Plenty of time to cram 16 final day Conclusions in before MOTD:
1) Leeds and Leicester fans may disagree but final-day Barclays really is the very best of Barclays. Even when there’s not all that much at stake. Maybe even especially when there’s not all that much at stake because that’s where the magic lies. It’s only the wonderful freedom from consequence that allows things like Liverpool going 2-0 up at Southampton only for Southampton to go 4-2 up only for Liverpool to come back and draw 4-4. Or Granit Xhaka being on a hat-trick after 14 minutes.
It should never have come to this. The decline under Brendan Rodgers was allowed to continue unchecked for far too long on the assumption that with this squad and so many other teams in trouble it would all work out in the end. Has one Premier League player ever been operating on levels so conspicuously higher than those of his team-mates? Probably not since Matt Le Tissier’s pre-conspiracy-theorist playing days.5) The way Spurs celebrated Lucas’ grand final moment minutes after Aston Villa’s win had confirmed there would be no European football for Tottenham next season showed they really didn’t care once it wasn’t going to be Europa League. It’s very possible that they’re right not to care as well.
