The Premier League season ended in heartbreak for Eddie Howe's Bournemouth on Sunday, a 3-1 win over Everton not enough to extend their five-season stay in the top flight. Despite their relegation, the Cherries can take pride in the fact that they managed to keep themselves afloat for so many seasons - an incredible achievement given that they were a League Two side in administration in 2008. Bournemouth spent five seasons in the Premier League, finishing as high as ninth However. Bournemouth...

The 1990s was, in many ways, the time for football. A heady cocktail of the continued proliferation of colour TV, the advent of worldwide broadcasting of domestic leagues and big-money international transfers, as well as a clampdown on hooliganism in the stands and a rise in the wealth of the average European fan changed the image and culture of the game at a rate never before seen. As a result, top-flight players who still shared pints with supporters in the bar after the game were suddenly...

tory Inter avenged their Coppa Italia semi-final defeat by completing the league double over Napoli with a 2-0 victory at San Siro on Tuesday night. An intriguing tactical battle was entertaining from the outset.

Danilo D'Ambrosio opened the scoring with a well-taken finish from Cristiano Biraghi's cut-back Matteo Politano was denied...

What a rollercoaster season it was for Aston Villa. Sat in 19th place prior to the Premier League's coronavirus induced suspension, Dean Smith's side seemed destined for a return to Championship football. Yet, a late string of positive results saw them leapfrog both Watford and Bournemouth to ensure they retained Premier League status for the 2020/21 season. Captain.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) have confirmed that nine Premier League clubs wrote to them back in March asking them not to lift Manchester City's European ban. The Citizens were found guilty of breaching Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations back in February, after the Adjudicatory Chamber of UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) stated that the club had broken the rules by 'overstating its sponsorship revenue in its accounts and in the break-even information submitted to UEFA...

The transfer window is finally back open and you all know what that means - more Wilfried Zaha rumours. The 27-year-old has been tipped for a move away from Crystal Palace in what seems like every window over the past few seasons and this summer is no different.

After a rocky first few months of the 2019/20 season, Southampton put their troubles behind them to record a creditable 11th place Premier League finish. The Saints looked to be a lost cause when Leicester stunned them 9-0 at St Mary's last Autumn, but their decision to back manager Ralph Hasenhuttl - when so many other clubs would have opted to pull the trigger - has proven to be a very shrewd piece of business. A high-intensity playing style, coupled with the prolific goalscoring form of...

Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard is said to be hopeful that a strong run of form in next month's Europa League finale can help him secure an exit from Old Trafford this summer. The former England international broke the hearts of punters who'd banked on him enduring an incredibly unproductive campaign as he made his first Premier League goal contribution of the season with a last-gasp strike against Leicester on the final day. Leicester keeper Kasper Schmeichel gifted Lingard his first...

With a club legend at the wheel, high-profile signings arriving at the club instead of moving to rivals and football looking more progressive than ever on the pitch, it's hard not to get supremely excited about the future as a Chelsea fan.

From internal instability to woeful squad-building, financial strains and underwhelming footballing displays, the 2019/20 campaign has been a wretched one for Barcelona - with the unprecedented finale of the Champions League next month ensuring the nightmare isn't quite over for the Blaugrana faithful.

Ancelotti has overseen one win in Everton's last six macthes There have been flickers of promise since Ancelotti's arrival in...

It's been a painful watch for Norwich fans this year. Daniel Farke's vibrant brand of attacking football was enough to give the supporters hope of achieving something memorable. But, as they say, it's the hope that kills you and, instead of becoming Premier League disruptors, they withered down in the gloomy depths of the table for the entirety of the season. Well, at least it's over now, Norwich fans. Here's an evaluation of the Canaries' calamitous season. League Performance Premier League -...

Remember when Chelsea didn't have a burning money hole in their pockets? No, we at 90min don't either. Incredibly, it's almost two decades since Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich took control of the club, wrestling a majority shareholding from the gleaming white beard of Ken Bates. In that time, the Blues have become a powerhouse force domestically and on the European stage, filling their ever-expanding trophy cabinet with plenty of goodies. To get Chelsea where they wanted to be, a revolution...

West Ham fans entered the season with so much hope but soon saw it all evaporate. The supporters of this famous old club finally got their wish in the summer of 2018, when an exciting and proven south American manager was appointed and the owners dipped into their pockets for some big-money signings. A mid-table finish was enough to raise expectations and the arrival of more expensive stars set tongues wagging. Pellegrini was sacked and replaced by Moyes earlier in the 2019/20 season...

Newcastle United are keeping a close eye on Leicester winger Demarai Gray, as he heads into the final year of his contract at King Power Stadium.
