Thought I'd write another blog. It's been a while!
Football is a funny old game. I don't expect many would have predicted as wild a season. How would have thought Blackpool would have such a good start and teams like Chelsea would fade as drastically as they have. The table is closer than ever with such a small gap between 9th place and 18th. A team can be dreaming of Europe and then dragged into the pit of relegation or resurrect their season in 3 games.
Despite all this shake up, the same patterns are occurring as usual. A team we all thought was miraculous in how they played has slipped dramatically into the bottom three and is now a near certainty for relegation. If there was such a thing this year. A team who is always around but never does much has finally succumbed to the decline of their mediocrity and a team famed for their great escapes has been presented with yet another to haul themselves out of the bottom three. The title yet again is contested between just two teams and the race for Europe is again the battlegrounds for Spurs and City. We've seen a fall from grace or two as well, Liverpool are nothing on the side that won the Champions League that crazy night in Istanbul, Aston Villa's rollercoaster season must leave a few feeling ill after building for so long to challenge the now expanding top 4, Sunderland after a whirlwind start and tens of millions spent have slumped into a 'relegation battle' and are in grave danger of assisting the Hammers in their next Great Escape.
I'll finish with my predictions and say that Blackpool, Wolves and Wigan will be relegated. With both Blackburn and West Ham being mighty close to the drop. Man city will choke at the last against Bolton and Spurs will take the the 4th Champions League spot. Whilst United will win the title outright with Arsenal and lagging chelsea taking up the other places. Leave your thoughts in the comments if you want to predict as well and I can only hope we have as entertaining a season next year as we have this.
