Football Weekly Extra: World Cup qualifiers, and where is Franny Jeffers?

James Richardson has Amy Lawrence, Paul Doyle and Rob Smyth in the pod for one of our infamous international preview shows.

We do our very best to look forward to the key fixtures in the World Cup qualifiers, including England's 1-0 victory over San Marino, a must-win game for Chris Coleman's as Wales take on Scotland, and Ireland's inevitable tonking at home to Germany.

Also in the podcast, we discuss diving, oddball managerial motivational techniques, and Newcastle's controversial sponsorship deal with Wonga, before marveling at Francis Jeffers' latest career move – to Maltese side Floriana, since you asked– and praising other English exports who have taken their skills to far flung places.

Yup, it's a classic edition of Football Weekly Extra.

Barry Glendenning, John Ashdown and James Dart will be struggling to fill pod airtime on Monday. Your suggestions for some topics are most welcome.
