A Premier League season of soap opera where football felt like background music | Barney Ronay
Posted on 22 May 2017.
The 2016-17 season still had its drama – moments of brilliance and booming narrative arcs to be resolved – but it was less title race than well-ordered title jog Farewell, then, to the year that almost was. This was a Premier League season that sparked with a controlled excitement, never quite caught fire but still dished up another digestible slice of high-end product. Things kept on almost happening. Leicester City almost completed the most dramatic title-plus-relegation act …

Pearson’s Premier League Roundup: Hammers win away on the final day
Posted on 22 May 2017.
West Ham end the season outside the top half but on goal difference alone. The 2-1 win away at Burnley means they are the only side outside of the top six to win at Turf Moor since the opening day of the season.

Let’s start by taking a look at some of the key stats from our season ending 1-2 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor yesterday.
