The Totally Football Show with James Richardson

Jimbo welcomes Natalie Gedra, Charlie Eccleshare and Mark Carey into the studio after a shocking Wednesday night of action.

Arsenal somehow throw away a 2-0 lead to draw with rock-bottom Wolves at Molineux, with the hosts earning just their 10th point of the season. Have the Gunners lost their heads in the title race? And does a North London derby in Igor Tudor’s first game as Spurs manager represent a good or bad game for them at this moment?

In the Champions League, Newcastle kill off Qarabag in their first leg in Baku with a 6-1 victory. But it’s Bodo/Glimt who steal the headlines again with another stunning win against a European giant, this time Serie A leaders Inter. Bodo fan Martin Sliepnes has more.

The weekend’s Premier League action sees Vitor Pereira kick off his Premier League reign at Forest against Liverpool.

Plus why Rayan is the real deal, who is Iago Silva and how did Michael Kayode put his long throw to further use this week?
