Summary

For the final time in 2021, it’s the Totally Football Show with Jimbo joined by Duncan Alexander, Rory Smith and Dom Fifield. It’s the end of the year and the end of the title race? Liverpool lose at Leicester while broken Chelsea are held by Bissouma’s brilliant Brighton. Is there any shame in finishing second to City? Ralf Rangnick’s revolution at Man United takes a backward step with some not happy about training at night-time. Plus how bad are Norwich and what’s their beef with Billy Gilmour? And we look back on the best and worst of 2021. It was the year of fans back in stadiums, the short-lived Super League and sticking Diaz on the end of your name. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Man City home and dry in the title race? (05m 00s) • PART 2: Newcastle 1-1 Man Utd (31m 00s) • PART 3: The rest of the weekend Premier League action (41m 00s) • PART 4: Looking back on 2021 (51m 00s) SIGN UP TO THE ATHLETIC TODAY FOR 60% OFF THE PRICE OF AN ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION • theathletic.com/totally GET IN TOUCH: • follow us on Instagram • find us on Facebook • send us a tweet: @TheTotallyShow READ STUFF ON OUR WEBSITE: • check out thetotallyfootballshow.com.
