There’s no decimal place in football
The Totally Football Show with James Richardson - A podcast by The Athletic
Jimbo welcomes back Michael Cox, Duncan Alexander and Dom Fifield ahead of a weekend fixture list packed full of potential drama. Chelsea breeze past Spurs in the Carabao Cup semi-final. Now they travel to the Etihad, needing a win against Man City to keep the title race alive. So with a point probably being a great result, how will Pep approach this match? As for Spurs, it’s the North London derby and the first managerial meeting of Antonio Conte and Mikel Arteta. Will we see the all-action Conte on the touchline once again after a few dispiriting performances? There’s huge controversy at AFCON with the referee at Tunisia v Mali blowing the full-time whistle early. Not once but twice. Maher Mezahi was there and fills us in on the latest goings on at the tournament. We discuss Newcastle’s Chris Wood, Sierra Leone’s Steven Caulker and Michael Olise – the new Adnan Januzaj? Plus goal average. How was that ever a thing?
