The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Sports:Soccer
Jimbo is joined in the studio by Tom Williams, Jay Harris and Adrian Clarke in the middle of a week jam-packed with football.
The FA Cup 5th round brings drama and an incredible display from holders Man City who win 6-2 at Luton with Erling Haaland scoring 5. Is there any way Man United can tame City at the Etihad on Sunday?
Chelsea leave it late to knock out Leeds at Stamford Bridge. Hear why the criticism of Mauricio Pochettino’s side this week has been overblown.
Matt Slater tells us what we need to know about Everton’s points deduction reduction and what it means for both them and Forest. And how likely is it we won’t know the final league table when the season ends?
Brentford are feeling the heat at the bottom after another defeat at West Ham on Monday. Have they let the external noise get to them?
Plus Bailey, Cristiano and the Danns family tree.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
