The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Seb Stafford-Bloor into the studio after a “meh” Champions League week and a mouthwatering Premier League weekend.
Liverpool host Man City at Anfield in the last Premier League meeting between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola. We look back at some of the highlights of one of the most high-quality rivalries of all time.
At the other end of the scale, we discuss the dismal pantheon of worst teams in Premier League history after Sheffield United lowered the bar even further against Arsenal on Monday night.
The big teams in action all progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals this week, with Kane, Haaland and Mbappe all showing off their signature skills.
And it’s 4th v 5th on Sunday as Aston Villa take on Spurs. But all the talk ahead of that match is about Villa’s massive wage bill and Tottenham’s season ticket prices.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
