on Saturday evening? And will Tottenham v Liverpool live up to its chaotic and free-scoring reputation?!We get ourselves tied in xG knots, discover shocking connections to supermodels - and rank elite bazaars.Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.Take part in the Totally survey and share your thoughts!Get tickets to the Totally Live at Leicester Square Theatre!

Jimbo’s got the Euro crew alongside him for a dive into the wild and wonderful world of football from across the continent… We start in Italy, where the title race took yet more twists and turns as Milan and Napoli both dropped points to allow Inter to take top spot. Plus - Fiorentina’s plight deepens after their latest defeat leaves them eight points from safety in Serie A. Over in Germany, Bayern had a scare as they were staring down the barrel of defeat to bottom of the table Mainz, before - of course - Harry Kane stepped up to convert a penalty and take a point back to Munich… and somehow still manage to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga table! And in La Liga - Real Madrid picked up a precious three points at Alaves with Xabi Alonso’s job reportedly on the line. But Barcelona stay four points clear after Raphinha’s double made it seven wins in a row for the league leaders. All that plus ground-hopping recommendations, favourite insults, private emails - and emotional goodbyes. Produced by Lucy Oliva.

But it's a far more nervy victory for leaders Arsenal who survive an almighty scare in stoppage time from basement boys Wolves.The first Premier League Wear-Tyne derby in a decade is decided by a Nick Woltemade own goal as Sunderland's sensational season just gets better and better. But why are Newcastle so feeble going forward?But Tottenham's campaign takes a turn for the worse as they're thrashed 3-0 by Forest at the City Ground.

Jimbo's got Jay Harris, Jack Lang and Mark Carey in tow for a round up of all of Wednesday night's Champions League action - and a look ahead to the weekend's Premier League festivities.We've got the fallout from Manchester City's 2-1 win at Real Madrid - who are now on a run of just two wins in their last eight matches in all competitions. So is Xabi Alonso's job still well and truly under threat? Plus, Madueke shines as Arsenal maintain their perfect UCL campaign so far in their 3-0 win at Club Brugge - while it's the curse of the late goal again for Newcastle as they were held to a 2-2 draw out in Leverkusen. Plenty to look forward to this weekend in *our* league - including the first Premier League Wear-Tyne derby at the Stadium of Light in just over 10 years! Chris Weatherspoon is with us to gauge the excitement in and around Sunderland ahead of the game. Elsewhere - can Palace finally beat Pep at Selhurst? Will Villa show they're serious title contenders when they travel to West Ham? And can Everton beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 1994?! All that plus Tom Hanks films, manager WhatsApp groups and poorly-timed water breaks.
