This week's podcast is here. It's an extra special one this week.

Not only are we treated to the sound of FIFA 09 animator Kantcho walking into a glass door, we also get an insight into his average day at EA. It turns out, as you'd expect, that the guy plays an awful lot of football.

EA Canada - where the distinctly international FIFA development team is based - handily boasts a top-quality football pitch on the grounds.

Yeah, we're jealous too.

They're allowed to bring their dogs to work, as well!

Anyway, the podcast also features answers to a bunch of questions raised by the community over in the FORUMS, as well as the adidas Live Season biggest movers in terms of updated form.

Right now, the team of the week in terms of form are:

Pepe Reina (Liverpool)
Maicon (Inter Milan)
John Terry (Chelsea)
Giorgio Chiellini (Juventus)
Patrice Evra (Manchester United)
Christiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)
Xavi (Barcelona)
Michael Carrick (Manchester United)
Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Franck Ribéry (Bayern Munich)

The three players being the most rubbish in terms of relative form are:

Alessandro Nesta (AC Milan)
Ruud van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid)
Paul Scholes (Manchester United)

And the most in-form clubs right now? Here we are:

Real Sporting de Gijón (La Liga)
Chelsea (Premier League)
Athletico Madrid (La Liga)
Paris St. Germain (Ligue 1)
Tecos UAG (Premera Divisíon - Mexico)


All very interesting. Add to that some advice on which players in the game are best for taking free kicks and we're sure you'll find lots to appreciate in this week's sound file.
