The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo is joined in the studio by Raphael Honigstein, Duncan Alexander and Tom Williams in a week packed full of Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League action.
Not one but two penalty shootouts this week as Arsenal overcome Porto and Atletico power past Inter. Do the Gunners get enough credit for their defensive solidity? And are Dortmund the team everyone wants to play in the last 8?
However the game of the week came at the Vitality in the Premier League as Bournemouth come from 3-0 down at half-time against Luton to win 4-3. Elias Burke tells us about a heartbreaking night for the Hatters ahead of a literal six-pointer against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
It’s FA Cup quarter-final weekend with Man United versus Liverpool the headline fixture. Can Erik ten Hag save the season? Plus hear how Michael Edwards returning to Liverpool is significant.
Plus Saarbrücken, former Chelsea managers and why this is the most annoying weekend of the season.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
