WE ARE THE...Imagine the best party you’ve ever been to. Multiply how good it was by the number of goals Jamie Vardy has scored this season (loads). You’re still not even close to imagining how good the title-winning party at his house was! Here’s what happened…

62 goals inside the

-- more than any other

WES MORGANLOST THE

PLOT!When Eden Hazard equalised against Spurs, the Leicester captain celebrated by being dragged round Vardy’s kitchen by Marcin Wasilewski!

Last week Eden Hazard won the league... for Leicester! His top-corner curler against Tottenham meant Spurs couldn’t catch the fantastic Foxes! There had been rumours that he would leave the Prem this summer, but here he is in Chelsea’s new 2016-17 kit – why would he model that if he wasn’t going to wear it next season? Hazard is staying put!

When Pep Guardiola agreed to take over at City, everything looked rosy. They had a fit and firing squad, were three points off the top of the Prem table and still in the hunt for the Champions League. But now they’re fighting for their lives to make the top four, have limped out of the UCL and have an aging squad with problems all over the pitch. Looks like Pep’s got some thinking to do!

T H E B I

BUY A DEFENDER!

City’s backline is a bit of a laughing stock without injury-prone Vincent Kompany. They leaked 32 of their 38 Prem goals when he wasn’t playing this term!

ADD YOUTH TO THE TEAM!

The average age of City’s squad is 29 – that’s pretty old. We hear a deal for 21-year-old Athletic Bilbao centre-back Aymeric Laporte is on the cards!

Just like Paz & Ketch, Liverpool and European footy are a match made in heaven. After beating Villarreal 3-1 over two legs last week, they’ll play Sevilla in the Europa League final on 18 May, with the winner not only getting a trophy but Champions League football next season. The only problem is boss Jurgen Klopp’s recent record in major finals!

KLOPP’SFINAL FANTASY!

BUY ANOTHER STRIKER!

Sergio Aguero is in desperate need of some help up front. Wilfried Bony isn’t cutting it and Kelechi Iheanacho isn’t an out-and-out forward. Robert Lewandowski would be an ideal signing!

REASONS WHY THE LAST DAYOF THE SEASON WILL BE

CHUMPS v CHAMPS!The Foxes are still buzzing after their incredible Prem title win – and their final game of the season is at last year's champions Chelsea. What an epic way to finish their glorious campaign!

01

A SUPERSTAR STRIKER SHOOTOUT!It’s been 16 years since an English player was Prem top scorer – but with Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy at the top of the charts, could we finally see it happen?

MOTD magazine 13

WHERE’S YOUR BIG BANANA? Bring out the ridiculous inflatables! Look out for canaries at Norwich and Man. City fans with bananas at Swansea – it's a sick final-day tradition!

02THE DAY FOR FANCY DRESS!It’s also the perfect day to to dust off old Hulk Hogan costumes and other crazy fancy dress gear then get down to your local ground for a party!

03A TIME FOR HEROES!A last-minute winner to beat the drop or to claim a European spot will ensure instant hero status for that player – and he’ll be talked about for years to come. Who will YOUR club’s last-day legend be?

04

SAY HELLO TO THE KIDS!Safe from the drop but no chance of a place in Europe? Gaffers see this as the perfect time to field the club’s best youth team players to give them experience. These kids could be your stars of the future!

06SHOCK EXITSAT EVERTON!A season of frustration has made Everton fans worry about their young stars leaving in search of Champo League football. Will their trip to Norwich be the final Toffees game for the likes of Lukaku, Barkley and Stones?

07CLAUDIO BACK AT CHELSEA!Ranieri was sacked as Chelsea boss 12 years ago, but this weekend he returns as a Prem-winning gaffer. Cue hugs and backslaps!

08

MOTD magazine14

AN ENGLAND INJURY SCARE! No tournament would be the same without a key England star facing a race against time to be fit after picking up an injury with weeks to go until the big kick-off. Will Kane or Hart get crocked like Wazza did in 2006?

11

ARE YOU WATCHING, HODGSON? It's the final chance for players to convince national team bosses they should be on the plane to Euro 2016. Can Marcus Rashford fire his way into Roy’s plans?

14REDS GET THE TRAVEL BLUES!Liverpool got thumped 6-0 by Stoke on the final day of last season – so they’ll be desperate to avoid another Midlands battering when they rock up at West Brom this weekend. It couldn't happen again, could it?

12

NEW KITSON SHOW!The summer used to be the time that clubs launched next term’s shirts – but most now rush the kits out for the final game of the season. Will your team be wearing their new threads this weekend?

TODDLERS ON THE PITCH!Only after the final whistle on the last day of the season will you see a dozen little children waddling around the pitch with their superstar daddy – we’ll be looking for some father-son lookalikes!

10

A BUMPER MOTD!Twenty teams, ten matches, one unmissable episode of Match Of The Day. But remember, it’s on Sunday night – not Saturday this weekend. Tune in to BBC One at 10.30pm!

BOSSY BYE-BYE! We know Pellegrini and Hiddink will be trotting off into the sunset – but which other gaffers could be looking for new jobs come 5pm on Sunday? Nervous times for the gaffers!

15EPIC FEARS & TEARS!For every winner there’s a loser. Well, three of them in the Prem. It could be along road back from the Championship for the relegated clubs, so expect to see tears on and off the pitch!

