Welcome to a stereophonic, supercharged edition of Football Weekly Extra, with James Richardson, Barry Glendenning, Sean Ingle and Jonathan Wilson's huge floating brain beaming down from near-earth orbit.
We start our Premier League discussions with another fine mess at Newcastle United. The Geordies love a messiah - but really, Alan Pardew?
Also in the podcast, we take in all the dead rubber action from the Champions League, while Sid Lowe tells us about the Barcelona-tinged Ballon d'Or.
Finally, we're interested to know when a similie is not quite a metaphor but might be an analogy. Your answers on a postcard please - or perhaps tweet them, or just post them along with your feedback on the blog below.
