Goal: David Bentley, Arsenal vs. Tottenham.
It was a fantastic strike, I agree with the argument for Macheda's goal against Villa as well for the importance but for pure amazement that Bentley's shot found its way into the goal from 40 yards I gotta go for that.
Match: Liverpool 4 vs. Arsenal 4.
Fantastic game, neither side seemed willing or able to defend and both teams showed their striking prowese to full force. Arshavin was an absolute revelation.
Moment: Arshavin vs. Liverpool.
Arsenal due to injuries or whatever didn't have a great season, and this one man proved how such a talented player he is against Liverpool. For a midweek game it seemed the Premier League world stood still. If he manages to stay fit next season and Arsenal bring in a reliable centre-half then I think they will have to be taken very seriously.
Comeback: Hull against Arsenal.
This one has to get it for the rarity of such an event to happen against one of the "big four" away. You may get this happen once a season if you are lucky. However a close second and rather controversially has to be for me Bolton's brave attempt at a fightback away at Chelsea. Megson is a defensive minded manager, always has been - but that was just something else, and something I have not seen from Bolton in many, many years.
Player: Steven Gerrard - Liverpool.
Fantastic season for Gerrard, without him and the equally impressive Fernando Torres you have to wonder if the Pool would have even been near the title race. He deserves a massive pat on the back.
Manager: Roy Hodgson - Fulham.
Fantastic season from the veteren manager. Hodgsons story this season sums up what football is about, individually not many of the players in the side I would argue are world class, however the teamwork and determination shown is why they got to where they are. I was rolling my eyes when he signed players like Dickson Etuhu in the summer - but I was proven wrong, completly wrong.
Facepalm moment of the season: Bad Season for the North East.
I'm going to combine this one slighty with the relegation of both Middlesbrough and Newcastle. Both sides had managed to establish themselves as Premier League sides and had lengthy spells in the top flight, not many people looked beyond West Brom, Stoke and Hull for heading straight back to the Championship - but these sides both let themselves down drastically. Ironically enough both sides went down for completly opposite reasons, Newcastle didn't have any stability at board level and were trying to play football surrounded by chaos - while with all due respect Middlesbrough had too much stability and stuck behind Gareth Southgate too much - and its not often I say a manager should have been sacked but the warning signs were there from the year before. I hope Gareth proves me wrong and brings the Boro straight back up at the first attempt and re-establishes them as a Premier League side, but im not confident.
Second has to go to the Robbie Keane saga, August to Liverpool from Spurs and then moving back come January, lunacy.
