Show notes

On today’s Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo is joined by Michael Cox, Leroy Rosenior and comedian Matt Forde to look back on what could prove to be a pivotal weekend in the Premier League.Arsenal’s 5-2 demolition of Everton turned out to be the final straw as the Toffees finally dispensed with the services of Ronald Koeman.

Meanwhile, West Ham and Stoke sunk further into relegation trouble.Also on our agenda: Mezut Özil’s eyes; Boufal’s worldy; and the reinvention of Tom Cleverley.LIVE EVENT NEWS: • The Totally Football Totally Live Totally World Tour kicks off in Birmingham next month.
