This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly, so it'll be an Arsenal, Man City

Carabab Cup final after 97 minutes of this isn't over, so I need to keep watching on Tuesday.

City put everyone out of their misery after seven minutes last night, three up at half time, and it really was time to stick the traitors on. But it does mean the two best teams in the country meeting at Wembley and March, if City are one of the two best teams right now. City will have to be good this Sunday if they come up against the Liverpool side who played the last hour against Newcastle at the weekend.

Arsenal had the chance to go nine points clear the day before at home to Sunderland, while just about still in it, Aston Villa go to Bournemouth. Big games at the bottom, Burnley West Ham in the battle to be the least miserable team in Claret, while just above them Leeds play Forrest. And there's Man United going for four in a row at home to who knows what to expect spurs. We'll discuss Ronaldo going on strike, answer your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly.

On the panel today, Barry Glendanning, welcome.

Sam, you were there, you're a Newcastle fan. Did you have a nice time? Did I have a nice time?

I went to a lovely brewery and tap room beforehand, as all the modern football fan does, and

had a really nice pizza. I think what I have to caveat with is I didn't really expect to have a
