The award-winning Football Weekly returns to look back on a busy midweek of European action. AC Jimbo’s voice is at around 75% in the seductive stakes, so he’s joined by Barry Glendenning, James Horncastle and Jonathan Wilson on the harmonies.
We begin with the Champions League. Arsenal were most un-Arsenal and ended up winning their group, while Spurs were über-Spursy and ended up third and in the Europa League. As for Leicester, well - at least they did the business before heading to Porto.
The Foxes face Manchester City next in one of the stand-out fixtures of the weekend in the Premier League. Swansea v Sunderland looks pretty tasty too. If you like that sort of thing.
Finally, we head to Scotland for an extended Fitbah Corner to find out why people are getting so hot and bothered about Hearts appointing Ian Cathro - and his laptop - as their new head coach.
