BBC Sport asked its network of fan writers to hand in a report card on every Premier League club’s campaign. Each contributor rated the season on a ten‑point scale, named the overriding emotion and highlighted the best moment, player of the season, unsung hero, biggest disappointment and a summer priority. The initiative mirrors the rise of supporter‑driven commentary.

Fans labelled Liverpool’s title chase as “utter boredom” while Brighton fans celebrated a late‑winner against Manchester United as their season’s high point. Arsenal’s squad rotation earned praise as an unsung hero, whereas Tottenham’s defensive frailties emerged as the biggest disappointment. These insights also highlight regional differences in expectations. Responses also revealed what changes supporters expect during the transfer window.

The poll aggregates 20‑plus club pages, giving a snapshot of fan morale ahead of preseason. It shows that clubs finishing outside the top six face pressure to overhaul tactics, while those with European spots can build on identified strengths. BBC Sport’s fan‑driven grading now sits as a barometer for club‑level expectations. It will likely influence how clubs communicate with their bases.
