Summary
It’s Jimbo. It’s Duncan Alexander. It’s Carl Anka, It’s Flo Lloyd-Hughes. It’s the Totally Football Show.
The transfer rumour mill is beginning to spin at an alarming rate. Do Arsenal just buy the same players over and over again? Will Man United try to sign a player that hasn’t been at Ajax? How many of Marina Granovskaia’s signings at Chelsea have been successes? And how do Liverpool keep making money?
Flo has been with the England women’s team ahead of their friendly with the Netherlands as their preparations for Euro 2022 hot up.
Duncan tells Flo and Carl all about his favourite World Cup, Italia 90. And we discuss why we don’t get team anthems anymore. Is it James Corden or Peter Beardsley’s fault?
Plus Ian Wright lobbing Neville Southall, Landon Donovan inspiring civil protest and managers that made you feel old.
