Arsenal overcome Chelsea as Tudor loses his first two at Tottenham

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Matt Davies-Adams react to another pulsating Premier League weekend. Arsenal edged past Chelsea 2-1 with all the goals in the game coming from corners, responding to a Haaland-less Man City winning at Leeds. A nervy finish at the Emirates, as the Gunners go 5 points clear having played a game more. North London neighbours Tottenham are beaten again under Igor Tudor at Fulham, to make it 10 matches without a win in the Premier League as their relegation fears grow. Apart from Wolves, the bottom six all lose so it’s as you were in the battle at the bottom, even after an incredible seven goal thriller at Turf Moor. Goals galore on Saturday with big wins for Liverpool and Everton. And Man United are up to 3rd in the table after coming from behind against Crystal Palace. Carl Anka tells us more from Old Trafford.

Deadline Approaches of Recent World Series Teams & The 2024 Hall of Fame Class

Britt and DVR look back the approach of a few recent teams that made it to the World Series and discuss the value of making smaller moves that still make an impact without being a splashy mid-season blockbuster.

DVR & Nesbitt | Grading Each Team's Trade Deadline Decisions

Stephen Nesbitt joins DVR to discuss grades for each team's Trade Deadline decisions. Which clubs joined the Padres with 'A's' this time around? Did the Yankees thin their starting pitching depth too much by making a late trade for Harrison Bader? Did the Mets' lack of a big move merit a failing grade? Will any of the teams that played the middle emerge to surprise everyone in the final two months? Follow Stephen on Twitter: @StephenJNesbitt Follow DVR on Twitter: @DerekVanRiper Hosted on Acast.

How have soccer pitches improved over the years?

This week, we revisit a topic that we've only touched on briefly in the past: soccer pitches. We get into dimensions and the like, but (inspired by this article from The Athletic), we spend much more time discussing the history of soccer pitches and how their construction and maintenance has evolved over time. From livestock grazing to keep grass length down to moisture meters telling robots when it's time for a watering, we've come a long way!

Jimbo presents the last Totally Football Show of 2025 in the company of Daniel Storey, Tom Williams and Seb Stafford-Bloor. It will be 1st v 3rd on Tuesday as Arsenal host an Aston Villa side buzzing after an 11th win in a row against Chelsea at the weekend. Unai Emery’s side go level on points with the Gunners with a victory. Man City have notched together 8 wins in a row themselves, the latest secured by Rayan Cherki at Forest. What impact is the Frenchman having on Pep’s approach? Another week, another Dominic Calvert-Lewin goal. And another defeat for Bournemouth. With Semenyo on his way out the door, how bad could things get for Andoni Iraola? Jay Harris joins us from Morocco where Nigeria show why they should and shouldn’t be considered strong favourites at AFCON. Plus there’s Ruben Amorim’s back four, Rudi Voller’s dancing and the annual West Ham striker search.

Can Man Utd expose Liverpool’s weaknesses?

We've completed the first leg of our live-show tour with dates in Belfast, Dublin, and Cork. Ian and Laurie are back at home feeling the effects, Andy continues on a bit more of a trek having paced himself, and Carl has wisely allowed himself a day off. No rest for Manchester United's international stars, though. Mixed results for the club's players in African World Cup qualifying Even Andy's mileage doesn't compare to Casemiro who has played 180 minutes for Brazil on the other side of the globe. Will he be selected at Anfield? Despite the recent record at Liverpool there is a sense that, if we see a solid showing from Ruben's boys, there's a realistic chance of a good result. The hosts certainly have the bigger injury problems, including some important players, and they haven't exactly started the season like champions. Hosted on Acast.

Is nepotism a thing in professional soccer?

Short answer: kinda, but not really. Longer answer:... you'll have to listen to the episode, but we discuss some of the most famous father-son duos in soccer history, as well as why there aren't as many father-daughter or mother-daughter duos (yet).

Bellingham shines in dramatic Clasico as Juve show Tudor the door

Jimbo’s got James Horncastle with him in the studio and Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús and Julien Laurens in far flung corners of Germany and Spain for your weekly round up of European footballing fun. There’s only one place to start - and that’s with events at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday afternoon as Real put an end to Barca’s recent Clásico dominance in typically tempestuous and dramatic fashion. Over in Italy, it was eight games without a win too many for Igor Tudor - dismissed by Juventus after their 1-0 defeat at Lazio. Meanwhile, Napoli went back top but lost KDB in bizarre circumstances - and back-flipping Jamie Vardy opened his Cremonese account! In a shock twist of fate Harry Kane *didn’t* score for Bayern Munich this weekend, but it didn’t matter as they made it 13 wins from 13 games in all competitions in their 3-0 victory at Gladbach. Closest challengers Leipzig continued their sensational form as they put six past Augsburg. And in Ligue 1, PSG are back on top thanks to their 3-0 win at Brest - taking full advantage of the defeat handed out to Marseille by high-flying Lens who are now up to second in the table! All that plus - cancelled holidays in Miami, unsightly gestures and plenty of ill-tempered confrontations. Produced by Lucy Oliva. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Moments of the weekend - and top-secret snails… (00.45) • PART 2: La Liga Review - Jude stars as Yamal starts arguments (10.30) • PART 3: Ligue 1 review - PSG back on top as Lyon continue to surprise (24.35) • PART 4: Serie A review - Tudor no more as Napoli return to winning ways (30.45) • PART 5: Bundesliga review - Leipzig on fire and Karl only scores bangers (48.10) Hosted on Acast.
