Football Weekly Extra podcast: How to solve a problem like Tevez

After quite literally our best show of the season, AC Jimbo's back for an equally splendid Football Weekly Extra, and he's got Barry Glendenning, Jacob Steinberg and Amy Lawrence along for the ride.

We start – not for the first nor indeed the last time – by discussing the two Manchester sides. Both had European nights to forget, with United throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 3-3 with Basle, but it was even worse for City – battered by Bayern Munich, with Carlos Tevez refusing to go on as a substitute. We try to get to the bottom of their problems.

Next, a mysteriously rough-sounding Sid Lowe tells us about the redemption of Ricky Kaká after his stellar performance in Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Ajax.

Finally, we catch up with what's been going on in the Championship, find out about the referee who got a bit too officious about a team's underpants, and get a little bit too much enlightenment about, ahem, body piercings.

(The journalist formerly known as) Gregg Roughley and Paolo Bandini are in on Monday to analyse the Merseyside and north London derbies. In the meantime, have a listen, post your feedback on the blog below, and if you're celebrating Rosh Hashana today – happy new year!
