Premier League report card: How did your club fare this season? 

Honours class or failing to impress: How did your club fare this season? We break down the Premier League's winners, losers, and must do betters

Manchester City's Fernandinho lifts the Premier League trophy following the the Premier League match at The Etihad Stadium, Manchester. Picture date: Sunday May 22, 2022.

Manchester City.

The champions for the fourth time in five seasons and with a ridiculous goal difference of +73 having scored 99 goals and won 29 games, it is hard to say they don’t deserve the win, or even that they need a striker, though they have just signed the prolific Erling Haaland. Football relies on jeopardy for the mutual observer to really get involved. That leads to, not boredom exactly, but a feeling of inevitability. And that’s not good for any sport. With unlimited wealth at his disposal, it‘s hard to see past City as title winners for the remainder of his contract. Again, this is not good for most of us neutrals, any of the other 19 clubs, or even the Premier League.
