Today's Football Weekly Extra is the first of what promises to be a rip roaring sequence of three shows around the international break, so buckle up and enjoy.
Joining James Richardson in the pod is Gregg Bakowski as well as proper journalist Owen Gibson and pretend journalist Barry Glendenning, and they begin by discussing the Rio Ferdinand hokey cokey ahead of England's double header in San Marino and Montenegro. And if that's not exciting enough, there are also previews of Scotland's bottom of the table clash with Wales, Ireland's trip to Sweden, and Northern Ireland's inevitable defeat at home to Russia.
If that wasn't exciting enough, Sid Lowe tells us about Spain's almost-crisis as they prepare to face Finland and France, and Jonathan Wilson gives us the skinny on what's bound to be a rather tasty 90 minutes between Croatia and Serbia.
Finally, we turn our attentions to matters closer to home, namely Michael Owen's decision to call time on his playing career after 15 years and Blackburn's decision to call time on Michael Appleton after 67 days.
Jimbo's paper review will be with you on Friday and Fernando Duarte is joining us on Monday. Until then, why not have a read of this piece about why Jürgen Klinsmann's tenure as USA boss is hanging by a thread and watch this video of Swindon striker Simon Cox scoring a screamer. And there's this story about Kolo Touré pretending to be a car salesman too.
