It's all over! The culmination of the domestic and international season has passed and it was all a bit weird.... There were lethargic European title wins for Liverpool and Chelsea, which was then followed up with the Nations League where England were poor, The Netherlands were a tad better and Portugal were the eventual winners with everyone's favourite winker CR7 lifting the trophy to put them double European competition holders at the moment. Oh and also, Villa went up in the Championship...

  What a weekend! Some fun at the top, in the middle and at the bottom of the Premier League.

At the bottom, Southampton and Newcastle pick up big wins, Cardiff and Huddersfield struggle with the latter looking to not employ a random man from Wakefield. Very strange goings-on. We've also got a variation of action from across the country with trips to...
