What happened in the dramatic Arsenal vs West Ham match?
Coming up on today's show, sort of sums things up a little bit that VAR could decide who wins the league. If I were a West Ham fan or indeed a Manchester City fan, I think I'd be a little bit... angry tonight.
What if they win the double, the Champions League and the Premier League? That would be remarkable.
They've just got to win three more games. This will be the day that Arsenal look back and think, we did it that day.
I don't believe the title race is over yet, though, guys. I just think there's another twist. I mean, Bournemouth.
Bournemouth's incredible, isn't it? There's a real proper chance now that they could be playing in the Champions League, yet their manager is not going to be the one that is going to manage them in the Champions League if they get there.
Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Michael Richards, Alan Shearer and me, Gary Lineker. Another pivotal weekend in the Premier League title race. But before that, Big Meeks, you've been busy today.
Was VAR's decision correct in the title race context?
Yes, Mech Savers, Wall-E. I went down, we had another game, another win for Big Meeks and the team. Three out of three. I set them a target of 15 points. They've absolutely knocked it out of the park. They've got 29 points and have finished in the top four from the worst team in the whole of the Great Britain. How good is that?
Big weeks is in for manager of the month or manager of the year.
The Oracle's at it again, don't worry. I think job offers could start to come in. I do. You know, there's one or two clubs. I think there'll definitely be availability. I'd miss you guys too much, wouldn't I? We'd miss you though.
How does Manchester City's recent performance affect the title race?
You can't be doing that because then we'd have to slag you off even more.
Imagine that.
What about you guys? How's your weekend been? My weekend's been brilliant. I've been in Belfast. I've been playing the world number one golf course, Royal County Down.
Oh, it's beautiful.
How was the weather? The weather was incredible. Beautiful. One day was a little bit windy, but the next was clear blue sky. No wind. It was just amazing.
What a spot.
What is the significance of Bournemouth's rise in the league?
You played all right, didn't you?
Well, the first day I was okay. The second day I had one of the best rounds of my life.
I could tell. You could just tell from your demeanor.
And the third day, I had one of the worst rounds of my life. You'd have settled for that going in. Yeah, I would, yeah.

How did Arsenal's substitutions impact their performance?
Russell. Russell, yeah. So it was lovely, actually. Yeah, nice bit of company. Very nice. Couple of glasses of wine. And then obviously I kicked them out to watch the football. All in all, it was most enjoyable. Let's talk some football. Well, after this. This episode is powered by Fuse Energy. Before we kick off a quick pre-match warm-up from Fuse, a question on the teams and players who make things count. Which Premier League team scored the most goals via substitutes in 24-25 season?
I'll just go with the top one, Brighton.
Al?
What are the implications of Arsenal winning the Premier League?
Bournemouth. I can tell you now that Alan is wrong. Who? Micah, going with Brighton, is wrong.
No!
The correct answer is Fulham. The closest to getting the number of goals that Fulham scored from the bench wins.
I'm going to guess 14.
Micah? I'll go 17. Well, Alan, 14. You were absolutely just three away because Micah with 17 is spot on.
Spot on! No!
