Patrick and Ted ask whether Arsenal are blowing the Premier League title, what Arteta is getting wrong, and why fans may still be overreacting. They also dig into how Man City have got themselves back in the title hunt, break down Arsenal's run-in versus City's, and look into Newcastle's horrible slump and the big Eddie Howe decision looming this summer. Plus early transfer gossip, Tottenham's freefall and a preview of the Transfer Flow conference.
