Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly.

0:14.7

Nicholas Volta mater puts himself into folklore in the weird-time derby,

0:18.0

but probably not quite how he hoped.

0:19.9

In a weekend of own goals, his was the pick. Poor bloke, a standing ovation from the Sunderland fans when he was substituted.

Nick Volta made us 46-minute own goal.

1:25.8

You were there, Barry.

1:26.4

How was it?

1:29.3

I was there, Max. It's very kind of you to give this game top billing because it was a staggeringly bad game of football. But a wonderful

occasion for me is a Sunderland fan. I got up to Sunderland on Saturday evening and I went to the pub to watch

And or Burnley,

Fulham, I should say.
