Jimbo is joined by Daniel Storey, Laurie Whitwell and Matt Davies-Adams after a nip/tuck weekend of Premier League football.

Liverpool, Tottenham and Man City all come from behind to earn morale-boosting victories, with the panel struck by Haaland’s humanity and how mass stoppage time will affect team’s mentalities going forward.

Customer Reviews
The Athletic Totally Football Show: The Sequel That Outshines the Original
surpasses its predecessor with a dynamic blend of humor and in-depth analysis, making it a podcasting triumph that sets a new standard in the genre. It's proof that, occasionally, sequels can indeed be better than the first film.
Rapidly becoming an Arsenal podcast
This used to be such a great show, relatively balanced with great tactical insights from the panel and delivered with a large slice of humour. However, more recently, it is turning into an Arsenal show with little mention of other teams, even missing out some matches entirely. A great shame for who could fail to love James Richardson, a magnificent operator in a crowded market. Get him a better supporting cast and return to your former glory!
Jackanory Storey
Clear as day Mr Storey has an issue with Liverpool proof if needed the VVD sending off comments “mercifully they won so we won’t have to hear about it all week” and “ban him for 1/2 more games” because he disagreed with the decision, meanwhile his beloved Notts Forest are lodging an official complaint about decisions that went against them against United. Pot, kettle.
