Football Weekly Extra: A five-star Champions League display

James Richardson and the motley crew are back to apply forensic-style analysis to this week's Champions League fixtures and seek a portent ahead of this weekend's Premier League games. James is joined by Paul Doyle, Scott Murray and James Dart.

First under the microscope is Arsenal and Chelsea's form in the Champions League ahead of Sunday's derby. Arsenal's 3-1 win at Partizan Belgrade with the help of a more confident Lukasz Fabianski between the posts and Chelsea's 2-0 triumph over Marseille points to a challenge for both London rivals.

Sid Lowe reports from the hustle and bustle of crossing the road in Barcelona to give us his insight into Manchester United's 1-0 win over Valencia.

There's also the pod's verdict on wins for Tottenham and Rangers, the English lower leagues and a look ahead to the rest of this weekend's action.

All that and of course many witty and wise contributions to the very lively Football Weekly message boards on this action-packed Football Weekly Extra. Give us your feedback on the blog below, or follow on Twitter and Facebook.
