| 0:13.4 | Hello and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly, Southampton knock Arsenal out of the |
| 0:16.9 | FA Cup to set up a semi-final with Manchester City. |
| 0:19.5 | Shea Charles, side footing into the |
| 0:21.0 | net with five minutes to go. They were the better side for almost all of it. Hands up, if you'd heard of Leo Cienza before the game. He was brilliant. So that's half the quadruple over for Mikhail Artetta. The two big ones to come, but people are readying the bottle gifts, a huge test of the gunner's mentality now. |
| 0:36.5 | Is it time up for Arna Slot? |
| 0:37.9 | Liverpool swatted aside at the Etihad. |
| 0:39.8 | They had a couple of chances early on, but once City led from another Virgil Van Dyke mistake, they had nothing. Their big players aren't performing, and rightly or wrongly, it'll take something extraordinary for Slot to keep his job now. You might have looked at West Ham Leads on Sunday and thought, not for me, but it was probably the game of the round. |
| 0:54.6 | An incredible comeback and a debutant in gold for penalties, and in the end, the first semi-final for Leeds since 1987. They'll play Chelsea after Port Vale held out for 64 seconds or something before opening the floodgates. Also today, Fitbar's getting tight.

| 1:12.9 | We'll do all that, answer your |
| 1:13.9 | questions and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. |
| 1:19.0 | On the panel today, Barry Glendanning, welcome. |
| 1:22.0 | This is insane. Can we skip straight to the end, please? |
| 1:26.1 | I was going to say, you'll be a wreck for the whole of the pod. John Bruin, welcome. Hello, Max. And welcome Dan Bardell. Hello, Max. Ian says, is the quadruple bottling on? Oliver says, our Arsenal doom, could this be their worst season ever if Spurs stay up? Southampton 2, Arsenal 1. It was a brilliant game, Barry, |
| 1:45.2 | and we'll of course get to the Arsenal bit, |
| 1:47.1 | which I suspect neutrals are foaming at the mouth to hear. |
| 1:50.6 | But should we begin with Southampton? |
| 1:52.2 | Because they were absolutely brilliant in this game. |
| 1:55.8 | Yeah, and those of us who don't pay a huge amount of the attention to the championship are used to |
| 2:03.7 | Southampton, you know, haven't seen them last season when they were absolutely diabolical. |
| 2:09.3 | I was just completely shocked to see how good they were. |
| 2:12.8 | I think this is now their 16th game unbeaten. |
