It's a jam-packed Football Weekly Extra for your delectation. AC Jimbo's joined by Barry Glendenning and a slightly poorly Paul Doyle to talk about the news from Fifa HQ in Zurich. Despite an unedifying orgy of brown-nosing from the English delegation, World Cup 2018 has been awarded to Russia, and it'll travel to glorious Qatar in 2022. Will you shed a tear?
Aside from the politcs, we do talk football too. Sid Lowe joins us to look back on a quite spectacular 5-0 victory for Barcelona over Real Madrid, while Michael 'Zonal Marking' Cox gives his insight into the Carling Cup quarter-finals.
We also look forward to the weekend in the Premier League, featuring such glamourous ties as Bolton Wanderers' trip to Manchester City, and Liverpool welcoming Gérard Houllier and his Aston Villa side back to Anfield.
We're back bright and early on Monday with Rafa Honigstein and Philippe Auclair - so post your questions for them, along with your feedback on this show, on the blog below.
