Football Weekly podcast: The Torres transfer and a bad romance

Barry Glendenning makes his return to the Football Weekly pod as AC Jimbo and co look back on the all the action from the FA Cup and speculate wildly on the future of Fernando Torres and various other comings and goings on the last day of the transfer window.

Sid Lowe tells us about why his boot-loving amigo is being a little short-termist by swapping Liverpool for Chelsea.

Meanwhile, James Dart, Barney Ronay and an especially chucklesome Steve Busfield offer their thoughts on why non-League Crawley Town aren't the romantic story some may suggest.

Finally, Rodney Sharkey from Doha (via Dublin) gives us his experience of Qatar's hosting of the Asian Cup.

We're back on Thursday with Football Weekly Extra, so in the meantime, post your feedback on the blog below, or follow us on Twitter.
