James welcomes Kevin McCarra, Paul Doyle and Barry Glendenning up to near-earth-orbit to thrash out the week’s football news.

Keeper Essam El Hadari and a linesman error helped England to a 3-1 win over African Champions Egypt, but what did we learn from the friendly? And has John Terry lost his form at the worst possible time?

After Scotland throw the kilt-wearing monkey off their backs by winning a home friendly after 5,000 odd days, the pod wonder whether new manager Craig Leven is the best man for the job.

As Spain win their 41st game out of 45, Sid Lowe gushes at great length about the wonderflulness of the European Champions. Passports permitting, would any of England’s players get in the Spanish squad?

There’s also news of crowd trouble between different PSG ultra groups, blasphemy in Italy and the Red Knights that may or may not like to say ‘Ni’.

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.

Joining James in the pod today, Barry Glendenning, John Ashdown and Paolo Bandini are on hand to offer their expertise.

Is it back to a two-horse race for the Premier League title? Plus, who’s for the drop?

After allegations about his private life, can and should John Terry hold on to the England captaincy?

Sid Lowe in Madrid rounds up the latest from the Spanish league. He discusses ‘the heel of God‘ as well as picking poppies.

There’s also the latest from Italy, including Adrian Mutu failing a drug test.

As Egypt win the Africa Cup of Nations, the pod is bewildered by the latest decision to come from its governing body.

And also up for discussion: the great east Midlands derby brouhaha, and Barry being the focus of an Irish radio station’s phone-in.

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).

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.
