This week on Whistleblowers, Gordon Smart, Ian Ladyman, Mark Clattenburg and - back by popular demand - Rory Jennings dive headfirst into the chaos of the Premier League. 

Chelsea’s ongoing identity crisis dominates the debate, with Cole Palmer hailed by some as the only reason the team aren’t in freefall, while others question whether his Ballon d’Or nomination proves football has lost the plot. 

Newcastle’s turbulent summer is laid bare, from toxic fan unrest to transfer failures and the growing pressure on Eddie Howe. West Ham are in the firing line too, with Graham Potter’s appointment sparking fierce arguments about style, fit and fan expectations. 

Rory claims that this year’s promoted clubs have already “shamed” last season’s, sparking plenty of pushback, while Arsenal’s so-called killer instinct comes under the microscope.
