b"In the hundred-and-twenty-sixth episode of Hand Of Pod, Sam, Andr\\xe9s and Santi are joined by Rob Brown, an Englishman who's in Buenos Aires for a few months almost entirely in order to watch Juan Rom\\xe1n Riquelme play. We discuss another weekend of surprising results and exciting matches - not least a five goal thriller in Sarand\\xed, where Santi and Rob watched Arsenal beat Boca Juniors 3-2 - and look at crisis club Col\\xf3n, whose players refused to turn up for their match against Atl\\xe9tico de Rafaela on Monday. Some of Col\\xf3n's players are owed wages going back as far as a year, and the affair has cost club president (and Julio Grondona associate) Germ\\xe1n Lerche his position; he resigned after the fracas on Monday. We also ask how much worse River Plate can get, before considering a thrilling six-way title run-in (San Lorenzo, Newell's Old Boys, Arsenal, Boca Juniors, Lan\\xfas and even Rafaela all have a decent shot at the trophy) and looking back on Argentina's international friendlies in the USA, among other topics."
