Football Weekly: Manchester City power on as Alan Pardew lets rip

On today's super soaraway Football Weekly, James Richardson is joined by Sean Ingle, Paul MacInnes and Gregg Bakowski to look back on all the weekend shenanigans in the Premier League and beyond.

We start with Manchester City's bruising 2-0 win at Newcastle, a game featuring a controversial disallowed goal, a horrible tackle on Samir Nasri and some effin' and jeffin' from Alan Pardew. Won't someone think of the children?

That result took City to the top of the league – at least until Arsenal's game at Aston Villa on Monday night – and Liverpool roared back into the top four with a storming 5-3 win at Stoke. Question is, are Liverpool a better side with Steven Gerrard out of the side?

We catch up with the rest of the results at the top and bottom of the Premier League – not least Sunderland's 4-1 win over Fulham – before turning our attention to Europe, where Milan were humbled at lowly Sassuolo, a result which cost Massimilano Allegri his job, and, as Sid Lowe explains, Real were the big winners in Spain after Barcelona and Atlético Madrid drew.
