[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. Oh, Arsenal, is it even worth getting close if it's gonna end in agony? Fans streaming out before full time, boos at the end, and they were still nine points clear at the top at the time. But it felt bad, and it was bad. Bournemouth were excellent. It opened the door for City, who broke down Chelsea in the second half and ran away with it at The Bridge. We have league. At the bottom, ah, Spurs. They weren't terrible. They weren't good. They were a little unlucky. That Mukiele deflected goal, everyone could see it going in for hours, but no one could do anything about it. They were already in the relegation zone after West Ham beat Wolves 4-0 on Friday night. And then Forest got a crucial point at home to Villa. Some real couldn't hit a barn door stuff from Unai Emery's men in the second half. A morale-boosting win for Liverpool, a morale-sapping defeat for Newcastle too. All manner of excitement in the EFL and in the Fitbar, and Barry ran a half-marathon. Wild times we are living in. All that, plus your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. [upbeat music] On the panel today, Seb Hutchinson. Welcome.

Uh, [laughs] I'm in a world of pain, Max. [laughing] Everything from the waist down hurts. Even the soles of my feet hurt.
