The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo has Tim Spiers, Jay Harris and Luis Miguel Echegaray for company as the first silverware of the season in England is handed out.

It’s Manchester City who claim the Carabao Cup thanks to a brace from Nico O’Reilly. What happened to league leaders Arsenal? And did Mikel Arteta make a mistake by starting Kepa?

It was a cup final atmosphere elsewhere in North London but it was Forest who took home a massive 3 points at Spurs in the battle to survive. Are Tottenham doomed?

The only positive for Spurs is that West Ham also lost and stay below them in the relegation zone. Villa the big winners in the Champions League race this weekend.

That’s because Liverpool lost at Brighton and Chelsea were taken apart by Everton. Are the Blues set to miss out on Champions League football? What will that mean for Liam Rosenior? And could it be David Moyes managing in Europe’s premier club competition next season?

Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Mark Carey into the studio to discuss another busy night of Champions League football and look ahead to the first domestic trophy of the season.

Newcastle are dismantled by Barcelona in the second half at Camp Nou, conceding four goals to lose 7-2 on the night and 8-3 on aggregate. That sets up an all-Spanish quarter final against Atletico Madrid, who knocked out Spurs despite a spirited 3-2 win from Igor Tudor’s men on the night.

Liverpool produced a second half blitz of their own as they blew away Galatasaray 4-1 on aggregate. They’ll play PSG next. Real Madrid will meet Bayern after the Bavarians completed a 10-2 aggregate win over Atalanta.

Plus League Cup Final predictions as Arsenal meet Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday, and a look ahead to potentially pivotal weekend at the bottom of the Premier League.

Jimbo is joined by Charlie Eccleshare, Liam Twomey and Jay Harris to discuss last night's Champions League action.

City and Chelsea's comebacks didn't go so well as PSG beat Rosenior's side 3-0 and City lost 2-1 to Real Madrid in Manchester after Bernardo Silva was sent off for a handball on the line

Jimbo is joined by Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballus, James Horncastle and Tom Williams to look back on the weekend’s European action, as well as discuss those crucial Last 16 second legs in the Champions League.

Real Madrid go into their return trip to Manchester City having beaten Elche 4-1, with Arda Guler scoring from inside his own half, but Barcelona are still four points clear after a Raphinha hat-trick helps them beat Sevilla 5-2.

In Italy, Atalanta put their horror show against Bayern behind them to draw 1-1 with leaders Inter, but Milan fail to make the most of it and lose 1-0 to Lazio. It’s advantage Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1 title race, despite them not even playing, as Lens lose 2-1 at Lorient.

And in Germany, Bayern drop points for only the fifth time this season after drawing 1-1 with Leverkusen.

Jimbo has Duncan Alexander, Tim Spiers and Adrian Clarke for company after what felt like a massive Matchday 30 in the Premier League.

Arsenal leave it late to beat Everton but do so with 16-year-old Max Dowman becoming the youngest scorer in Premier League history. Is that an iconic moment that will drive the Gunners towards the title? They’re now 9 points clear of Man City who draw 1-1 at West Ham.

Have Tottenham turned the tide in the fight to stay up? A first point under Igor Tudor rescued by Richarlison at Anfield in the 90th minute with Liverpool fans booing their team at the final whistle.

Man United power past Aston Villa 3-1 at Old Trafford to establish themselves as frontrunners in the Champions League race. Is Bruno Fernandes about to break the assist record?

And Chelsea are on the outside looking in, after losing 1-0 at home to Newcastle, with most of the conversation revolving around the Blues’ pre-match centre circle huddle.
