    City take advantage of Arsenal stumble as Spurs slip into the drop zone

    Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Tim Spiers and Matt Davies-Adams are in the studio after another pivotal Premier League weekend. Man City close the gap to 6 points in the title race, with a game in hand, after an impressive 3-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. Are Pep’s players motoring towards a domestic treble? City host leaders Arsenal next Sunday, who suffer a shock home defeat to Bournemouth, their 3rd loss in 4 matches. Are they buckling under the pressure of chasing a first title in 22 years? It’s a miserable weekend in North London with Spurs losing at Sunderland in Roberto De Zerbi’s first game in charge. Winless in 14, in the relegation zone, with Cristian Romero coming off injured in tears. West Ham move out of the bottom three with their 4-0 thumping of Wolves while Forest come from behind to claim a point against Villa. And the race for Europe is wide open with 4 points separating 6th from 12th in the table! How much pressure is Eddie Howe under at Newcastle?

    Liverpool outclassed by PSG, Pep v Rosenior + the dawn of De Zerbi

    Jimbo welcomes Charlie Eccleshare, Mark Carey and Dan Kilpatrick into the studio to reflect on Wednesday night's Champions League Quarter Final action, as well as look ahead to the return of the Premier League.   Paris Saint-Germain comfortably dispatch Liverpool 2-0 in the first leg in France, but will they rue their missed chances next week at Anfield? Or will it just be more of the same from Arne Slot’s side, who failed to muster a shot on target last night?   Meanwhile in Barcelona, red card drama means it’s a first ever victory for Diego Simeone at the Camp Nou, and a first for Atletico Madrid in 20 years. Their delight is Barca’s fury as Hansi Flick lets rip on the officials.   Plus the Premier League is back and Roberto De Zerbi’s first game at Spurs comes with it. Man City travel to Stamford Bridge while Arsenal host draw specialists Bournemouth.   Produced by Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird.   • PART 1: Rundown of the results (2:40) • PART 2: PSG 2-0 Liverpool (8:30) • PART 3: Barcelona 0-2 Atletico (25:00) • PART 4: De Zerbi at Spurs & relegation battle (40:00) • PART 5a: Chelsea v Man City & title race (49:00) • PART 5b: Premier League preview (58:00) Hosted on Acast.

    Jimbo is joined by Art De Roché, Liam Twomey and Daniel Storey to discuss Tuesday night's Champions League action. Bayern beat Real Madrid 2-1 in an end to end encounter at the Bernabéu. It could have been more for Bayern and yet Mbappe could have got a hat-trick too, with both teams racking up 20 shots each. Are Bayern the team to beat? Is Harry Kane the best in the world? Meanwhile in Lisbon, Arsenal fought hard against an impressive Sporting Clube to earn a revitalising away win in the Estádio José Alvalade, via a stoppage time goal made by two substitutes Martinelli and Havertz.

    Arsenal stunned by Saints as Liverpool get stuffed by City

    Jimbo, Daniel Storey and Tom Williams reflect on a captivating FA Cup quarter-final weekend. It’s back-to-back defeats for Arsenal, overcome by a sensational Southampton from the Championship on Saturday. With their trophy hopes halved in the last two matches, is this the start of a dramatic collapse for the Gunners? Can the same question be asked of Liverpool, who are thrashed 4-0 by Man City, with Erling Haaland taking home the match ball? The pressure piling on Arne Slot ahead of the Reds’ trip to PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday. West Ham stage an incredible comeback against Leeds but it’s Daniel Farke’s side who progress on penalties to a first FA Cup semi since 1987. Where they will meet Chelsea, who pummel Port Vale 7-0 at Stamford Bridge. It’s also a big weekend in the EFL with Millwall moving into the automatic promotion places in the Championship.

    Totally Extra: Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle, 30 years on

    Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and George Caulkin to open up the Totally Extra almanac to exactly 30 years ago, on the Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle page. The Magpies were the great entertainers with the exuberant Kevin Keegan at the helm and much of the country pulling for them to take the title. Their title challengers Man Utd had famously been told by Alan Hansen they couldn't win anything with kids. With Fergie's fledglings finding form, a wobbling Newcastle went to Anfield and vowed to play the only way they knew how, to attack; the likes of Beardsley, Ginola, Asprilla and Ferdinand up against Fowler, Collymore, Barnes and McManaman. What ensued is still for many the greatest ever Premier League game. What made it so special? And how different might have football been if Newcastle had won it in 1996? Plus what else happened this week in football history and a brain-teasing quiz question. Produced by Charlie Jones, Lucy Oliva & Jesse Howard. RUNNING ORDER:  • PART 1a: Why this game was so special (0.40) • PART 1b: A 4-3 related quiz question (06.20) • PART 2a: The Totally Extra Almanac (08.10) • PART 2b: The Premiership in 1996 (11.10) • PART 3: Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle (32.51) • PART 4: The run in and the rant (55.01) • PART 5a: What cost Toon the title?
