On today's pre-Christmas edition of Football Weekly, James Richardson is joined by his little helpers Rafa Honigstein and Jacob Steinberg to look back on all the weekend's action, not least Chelsea's savage 8-0 assault on Aston Villa and Ashley Williams' even more (potentially) lethal thwacking of Robin Van Persie in Swansea's 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
Elsewhere we hear from Sid Lowe about José Mourinho's decision to drop Iker Casillas and go to war with Real Madrid, and celebrate the magnificent form of Stewart Downing – star of Liverpool's 4-0 win over Fulham, and a man who only narrowly missed on making it into the Guardian's 100 top footballers in the world.
Barry Glendenning will be with us on Thursday. Until then, we wish you all a Karim Benzema
