There's a tetchiness in the pod for the latest Football Weekly Extra as James Richardson and the team discuss Ronaldo's supposed spat with Newcastle's Steven Taylor, and Hull manager Phil Brown's misguided attack on his star striker Geovanni.

Also in the show, Barry Glendenning, Barney Ronay and James Dart muse on Aston Villa and Arsenal's battle for fourth place.

Outside of the top flight, Sid Lowe previews the Madrid derby. Plus, we ask, has pubic opinion turned against the Special One in Italy? And just why has Stuart Attwell been fast-tracked as a Premier League referee?

There's a fascinating anecdote about fizzy drinks in there, and what sounds like a gunshot (no one in the pod was harmed).
