James Richardson's joined by Barry Glendenning, Paul Doyle, and Jonathan Wilson for the latest Football Weekly - and what a weekend it was in the Premier League.
We start, of course, with the big sheik-up at Eastlands, where Manchester City have dumped Mark Hughes and replaced him with Roberto Mancini. Can the Italian get the Blues into the top four? Or should they have been looking a little closer to home - Roy Hodgson perhaps, after his Fulham side embarrassed Manchester United 3-0?
Also in the podcast, we discuss Tottenham's naughty Christmas getaway to Dublin, John Terry's career as a tour guide, and Frank Lampard's thrice taken penalty against Robert Green.
Plus, Sid Lowe reports from Spain, where Barcelona have become officially the best team in the world. Finally, we look ahead to the next round of European fixtures, including, in the Champions League, David Beckham imminent return to Old Trafford, Jose Mourinho's clash with Chelsea, and, er, Liverpool's journey to Romania to play Unirea in the Europa League.
There'll be another of our world famous Football Weekly videos for you on Christmas Eve, and we're back podding on Tuesday 29 December. Until then, post on the blog below, do the Facebook or Twitter thang, and amuse or alarm yourself with this video of the team. Full screen works best....