16IS OZIL THE BEST EVER?Thierry Henry got 20 assists back in 2003 – that was and still is a Prem record. But Mesut Ozil could break that record, making him the most creative player in a Prem season ever!

17

WATCH OUT FOR THE WEIRDNESS!Strange stuff happens on the final day – we’re talking crazy 5-5 draws and eye-popping 4-0 away victories. Embrace the madness, readers!

18ANOTHER THUMPING FOR VILLA?Last May, Aston Villa lost 4-0 in the FA Cup final. Their opponents that day were Arsenal – and they face The Gunners again this weekend. Gulp!

#TEAMVAHREZ DO THE BUSINESS!

Five years ago, Jamie Vardy was playing for Halifax and Riyad Mahrez was in Le Havre’s reserves. Now they’re the Prem's sickest double act, with 39 goals and 17 assists between them this term!

1KINGS OF THE CLAPPERS!

Since the club started putting 30,000 cardboard clappers on seats at the King Power in April 2015, The Foxes have picked up an average of 2.2 points per game. That surely deserves a clap!

A FEW SLICES OF GOOD LUCK!

The Foxes let in 18 goals in nine games at the start of the season. Claudio Ranieri’s idea? Reward them with pizza for every clean sheet. It worked – they stopped the opposition scoring 15 times!

Put this bunch of players together with any other boss in any other season and they may have been relegated. Ranieri's mix of clever tactics, spirit and epic bants has worked wonders!

5 THE INSPIRATION OF RICHARD III (YES, REALLY!)

Hang on – stay with us on this! After the 15th century ex-King of England’s remains were moved and buried just a mile from the King Power last year, their win rate in the Prem has risen from 29% to 61%!

RIYAD MAHREZ LEICESTER

Where to start with this guy? Well, perhaps with the price! Leicester paid Le Havre just £400,000 for Riyad Mahrez and in return they got 17 goals, 11 assists and the club's first Prem title in their 132-year history. The magical Algerian winger has been sick all season long and there isn’t a defender in the league who hasn’t suffered from his dizzying dribbling skills. He was named the PFA’s best baller two weeks ago and now he’s MOTD mag’s Player Of The Season. Arise, King Mahrez!

No player has made more tackles or interceptions this season than Kante! He faced stiff competition from Dimitri Payet and Petr Cech, but Kante’s box-to-box work-rate all season long crowns him the king of new signings!

The brilliant Italian boss expertly blended a bunch of unknowns and Premier League newcomers together to create the most stylish, determined and memorable title win of all time. His tactics and motivational skills were spot on!

It was the game that had everything – nine goals, eight different scorers, three lead changes, two last-minute goals and one mass celebration from the Liverpool team! Just when Norwich thought they’d gained a valuable point in the 92nd minute, Adam Lallana smashed home the winner with the last kick of the game. Scenes!

Once upon a time, Falcao was a 38-goal-per-season striker for Porto. This season, after signing for Chelsea on loan from Monaco, he played just ten games and scored ONE measly goal. Even when he was picked, he didn't seem to have a clue where the goal was any more!

Eyebrows were raised when Man. United coughed up £58.8m for a 19-year-old Frenchman last year – but the money was quickly repaid when he came on as a sub against arch-rivals Liverpool and curled a beauty into the far-right corner!

Despite having no trophies to play for most of this season, Chelsea decided not to pick any players from their U-19 team who have won the UEFA Youth League twice in a row, preferring to play these grandads. Weird!

Poor old Mesut. He’s played out of his skin this season for Arsenal, bagging 18 assists (the most in Europe) and scoring six goals, but he still hasn’t been given any recognition at any award ceremony to date. So, here it is!

These two may as well be joined at the hip – they're never seen more than five yards apart! Whether throwing banter around on social media or joking about in training, the Spurs duo have formed a formidable bond this year!

Rashford’s trophy cabinet is bursting with MOTD mag awards! He’s bagged two Young Lion awards from us and now this. His main rival for this gong was Villa’s Rudy Gestede… and the less said about him, the better!

THE GREAT FA

CUP MYSTERY!

Thank you for making my final season slightly

less rubbish!

I’ve been carrying this team all season!

I’ve been carrying City for five years!

Just need to pay a quick visit, boss!

Wait, Kevin! You have your own

cubicle here!

Pep Guardiola! What are you doing here?

Just thought I’d pay a surprise visit!

I'll be having that, De Bruyne!

Will it be the Prem crown for Pep next

season?

Right then lads, meet the future king

of the City – arise Thomas Muller!

Your newthroneawaits!

Long may you reign over

defences, sire!

I could get used to this!

Long live me!

That's more than just

bog standard!

No more company car for Kev — the king is carried to training each day instead…

Now Kev's feeling flush!

The royal treatment applies to all aspects of daily life…

Just as King Kev is getting used to the high life…

And City’s new boss has brought a guest…

A new king is being crowned at City…

Being king means lots of perks — such as fan worship…

Soccerbrain is an amazing board

game for every football-loving family. The game begins with a ‘cup draw’ of eight teams who round by round

play the quarter finals, semi-finals and final. With five minutes per half,

each player moves across the board, tackling various football-related

thinking challenges as they go. There are four kinds of challenge -

Memory, Visual Perception, Lateral Thinking and Conundrums. If

you’re lucky, you’ll win a penalty and have the chance to ‘score from

the spot’. It’s one of the most fun games we’ve ever played!

Ages 8 to adult.
