Show notes

On today’s Totally Football Show, Iain Macintosh, James Horncastle and Carrie Dunn join AC Jimbo in the pod to ponder West Ham’s remarkable(ish) comeback in the League Cup, Leicester’s shock(ish) appointment of Claude Puel, and some tasty(ish) encounters in the Premier League.Next up, we applaud the progress of the England U17s as they reach the World Cup final in India.

Show notes
