Football Weekly: Chelsea's Manchester City malaise and fantastic Flamengo

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).

Have a listen and post you thoughts on the blog below, or find us on Facebook and Twitter. Be nice to your own kind...
