Summary

Jimbo is joined by Duncan Alexander, Adrian Clarke and Sasha Goryunov in a week of yet more managerial upheaval. Leeds replace Javi Gracia with Sam Allardyce for the final 4 matches of the season. Is Big Sam as good as he says he is? And could we see yet more managerial changes in the Premier League this season? The panel debate Frank Lampard’s future in management after a 6th defeat in a row against Arsenal at the Emirates. Plus there’s a guy at the Etihad who’s breaking records as Man City stay top of the table. The battle at the bottom promises to excite as Leicester go all-out attack under Dean Smith. And we dig deeper into Trent Alexander-Arnold’s new role at Liverpool. Finally, it’s Sasha’s turn to step up in the Inter Totally Cup as he takes on Nancy Froston! Produced by Charlie Jones.
