So no comments on the Arsenal match with Burnley today? Okay.

I couldn’t watch, I was busy all afternoon.

If Man City drops points today at Bournemouth, Arsenal are champions and get the honor walk on Sunday at Selhurst Park. Up the Cherries!

Chelsea 2-1 Spurs. So there's still a relegation battle left with Spurs on 38 points and West Ham on 36. West Ham, though, need a win and a Spurs loss, given that the difference in GD is -10 vs -22

Spurs v. Everton
West Ham v. Leeds

Neither visitor is playing for anything except pride. Everton could climb into the top half of the table with help from others. But they haven’t won a match since March 21. Leeds finished on a nice run to escape relegation, they haven’t lost in the league since March 3

The Saints admitted spying on other teams during training; Oxford United in December, Ipswich in April and Boro in May. Southampton have also been docked 4 points for next season.

The final is Saturday.

One more thing…by grabbing a point today, Bournemouth guaranteed a spot in the Europa League, playing European football for the first time in their history.
