Football Weekly: Mesut Özil shines as Arsenal go top

On today's Football Weekly, AC Jimbo and Barry Glendenning are joined by Barney Ronay and Michael Cox to cogitate and regurgitate all the bits and bobs from the weekend in the Premier League, including a sparkling debut for Mesut Özil for table-topping Arsenal, Everton's defeat of Chelsea, and more points dropped by Manchester City.

Next, we gaze ahead to opening fixtures in the Champions League proper. Will David Moyes be found out in his first European night in charge of Manchester United as they welcome Bayer Leverkusen? Maybe ust go and hide in the bushes to watch them train, like this chap at Genoa.

Finally, we hear from Sid Lowe about Gareth Bale's first goal for Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo's eye-watering new contract, and why our exiled friend has no love for Status Quo.

Have a listen and let us know what you think.
