| 0:00.0 | This is The Guardian. |
| 0:12.5 | Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. |
| 0:14.8 | Manchester City do what they have to do against Crystal Palace. |
| 0:17.1 | Two points behind Arsenal with two to play now. |
| 0:19.2 | Palace started brightly, but a couple of glorious assists, one from Phil Foden and one from Raym Cherokee, helped PEP to keep the pressure on. The real drama last night was in Scotland. After seeing what a late VAR call can do for the title race in the Premier League, the SPL thought, let's have some of that. Celtic winning a penalty at the death at Motherwell. Calacchion Atcho was bafflingly calm as he rolled at home. |
| 0:53.7 | So it's all to play for. Celtic vats. A point is enough for the jam-tarts. Then to Spygate, Southampton sneak their way into the playoff final. Kim Helberg, heartbroken, Tonda Eckhart walking out of press conferences. Middlesborough are still training just in case. We'll look ahead to the FA Cup final and to the Premier League weekend, |
| 0:54.4 | answer your questions. |
| 0:56.2 | And that's today's Guardian Football Winkley. |
| 1:03.8 | On the panel today, Barry Glenn Denning, welcome. Hi, Max. |
| 1:08.4 | Hello, Jordan Jarrett Bryan. Morning, mate. And good morning. Will I win? |
| 1:15.0 | Hello, Max. Let's begin with the title race. We'll get to that handball that looked suspiciously like a header in Scotland in a bit with Ewan. But before that, Arsenal, so our top of the Premier League, |
| 1:21.9 | 79 points from 36. Man City now have 77 from 36 and one better goal difference. |
| 1:28.2 | They beat Crystal Palace 3-0. |
| 1:30.2 | Will, you were there. |
| 1:31.4 | It didn't sound like a cauldron to me, but how was it for you? |
| 1:34.5 | It was a very difficult sort of opening half hour for City |
| 1:37.9 | where Palace in their team selection of sort of maintaining fitness |
| 1:41.9 | before they have a proper match at the end of the season that they're interested in. Put 10 men behind the ball, break us down, see what you can do. |
| 1:50.3 | We'll try a bit to do you on the break if we can be bothered, but at the moment, we're just going to use |
| 1:55.7 | this as a nice training exercise. Phil Foden, back in the starting lineup after a pretty |
| 1:59.6 | disappointed season, produced the sort of moment of magic with the back heel to Semenio that games like that needed. It was pretty flat inside the stadium. I don't think city fans are really expecting to chase down Arsenal at this point. And maybe six changes for City suggests the FA Cup is marginally more important. |
