Can Chelsea upset Manchester City in the FA Cup Final?
The Athletic FC.
Totally Football Show. Today, drama as the season roars towards its climax. There's Chelsea looking for victory. Saints looking for a bigger tree. Spurs themselves not yet out of the woods. We'll be asking, can West Ham keep the relegation race alive at Newcastle?
What are the implications of the FA Cup for Manchester City and Chelsea?
Can Chelsea do a Wigan against Man City in the cup final? And should Middlesbrough call the cops or look behind one? Plus, heart stopper. We relive Wednesday's last-minute drama in Scotland and look ahead to the weekend's climax north of the border... All that and much, much more in this Totally Football Show. Thursday the 14th of May. It's a big hello to you from the Totally Football Show, which today welcomes back Natalie Jedra.
Hey, Jimbo.
Of Sky Sports. Yes. How are you, Natalie?
I'm good, I'm good. Busy end of the season, right?
Busy doing what?
Yeah, a lot of games, a lot of games.
What are the latest developments in the Premier League title race?
Games, yes. Shoots, interviews. It's been an exciting end of the season. Who have you talked to? Last week I spoke to Ryan Shirky, but I've been working on a documentary with Sky about Brazilians in the Premier League. Nice. Yeah, so it's been fun.
Nice.
How do injuries affect Chelsea's chances against City?
Okay. Well, maybe we can hear a little bit more about that later on, but there's plenty to talk about. A, Duncan Alexander.
Lots. So much that Scottish football has become super interesting.
How are teams preparing for the Premier League relegation battle?
Yeah. I was double screening it last night. You were watching the Celtic game. The Celtic game mainly, but then also, you know, keeping an eye at Tyne Castle as you do.
Yeah.
And yeah, it was...
flabbergasting what happened at the end we'll talk more about that later on because Phil Hay will be joining us ahead of what's going to be the decisive weekend in the greatest title race possibly Scotland's ever seen I don't know we'll check with Phil Charlie Eccleshire you football's so good you come back from Rome to see it
What impact does VAR have on the Scottish Premiership title race?
Exactly, yeah. Swapped Rome for turning over to the Celtic game in the 94th minute, which was a really good decision.
Excellent. You've been at the Italian Open, I should explain, covering tennis, which is fine, but it's not this week in football, is it? It's not the 94th minute of Celtic. Or the 90-whatever-minute it was for Arsenal-West Ham last weekend, which you witnessed in a...
Yes, in the media room in Rome.
Right. At the Foro Italico. At the Foro Italico, exactly.
How are Championship Playoffs shaping up amid Spygate controversy?
Just next to the Stadio Olimpico.
No, it wasn't. What was the reaction from the Italian journalists?
Well, it was one of those where everyone was getting increasingly interested in what was happening because I think they could sense that a number of the British reporters were kind of melting down. And so from a kind of like... anthropological perspective. I mean, maybe they're observing us more than they were necessarily the football. But everyone was sort of gathering around laptop screens.
What are the predictions for the upcoming Premier League matches?
It's nice in the week that Attenborough turned 100 that they're doing that.
Exactly, yeah. But yeah, to sort of see what Darren England would decide. It was quite a moment in Rome.
Yeah. Well, everything's still to be... In the eternal city. Exactly. Well, so much stuff still to be decided. There's also the Spygate row, which has deepened dramatically in the last few days. And the Intertotally, which gets underway this week. We'll have a very special episode of the Totally Football Show on Saturday featuring all the quarterfinals. So Charlie and...
Wow. Like the 1990 FA Cup semifinals when they put them on the same day.
Is that right? Yeah. Okay. Charlie and Duncan are both involved in the quarterfinals. How do they get on? Find out on Saturday. Shall we begin with the world's longest running cup competition, which has its main event on Saturday, the venerable FA Cup. The final, which sees Manchester City taking on Chelsea at three o'clock.
This is the Totally Football Show with James Richardson, part of the Athletic FC podcast network.
Charlie, what are your plans for Saturday? Up at nine, telly on?
I think I will be at a sick birthday party for some of that, if not all. So I may not be able to indulge in all the build-up, all the game.
