| 0:02.7 | Hi there, this is the Athletic FC podcast. |
| 0:07.1 | It's the weekend preview and it is Match Day 38. |
| 0:10.7 | Thank you. I'm Adam Leventhal and with me for this final weekend preview of the season is Tim Spears. |
| 0:35.7 | Are you excited for the final day? I haven't really thought about it until just now. Oh. But yeah, I guess so. Yeah, last day is always fun, isn't it? It should be. Something unexpected always happens, right? Always. Not necessarily result-wise, but, you know. Like a twist in that. Oh, they've scored. A bit of Jeopardy. We know you're like a bit of Jeopardy. Yeah, you want Jeopardy, don't you? John Jeopardy McKenzie is here as well. How are you? Yeah, good. Also, looking forward to the end of the season, but I guess a big part of my job is like noticing things, and by the end of the season, there's much less to notice than at the beginning so I'm |
| 1:10.8 | ready for a reset over the summer and then we can get back to it next season. I know it only |
| 1:15.3 | sort of is alluded to in football and they say teams are on the beach but you're in the studio |
| 1:20.8 | in shorts. It doesn't often happen that a pundit or an expert is on the beach. I'm on the beach, yeah. I've got my bath towel |

| 1:43.9 | alternative awards. |
| 1:46.2 | It is the final fixture formation of the season. I mean, I didn't know how to sort of set it up, |
| 1:52.2 | but I think there is only one way that you can. You know, there are often games on a Friday |
| 1:56.5 | and a Saturday and a Monday. So the fixture formation for this week is a 0-0-10-0. |
| 2:04.5 | That would be tricky to play through that would. But once you got through, you'd think |
| 2:08.1 | there's a lot of space in behind. You started tweeting this as well on this recently. What did you |
| 2:12.5 | say today? It's a 911-a or. All season. It's a fixture formation. |
| 2:18.5 | I think it educates. |
| 2:22.1 | Let's people know the sort of the cadence of their games over the weekend. |
| 2:27.8 | Let's deal with all of those 10 games on Sunday, all kicking off at 4 o'clock. |
| 2:31.0 | The focus is obviously going to be firmly on the title race. |
