The title race (if there even was one) was done in November/December. Relegation places were practically decided in February/March. The only truly interesting aspect of the top 5 battle was whether Nottingham Forest could make it there and in the end that didn't even happen. It's only Liverpool fans that will remember this Premier League season in years and decades to come once the recency bias has worn off.

Oh come on Houdini, nobody actually remembers seasons, people just remember moments :lol: It's been a great season and here's hoping 2025/2026 is even better!

Every season has something memorable and unique about it. Doubt Man Utd will ever finish in the bottom half again so will probably be a quiz question in 50 years

Of course people remember seasons, it's why programmes such as Premier League Years are made.

And this season will be remembered for Mo Salah's record breaking, Liverpool winning the title, Man Utd & Spurs being hopeless, Mitoma's worldie goal. There's loads of good moments, just like any other seasons. Sure it's not had any real exciting final day drama.

How did Forest blow it when they were predicted to be bottom 6 at the start of the season?

Well Forest completely blew it in the last 10 games. Really poor from them. Newcastle tried to blow it but Man Utd and VAR saved them

Forest's incompetence and that team from Croydon's luck cost Brighton a European place ☹️

They were in the best position with great fixtures

They still hugely overperformed overall no matter what happened in the last two months

They've had a brilliant season and should be exceptionally proud - I think the Conference League, whilst clearly not as exciting as the Champions League, will be good for the fans and club. If Forest take it seriously they will have a great shot of a long run in the competition. That being said, I think they will be disappointed, their league form in the first half was exceptional. Unfortunately the defensive fell apart and Wood's goals dried up. They will be disappointed they had it in their hands and let it slip.

Some goal by Gomez for Brighton!

Good riddance 2024/25 season. Let's never meet again.

Was a wonderful spectacle of football, the best season ever some may say 😜

Arsenal have finished the league campaign without any players scoring 10 or more goals. First time that has happened in 100 years

That’s mental like!

A fabulous goal indeed. Brighton's second highest finish ever, so I'm pretty pleased. Just annoyed that a team from Croydon cost us a European place.

I wish I had your optimism 😆

Love that show! And agree with you I tend to remember seasons over moments generally (or at least whenever a 'moment' is discussed I know exactly what season it's from).

Salah really had an amazing chance to break Haaland's record with about 3 months of the season left to go but completely disappeared from the scene. Still outrageous to break the goal contributions record mind in a 38 game season!

You can still 'blow' something despite overperforming relative to expectations, they are mutually exclusive imo. As in say Leicester had lost their last 10 games of the 15/16 season it would have still been an impressive campaign overall but they would have undoubtedly 'blown' the title.

And yet so many of their fans still say they don't need a new striker, okay!

Also the moments are supposed to be the pay off to the drama that has been building over a season.

For example Sergio Aguero's last minute goal against QPR in 2012 which is probably the most memorable moment in Premier League history, if Man City were 13 points clear with 5 matches to go and that happened it would only be City fans that would remember and talk about it to this day. It was the story of that 2011/12 season leading towards that match that made it what it was. Top two teams neck and neck for majority of the season, United at one point going 8 points clear with only a few matches to be played only to throw it away which included losing to City and then being separated only by goal difference heading into the last day.

Leicester and West Brom being bottom of the table at Christmas to end up surviving. West Brom in 2005 were even bottom at the start of the final day and manged to stay up in the end. That kind of drama has been lacking this season.

I understand your point and it’s well made but I guess I think there’s too much hyperbole about teams bottling things.

How many different English teams have won a major trophy this season then? I count at least six...
