Football Weekly podcast: Different season, but same old Big Four

In a line-up that’s every bit as unsurprising as the top four in the Premier League, James Richardson is joined in the pod by Barry Glendenning and Sean Ingle in another rip-roaring edition of Football Weekly.

The pod squad analyse Chelsea’s demolition of Arsenal, Liverpool’s bruising battle with Everton, and Tottenham Hotspur’s snoozefest with Aston Villa and ask: why are we getting another dose of the same old same old?

Also in the show – and lest we be accussed of Big Four-centricity – we discuss Hull City’s recent revival now that Phil Brown ditched the earpiece and the goatee.

Plus, we ponder whether Fabio Capello’s done the right thing in stripping John Terry of the England captaincy. And we get dewy-eyed about those Brat Pack movies of the 1980s.

Finally, our favourite Teuton Raphael Honigstein brings us news of a rift in the German national team and the latest from the Bundesliga; Sid Lowe brings us up to date with Spain’s La Liga; and Jimbo tells us about Lazio’s mounting woes in Serie A.

Football Weekly podcast: Chelsea’s Manchester malaise and fantastic Flamengo

It’s a mix of football, fisticuffs, and fidelity on the latest Football Weekly.

James Richardson’s joined in the pod by Kevin McCarra, Barney Ronay and Fernando Duarte.

We kick off by discussing all the weekend’s action from the Premier League. Are Manchester City now starting to show the mettle required to finish fourth after they burst Chelsea’s bubble? Plus, who’s the angriest player in the league – James Beattie or Bobby Zamora? And when will Rafa Benítez decide the time is right for Alberto Aquilani to finally play for Liverpool?

Next, Sid Lowe tells us about the Cristiano Ronaldo show after the world’s most expensive player preened, missed a penalty and got sent off in Real Madrid’s 4-2 win against Almería.

Finally, we analyse the World Cup draw – make sure you watch our special video on this too by the way – and get carried away about the dramatic conclusion to the Brazilian league season.

There’s even an appearance from blogger villasupportgroup (that’s Richard Whittall to his family and friends).
