Football Weekly Extra: Hillsborough – the truth, plus a weekend preview

AC Jimbo has Paul Doyle, Michael Hann and Tom Lutz on board for the latest edition of Football Weekly Extra.

We begin by hearing from Owen Gibson about the extraordinary findings of the Hillsborough report - about which there's plenty more comment and analysis on the website.

From there, we turn our attention to the return of the Premier League, including Michael Owen's potential debut for Stoke, Chelsea's trip to QPR - a match which was so uneventful last year - and Liverpool's attempt to avoid their worst start to a season for 104 years as they head to Sunderland.

Finally, we round up the midweek international fixtures; sound a cautionary note for Birmingham City fans following the news Gianni Palladini is considering a takeover of the club; and wonder, after he signed on loan for FC Rostock in Russia, where it all went wrong for former Next Big Thing, David Bentley.

Michael Cox and James Horncastle are with us on Monday - we hope you will be too.
