Arsenal win this with ease. Burnley are waste of time in PL.

Confirmed Pep leaving end of the season. Feels like end of an era him and Klopp both gone.

I expect city's charges decision will be made public in the 6 months or so

From BBC.

London taxpayers may have to pay an extra £2.5m if West Ham are relegated from the Premier League this season, because of the club's lease agreement for London Stadium.

The Hammers are 18th in the table with one match remaining, and will be as good as relegated to the Championship if Tottenham - two points above them with a game in hand and a much better goal difference - draw with Chelsea on Tuesday.
Under the 99-year lease agreement, West Ham would pay the Greater London Authority about half their current annual rent of £4.4m if they are relegated.
London taxpayers, who currently contribute to stadium operating costs such as stewarding, will have to make up the funding gap.
"If West Ham are relegated, we, the taxpayers, we City Hall, could lose up to £2.5m a year," said Mayor of London Sadiq Khan.

"So what I say to Londoners who don't support Spurs is you should probably be cheering on West Ham, because the taxpayer will lose out if West Ham go down."
Khan blamed predecessor Boris Johnson for agreeing "the worst deal imaginable" in 2012.
Commercial revenues from London Stadium are expected to fall if West Ham play in the Championship, while stewarding costs over 23 home games would be greater than 19 Premier League home matches.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

He obviously doesn't fancy managing in League Two

Arsenal 1-0 winners against Burnley.  Have a strong feeling Bournemouth will get at least a draw v City and Arsenal win the league before the weekend.

Southampton have been kicked out of the playoffs. Middlesboro will take their place against Hull on saturday. All is subject to appeal.
