    [upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Game, a football podcast from The Times and Sunday Times. West Ham relegated, Tottenham survive, Sunderland in Europe, Arsenal get their trophy, and there were plenty of farewells on the final day of this remarkable Premier League season.

I'm Tom Clarke, and joining me today, we have the football reporter who covers clubs in London with a focus on Arsenal, it's Gary Jacob. The reporter who covers clubs in the South of England with a focus on Chelsea, it's Peter Rutser. And the former Marseille, Millwall, and Ireland striker, Tony Cascarino is here with me too. Chaps, welcome to the air-conditioned splendor of News UK. Pete and Tony, you've both got shorts on.

    10. Is it 10?

  11. Tom Clarke· Host1:02

    Yes.

  12. Tony Cascarino· Guest1:02

    You're, since you've been married, you're putting on a bit of timber, isn't it?

  13. Peter Rutzler· Guest1:05

    Oh.

  14. Tom Clarke· Host1:06

    [laughs] Oh. [laughs] That's- Straight in.

  15. Peter Rutzler· Guest1:11

    Wow.

  16. Tom Clarke· Host1:11

    Do you know what the funny- He wears the cameras now ... do you know what the funny- You told him there's no VAR today. Exactly.
