End Of Season Review

So that's it for another season. All in all, pretty incredible. After the first few games, I said that the Premiership was Chelsea's to lose. They seemed unstoppable. Then Abramovich sacked the manager and they spiralled into free fall. Although all credit to Benitez for dragging them back up to the dizzying heights of the Europa League final.
Manchester United were sensational. He may not have won the treble, or even the double, but I feel that Ferguson went out on one helluva high. What a team. Even Rooney can't secure a starting place in it and he's one of their highest paid players.
Manchester City, on the other hand, endured a terrible season. Second in the toughest league in the world and runners up in the most prestigious national cup competition in the world. I'm surprised they didn't sack Mancini earlier.
Obviously I'm being sarcastic, but you get my point. As an Arsenal fan it always pains me when I remember the last time we won a cup and then you look over at the spoilt brats at City and you can't help but tell them to move away from you in a four-letter direction.
Tottenham had an excellent season, all things considered. They amassed a club record points haul this season which is great and, if they're able to keep hold of Bale, they will be in for a top four shout next year. I felt they missed Rafael van der Vaart though. Without his dynamism and creative influence, they relied too heavily on Bale knowing that if he had the season he did have, other bigger teams would be gunning for him.
At the other end of the scale it was a real shame to see Harry Redknapp go down. I really hope that him and his band of overpaid wannabes languish in the Championship for season after season. If I had one wish, it would be that he never managed a Premier League club again. I pray that his twitchy, smug, potato face is forced to work for jack all and earn an honest wage out of which he pays his taxes. As you can probably tell, I'm not his biggest fan. I've never liked him. I was so glad that QPR went down I started singing some Bay City Rollers. All together now! "Bye bye Harry, Harry goodbye."
So now that the season is over, I can dish out my awards. I would write some justification for them but I'm pretty sure they'll speak for themselves. If you disagree, I'd love to hear your opinion.
