The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo is joined in the studio by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Sasha Goryunov ahead of the final weekend of the Premier League.

Man City go 2 points clear of Arsenal with victory at North London neighbours Spurs, to the glee of some Tottenham fans but not Ange Postecoglou. Can West Ham do the Gunners a favour on Sunday?

Aston Villa qualify for the Champions League while Chelsea are looking well set to reach the Europa League, although Mauricio Pochettino also doesn’t seem happy.

Jurgen Klopp manages Liverpool for the very last time as we look at his legacy and some of the moments that helped forged such a tight bond with the Anfield faithful.

We may also be saying goodbye to VAR if Premier League clubs decide to vote against it this summer. But would we just want it back the following season?

Plus it’s the final Inter Totally Cup quarter-final as Daniel Storey takes on defending champion Producer Charlie.

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Alvaro Romeo and Seb Stafford-Bloor as the European season reaches its exciting conclusion.

Leverkusen make it 50 unbeaten while Atalanta appear to be peaking ahead of their Europa League final meeting. And when was the last time there was such a clear favourite in the Champions League final?

It’s a slightly messy goodbye for Mbappe at PSG but Lyon’s phenomenal second half of the season continues. Could they be the big challengers for the Ligue 1 crown next season?

Big promotion news as Como join Serie A, while St Pauli and Holstein Kiel move on up to the Bundesliga. Plus one of only 9 Spanish league champions are back in the second division.

Plus Bologna are in the European Cup for the first time in 60 years but will Thiago Motta be there with Juventus. And why aren’t Milan fans satisfied?

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Adrian Clarke and JJ Bull into the pod after the penultimate weekend of this Premier League season.

A nervy Arsenal rely on their defensive steel to overcome Arsenal at Old Trafford, guaranteeing the title race will go down to the last day. Now they need a favour from rivals Tottenham who host the seemingly unstoppable Man City on Tuesday.

It was the weekend where Burnley, and almost certainly Luton, were relegated straight back to the Championship. Hear why we were so disappointed in the Clarets and the Hatters.

Chelsea look like they’ve finally clicked under Pochettino, with European football a real possibility.

Plus we show some love for Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace and Messrs Eze, Olise and Wharton.

It’s a Premier League weekend where the top 4 race and the relegation battle could all be settled. Arsenal look to keep the title race alive they head to Old Trafford where things never seem to go their way. Can they win and then get a favour from Spurs?
