Arsenal fans are fuming and nobody is entertained by what could be the worst Premier League champions ever. We also have thoughts on Man Utd and West Ham, but mostly Arsenal. Send your views to theeditor@football365.com Does Mikel Arteta know how to coach attacking football? Not a revolutionary take here, but Arteta seems to have prioritised control over a game over all facets.

Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer “would ideally like to be based closer to the North West” but he’s committed to the Blues in the short term, according to reports. The Blues have missed Palmer for a large chunk of the season through injury with the England international playing just 13 times in all competitions. Palmer has, more often than not, made an impact when playing for Chelsea this season with five goals in those fixtures, taking his total contributions to 41 goals and 19 assists in 82 Premier League appearances. Chelsea got a bargain when they paid Manchester City £40m for his…
