Arsenal's title triumph is already being felt in the dressing room, with Mikel Merino opening up on what ending a twenty-two year wait for the Premier League really meant. The Spaniard made clear this one hit differently than any European run, a statement that tells you everything about where this club's identity lives right now.
Meanwhile, the fallout from that same Arsenal win keeps rolling, because West Ham goalkeeper coach Rui Barbosa has been handed a two-match touchline ban and an eight thousand pound fine for his conduct during the defeat at the Emirates. The FA confirmed the punishment, and Barbosa won't be on the sideline as the Hammers fight to stay in the top flight.
And speaking of that fight, Tottenham are in genuine trouble, sitting just two points above the relegation zone ahead of Sunday's clash with Everton. Now captain Cristian Romero has flown to Argentina this week, sending the fanbase into a fury at the worst possible moment. Spurs need every voice, every leader, every body in that building, and their captain is on a different continent.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
