Football Weekly podcast: A nightmare debut for Fernando Torres
It’s an all-star line-up for your brand new edition of Football Weekly, with AC Jimbo joined by Sean Ingle, Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay and Gregg Roughley in a packed pod.
We start by dissecting Fernando Torres’s miserble debut for Chelsea as the Blues went down to resurgent Liverpool. Is the Spaniard the new Chris Sutton? Wiser people than us seem to think so.
Also in the podcast, we look back on the rest of the action from an amazing weekend in the Premier League. Manchester United’s unconvincing cloak of invincibility cames to an end with defeat at Wolves, Arsenal showed their title-winning credentials by throwing away a four-goal lead at Newcastle United, while another defeat for West Brom saw the Baggies part company with Roberto di Matteo.
Elsewhere, Sid Lowe fails to give us a La Liga round-up without going doolally about Messi and Ronaldo, and we hear about the rather tearful end to Fabrizio Miccoli’s afternoon against Lecce.
And mixed in with all that, like particularly juicy sultanas in a moist fruit cake, there’s discussion about Hi-NRG disco, James’ neighbour – who is dating a top Premier League footballer – and our favourite stadium caterers. According to Barney, journalists at Villa Park even get sweets and cakes. Can anyone beat that?

Football Weekly Extra: All aboard the Gareth Bale bandwagon
James Richardson’s joined by Rafa Honigstein, Sean Ingle and Paul Doyle for a stonking edition of Football Weekly Extra.
On our agenda: how good is Tottenham Hotspur’s Gareth Bale – destroyer of Internazionale? Are the group stages of the Champions League too boring? And can you make a Wizard of Oz XI from the Arsenal squad?
Also in the podcast, Sid Lowe looks back on AC Milan’s draw with Real Madrid, and we get up to speed with the latest from the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, and Serie A.
Finally, we look forward to the weekend’s action in the Premier League, including Liverpool’s clash with Chelsea and Manchester City’s trip to West Brom.

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 …
