| 0:13.3 | Hello and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly, a huge win for Nottingham for us at the bottom |
| 0:16.9 | of the Premier League. West Ham were a little unlucky, a second goal disallowed just before the |
| 0:20.6 | Equaliser and the agony of Alphonse Ariola, punching Morgan Gibbs White in the head because the ball had gone. Poor Sad, Nuno, does this result mean the bottom three has done a week into the new year? Liam Roshenia arrives at Chelsea, Martin O'Neill arrives at Celtic again, and Darren Fletcher says he runs every big decision past Sir Alex |
| 0:38.0 | seems time consuming. In the EFL how serious is the Coventry wobble? Could Preston or Mill |
| 0:42.6 | will last the course? We'll do a league one and league two roundup as Cambridge of two points off |
| 0:46.7 | the automatics. All that plus your questions and that's the day's Guardian Football Weekly. |
| 0:54.0 | On the panel today George Eleg from Not the Top 20. Hello. Hello. Welcome, Barry |
| 0:58.5 | Glenn Denning. Hi, Max. And Sani Woodrow, Vagel. I must credit you with the time-consuming Darren |

| 1:21.8 | later. 18? Okay, blindly. Not that we were counting. Anyway, let's start |
| 1:27.5 | the London Stadium. |
| 1:28.3 | West Ham 1, |
| 1:28.8 | Notting Forest 2. |
| 1:29.7 | Martin says, |
| 1:30.3 | just looking forward to the No-voice note, I presume we've already written one. Tangi says, instead of the post-pod voice note, can you do the pod as though Nuno has already been sacked? Yeah, if you're listening to this, Nuno has been sacked. |
| 1:42.0 | There's seven points behind Forrest. |
| 1:43.7 | It's such a huge result, Barry. |
| 1:46.1 | And I really feel... |
| 1:47.8 | I mean, Nuno has been sacked. They're seven points behind Forrest. It's such a huge result, Barry. And I really feel, I mean, Nuno, we were saying before we came in here, Nuno does sad, like no one else does sad, but I think he was really unlucky in this. I'm not sure about that.
