Football Weekly podcast: Tragedy off the pitch and drama on it as the Africa Cup of Nations begins

It’s a full-on edition of Football Weekly, as James Richardson, Barry Glendenning, and Sean Ingle reflect on a remarkable few days in football.

Jonathan Wilson brings us the latest from Angola, where – despite the attack on the Togo team bus on Friday which put the tournament in jeopardy – the Africa Cup of Nations got under way with an astonishing opening game.

Kevin McCarra looks back on Arsenal’s latest failure to seize the advantage in the Premier League title race, as well as Manchester United’s continuing malaise, Birmingham City’s 12-match unbeaten streak, and Liverpool director Tom Hicks Jr’s foul-mouthed email exchange with a fan.

Finally, Sid Lowe reveals the Spanish for wunderkind as he marvels at Racing Santander’s Sergio Canales, and Paolo Bandini wraps up a stonking weekend in Serie A.
