    <p>Spurs did a brilliant impression of being non-Spursy all season - and then it all came in a rush right at the end. With 4 games to go, many "pundits" (pundits = the same people who have been spectacularly wrong with all predictions this season) were proclaiming that Spurs would pick up 12 and so Leicester would need at least 8 to win the title. As it happened, Leicester did get 8 ... and Spurs got 2.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>August 2014 - April 1, 2015 Leicester had 4 wins and 18 defeats.</p>
    <p>Since then Leicester have had 30 wins and 4 defeats.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>It is totally crazy.</p>

      We faded badly but did about 5 places better than I expected. If we buy well and strengthen the squad we should do well next year

        Straw clutching of Arsenal proportions. <br><br>
        Leicester pretty convincing in the end. Good season. Let's hope next year doesn't revert to type

                Until this year, the title seemed such a stretch I've never given it much thought. Finishing above Arsenal on the other hand...

                      <p>Mickey Mousers are 1-0 up at half time. Please tell me that if they win they knock City out of Champions League next year??? Or will England have 5 teams in the Champions League?</p>

                          <p>A classic game of two halves.  Sturridge robbed Lovren of a goal which would have made it 2-0.   Liverpool fans will feel hard done by with some 50/50 hand balls in the box that weren't given but those are the breaks.</p>
                          <p> </p>
                          <p>Hooroo, I think Man City would still have qualified for the CL.  A moot point now.</p>

                            <p>Just spoke with my mate in England and he is gutted. Said pretty much what you said Bovidae</p>

                              <p>And in the final death throes of the season ......</p>
                              <p> </p>
                              <p>Real Madrid take the UCL on penalties after a 1-1 draw with their cross-town rivals. Pretty much 100% different to predicted as Real played on the break after an early goal and Atleti bashed at the door and eventually bagged an equaliser after missing a penalty. In the penalty shoot-out, Juanfran was the only one to miss and Ronaldo got to take his shirt off - he'd been ineffective during the game and looked injured.</p>
                              <p> </p>
                              <p>Hull are back in the Premier League which is a bit tedious - it means 2/3 of those relegated last season have bounced straight back (Hull & Burnley) and there's a fair chance they will go straight back down again without some investment in talent.</p>
                              <p> </p>
                              <p>Meanwhile Barnsley achieved the not inconsiderable feat of being bottom after 20 games and getting promoted via the play-offs. They are back in the Championship. The final domestic game is AFC Wimbledon v Plymouth to go up to League One. Which would put Wimbledon in the same division as the franchise MK Dons that originally replaced them.</p>
