Football Weekly: Nasri spares City's blushes

Just 99 days since that goal drew the curtain down on the most dramatic of title races, Football Weekly returns for another season of goals, gurning and other Premier League things beginning with g.

AC Jimbo has Barry Glendenning, Jacob Steinberg and Philippe Auclair in the pod to look back on the first weekend of action, including Manchester City's narrow 3-2 win over Southampton, Brendan Rodgers' chastening bow as Liverpool were hammered at the Hawthorns, and five-star performances from both Fulham and Swansea.

Plus, Sid Lowe gets us up-to-date on all the goings-on in Spain's La Liga, while we also get schooled on PSG's disastrous start in Ligue 1, and learn more about Juventus boss Antonio Conte's 10 month ban for match fixing.

We're back again on Thursday for Football Weekly Extra – that's the way it works for the next nine months, people – but in the meantime, leave your feedback on the blog below.

And, if you're a betting person – or you ever wanted to start being a betting person – make sure you take advantage of your exclusive free £25 bet with our friends at Blue Square by texting 'Guardian' to 64555. Please. We're begging you.
