Laura, Luke and Jim convene for a bumper pod after a bumper weekend. Never thought we'd say that during an international break.
They dissect every headline and every angle after reports that Manchester City have been found guilty of all but one of the 115 charges against them. Why is it so different to Chelsea's breaches? What would happen if City get relegated? And how much has this all impacted Arsenal... and the Premier League as a whole?
We also allow ourselves to get seriously petty, and Jim has some choice words for Bernardo Silva after his disgraceful tackle on Martin Ødegaard.
