[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. Blimey, the stress of it all. Callum Wilson scores another injury time goal for West Ham. The London Stadium erupts and then VAR, Pablo's arm holding David Raya. Todibo holding his shirt. Rice holding Mavropanos. Trossard is holding Pablo. Imagine being an Arsenal fan. Imagine being a West Ham fan. Imagine being Darren England. Imagine being Chris Kavanagh. Perhaps it would be more galling for West Ham if Arsenal had been pushing and pulling at corners all season. And so two wins at home to Burnley and away to Palace, and Arsenal are champions. Meanwhile, West Ham's defeat means Forest and Leeds are safe. Let's hope Leeds went on an absolute tear-up before Spurs away tonight. Also today, more boos for Arne Slot. Bournemouth put a little pressure on the top five, and advantage Celtic in fitba. Until injury time at the London Stadium, the biggest story of the weekend was in the bushes near Middlesbrough. We'll talk Spygate 2.0. There's the rest of the playoffs. You could do a whole pod on the Rochdale-Bournemouth playoff final. There's the women's FA Cup semis. Basically too much football to fit in today. We'll take your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. [upbeat music] On the panel today, Barry Glendenning. Hello.
