[upbeat music] Hello, and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly. So the agony continues for Spurs. Too many people were saying, "Ah, that's it, it's done." But it absolutely isn't. It could've been better. They took the lead, a wonderful goal from Matijs Tel. Then he connected with an overhead kick, unfortunately not with the ball, but with Ethan Ampadu. It could've been worse. Antonin Kinsky with a quite breathtaking save in the very stressful injury time. Two points then between Spurs and West Ham. It is not over. Sid will join us to discuss Barca winning the title, the Tchouameni-Valverde fracas at Real Madrid, and Real Vallecano getting to the Conference League final. Also today, Hull City reached the playoff final after a great late win at Millwall. Perhaps the least fancied of the four have a chance to get back to the Premier League for the first time in nine years. We'll have the latest on Spygate ahead of Southampton-Boro, and discuss Nigel Martin playing cricket for England. All that and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. [upbeat music] On the panel today, Barry Glendenning. Hello.

I mean, m- maybe this is not the most important point, but, like, recently I've decided to do a thing that people who are, like, approaching a, a sort of middle age do, which is kind of look after their health a little bit more. And I've gone to the doctor, and we've been measuring blood pressure and things like this. And, and as part of this, I'm now measuring
