Football Weekly Extra: Arsène Wenger's hideous creation

James Richardson sits down with Barry Glendenning, John Ashdown and Paul MacInnes to discuss Chelsea v Monterrey.

But it wasn't the only match being played on Thursday morning: Sid Lowe joins us on the line from the touchline of a reporters' game. There's talk of – shock – Lionel Messi scoring two goals and critics trying and take away his goalscoring record.

Plus we preview all the Premier League games at the weekend, the story of Udinese's lone away fan and a scandalous encounter in São Paulo involving an Argentinian side, the police and a metal pipe.

Please leave your thoughts below and perhaps help us with this question: what's the biggest loss on a player sold and then bought again by a club?
