Sean Ingle, Paul Doyle and Raphael Honigstein join James Richardson to talk about the midweek’s action.

As Wayne Bridge calls time on his England career, the pod ponder his reasons and consider how missing Ashley Cole and Wayne Bridge will affect England in South Africa. Could the excellent form of Leighton Baines ease Fabio Capello’s pain?

There’s Champions League chat, with the pod discussing Inter beating Chelsea and Stuttgart holding Barcelona. With three Spanish sides all failing to win, Dr Sid Lowe is on the phone with the press reaction and news of Jermaine Pennant too.

Elsewhere, there’s a preview of the weekend’s fixtures including Chelsea v Man City and the Carling Cup final; Jamie Jackson on the phone with the latest in the Portsmouth saga; Sean Ingle analyses Clarke Carlisle’s arithmetic performance on Countdown; and there’s also the winner of the worst dressed manager competition. Oh, and a bit of Courtney Love too.

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.

Preamble: Hello everyone and welcome to our coverage of the 2010 World Cup draw. Fifa’s shebang – starring Oscar-winning actor Charlize Theron and colourful Fifa suit, Jérôme Valcke and featuring guest slots from Sepp Blatter and David Beckham – gets underway at 5pm, with the draw itself starting at 6pm.

How the draw works The 32 teams are split into eight groups of four, but – unsurprisingly – it won’t be as simple as Ms Theron drawing a team from each pot. Some groups may need to be skipped in order to avoid confederation clashes within them. This will be achieved specifically by placing the first two African teams drawn from pot three into the groups containing Brazil and Argentina.

Pot 1: South Africa, Brazil, Spain, Holland, Italy, Germany, Argentina, England.
Pot 2: Japan, South Korea, North Korea, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Mexico, Honduras.
Pot 3: Ivory Coast, Ghana, Cameroon, Nigeria, Algeria, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay.
Pot 4: France, Portugal, Slovenia, Switzerland, Greece, Serbia, Denmark, Slovakia.

James Richardson is joined by Sean Ingle, Paolo Bandini, and Jonathan Wilson, and there’s a distinctly international flavour to the latest Football Weekly.

First up, Fernando Duarte reports from the mountains of Oman to look back on the clash between World Cup favourites Brazil and a depleted England. What lessons, if any, will Dunga and Fabio Capello have learnt from this encounter?

We also look ahead to the second leg of Ireland’s World Cup play-off with France, and the other battles in the quest to get to South Africa – not all of them as dramatic as Algeria’s fiery tussle with Egypt.

Finally, we hear from our man in Wellington, Colin Peacock, who tells us about the joy in New Zealand. After 28 years, the All Whites have made it to the grandest football stage after beating Bahrain – but will there be a team worse than this collection of journeymen (and Ryan Nelsen) at the tournament?

Barry Glendenning, Kevin McCarra and Sean Ingle join host James Richardson in podland for a look back over the week’s international football action.

As England round off Group Six with a thoroughly unconvincing display against Belarus, the pod discuss what we have learned from their last two games and assess their chances in the finals.

Argentina scraped through after a narrow win in Uruguay which prompted an extraordinary press conference from Diego Maradona. Marcela Mora y Araujo calls in from Montevideo with the details.

Sid Lowe has all the Spanish news, including another fantastic performance from a much changed Spain side against Bosnia, and why he thinks Robhino will join Barcelona in January.

It’s back to league action at the weekend and the pod preview Sunderland v Liverpool, the Cotton Mill derby and Juventus v Fiorentina amongst others.

In the latest Football Weekly, internet sensation James Richardson is joined by Sean Ingle, Barry Glendenning and Jonathan Wilson to look back on – let’s be honest – a surprisingly dramatic weekend of World Cup qualifiers.

We kick off with England’s defeat in Ukraine. Is it time to bed in an alternative to Rio Ferdinand at the back? Did David James do enough to cement his position as the country’s top goalkeeper? And who’ll lead the line against Belarus in the absence of Wayne Rooney?

The pod debate the Republic of Ireland’s 2-2 draw with Italy. The world champions are through, but who will Ireland face in the play-offs?

Beyond Europe, the pod discuss how Argentina almost drew against Peru, the worst team in South America. Now Diego Maradona’s team need a draw in Uruguay to reach South Africa – which could have dire consequences for England.

Finally, the pod look at Sir Alex Ferguson’s non-denial denial in his spat with referee Alan Wiley, and ask is the FA’s fit and proper test even easier to pass than your cycling proficiency?
