With AC Jimbo away with this motley crew at the 2011 World's Strongest Man competition, TV's Max Rushden is holding the fort, so it's out with the puns and in with the brushes with D-list celebrities.
Joining Max in the studio is Barry Glendenning, Paul MacInnes, and Simon 'Big Bear' Burnton to look back on all the big talking points from the weekend, including that miss in Manchester United's victory over Chelsea, Liverpool's horror show against Spurs, and Arsenal's entirely predictable collapse at Blackburn.
Sid Lowe's on the line to tell us about Barcelona's 8-0 hammering of Osasuna and Levante's ugly victory over Real Madrid.
Finally, we look forward to the third round of the Carling Cup, and shed a tear for poor old Peter Reid, who's been given the boot by Plymouth Argyle.
We're back on Thursday for Football Weekly Extra. Do join us - if you can bear it. In the meantime, post your feedback on the blog below, and if you want to hear our friend Michael 'Zonal Marking' Cox on proper radio, check this out.
