The best moment of this season. The best moment of any season.


The Kid A award for getting better with every passing year

One for the Radiohead fans among us.

Marcelo Bielsa’s methods were questioned when he first joined Leeds. Now they’re finishing their debut Premier League season with the top half.

Getting better all the time.


The Walter Gropius award for most innovative German

Dead in the water upon his arrival in January, Thomas Tuchel has transformed Chelsea into genuine title challengers. Absolutely wunderbar.

Like Kano’s 2019 masterpiece, Graham Potter’s work at Brighton this season has been there for everyone to see but has somehow gone under-appreciated. We’re still yet to decide whether Ben White is Ghetts in this analogy.


The Erik Lamela award for most perfectly Erik Lamela moment

No right foot? No problem for Erik Lamela.


The Gandalf award for best departing old man

It didn’t end quite the way he would have wanted, but 73-year-old Roy Hodgson leaves Crystal Palace as a true club legend/


The Jofra Archer award for most unexpected impact

Who, at the start of the season, had RĂșben Dias down as Player of the Year? You at the back?

You’re a liar.


The British entry at Eurovision award

Rhian Brewster was supposed to be the striker that would fire Sheffield United to the next stage of their Premier League development.

About that 



The Darren Anderton award for biggest sick note

Liverpool’s title defence spluttered post-Christmas in large part down to their astonishing level of injuries at centre-back.

Get back on that physio’s table, lads.


The Back of the Fridge award for most past its sell-by date

So long then, JosĂ©. You’ve had a good run in the Premier League, but time’s up.


The Aeropress award for biggest coffee aficionado

Carlo Ancelotti not spilling a drop as Everton netted five against Tottenham. A brief high point in an otherwise middling, Starbucks-esque season.


The Franz Kafka award for putting Czech Republic on the map

West Ham have gone Czech mad this season, with arguably their two best players being Vladimír Coufal and Tomáơ Souček. And who knows, there might even be a trip to Prague in the Europa League next season.


The Pastel de nata award for best Portuguese export

After four years at the helm with Wolves, Nuno Espirito Santo waved goodbye to the Black Country faithful this season and did so with the love of everyone at Molineux.


The Deep Seated Urban Decay award for best Mike Skinner impression

Scott Parker’s reputation as a great Premier League manager has grown over the season 
 as has his quite superb Mike Skinner impression.
