- Arsenal finish Top 4 again. This could be 2nd - 4th depending on this weekend's results
- Spurs are also guaranteed automatic qualification - I think this was only true after the Man City vs Arsenal draw although I might be wrong...
- West Ham fans love a headbutt - against a bus. What kind of idiot headbutts a moving bus?
- They said farewell to their historic ground with an awful performance against Swansea, followed by a rousing comeback against Man Utd. Bilic's season in a nutshell.
- All the stick for their post-game show thing - these things are universally awful. But I stayed after Arsenal's last game at Highbury (10 years ago!) for about 2 hours for something equally shite (Roger Daltry's "Highbury Highes" song composed specially...) so they have full empathy from me.
- Sunderland are safe - and Big Sam does it again. Dunno about that nauseating conducting thing, but credit where credit's due...
- John Terry's red card. Just amazing. Good riddance
- Newcastle are down. I genuinely don't understand how a side too good to be relegated manages to do it TWICE in a decade. Once is careless enough...but if you can't beat Villa....
- Norwich are also down. They've really struggled to get to grips with the league this year - finding a balance between solidity and creativity
- Martinez has outstayed his Merseyside welcome. You'd have to say that's probably the peak for his career too....he was a young promising manager once upon a time, but now you can see the same flaws in all his teams, you have to assume that's his genuine ability. Can't see a big club taking him on - his next move would probably be to a defensively sound team where he can give a boost to the attacking play...like his 1st year at Everton. Weird that they sacked him with 1 game left....why not wait until Monday?
That's after the weekend saw Leicester lift the title in front of a raucous crowd & Andrea Bocelli! Mna Utd scraped a win and you'd have to say that if/when they finish 5th, that's van Gaal gone. Still think Mourinho would be a bigger mistake though - I think his shtick is also done now.
