Football Weekly: Nasri strikes again as Arsenal hit the top

James Richardson and Barry Glendenning welcome Rafa Honigstein and a croaky Philippe Auclair to near-earth orbit for this edition of Football Weekly.

With Chelsea continuing to falter, Arsenal have taken top spot in the Premier League, thanks to another brace from Samir Nasri. Are they genuine title contenders – even with the worst defence seen in the red part of north London for decades?

Sid Lowe's on the line to bring us the latest from Spain as we round up all the news from La Liga, as well as Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1.

Finally, now that the dust has settled on the World Cup decisions, we throw some legally sensitive moaning towards the Fifa crew.

Enormous floating brain Jonathan Wilson is in the pod for Football Weekly Extra later in the week, so post your questions along with your feedback from today's show on the blog below.
