It's a midweek Totally Extra and Jimbo is joined by Jay Harris, Carl Anka, Liam Twomey & JJ Bull to discuss the midweek fixtures.

David Ornstein broke the news this morning that Spurs have sacked Thomas Frank after 8 months in charge. It was no wins in 8 games in the league for Frank's injury-stricken side and the final straw was another home defeat at the hands of Newcastle, with the familiar boos ringing out at full time. Where did it go wrong for the Dane and who will replace him?

Relegation-battling Leeds came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against their long time rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Man Utd were also held by relegation scrapping West Ham to deny Carrick's side 5 wins in a row, with Benjamin Sesko rescuing a point late on.

Bournemouth made it 6 games unbeaten beating Everton 2-1 with their impressive new Brazilian winger Rayan scoring again.

Plus the latest from Leicester and why not everyone wants Hearts to win the Scottish Premiership.
