Tis Over

The EPL (BPL?) season is finally over. As usual, it was quite entertaining with Liverpool finally deciding to join the party and making life difficult for Manchester United and Chelski. Anyway, I've decided to make a list for the season, highlighting a few things I enjoyed, and a few which I didn't:

1. Favourite team
Fulham. What a turn-around from the shambles that was last season. They showed courage against the big teams, and vastly improved their play in all spheres of the game. Hats off to the men from Craven Cottage.

2. C**t 11
Boro. Pathetic team. Absolutely nothing likeable about them. Only bright spot in an otherwise horrid season would be their Turkish star, Tuncay. Good luck holding on to him you c**ts!

3. Best Manager
Guus Hiddink. What an absolute legend. Shrewd tactician. Extremely dignified. And commanded the respect of his superstar squad. Hope he returns to Chelsea after his stint with Russia, really do. (Close 2nd on the list - Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp)

4. Biggest Flop
David Bentley. "The next David Beckham"? Bollocks. Other than the downright ridiculous volley in the North London derby, he was well and truly invisible. Over-rated. Mind you, Robbie Keane gave him a run for his money in this category.

5. Best Buy
Robbie Keane to Spurs. Getting a proven goal-scorer who knows the team well, especially when theres a lack of strikers in your squad? Good buy.

6. Worst Manager
Paul Ince. Nothing against him, but he had absolutely no idea what he was doing during his brief tenure at Blackburn.

7. Favourite Under-appreciated Player
Tie between James Beattie and Steven Pienaar.

8. Favourite Moment of the Season
Kiko Macheda. 93rd minute. Cruyff turn. Net bulges. Every footballer's dream right there.

  1. Most hilarious moment, also stupidest
    Rafa's rant. Liverpool lost it then and there.
