Summary
The Gunners finally get over the line and win their first title in 22 years, while Spurs are still in the relegation battle.
Jimbo, Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare and Adrian Clarke have a LOT to discuss.
Man City’s draw at Bournemouth sees Mikel Arteta’s side confirmed as champions, after three consecutive years as runners up. How did they do it and can they do it again?
It looks to be all change at City with the news that Pep Guardiola is set to leave the club in the summer. After a decade of dominance, what next for City, potentially under Enzo Maresca?
The relegation battle will go down to the last day after Spurs are beaten at Stamford Bridge to set up a nail-biting final Sunday as West Ham look to survive.
And on a remarkably newsworthy day, Southampton are thrown out of the Championship play-off final and deducted points after Spygate to be replaced by Middlesbrough on Saturday.
