Summary: Anto is joined once again by former Wimbledon, Newcastle and England international defender Warren Barton for another episode that looks into the big football stories of the day including the dismissal of Damien Comolli from Liverpool Football Club and what it may hold in store for Kenny Dalglish. We cover the key factors which have come to light including some statements by Tom Werner of Fenway Sports Group who have indicated that Comolli was no longer capable of directing the long term strategy for the club and we evaluate the deals that were negotiated during his tenure. This includes the players who either did not work in synergy with one another as well as the cash for value in other deals that have proved to be inflated or have the possibility of becoming good value acquisitions with time. Then we turn to the matter of Newcastle United who continue to shock and surprise with their challenge for a top four slot in the Premier League and Warren gives us his analysis on how similar this team is to the Keegan teams of the late 1990s and we gauge whether top four is really possible given the fixture list ahead. That opens a discussion into teams who need that one special player in the names of Arsenal and Newcastle to take that next step either in the Premier League or Champions League and the name Kaka comes right to the front who might be the kind of player who could keep Robin Van Persie interested in a new deal with the Arsenal. What this also opens is a discussion into Clint Dempsey who has had the breakout season at Fulham and we take a deeper look not only into whether he could make a team with Champions League football. but also in what capacity as Dempsey is the kind of player whose versatility does seem add a level of interpretation in terms of his value. Is Dempsey a forward or an attacking midfield like Frank Lampard or Tim Cahill, a true goalscoring threat who has the required freedom to pick his spots. We also get into the comments of Fulham chairman Mohamed Al-Fayed, who has sent communication to both the FA and the Premier League as well as made some public statements about how decisions have been made by referees and how they seem insulated by the institutions themselves. This gets into a timely discussion about some of the errors made by match officials and the issue of bringing video evidence into live matches starting with goal line technology which has raised its head repeatedly in some of the biggest competitions in football this season. We also profile the real surprise story of Paul Lambert and Norwich City who might just hold the key to who will reach the top four slots in the Premier League when looking at the fixture list. In the last segment we dig deeper into the Roberto Mancini tenure at Manchester City to separate what appears to be a manager in crisis or whether he is simply overwhelmed with the situation at hand given all the off the pitch drama including Carlos Tevez, SuperMario and challenging Sir Alex for a title. Lots here including how the media shapes events in England and how the media examines managers in Italy and how some of this plays out to certain disadvantages. We close on the matter of Roberto Martinez and whether he negotiate yet another Great Escape for Wigan on the heels of a surprise result against Manchester United and if Martinez is simply fulfilling a basic tenet of the job or whether he is simply staging future stops in his career to the detriment of the football club. Warren Barton also pays tribute to Sir Trevor Francis who was taken to hospital with a heart attack on Friday and gives us an insight into the man and extends his well wishes to the English football legend. Anto pays tribute to fallen Italian midfielder, Piermario Morosini, a 25-year-old Atalanta youth system prospect who collapsed during the Pescara-Livorno Serie B match and was later pronounced dead upon his arrival at a local hospital. This death has rocked Italian football at every level as all matches were postponed in the wake of this tragedy. Vaishali Bhardwaj also makes her return with world football updates in this episode.
