Football Weekly: Man City win the derby to edge towards the title

AC Jimbo is joined by Barry Glendenning, Jacob Steinberg and (drum roll, please) Barney Ronay for a special Tuesday edition of Football Weekly, held back 24 hours so we could analyse the Manchester derby. A wise decision? Well, City won a disappointing game to give them the edge in the title race – but why were United so negative, and is there another twist left in this title race?

Next, we look back on the action from the weekend, not least another amazing performance from Wigan as they walloped Newcastle 4-0, and Chelsea's 6-1, Fernando Torres-inspired mauling of QPR.

Finally, we discuss the two big managerial stories of the past week: Pep Guardiola's decision to step down as head coach of Barcelona, and the FA's imminent appointment of Roy Hodgson as the new England boss.

Amy Lawrence and Paul Doyle will be with us on Thursday. Until then, have a listen and post your opprobrium on the blog below.
