The alternative 2017 Premier League awards

With the title decided and the trapdoor closed on the bottom three, we already know the identity of the champs and chumps as the Premier League faces the final curtain for season 2016/2017, writes Liam Mackey.

That leaves the last-day top- four sprint — if that’s not too pulse-quickening a word and, you know, it almost certainly is — to keep us at least mildly engaged, with Manchester City and Liverpool odds-on to join Spurs as non-champions in the Champions League, unless Arsenal can capitalise on slip-ups, as unlikely as they would be unforgivable, by either or both of the teams currently above them in the table.

But while some fanciful permutations even allow for the possibility of play-offs and Sky Sports will still do their best to spin tomorrow as some class of Super Sunday finale, it’s hard to disagree with Roy Keane’s baleful take on the fab four hype.
