What is the main topic of the end of season Premier League awards?

Toze 0:30
Welcome to the Football Filling prestigious end of season award. It's not prestigious, is it? It is. It's not prestigious. It is. We have got some good little topics and things to talk about, though. What are we starting with, Tomasi? So just to preface.
Unknown 0:45
Preface. Just to preface the episode, we're not doing Premier League only. We are looking at people's seasons on a whole. Yeah. Because we've spoke about it in recent weeks that the context is really important. Yeah. You know, how many games you play, et cetera, et cetera. So, first of all, we have got team of the season. Yes. Bear in mind we're sat here with an Arsenal fan.
Toze 1:04
Not like goalkeeper, defender. We're talking which team do we think have had the best season for what should have or could have or might have been for them.
Unknown 1:13
Yeah. Yeah. Arsenal.
Arsenal.
Unknown 1:16
It's very hard to argue when they win the league. It is quite hard to argue. You're going to probably look at other teams, right, and you're going to say their progression's been incredible. But people are not going to say that Arsenal's is incredible. They've gone from second to first, which is a massive jump. And they've also reached the Champions League final progression and the Carabao Cup final. So for me, that is... Losing two cup finals. Phenomenal. What a phenomenal season. It's progression, though, isn't it? And I fully appreciate, and I'm taking into context the Villa Champions League spot. and winning Europa League, which isn't as big a Europa League as it used to be. And also Sunderland, what a season that is.
Unknown 1:54
That is phenomenal. But they did spend a hell of a lot of money as well.
Toze 1:56
They did spend a hell of a lot of money, but the amount of money that they spent is about the same as Arsenal, Man U or Man City.
Unknown 2:02
So if we're talking about progression, if we're talking about progression... There's one team on there that has come up from... They've come up from a different league.
Toze 2:11
From a different league where they lost 12 games last season in the Championship, yeah? They only just eat through the Championship playoffs as well and have got a Europa League place, Sunderland. Frightening.
Unknown 2:20
If I look at... How did Sheffield United do in their first season in the Premier League? Did really well. Did really well. Burnley, did they not, that year? So it's not like an anomaly, a complete anomaly.
Toze 2:29
Not Europa League.
Unknown 2:31
But you've got to remember in recent years, though, even in the last five years, the commercial element of the league has rocketed to unprecedented.
Toze 2:40
We've got to give Bournemouth some unreal love here, by the way. Ridiculous. Ridiculous love. So sixth in the Premier League. Ninth last season.

Which team is recognized as the Team of the Season?

Toze 2:47
Ninth last season, losing all of their starting back 4-5. It's ridiculous what they've done. They lost Semenu halfway through the season and still went on a 20-game unbeaten run. It's outrageous.
Unknown 2:56
20-game unbeaten run for a team like Bournemouth is almost up there. I'm not going to say it's up there with Invincibles, but for a team like Bournemouth, it is astounding.
Toze 3:07
They'll do very well to ever break that record. They'll do really well to do that in the Premier League ever again. Right, let's stop chit-chattering. Who are we going to go for? Team of the season.
Unknown 3:17
It might be seen as bias, but I do think Arsenal, with the pressure that they had this season, and they've done it. That's fine. What are you saying, Foz? I'm going to say Sunderland.
Toze 3:26
Yeah, I agree with you, based on progression. Yeah, I think Villa have done fantastic. They're definitely worth a mention. Brentford, fantastic season for them as well. Definitely worth a mention. Brighton, unbelievable. But for doing something that they genuinely was not expected to do, I'm going to go for Sunderland. I agree.
Unknown 3:44
Two Sunderlands and an Arsenal. And this is no shade on Arsenal. Because you'll get occasionally people going, oh, Fozzie hates Arsenal.
Toze 3:52
You don't hate Arsenal. I literally don't. I go to watch, my son supports Arsenal. I wanted them to win the Champions League final. I like Arsenal. I really do. I just think Sunderland have done something that would have been...
