Max Rushden continues in the hot-seat for this edition of Football Weekly Extra, and he’s got James Horncastle, Paolo Bandini and Nick Miller for company.

We begin by discussing Manchester City’s marvellous win in Romania, featuring as it did a hat-trick and two missed penalties from Sergio Agüero. Poor old Joe Hart doesn’t look he’ll be there by the time Pep’s lot confirm their spot in the Champions League proper.

Next, we reflect on Shane Duffy’s magnificent double-OG-red-card combo. Take a boo, son, take a boo!

Finally, we preview all the action in the Premier League this weekend, as well as the big kick offs in Serie A and La Liga and an emotional reunion for Lamps and Stevie G in MLS.

There are now a paltry 50 tickets left for Football Weekly Live in Manchester. AC Jimbo, Barrry Glendenning, John Ashdown and Paolo will be at the Royal Northern College of Music on Friday 2 September. Don’t miss out. Get your tickets here.
