The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

It’s Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Colin Millar and Luis Miguel Echegaray in position after another dramatic weekend of Premier League action.

It’s 4 games without a win for Man City as Michael Carrick’s Man United produce a performance for the ages to win 2-0. How did the Red Devils do it?

For the second matchday in a row, Arsenal fail to fully capitalise on City’s slip-up as they draw 0-0 at Forest. Will Mikel Arteta come to regret these missed opportunities in the title race? Perhaps not as Villa also stutter with a 1-0 defeat to Everton.

We record the pod as the AFCON final is in progress, not knowing what was about to unfold. A controversial penalty, a walk-off, pitch invasions, a Panenka and eventually a heartbreaking defeat for hosts Morocco against Senegal. Maher Mezahi was there.

Billed by some as El Sackico, West Ham are last-minute winners at Tottenham, who lose a third straight game. What next for Thomas Frank?

And what next for Oliver Glasner after a remarkable few days where he reveals his plan to leave Palace in the summer, then takes aim at the board for abandoning him and his players. Matt Woosnam has more.

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Tom Williams and Musa Okwonga as they open up the Totally Almanac in the 90's to celebrate George Weah.

"The life of this guy is a film" said his mentor Arsene Wenger; from a Shanty town in Monrovia to becoming the first and only African Ballon d'Or winner and eventually becoming the president of Liberia.

King George first won the hearts of Monaco and PSG fans with his dazzling runs and infectious personality before moving to Milan and winning two Serie A titles and scoring countless unforgettable goals. But was his pitch-long run & finish against Verona the goal of the decade?

Plus your questions and a fiendish Weah themed quiz question set by Duncan Alexander.

Jimbo’s joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús & James Horncastle for a deep-dive into all the latest action and headlines from across the continent.

There’s only one place to start - and the news that broke late on Monday afternoon that Xabi Alonso has been sacked as Real Madrid head coach - and replaced by the club’s reserve team coach Alvaro Arbeloa. The Athletic’s Guillermo Rai joins us for the immediate reaction to the news which followed the 3-2 defeat by dear friends Barcelona in the Supercopa on Sunday evening.

There’s drama of a title race variety in Italy - where the hunt for the Scudetto was reignited once again as Inter, Milan and Napoli all dropped points to open the door for chasers Roma and Juventus.

And in Germany - the Bundesliga returned from the Winterpause in style with goals galore across the weekend including Bayern putting EIGHT past Wolfsburg, while Frankfurt and Dortmund played out a 3-3 thriller on Friday night. Vincent Kompany’s side couldn’t win the title by a record-breaking points margin, could they?

All that plus the latest from the Coupe de France as Endrick marks his debut for Lyon with a winning goal, reminiscing on the ‘Mohawk Trident’ - and dramatic snowscapes in Hamburg.

Produced by Lucy Oliva.

Macclesfield, 117 places below holders Crystal Palace in the football pyramid, are victorious 2-1 at Moss Rose on Saturday. All hail John Rooney and the Silkmen.

Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham also knock out Premier League opposition as Forest fall on penalties on Friday night. Could they meet again next season?

Daniel was there to see Man City hit 10 goals against Exeter on Saturday. Elsewhere, there’s more misery for Spurs against Villa, while Liam Rosenior is victorious in his first game in charge of Chelsea, a 5-1 win at Championship Charlton.
