Football Weekly Extra: Arteta to Arsenal and other deadline deals

AC Jimbo welcomes James Dart, Simon Burnton and Raphael Honigstein to the pod to analyse all the last-minute ins and outs of transfer window deadline day. Will Mikel Arteta, Yossi Benayoun, Per Mertesacker, André Santos and Park Chu-young save Arsenal's season? Is Craig Bellamy's return to Liverpool a better bit of business than Owen Hargreaves' shock move to Manchester City? And will Joe Cole get his career back on track in Lille?

Also in the podcast, we look forward – sort of – to England's Euro 2012 qualifier with Bulgaria; find out why no one really likes Lothar Matthäus; and Sid Lowe tells us why something distinctly fishy is going on in Spain.

Plus, we wonder how long Paolo Di Canio has left at Swindon after having a set-to with his own player; discuss footballing examples of nominative determinism; and give some props to Non League Day.

Have a listen, and let us know what you think on the blog below.
