Football Weekly: Gyan tonics all round as Sunderland crush Chelsea

On today's Football Weekly, James Richardson is joined by Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay and Gregg Roughley.

Up for discussion this week: how much can we read into Sunderland's demolition of Chelsea? Why can't Roy Hodgson manage an away win? Is Roberto Mancini trying to get the sack at Manchester City? And how did Bolton Wanderers get into so much debt?

Abroad, we ask how much longer does Rafael Benítez have at the San Siro after Internazionale lost the Milan derby - more on this in Paolo Bandini's Italian football blog of course - while Sid Lowe brings us up to date on things in Spain's La Liga.

Finally, we look at the England squad and wonder, is a front two of Carlton Cole and Jay Bothroyd really as good as it gets?

Tell us what you think on the blog below, and keep up to date with us on Twitter and via our tea-time email, The Fiver.
