The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo welcomes Natalie Gedra, Carl Anka and Duncan Alexander into the studio in the middle of a packed week of Premier League football.
Man City dismantle Aston Villa thanks to a Phil Foden hat-trick. Is he becoming the frontrunner for the player of the year award or could it be his learned friend Rodri?
City are still behind Arsenal in the table who rotate but still ease past Luton. Do Pep and Arteta’s sides face potential banana skins at Palace and Brighton respectively this weekend?
For Liverpool, it’s another trip to Old Trafford on Sunday. Will the shots continue to rain down on Man United’s goal and has Casemiro been unfairly maligned this season?
Plus who the kids support, a bad day for Darwen, Shaqiri on a pogo stick and when commentators sing.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
