The 2008–09 Premier League (known as the Barclays Premier League for sponsorship reasons) season was the 17th season since the establishment of the Premier League in 1992.
 Manchester United became champions for the 11th time on the penultimate weekend of the season, defending their crown after winning their tenth Premier League title on the final day of the previous season.
 They were run close by Liverpool, who had a better goal difference and who had beaten United home and away, including a dramatic 4–1 victory at Old Trafford, but who were undone by a series of disappointing draws.
 The campaign – the fixtures for which were announced on 16 June 2008 – began on Saturday, 16 August 2008, and ended on 24 May 2009.
 A total of 20 teams contested the league, consisting of 17 who competed the previous season and three promoted from the Football League Championship.
 The new match ball was the Nike T90 Omni.
The 2001–02 season was Manchester United's tenth season in the Premier League and their 27th consecutive season in the top division of English football.
 The second full season of the new millennium was rather dismal for the Red Devils in comparison to the previous three years.
 The club finished in third place in the Premier League, their lowest finish in the history of the Premier League, and they were knocked out of the FA Cup in the fourth round.
 League Cup success was not expected, and the club duly obliged by playing what was effectively a reserve team against a strong Arsenal side in the third round.
 United's best success in the 2001–02 season came in the UEFA Champions League, in which they reached the semi-finals before being knocked out by Bayer Leverkusen on away goals.
 Ultimately, United's failure to win anything boiled down a dismal run of form in November and early December when they suffered five defeats in seven league games, including three defeats in a row against Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham United in December.
 They also lost six home games in the Premier League, their worst home record since the 1977–78 season.
 They only lost three more league games all season, but that terrible form earlier in the campaign counted against United for the rest of the campaign and they finished 10 points behind champions Arsenal (who sealed their crown by beating United 1–0 at Old Trafford in the penultimate game of the season) and three points behind runners-up Liverpool.
The "Battle of Old Trafford" is a name used by the British press to refer to a Premier League match played on Sunday, 21 September 2003 between Manchester United and Arsenal.
 The name was later applied to the same fixture during the following season.
 The final result, a 0–0 draw, turned out to be significant for Arsenal as they went on to finish the league season without a single defeat, something that had only been achieved once before in English football, by Preston North End in 1888–89.
The Batalha dos Aflitos (English: "Battle of the Afflicted") is a name used by the Brazilian press to refer to a memorable Campeonato Brasileiro Série B play-off match played on Saturday, 26 November 2005 between Náutico and Grêmio.
 The name, Batalha dos Aflitos, is used in reference to Náutico's stadium, the Estádio dos Aflitos, in the city of Recife, where the match was played and also to the enormous tension demonstrated by both clubs during the game, hence the term, "Batalha" (English: Battle).
The "Battle of the Buffet" is a name used by the British press to refer to a Premier League match played between Manchester United and Arsenal at Old Trafford, Manchester, on 24 October 2004.
 The match saw a series of unprofessional fouls that were overlooked by referee Mike Riley, such as Rio Ferdinand on Fredrik Ljungberg in the 19th minute and striker Ruud van Nistelrooy's studs-up challenge on Ashley Cole.
 Arsenal dictated much of the early play and created several openings, but as the game progressed Manchester United threatened.
 The home team were awarded a controversial penalty in the 73rd minute, as Wayne Rooney tumbled over Sol Campbell's outstretched leg.
 Van Nistelrooy converted the penalty kick and late in the game Rooney scored for 2–0.
 The result ended Arsenal's record-breaking 49-match unbeaten run.
Southern Iraqi football clubs Al-Minaa and Naft Al-Janoob have been rivals since the 2004–05 season when Naft Al-Janoob club started playing in the Premier League.
 The clubs are respectively from Al-Maqal and Al-Tamimia, in the same city Basra, and for this reason a match between the two teams is sometimes called a "Basra Derby".
 Another name is often used in the press is "South Derby", which comes from the location of Basra province in southern Iraq.
 The animosity intensified since the first match, as Naft Al-Janoob was not expected to win Al-Minaa 1–0, and the exaggerated protest by Al-Minaa supporters to referee of match Khalil Yousuf prompted him to retire arbitration forever.
 and this animosity reached a peak during the 2010–11 season, when both teams played at the end of the season in the Premier League in a match, that if it end at a draw, Naft Al-Janoob will relegate to the Iraq Division One.
 Indeed, the match ended in a draw, and Al-Minaa fans celebrated the relegation of Naft Al-Janoob, and considered it a winning of league title.
 In the 2015–16 season, Naft Al-Janoob returned to avenge Al-Minaa, when both teams played at the end of the season in the Premier League.
 Al-Minaa needed two goals to go to the final, but Naft Al-Janoob played a defensive squad until the end of the match, although they were losing 1–0.
The 2000–01 FA Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the third season running which ended with Manchester United as champions and Arsenal as runners-up.
 Sir Alex Ferguson became the first manager to win three successive English league titles with the same club.
 Liverpool, meanwhile, managed a unique cup treble – winning the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup.
 They also finished third in the Premier League and qualified for the Champions League; they had not played in the European Cup since the 1985 final at Heysel in which their fans were found responsible for the deaths of 39 spectators, and were given a six-year ban from European competition.
 Nike replaced Mitre as manufacturer of the official Premier League match ball.
