Football Weekly podcast: Beckham’s World Cup over
It’s a sad day in podland, and not just because Phil Brown has been relieved of his duties at Hull City.
On your brand new Football Weekly, we sing an ode to David Beckham, whose World Cup dream is over in the wake of a potentially career-ending achilles injury (although that cut under his eye looks fairly nasty too). James Richardson and a dangerously sleep-deprived Rob Smyth shed a tear.
Before we get to that, proper journalist Owen Gibson looks ahead to Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Internazionale. Plus, there’s all the usual gubbins about the Premier League title race – could it all come down to goal difference? – and the fight for fourth place. Can Tottenham Hotspur really hang on in the face of the crumbling challenge from Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Manchester City?
Finally, Sid Lowe tells us about a weekend of hat-tricks and theatrics in La Liga, and Rafa Honigstein rounds up all the action from the Bundesliga.
Have a listen and post your feedback below. We’re also on iTunes, Facebook and Twitter, and if you enjoy this type of thing, get your daily dose of fooball with our tea-time email, The Fiver.

Football Weekly podcast: Arsenal back in the title race
Talk is cheap, this podcast doesn’t cost you a penny – and what a show we have for you in the latest Football Weekly.
Barry Glendenning and John Ashdown offer their laser-sharp analysis of the weekend’s Premier League action, when Arsenal closed the gap at the top. As the battle for fourth hots up, are incumbents Aston Villa better equipped than Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City to make it to the Champions League?
Also in the podcast, James Richardson brings us news of another José Mourinho tantrum. Rafael Honigstein tells us why Jens Lehmann is determined to retire in style. And we hear from Sid Lowe, safe in his Spanish hideaway.
You can post your comments about the show – and power ballads – on the blog below, or save your witticism for Facebook or Twitter. And if you own an iPhone, your Guardian dreams have just come true …
