Biggest news of the day isn't transfer, sacking or even Fifa corruption related.

...And Then He Sent This Long One
Before this tuxedo goes back to the rental shop, I'd like to hand out a few more awards to those who helped make this season so memorable.
Unsung heroes of the season: The scouts at Newcastle and West Ham who recommended the signings of Ayoze Perez and Diafra Sakho respectively. Perez was acquired from Tenerife in the Liga Adelante, and Sakho from Metz in Ligue 2. Neither had played top flight football, yet both made a more significant impact than could have been expected.
Guest pundit of the season: Henry Winter, for his appearance on Match of the Day 2 in January. Along with Amy Lawrence on Football Focus, he proved that having a good quality writer alongside the ex-pros makes for much better discussion and analysis.
Good egg of the season: Tyrone Mings - in April, word got out via social media he had paid off all his family's debts; at the start of the season, some Ipswich fans had bought shirts with his name on only for Town to change his squad number, and Mings bought them new shirts out of his own pocket.
Rear view mirror award: Stuart Pearce at Nottingham Forest - a legend from the club's past hoped could inspire their current crop of underachievers. However, where Pearce the player was feared, Pearce the manager was pitied. Forest try to ignore what they could not forgive.
Helenio Herrera award for tactical mastery: Garth Crooks - no one has shown greater flexibility in attempting to accommodate all the best players available to him than Crooks.
The Dr Pepper award for "what's the worst that could happen?":Harry Redknapp, for attempting to play three at the back, where the three were Clint Hill, Rio Ferdinand and Richard Dunne, at a combined age of over 100.
"Me? No, you must be thinking of someone else" quote of the season: Everyone last summer who was touting Steve Bruce for the Manchester United job, who have suddenly gone very quiet.
Odious managerial quote of the season: "That was a real Neil Warnock performance" - the Crystal Palace manager immediately destroys any goodwill his team had garnered for beating Liverpool 3-1.
Most egotistical ex-player quote of the season: "But I am Sol Campbell".
Quote of the season: Johnny & Al's Football Folk on TV: Glenn Hoddle - "You might argue that being forced to sit next to Ian Wright in a chafing pair of trousers in 90 degree heat is a punishment for sins in a past life, as indeed is working at QPR"
Man of the season: Raheem Sterling. People just wouldn't shut up about him all season long. He was talked up as the best young player in Europe, then he was too tired to play for England, then he rejected a contract, then he was played out of position, and finally he wanted to leave. Funnily enough, all of these things contributed to an underwhelming season for both him and his team.

Totti Is The King Of The 10s
In response to Dave (never had a ponytail though) Dublin, the greatest second striker / number 10 of all time is one Francesco Totti.
I could write on forever about my appreciation for this man but this article already provides an excellent summation of how truly great he is.
