Captain Terry is subjected to fresh trial by Gabby

The BBC's stock of live sport is diminishing rapidly but they are trying to hit back with a new magazine show, Inside Sport (BBC1, Monday), "as big as an Olympic budget" according to the promotion. Showing us the cars parked outside Stamford Bridge at the start of the programme allowed viewers to appreciate an Olympic-sized budget. But as soon as you saw a couple of hacks ready to chew over the week's events late at night, it was clear how much money the Beeb were forking out.

The programme began with Gabby Logan saying: "It's new, it's now." But a week is a long time in football. When John Terry was interviewed, Chelsea were still on course for the quadruple. Terry said he wanted to manage Chelsea in a decade's time. He may be required a lot sooner than that. The programme will be repeated at lunchtime today, in updated form. Perhaps they should just start all over again.

Terry was being grilled by Logan, a defector from the studios of ITV and a fresh face in more ways than one. Her first question was pretty hard-hitting: "If we go back to 2002 and what must have been a nightmare year for you in many ways, and the assault charges and court case that came from that..." It was not syntactically perfect but it wasn't fawning either in the Sue Barker tradition, and with Garth Crooks at the Beeb, coherence has never been at the top of the agenda when it comes to tortuous questions.

With Logan being lined up as one of the faces of BBC Sport and with Jacqui Oatley doing a decent job on Match of the Day, the distaff side may soon equalise against the spear side. What next? When Lineker goes in the opposite direction to Logan for live England matches, will Moira Stuart be fronting MOTD? She's not doing much.

England captain and role model Terry was surprisingly forthcoming on his 22 hours in a prison cell. Prison does tend to create repeat offenders. "I would do the same thing tomorrow. They were coming at me, I took a swing." Then we moved on to the subject of racist abuse. Talking of moral values in football, Inside Sport also spoke to Sepp Blatter, the president of the game's world governing body. He is the one who said women players should wear skimpier shorts.

Blatter has just been elected unopposed for a third term, and his legacy, along with the persistent rumours about corruption, will be Fifa's new [pound]90 million home in Zurich. "It would not be accepted by the family of football that we built something cheap," he said of the people's game. Well, quite.

"Our football family are aware of our responsibility to society. We should be a little bit better than society," he went on, listing cheating, violence, doping, racism and gambling. So now Blatter is a role model. Given the murky waters that swirl around football these days, perhaps they should call the new HQ "The Sepp Think Tank".
