The Football Daily Premier League Awards 2024-25
Welcome to the inaugural Football Daily Premier League Awards, a celebration of a dramatic, eventful 2024-25 season and definitely not an attempt to get half the Football Daily Christmas Awards done early so that we can get lost in eggnog a few days earlier in December. Enjoy! The Fauja Singh Award For Finding A New Interest In Your Dotage Meet Mo Salah 2.0, a once single-minded forward who now loves creating goals almost as much as scoring them. Salah's dual threat made him the best player in the league by a mile, though we're a bit worried about Sadio Mané's cognitive dissonance. The Gus Poyet Award For Giving In To Roy Keane At Old Trafford Sky's Kelly Cates for her deadpan reference to Roy Keane's cardigan during Chelsea's visit to Old Trafford. 'Olivia Rodrigo is watching on from the stands and we've got Cardi B in the studio as well!' Even Keane, whose instinct in such situations is to activate the death stare, saw the funny side. The Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli Award For Jumping The Shark After five years of therapy working exclusively on this issue, Football Daily thought it had made peace with the fact that everyone in the Premier League has a busted moral compass that points exclusively in the direction of their self-interest. Then, on Sunday, Ashley Young gave Anthony Gordon an extended lecture about diving, and we're back on the couch first thing tomorrow morning. The Bukayo Saka Award For Sheer Likability For one season only, Saka will have to share the award with Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta. He runs himself into the ground every game, he gives interviews full of personality and playfulness, he hijacks interviews with Eberechi Eze to shout 'HE'S THE MAN' repeatedly; and, like Saka, he scores goal-of-the-season contenders at the Emirates. Mateta and Eze symbolise possibly the most likable team in the league. The 5am Club Award For Finishing Early Brentford, who made history by scoring inside the first minute of three consecutive Premier League games in September. Reality bit thereafter; in their next league game, Nathan Collins didn't give them the lead until the 76th second. The Dennis Bergkamp Award For Wearing Boots Made Of Velvet And Velcro Kaoru Mitoma. His droolicious goal against Chelsea began with a first touch from the heavens as the ball dropped over his shoulder; the other touches were adequate as well. We could write 8,000 words on it but you're better off just watching it. And watching it. And watching it some more until you realise it's 4.49am tomorrow morning and you need to be up in 11 minutes. The Wayne Rooney Remember The Name Award Myles Lewis-Skelly made history at the Etihad in September when he was booked before making his Premier League debut. That came a few minutes later, whereupon a borderline feral Erling Haaland impolitely enquired as to his identity. It's increasingly hard to remember a time when we didn't know all about Lewis-Skelly, who went from benchwarmer to England's first-choice left-back in record time. When he scored in Arsenal's 5-1 win over City in February, he celebrated by copying Haaland's tranquil, cross-legged celebration. We'd imagine there was nothing particularly meditative about Haaland's internal monologue when he clocked Lewis-Skelly's pose. The Steven Gerrard Award For Raising The Roof James Tarkowski, who bulldozed an injury-time equaliser for Everton in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. If there was a louder noise all season, we didn't hear it. The Generic Litter Of Puppies Award For Making The World A Better Place In an omnishambles of a season at Old Trafford, there was one beacon of hope. Amad Diallo plays football with the freedom and joy that most of us leave behind in the playground, and what Premier League highlights United usually had involved him: a 13-minute hat-trick against Southampton, an equaliser at Anfield and a euphoric last-minute winner in the Manchester derby. Merseyside police have said a 53-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and driving while unfit through drugs, after a car ploughed into a crowd at Liverpool's victory parade in the city on Monday. The vehicle struck pedestrians on Water Street, close to where the parade had finished, with more than 50 people injured – including one child who was seriously hurt. As of Tuesday afternoon, 11 people remained in hospital and were said to be in stable condition. More than 50 people were initially taken to hospital, with others treated at the scene. 'My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected,' said Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk. 'Praying for a speedy recovery for everyone who suffered injuries. We are all with you.' Football Weekly is here. As is Women's Football Weekly. 'My journey has never been the simplest, and so in true Mary fashion, this isn't a simple goodbye – right before a major tournament. Nonetheless, I know this is the right decision' – England keeper Mary Earps gets her third person on after shocking teammates by calling time on her international career. It was a weekend of finales and farewells across the country. Perhaps the biggest of all came in Lisbon, where Arsenal dethroned Barcelona and won Women's Big Cup. Jonathan Liew watched a club redefine itself, Tom Garry followed the victory party and Suzanne Wrack took in the Katie McCabe celebratory scenes in north London. In the Premier League Newcastle scraped into Bigger Cup despite losing against Everton, Chelsea grabbed fifth, consigning Nottingham Forest to Tin Pot, and Aston Villa raged against the referee. In the EFL playoffs, Sunderland snatched promotion to the top flight, Charlton secured their spot in the Championship and Wimbledon saw off Walsall to bag a return to League One. It's David Squires on … his moments of the Premier League season, with a doff of the cap to Rodgers and Hammerstein. You can get your own copy too. Oh. If you do have any, please send letters to Today's winner of our prizeless letter o' the day is … Rollover. Terms and conditions for our competitions, when we run them, can be viewed here. The latest edition of our sister email is out, out, out, featuring this extract on Wuhan's Asian Big Cup triumph. Newcastle have announced that sporting director Paul Mitchell is leaving the club at the end of June. Chelsea are ramping up their push for new striker – they have held further talks over Ipswich's Liam Delap and are pondering a move for Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike. Erik ten Hag has returned to management at Bayer Leverkusen. 'Bayer are one of the best clubs in Germany and also among the top clubs in Europe,' he cheered. While Ten Hag is in at the BayArena, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong may be out – Liverpool are in talks over what would be a record move for Wirtz and are close to a deal for Frimpong. Elsewhere, Xabi Alonso has been confirmed as Real Madrid's new head coach, while Southampton have appointed 32-year-old Will Still as their new manager. And Pope Leo XVI has welcomed newly-crowned Serie A champions Napoli to the Vatican, while joking about his own allegiances. 'The press says I am an AS Roma fan, but you are welcome! This is what the press says. Not everything you read in the press is true,' honked the pope. Time to look back on the Premier League season with our annual review – our writers run the rule over the (deep breath) players, matches, managers, goals, flops, signings, young players, gripes and broadcasters. There's also our writers' bests and worsts – how their predictions fared – and our quiz. Juventus did just enough to reach Bigger Cup but will Antonio Conte join them there? Nicky Bandini on a dramatic Serie A weekend. Rayo Vallecano have secured a place in Europe – a monumental achievement, writes Sid Lowe. Thiago Rabelo was in Rio to attend Carlo Ancelotti's first press conference as Brazil manager. Lego fan Levi Colwill has become a key building block for Maresca's Chelsea project, writes Jacob Steinberg. Scotland captain Rachel Corsie tells Tom Garry about calling time on her career. Aston Villa's Bigger Cup miss wasn't just about one bad call, reckons Jonathan Wilson. Jack Grealish looks out of time at Manchester City now Guardiola has moved the goalposts, laments Jonathan Liew. And Simon Hattenstone bids farewell to Kevin De Bruyne: Manchester City's genius and a law unto himself. Gary Lineker signed off from Match of the Day this weekend after 26 years on the BBC's flagship football programme. Four years earlier he was better known for his crisp commercials than his punditry. Here he is in one of those adverts – in a series where the tagline was 'No more Mr Nice Guy', poking fun at his squeaky-clean image – taking a £10,000 cheque from Des Lynam (Lineker's MOTD predecessor) dressed as a nun.
