Football Weekly: Euro 2012 qualifiers and Mike Ashley's underpants

On today's special collectors' edition of Football Weekly, James Richardson is joined by Tom Lutz, Paolo Bandini and Paul MacInnes, all of whom are, obviously, utterly convinced that England are once again world beaters after they crushed woeful Bulgaria 3-0 in their Euro 2012 qualifier. Sure, we've been here before, so maybe we should see if Rooney and co can do it on a wet Tuesday in Wembley against Wales before we get too carried away...

Also, in the podcast, we marvel at Holland's 11-0 victory over mighty San Marino, Italy squeaking past Faroe Islands, and drama from Spain: a punch-up against Chile and the greatest own-goal of all time in the the Under-21s' win in Georgia.

Finally, in the absence of much else to talk about, we talk about wedding songs, poetry, and Newcastle owner Mike Ashley in his underpants. (Sensitive viewers may wish to avoid that link.)

We've got Philippe Auclair, Fernando Duarte and Barry Glendenning back on Thursday. Post questions for them and your feedback on today's offering on the blog below.
