Football Weekly: Everton turn on the style and the race for fourth

The little big man is back! Yes, James Richardson returns to lead the Football Weekly team - that's Messrs Ashdown, Ronay, and Duarte to you - in its latest battle with mediocrity (aka 6-0-6).

This week, having shown Manchester United a thing or two about free-flowing football, we're asking whether Everton have the best midfield in the Premier League? Plus, after Manchester City and Liverpool played out the dullest game of the season, we assess the chances of Aston Villa or Tottenham Hotspur clinching that final Champions League spot.

Speaking of which, Chelsea travel to Internazionale this week for a special date with the Special One in Europe's premier club competition. How will John Terry, Didier Drogba, and co fare against their former boss, José Mourinho? Paolo Bandini pops in to share his thoughts.

Finally, Sid Lowe tells us why Cristiano Ronaldo may or may not be, to quote the NME, a godlike genius (and if he is, what would Richard Dawkins have to say about it?)

Have a listen and post your feedback on the blog below. For more, we're also on iTunes, Facebook, and Twitter, and if you enjoy this type of thing, get your daily dose of fooball with our tea-time email, The Fiver.

Apologies for all the coughing ...
