My memory is crap for football seasons in the past, but yes, I don't think there are more than about 4 where we had nothing realistcally to play for with 3 or 4 games left.
Depends what you count as drama. We’ve not gone to the last day for either relegation or promotion since 2016. Even in 2018 we were mathematically safe with 2 games still to play, and the only time we’ve been in he bottom 3 was after losing at Leicester in our second ever PL game.
