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. But while Carrie fills us in on the positive news about the growth women’s game, James H has only bad things to say about events off the field in Italy.Finally, there’s some hot chat about a Star Trek-like encounter at Liverpool, and a fair bit of Luton Town- and Ardiles era Tottenham-tinged nostalgia.

Koeman and Everton consciously uncouple - is Bilic next for the chop?

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. Elsewhere, Dejan Lovren and Victor Lindelof put on two of the worst defensive displays, like, *ever* as Tottenham hammered Liverpool 4-1 and Huddersfield shocked Manchester United. 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.

That Harry Kane team, that dreadful Palace record, and that incredible Peru kit

On your brand new edition of The Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo is joined by Iain Macintosh, Sasha Goryunov and Jack Lang to gaze back on yet another show of strength by the Manchester clubs in the Premier League. Meanwhile, the Merseyside teams both disappointed, while there were yet more goals for Harry Kane - but absolutely none for Crystal Palace.  Again.

Plus: Scotland’s make-or-break double header with Slovenia and Slovakia, and why the greatest kit in world football looks set to make a return to the grandest stage of all.
