[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. And who wasn't standing by their transistor radio waiting for the Crawley-Solford result? Well, most of you, having been scandalously overruled from leading with Cambridge United's promotion. We'll begin with the leaders Arsenal in the Premier League in what some in the game are calling a statement victory over Fulham. No nerves here. They were excellent. Manchester United confirmed Champions League football with a 3-2 win over Liverpool. We'll ask Mr. Buzzkill, Jonathan Wilson, if this was a good game. What does that result do for the Carrick slot next season management seesaw? At the bottom, Spurs press, pass the ball to each other, score goals. Extraordinary. Villa were not good. Was it in their interest to keep Forest looking over their shoulder ahead of the Europa second leg? West Ham are now in the drop zone after losing to Brentford. Newcastle needed a win and got it. Bournemouth go into the could be a Champions League place sixth spot, and there's some hair-pulling in Wolverhampton. We'll round up the EFL, Ipswich up, Hull sneak into the playoffs. Wednesday reached the magical nought point mark. Stevenage just make the playoffs. Orient stay up, Exeter go down. The user promoted Barrow and Harrogate into the conference. All that, plus your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. [upbeat music] On the panel today, Jonathan Wilson. Welcome.
