and much, much, bracket some more in this totally football show in association with Paddy Power.

Wait, what? That's not Jimbo. I sense you internalised with a palpable sense of disappointment, dear listener.

1:44.9

Well, firstly, congratulations on the perceptiveness. Secondly, fear not. We've got an A1 panel to make up for the fact that it's me, Matt Davis Adams, in the host chair, while Jimbo and producer Ben are off in Bratislava having a fucking great time at the world ice hockey championships. Do you catch up with the latest episode of the Totally Ice Hockey Show, by the way, it's out now. So with the bosses out of the way, myself and producer Abby, are going rogue with an X-rated edition of the show in a way. Yep, it's a horny cock story in the pod today. I'm talking about my guests, of course.

1:43.0

First up with Jimbo away, he's our go-to-go-to-go. For mid-90s hip-hop references today. Damn right, he likes the life he lives because he went from negative to positive, and it's all good. A big hip-hop, hooray-ho to a European football expert, a drummer and a man with luscious glossy hair, it's James Hallcastle.

1:45.3

Thank you for that juicy opening there.

You're very welcome. Hoorahoe to a European football expert, a drummer and a man with luscious, glossy hair. It's James Hallcastle.

2:19.5

Thank you for that juicy opening. You're very welcome. Next, you'll know him best as a contributor to the outstanding Nottingham Forest Quarterly Bandi in Shinty, issue 12 out now. He also writes for lesser-known publications like the I and 4-42, as well as Football 365. His latest book, 250 days cantonar's kung fu kick and the making of manu is available now because i've got amazon prime i could

and last but not least it's mr tactics himself author of the soon-to-be-released Zoneal Marking, The Making of European Football, which has a lovely cover, by the way. He also wrote The Mixer, about which one online reviewer wrote, thought the book would be a bit more in-depth, probably covered too long a time frame, meaning it was a bit of a whistle-stop tour of tactics. Anyway, good luck with the new book, though with 79% of Amazon reviewers giving the mixer five stars. As someone once said, you don't need look when you got 79% of the population behind you. Office reference tick, howdy Michael Cox? Hi, Matt. Those are some comprehensive intros. High time we get to the football. Only one place to start.

But finally we know it. First place in the Premier League does go to Manchester City.

3:42.9

The title race. Well, for a minute, 83 seconds. It looked like we were going to get some proper drama. To recap the pre-match scenario, Liverpool, at home to wolves, had to better Manchester City's result at Brighton if they were to pick the citizens to the title.
