As the dust begins to settle on the 20th - and arguably, greatest ever - Premier League season, Sports Mole looks back over nine months packed with twists and turns. Here, the SM team pick out their favourite games of the season.

In retrospect this could turn out to be the most pivotal game of the season in the race for the title, as United's two dropped points paved the way for City to reclaim the top spot on goal difference a week later. An eight-goal thriller that saw Alex Ferguson's men throw away a 4-2 advantage, it also served to prove why Toffees boss David Moyes is one day destined for greater things.

It was one of those days where the Premier League weaved its barmy magic. Ten goals on an August afternoon at Old Trafford which saw an overwhelmed Arsenal given a lesson in the art of finishing. The only time that Arsene Wenger's side were in the match was for the 15 minutes at half time. Meanwhile, United were at their marauding best. Everything that they touched flew past the hapless Wojciech Szczesny as their explosive start to the season continued. Eight seemed enough at the time...

All the talk before the game was over Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez. The Uruguayan inflamed the situation by refusing to shake Evra's hand, which made the game explosive! As a United fan it is always nice to beat Liverpool, but even more so when something like that has happened! Suarez's goal put a slight dampener on things, but Evra's celebration at the end more than made up for it - even if it was slightly petulant! I also recall it was the most difficult I have found it to be unbiased in a Sports Mole match report!

Less of a football match and more of a mauling, Ramires's magic touch offered the London club a modicum of belief on the back of a monumental first-half meltdown in Camp Nou. Buoyed despite the dismissal of John Terry and an injury to Gary Cahill, the Blues rode their luck after the break. Lionel Messi, after eliminating Milan from the spot to reach the semis, struck the bar in the second half. The Catalan club kept all of the possession, but maligned Madridista Fernando Torres put the game to bed. Less of a football match, more of a blockbuster in Barcelona.

I've chosen this game because the match itself was great entertainment for a neutral due to the endless chances at both ends and the timing of the five goals. Also, during periods of the match Swansea outplayed arguably the best passing side in the Premier League, which is a big achievement in itself! On top of that, I think Swansea deserve recognition for their refreshing style of play that they've brought to the top flight and even though they have dipped slightly towards the end of the season, some of their results against the 'big teams' have been commendable considering it's their first season since promotion.

Two quick-fire goals after the break gave Chelsea a three-goal lead over Manchester United with 51 minutes on the clock. Not many teams would have a hope of claiming something from the match, but in true United style, they fought back to gain a point at Stamford Bridge. It was also the match that much-criticised David De Gea pulled off one of the saves of the season to deny Juan Mata in the final moments. It was a typical fight back from the Reds, and a truly memorable Premier League encounter.

I've chosen Arsenal's late triumph in an eight-goal game at Stamford Bridge from earlier this season. The Blues led at the break before Arsenal took a 3-2 lead. Juan Mata then scored a spectacular equaliser before Robin Van Persie completed his hat-trick with two late goals to round off victory. The Dutchman's third was down to a slip from John Terry, who was having a dreadful week because of racial allegations hanging over his head. All-in-all a great watch for the neutral at a time when Chelsea's great start to the season was disintegrating and Van Persie was leading an Arsenal charge up the league.

City's destruction of United in the Manchester derby wins my game of the season because of the significance and unlikelihood of the result. For United's 'noisy neighbours' to go to Old Trafford and humiliate the champions so emphatically was completely unexpected and will be talked about for years to come. Not to mention that, in 36 years of management, this was surely Fergie's worst day. Goal difference has played a major part at the top of the league this year so it is probably the most important match of the season too. Then, if all else fails, as a Liverpool fan it's always nice to see United get thrashed.

Roberto Mancini's champions elect came to the Britannia Stadium on a high in March after beating Chelsea three days earlier. They needed another win to send them clear at the top of the table. After a typically scrappy and dogged first 59 minutes in which Tony Pulis's team had ferociously denied their illustrious opponents any time or space, much to the delight of the raucous sell-out crowd, Asmir Begovic decided that enough was enough. The Bosnian goalkeeper launched the most cultured of 70-yard punts forward. Peter Crouch elegantly touched the ball onto Jermaine Pennant, who headed back into the giant's path. Then, from the most obscene angle and all of 30 yards, Crouch unleashed a stunning volley that arrowed into the far top corner, flashing past the blameless Joe Hart. Chicken balti pies went flying as 25,000 Stokies exploded into spontaneous celebration, culminating in a sarcastic and poorly-executed Poznan. To cap a wonderful 30 seconds of euphoria, the miserable old git sat behind me involuntarily discarded his false teeth in sheer amazement. Yaya Toure equalised shortly after, but I was far too preoccupied with wiping my shoulders to care.

I have chosen this game because of the exciting open nature of the contest. Chelsea seemed to dominate the game in the first period but before the final whistle was blown, Chelsea's season had changed and so had the supporters' faith in Andre Villas-Boas. The Portuguese manager seemed to never recover from the defeat. It was also the match where it was finally obvious just how good Robin van Persie was, the goal that sealed his hattrick epitomising his brilliance.
