After a promising start, Newcastle’s form dipped post-Christmas, and they finished seventh in the Premier League table from December 30th onwards, taking only 38 points from 22 matches

What could have been for the Blues, as they were never in the title race.
Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town fought bravely but couldn't save themselves, dropping to the Championship on fine margins.
Looking Forward, as one season ends, these clubs reflect on mistakes and look ahead. Football offers redemption - next time out brings a fresh chance to confound the doubters. Here's hoping they find their form to give fans happier days in future campaigns. The journey's never over until that final whistle blows.
