The pod squad discuss the mounting pressure at Eastlands. Plus, that Nani goal; Newcastle hammer Sunderland; Lazio fly high in Serie A; and it's a two-horse race in Spain - again

James Richardson is joined by Barry Glendenning, Fernando Duarte and Paul MacInnes for an especially high-brow edition of Football Weekly.

We start with the Premier League, and, with talk of a player revolt, we ask: is it all over for Roberto Mancini after Manchester City slumped to another defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers? Just what was going on with the officials for Manchester United's controversial second goal against Tottenham Hotspur? And how come Kevin Nolan can't stop scoring now that Newcastle United team-mate Andy Carroll has come to stay?

Next, Paolo Bandini joins us to marvel at Lazio, who are setting the pace in Serie A, and we look forward to Internazionale's visit to White Hart Lane in the Champions League.

Finally, Sid Lowe tells us that it's now officially a two-horse-race between Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga (and it might even come down to a shoot-out between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo), and we wonder whether Cardiff City and Swansea will grace England's top division next season.
