The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Half a Premier League schedule but a bumper Totally Football Show, brought to you by Jimbo, Jack Lang, Duncan Alexander and Carl Anka.
It’s advantage Liverpool and Middlesbrough after the League Cup semi-final first legs with Chelsea particularly embarrassed by their defeat to Championship Boro. Why are we still not seeing any cohesion from Pochettino’s Blues?
Only 5 Premier League fixtures this weekend but some headline games, including Newcastle v Man City and Man United v Spurs. We discuss the work that INEOS have to do at Old Trafford and get excited about seeing Timo Werner in a Spurs shirt.
AFCON kicks off this weekend and our old friend Maher Mezahi joins us to preview the tournament. Expect Egypt to be more entertaining and Kudus to be Superman for Ghana.
Plus Jack tells us all about Brazil’s new manager and the embarrassing turn of events that led to this appointment.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
