Football Weekly Extra: Rock bottom for Rafa

In this week's Football Weekly ... Extra James is joined by Sean Ingle, Barry Glendenning and Rob Smyth to discuss the week's football news.

Liverpool's train-wreck of a season took yet another turn for the worse when the hapless Merseysiders were dumped out of the FA Cup by managerless Reading. They were out-thought as well as out-fought by the Royals and the pod wonder when Rafa will finally be shown the door.

Further afield, Jonathan Wilson is on the phone from Angola with an Africa Cup of Nations round-up, as he looks forward to the tomorrow's big Ghana v Ivory Coast game.

The pod also reveal the true horror behind the Glazers' dealings at Man Utd with a little help from proper journalist David Conn, who explains where the Ronaldo money has gone and why Sir Alex Ferguson won't be getting his hands on it.

There's a preview of the weekend's games and a run through the rest of the recent Premier League stories: Sol Campell's return to Arsenal, Brian Laws's shock appointment at Burnley and John Terry's latest trumpet solo.
