Newcastle's range of outcomes—6th to 20th—is just a fancy way of saying nobody at St James' Park has a clue what they're building.  •  Man City's 115-charge case dragging into another season is less about complexity and more about the Premier League hoping everyone forgets it exists.  •  Rodri's gone, so City are shopping in Serie A like a side panicking in September instead of the defending champions they are.  •  Newcastle need midfield help so badly they're chasing players other clubs rejected, which tells you everything about how they've spent their summer.  •  Arsenal won the league and immediately made sure the book deal was done before anyone could ask uncomfortable questions about next season.
