All or nothing for some today.

The last game of the Premier League season is the best day of the entire season in my opinion as every game kicks off at the same time. No one knows what they need to do as winning and relying on other results is the only thing you can do. In the past we have had so many shock results as it is all about the game on the day. Each game is like a cup final day with nothing guaranteed.

This season is different however as having no fans in the stands letting their teams know is actually a disadvantage to the teams who are fighting for something. Who can forget Sergio Romero scoring in added time to win Manchester City the league. It is not all about the title this year as that has already been won by Liverpool but staying up and avoiding relegation surviving another year.

At the top end it is all about Champions League football and staying in the top 4. This has huge ramifications for the teams as not only does it bring huge financial rewards but also attracts players with new transfers looking for Champions League football. Teams that miss out could lose players to teams that qualify as it is that important to players and their careers.

Half time and still all up for grabs. United went on to win 2-0 as Leicester gifted them two goals with key mistakes.

Fans sitting at home will be on the edge of their seats chewing finger nails as the scores are updated from the grounds around the country. Things change all the time with twists popping up all the time. One minute your team is in the qualification spots and then the next moment they are out. Everything to play for and with everything on the line it could be one mistake that changes the entire fortunes of the teams season.

It turned out that two big mistakes cost Leicester as United ran away 2-0 winners. The drama was at the bottom of the table though as Villa drew with West Ham and stayed up even though Bournemouth won. Bournemouth were relying on West ham beating Villa and it wasn't in their hands.

Another season comes to an end with no real shocks and it is good to see a club like United in the Champions League next season. Bournemouth may have gone down but I expect them to bounce back next season. The job of the club now is to hold on to the players if they can. There will be a short break and the new season will start sooner than you can imagine in just over a months time on September the 12th.
