This is The Guardian.

Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly. Oh, Arsenal. Is it even worth getting

close if it's going to end in agony? Fans streaming out before full-time booze at the end and they were still nine points clear at the top at the time, but it felt bad and it was bad. Bournemouth were excellent. It opened the door for City who broke down Chelsea in the second half and ran away with it at the bridge. We have league. At the bottom, oh, spurs, they weren't terrible, they weren't good, they were a little unlucky,

that Mukiela deflected goal. Everyone could see it going in for hours, but no one could do anything about it. They were already in the relegation zone after West Hambeat Bulls 4-0 on Friday night, and then Forrest got a crucial point at home to Villa. Some real couldn't hit a barn door staff for Raminai Emory's men in the second half. A morale boosting win for Liverpool, and morale sapping defeat for Newcastle 2,

all manner of excitement in theory's men in the second half. A morale boosting win for Liverpool, a morale sapping defeat for Newcastle 2,

all manner of excitement in the EFL and in the fit bar,

and Barry ran a half marathon.

Wild times we're living in.

All that plus your questions,

and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. On the panel today, Seth Hutchinson, welcome.

Hello, Max.

Hello, Jacob Steinberg.

Hello.

And the hero of the hour, Barry Glenn Denning, how are you feeling?

I'm in a world of pain, Max.

Everything from the waist down hurts, Even the souls of my feet hurt.

And it took, I'm not exaggerating. It took me 10 minutes to lever myself out of bed and walk

down the stairs this morning. But unlike my friend Gavin, whose fault is I'm in this mess, he did it with me yesterday as well

and he had to climb a crane this morning for work because he forgot to take the day off.

Oh man, alive.

Okay, anyway, we'll get to that.

More importantly, let's begin at the top of the Premier League.
