Football Weekly Extra: Laudrup, Kinnear and Europe's tightest title race

On this week's Football Weekly Extra, AC Jimbo is joined by Barry Glendenning, Iain Macintosh and Paul Doyle to look ahead to a cracking weekend in the Premier League.

We start with the South Wales derby, where Cardiff are looking to complete the double over the near-neighbours Swansea, who've only gone and sacked their manager Michael Laudrup in the build-up!

That sacking knocked Joe Kinnear's departure from Newcastle off the back pages. Will the Magpies bounce back from the loss of their director of football and recover to overcome a Chelsea side that proved Manchester City are anything but unbeatable.

After balking at David Beckham's decision to own an MLS franchise in Miaimi, we turn our attention to Europe, not least the Eredivisie, which, as our friend Michiel Jongsma tells us, is home to the tightest title race in Europe.

Philippe Auclair and Michael Cox are with us on Monday, and if you can't wait that long, check out Jimbo's paper review on Friday, and be sure to sign up to our brand new World Cup Fiver email.
