The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo's got Jay Harris, Jack Lang and Mark Carey in tow for a round up of all of Wednesday night's Champions League action - and a look ahead to the weekend's Premier League festivities.

We've got the fallout from Manchester City's 2-1 win at Real Madrid - who are now on a run of just two wins in their last eight matches in all competitions. So is Xabi Alonso's job still well and truly under threat? Plus, Madueke shines as Arsenal maintain their perfect UCL campaign so far in their 3-0 win at Club Brugge - while it's the curse of the late goal again for Newcastle as they were held to a 2-2 draw out in Leverkusen.

Plenty to look forward to this weekend in *our* league - including the first Premier League Wear-Tyne derby at the Stadium of Light in just over 10 years! Chris Weatherspoon is with us to gauge the excitement in and around Sunderland ahead of the game.

Elsewhere - can Palace finally beat Pep at Selhurst? Will Villa show they're serious title contenders when they travel to West Ham? And can Everton beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for the first time since 1994?!

All that plus Tom Hanks films, manager WhatsApp groups and poorly-timed water breaks.

Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.

Jimbo’s got Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballús & James Horncastle along for the usual European fun and games with MD6 in the Champions League on the horizon. 

We begin with the increasingly loud rumblings of discontent in Madrid - as Xabi Alonso’s Real were stunned in a 2-0 defeat by Celta Vigo on Sunday night. How disastrous could it be for the Los Blancos boss if they were to be beaten by Pep’s City on Wednesday night? 

In Italy, it was an unhappy return to Naples for Luciano Spalletti as his Juve side were beaten 2-1 by Napoli. Elsewhere, Inter put four past a Como side which had been unbeaten in 11 Serie A games. Next up for Cristian Chivu’s side? Liverpool in an even deeper Mo Salah induced crisis. 

There may be no Jules but we’ve got a quick look at how things panned out in Ligue 1 over the weekend, with Lens still top, PSG putting five past Rennes and Marseille falling off the pace after their defeat at Lille. How will Luis Enrique’s men fare in their midweek trip to Bilbao to take on Athletic Club?

And over in the Bundesliga, Leipzig’s Yan Diomande stole the show with a hat-trick in their 6-0 demolition of Frankfurt on Saturday. Plus - the extraordinary tale of the Vušković brothers at Hamburg.
