The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo is joined by the Euro crew of James Horncastle, Tom Williams, Pol Ballus and Seb Stafford-Bloor to look ahead to the Champions League semi-finals and discuss the latest football news from around the continent.

It's down the last 4 in Europe's premier competition with PSG V Bayern the pick of the semi's on Tuesday, before Arsenal travel to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Italian football is in meltdown as a refereeing scandal overshadows the weekend when Inter were hoping to seal the Serie A title. This comes 20 years on from the Calciopoli scandal and just a few weeks after the national side's failure to reach the World Cup.

In Spain, Real Madrid drop points again and will be hoping to avoid handing the champions-elect Barca the title in the upcoming Clásico. In Germany, Bayern have the title wrapped up and are going for a treble, while across the border in France, PSG look to have seen off Lens and are now 6 points clear at the top.

Plus Moment of the week and Tom's marathon weekend.

Matt Davies-Adams welcomes Daniel Storey, Seb Stafford-Bloor and Colin Millar into the pod to talk FA Cup and Premier League action.

Calum McFarlane’s Chelsea see off Leeds 1-0 in the Sunday semi-final. Are they standing between Man City and a domestic treble?

Arsenal go back 3 points clear at the top of the Premier League after a narrow and nervy win over Newcastle. Was it a performance that posed more questions than answers?

It was a huge weekend at the bottom with victories galore. Spurs won for the first time in 2026, but West Ham beat Everton in stoppage time. And Nottingham Forest ran riot at Sunderland, winning 5-0 on Friday.

Plus Daniel witnessed the incredible finale in the National League as York City won promotion to the Football League at Rochdale’s expense.

Matt Davies-Adams is in the chair alongside Duncan Alexander, Benji Lanyado and Jay Harris as Chelsea say goodbye to another manager and Manchester City go top.

Liam Rosenior is OUT at Chelsea after overseeing their worst run of form since 1912. Calum McFarlane takes interim charge for the rest of the campaign. Can he oversee a win against Leeds in the FA Cup this Sunday?

Much better news for Manchester City, who have moved top of the Premier League for the first time since the opening weekend. A 1-0 win at Burnley relegates the Clarets and sends Pep Guardiola’s men above Arsenal on goals scored. Will they still be there at the end of May? They take on Southampton in the other semi-final this weekend.

Plus, the team look ahead to the rest of the weekend’s action. Can the Gunners move back ahead of City with a win against Newcastle? Will relegated Wolves drag Spurs down with them?

And with Leicester marking the ten-year anniversary of winning the Premier League by being relegated to League One, we ask what other unthinkable things might be happening in the world of football in a decade’s time.

Jimbo and the usual team of Seb Stafford-Bloor, Pol Ballus, James Horncastle and Tom Williams are back to discuss what’s been going on in the continent.

Bayern Munich are German champions for a 35th time. A 4-2 win over Stuttgart secures the title after second-placed Dortmund lose 2-1 to Hoffenheim. Is this the first of an incredible treble for Vincent Kompany’s men this season?

In Spain, it’s a first Real Sociedad trophy in front of fans for 38 years as they beat Atletico Madrid on a penalty shootout to win the Copa Del Rey. Delight for the White and Blues, but how might this impact Atleti ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal? And what’s been the fallout at Real Madrid and Barca after they were dumped out?

The Ligue 1 title race could be back on after PSG lose 2-1 to Lyon. Second-placed Lens beat Toulouse 3-2 to close the gap to just one point. And in Italy, Inter go 12 points clear with five games to go: a 3-0 win over Cagliari means the Serie A title looks like a formality for the league leaders.

Jimbo welcomes Daniel Storey, Tom Williams and Liam Twomey onto the pod after the top two tussle lives up to the hype.

Erling Haaland scores the winner at the Etihad to bring Man City to within 3 points of Arsenal with a game in hand. Is Pep heading towards a 5th title in 6 seasons?

Is the race for the top 5 over? Liverpool win the first ever Hill Dickinson Merseyside derby with a 100th minute goal from Virgil Van Dijk. And Chelsea make it 4 defeats in a row without scoring as they lose 1-0 to Man United.

It’s another pivotal weekend at the bottom of the table with Spurs seconds away from their first win of 2026 before Brighton equalise. Which allows Leeds and Forest to move further clear of the drop zone. Matt Davies-Adams tells us about the magnificence of Morgan Gibbs-White.

Plus a seven-goal thriller between Villa and Sunderland and another defeat for Newcastle.
