Football Weekly: Five-star Berbatov sends Manchester United top

Welcome to your early edition of Football Weekly. James Richardson has Barry Glendenning, Paolo Bandini and Paul MacInnes in the pod, and it's a huge slice of humble pie on the menu as the podders hail Dimitar Berbatov's five goals against Blackburn Rovers, a result which sent Manchester United to the top of the Premier League.

Also in the podcast, we look back on Tottenham Hotspur's victory over Liverpool, as well as important victories for West Ham United and Wolves, and a fitting tribute to Bernard Matthews as Norwich won the East Anglia derby.

Finally, we take in the draw for the third round of the FA Cup, marvel at an avalanche of goals in Serie A, hear from Sid Lowe about El Clásico, and ask the question on everyone's lips (or necks): when is a snood not quite a snood?

We've got Michael 'Zonal Marking' Cox in the pod for Football Weekly Extra, so if you have questions for him, post it on the blog below, and keep up to date with us on Twitter and through the Fiver.
