Fanboy hornet’s nest

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo, Duncan Alexander, Tom Williams and Natalie Gedra bring you a slightly later pod than usual after Thursday night’s pivotal North London derby.

Have Spurs now seized the momentum in the battle for Champions League football? And given their streakiness and the collective age of the players and the coach, is it a wonder Arsenal are even in this top 4 race?

Man City look imperious in their march towards the title, thanks to Kevin De Bruyne. Fantastic player, frustrating interviewee. Erling Haaland will be arriving in the summer. But could he be another Ibra or Lukaku?

It’s the FA Cup final on Saturday. Will it be another in the long line of enthralling Chelsea Liverpool contests this season?

Plus the panel lament the lack of football wackiness, Ajax's coach hiring process and the curious case of Lyon’s Marcelo.
