Season ends amid mixed emotions

The Premier League does not tend to distil its drama these days. Eventualities, twists, turns and plotlines are stretched out in front of us like a particularly lavish buffet -- one that, over the course of a weekend, you can gorge upon to your heart's content, chewing over every development and taking things as slowly as you like.

That is why the final day of each season, on which all 10 matches are played simultaneously, feels at once like a shock to the system and something of a treasure trove. There are 20 teams, 90 minutes and no more shots at glory or redemption.
