Football Weekly Extra: Blackpool add to Liverpool's problems

It's a packed pod today with John Ashdown, Paul Doyle, Sean Ingle and surprise guest David Conn joining James Richardson to chew over the action from the last few days.

Naturally we look at the midweek fixtures and, after Blackpool inflicted a second successive defeat on Kenny Dalglish, we ask: is it time a big club came in for Ian Holloway?

Elsewhere, we hail Ipswich for their thrilling Carling Cup semi-final win over Arsenal - and there's also time for Paul Doyle to argue why English owners are just as bad as foreign owners and to get the nitty-gritty on Uefa's fair play proposals.

Sid Lowe is in glorious technicolour via Skype from Madrid. We discuss the fallout from the Ballon d'Or and renewed interest in Copa del Rey. Meanwhile Ewan Murray runs us through the latest developments over the bullets sent in the post to SPL players and plans to cut the league to 10 teams.

We end by looking ahead to the weekend's fixtures and ask: can Spurs finally end United's unbeaten Premier League record?
