This week's World of Football discussion focused on two of life's greatest things; money and pies.

The main adjustments to his life have been the lack of a private jet, and the fact that he no longer has a personal stylist to decide what he wears every day. 

Lionel Messi has probably earned enough money to charter a private jet for the rest of his life though, and his finances were also up for discussion, after it was revealed he once bought his neighbour's house because they'd made too much noise.

The hot-topic of the evening was football's half time staple; a pie and a pint.

Morecambe manager Jim Bentley laid on a free pie and pint to every punter who came to his side's game with Cambridge yesterday, after the club's supporters personally did a whip-round to pay for his £1,000 FA fine in December.
