Football Weekly Extra: Close but no Champions League cigar for Arsenal

Having a gay old time in the pod with AC Jimbo on today's Football Weekly Extra are Rafa Honigstein, Paolo Bandini and Evan Fanning.

We begin with Arsenal's brave attempt to overturn a 4-0 deficit against AC Milan in the Champions League. They came close, but it's the Italians who go through to the quarter finals.

The Rossoneri will be joined in the last eight by Barcelona - for whom Lionel Messi proved he is once again quite the player by scoring five against Bayer Leverkeusen - and this year's surprise package Apoel Nicosia. Nassos Stylianou from the Cyprus Mail tells us about the mighty Greek-Cypriots.

Finally, we look ahead to weekend's Premier League fixtures, including the six-pointer between Wolves and Blackburn, and Tottenham's trip to Everton.

Rob Smyth and Philippe Auclair will be along on Monday. In the meantime, have a listen and leave your feedback on the blog below.
