Disappointing cut to the ground

The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo is joined by the elite line-up of Michael Cox, Charlie Eccleshare and Duncan Alexander.

The European Super League appears to have collapsed as quickly as it was formed with the Big Six in England all pulling out. What killed the ESL? Should the owners have been more patient? Did England save football? Or with the new Champions League reforms, are we actually worse off than we were a week ago?

The League Cup final beckons with Manchester City taking on Tottenham, managed by Ryan Mason, the antidote to Mourinho.

The Premier League brings West Ham v Chelsea, Leeds v Man Utd and memories of Nigel Pearson wrestling James McArthur.

Chelsea Women retain the title initiative in the WSL in one of the games of the season against Man City.

And in the first Inter Totally quarter-final, defending champion Michael takes on Matt Davies-Adams.
