Max Rushden’s bringing the noise on Football Weekly Extra, aided and abetted by Barry Glendenning, Paul MacInnes and Paolo Bandini.

We start by looking at the British teams’ involvement in the Champions League, with Spurs riding their luck to bring an end to their Wembley ‘hoodoo’, the Manchester clubs do to their opponents what PSG did to Celtic and Liverpool have a slip against Sevilla. We also discuss the imbalances in the competition, with PSG’s summer transfer outlay coming in at 69 times the amount of their opponent’s. Nice.

Paolo tells us what’s going wrong for the Italian teams in Europe this season after two defeats and a draw so far, we discuss leg-shaving in professional football and look forward to the English and Italian teams involved in Europa League action.

Finally, the gang previews the upcoming weekend’s Premier League fixtures, Max produces a more positive feedback corner than in previous weeks and we wonder why an MP would put himself in the line of fire in other areas of his life.
