[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. So many fans up and down the leagues just staring at remaining fixtures. Podcasters saying permutations a lot, and just general anxiety at the top and the bottom. We'll begin at Selhurst Park, Palace nil, West Ham nil. Is that a good point for the Hammers or an opportunity missed? Palace weren't as hung over as Spurs fans feared. Both had chances, but it means it's still very tight at the bottom. And then to the EFL cover up, Ipswich, Millwall, and Saints all with a chance to join them. Playoffs for the other, along with Middlesbrough and one of Derby, Wrexham, or Hull. League One pretty much sorted, barring a final playoff place and a big old bunt fight to avoid the final relegation spot. Exeter's keeper with a last-minute equalizer to keep them in touch. In League Two, I'm too nervous to talk about it. Bromley are up, MK Dons should join them. It's in Cambridge's hands too. While at the bottom, a 99th minute winner for Harrogate means five teams fighting it out. There's the wild final winner takes all game between York and Rochdale in the National League. Just the 212 points between them going into the final game. There's some exciting Timo Werner news, a staggering Varney run error to correct from yesterday, and some excited New Yorkers. All that, plus your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. [upbeat music] On the panel today, Barry Glendinning, welcome.
