Festival of the damned
The Totally Football Show with James Richardson - A podcast by The Athletic
Jimbo is joined by Tom Williams, Natalie Gedra and Colin Millar after another seismic midweek in the world of football. Man City take on Liverpool this Sunday in a potential title decider. Who will prevail? City’s collective or Liverpool’s superior individuals? First Brentford, now Benzema at Stamford Bridge as Karim rises to score a hat-trick against Chelsea in the Champions League. How has he become so good so late in his career? Villarreal and Atletico also show their identity once again and for Atleti, it’s the Burnley of the Champions League. Speaking of Burnley, The Athletic’s Andy Jones joins us to break down a pulsating victory over Everton in the Premier League, as the Toffees are forced to confront the unthinkable reality that they might be going down. Their opponents at Goodison on Saturday are Man United who may have Erik ten Hag in the dug-out next season. Would he be the most exciting appointment of the post Ferguson era? Plus draws, Vieira’s brilliant Palace and Grealish’s poor legs.
