Football Weekly: Liverpool on top, and Stoke's unhappy slapping

It's the final show of 2008, and to mark the non-occasion, James Richardson's joined in the pod by Barry Glendenning, John Ashdown, Barney Ronay, and an in-the-flesh Sid Lowe.

The team look back on a bumper festive season which left Liverpool sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League. Do the Merseysiders have what it takes to finally mount a serious title push? And, after Stoke's Ricardo Fuller felt it necessary to slap his captain, we ask, what's the greatest ever spat between two team-mates?

Finally, with a tear in their collective eye, the pod cast their minds back over some of the many highlights and lowlights of the year. You can also see the pod give their verdicts on 2008's best match and most overrated player in glorious video.
