Football Weekly: Mario Balotelli kickstarts Man City's title charge

James Richardson has Rafa Honigstein and the sartorially sound duo of Barry Glendenning and Michael Cox in the pod for a stonking edition of Football Weekly.

We kick off with that man Mario Balotelli again. His late penalty sealed the points for Manchester City and effectively ended Tottenham's title bid, but it was his kick (deliberate or otherwise) to Scott Parker's face that made the headlines.

Meanwhile, Manchester United maintained the pace with a 2-1 win at Arsenal, and King Kenny's crown slipped just a little bit more with Liverpool's abject showing at Bolton.

Finally, we get up to speed with the various team nicknames in the Africa Cup of Nations; check out all the goings on in Serie A and the Bundesliga; and Sid Lowe fills us in on the mysterious case of the Real Madrid mole.

Have a listen and post all your comments on the blog or on the Facebook wall.

Obviously.
