The Athletic

James Richardson and Team Totally are here three times a week throughout the season with all the football news and chat you need - and plenty that you don’t.

The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Tom Williams and Tim Spiers gather to discuss a Premier League weekend packed full of drama and goals.

It’s another sensational Spurs v Chelsea fixture with Enzo Maresca’s Blues running out 4-3 winners. They sit 4 points behind leaders Liverpool while many are questioning how long Ange Postecoglou has left at Tottenham.

Man United are beaten for the second time in a remarkable week at Old Trafford and then part company with director of football Dan Ashworth the very next day. But can Nuno take Forest into Europe?

There’s late drama everywhere on Sunday, including Bournemouth snatching victory from the jaws of defeat at Portman Road. Stuart Watson has more on another hammer blow for Ipswich.

Plus Man City and Arsenal slip up, and the quote of the season so far.

Produced by Charlie Jones.

RUNNING ORDER: 
• PART 1: Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea with Liam Twomey (05.30)

Chelsea win 4-3 at Spurs after more embarrassment for Man United

Jimbo’s joined by Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús, Seb Stafford Bloor and James Horncastle for a deep-dive into matchday six of the Champions League - plus a look back at all the weekend’s domestic action from around Europe. 
PSG are on their worst run of the season - three games without a win in all competitions and just one goal scored. They gear up for a crucial Champions League meeting with Salzburg, while in Ligue 1 Marseille and Monaco closed the gap at the top to five points.
Serie A has a new leader - with Atalanta taking advantage of Napoli’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Lazio to move two points clear at the summit courtesy of their own 2-1 win over Milan. So, could Gasperini’s men get the better of Real Madrid in their European showdown on Tuesday night in Bergamo?
In the Bundesliga Dortmund warmed up for their midweek meeting with Barcelona by drawing 1-1 with Gladbach, while Bayern Munich’s lead at the top of the table stands at six points following their 4-2 win over Heidenheim. 
And in La Liga Barcelona’s slump in form continued with a 2-2 draw at Betis - meaning Real and Atleti are breathing down their necks, both with games in hand over Hansi Flick’s men. It was Diego Simeone’s side who picked up the most dramatic result of the weekend, coming back from 3-1 down with an hour played to win 4-3 against Sevilla.

Elsewhere Real Madrid are victorious against Atalanta in perhaps the game of the season so far, and the Brest fairytale continues.

The 2034 World Cup will take place in Saudi Arabia, while the 2030 World Cup will take place in 3 different continents. The panel express their dismay at the process and ponder the future of the World Cup.

The Premier League weekend also sees some Sunday 7pm kick-offs with the under-pressure Postecoglou and the inimitable Palmer in action.

City crisis deepens ahead of Manchester derby, plus the World Cup’s future

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Daniel Storey and Tim Spiers have plenty on their plate after a narrative-packed Premier League weekend.

The Manchester derby is won in sensational fashion by Man United with two late goals and Amad Diallo lighting up a drab derby. Is Man City’s place in the top 4 at serous risk?

Two managers lose their jobs on Sunday. Gary O’Neil after Wolves’ apocalyptic defeat against Ipswich, and Russell Martin after Southampton’s mauling by Tottenham.

Elsewhere Matt Davies-Adams watched Chelsea close the gap on Liverpool to just 2 points. But it’s a good weekend for the league leaders who rescue a draw with 10 men, while Arsenal draw a blank against Everton.

Oh and Forest are in the top 4 after their own late comeback against Aston Villa.

United stun City in Manchester derby, plus Martin, O’Neil sacked

Jimbo’s joined by his continental crew - James Horncastle, Julien Laurens, Pol Ballús and Seb Stafford-Bloor - to look back on the latest week of action from across Europe. 
Atletico Madrid took advantage of their faltering rivals Barcelona and Real with a 1-0 win over Getafe to move level on points with Hansi Flick’s side at the top of the table - and with a game in hand. That’s after Barca’s 1-0 defeat at the hands of Leganes, while Carlo Ancelotti’s men were held 3-3 by Rayo Vallecano. 
It’s just as exciting over in Italy, with Atalanta flying high after their historic 10th consecutive league win. Napoli got back to winning ways to sit two points behind, while Inter also kept up the pressure with a statement 6-0 win over Lazio on Monday night.
In the Bundesliga Bayern tasted defeat for the first time courtesy of a lacklustre 2-1 loss at bogey side Mainz, meaning Leverkusen closed the gap to four points courtesy of a 2-0 win at Augsburg. Plus, are Leipzig in the process of getting their season back on track?
And in Ligue 1, PSG remain unbeaten and sit seven points ahead of the rest of the pack after their 3-1 win over Lyon. Elsewhere Lille extended their unbeaten run to 16 games in all competitions courtesy of a late 1-1 draw with Marseille, their longest unbeaten run for 51 years.

Liverpool put six past Spurs while the Manchester clubs both lose again

Jimbo’s got his festive friends alongside him as Julien Laurens, James Horncastle and Pol Ballús bring the pre-Christmas cheer and reflect on all the action from across the continent. 
There was late, late drama in La Liga as Alexander Sørloth’s 96th minute goal made it 12 wins in a row for new league leaders Atleti following a 2-1 victory over Barcelona - who are down to third and in their worst run of form for over 20 years. Elsewhere, a certain Kylian Mbappé’s starting to look pretty good for Real Madrid… 
It was all about the Coupe de France in, well, France - including humiliation for Montpellier at the hands of fourth tier Le Puy Foot, memorable penalty saves and disappointment for Andy Carroll. 
Meanwhile in the Bundesliga it looks like we’ve got a two-horse race on our hands for the title, as Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen both registered big 5-1 wins to keep things nicely poised heading into die Winterpause.
And it’s even tighter in Serie A, with Napoli just two points behind Atalanta - the leaders having extended their winning run to 11 straight games in a tight 3-2 victory at Empoli. 
Plus, we say goodbye to 2024 with some… potentially unconventional picks for our best moments of the past 12 months.
