It’s Thursday, and that means it’s time for Football Weekly Extra. James Richardson is joined by Sean Ingle, Paolo Bandini and Rob Smyth to chew over the week’s events, including moves at Manchester City, Spurs’s whipping at the hands of Young Boys and that plastic pitch.

From Spain, Sid Lowe tells us about the presentation of Mesut Ozil – and, following details of new women’s toilets being installed at Camp Nou, the pod discus about whether men should be allowed to use them.

Elswhere Amy Lawrence looks into recent goings-on in French football, including Nicolas Anelka’s 18 match ban, and ponders why the top clubs are struggling at the start of the season. And there’s also more on the worst-ever debuts, your posts, a look ahead to some of the weekend’s fixtures – and AC Jimbo’s damning verdict on Sky’s Monday Night Football.

Have a listen and post your feedback below. We’re also on iTunes, Facebook and Twitter, and if you enjoy this type of thing, get your daily dose of football with our tea-time email, the Fiver.
