TV's Max Rushden journeys to near-earth orbit with Jacob Steinberg and Paul MacInnes for our first pod of 2013, meaning that this dose of Football Weekly Extra is light on puns but nevertheless replete with anecdote about Trevor Nelson and other amazing tales of showbizzery.
Still, it's the football that takes centre stage, and we begin by looking back on all the action over the new year in the Premier League, like QPR's remarkable 1-0 win over Chelsea, Manchester United's 4-0 mullering of Wigan, and yet another defeat for Demba Ba-less Newcastle.
Next, we wonder whether Joe Cole's return to West Ham may signal the band getting back together, what with Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard also soon to be free agents.
Finally, we turn our attention to the Greatest Cup Competition in the World, and salivate over such mouthwatering FA Cup ties as Mansfield v Liverpool, Tottenham v Coventry and Aldershot v Rotherham.
Jimbo's back on Monday, and so is Barry Glendenning. Which should be fun.
