Season Review - English Premier League

5 – Everton

Record point tally for Everton. They claim that they are apparently better without David Moyes. Proof? They finished one place higher up in the table! Yay!

Leave all the good football notion alone. Martinez in his first season has had a great season. No doubt. But, he does not have anything to show off. And, Lukaku will return to his club.

A fourth place finish would have been fantastic for Everton but without it, this season is just like any of the other ten seasons they had under David Moyes.

4 – Arsenal

Wenger must go – July

In Wenger we Trust – August (After Ozil).

This is our year – October

We are winning it this year, maybe a double! – December

Wenger must go – March

Come on. Let’s push for No.4 – April

In Wenger we Trust – May (After the FA Cup) ?

I don’t want to say anything else. Because, anything other than this in-a-loop pattern is irrelevant.

3 – Chelsea

Mourinho apparently didn’t want to win anything this year. Well, that is what he has saying to everyone ever since he took over the club.

Its hard to understand Mourinho. He wins games alright. He won home and away against both Liverpool and Man City and still ended up 3rd.

You don’t play games with Mourinho. That bit is very clear. If he doesn’t like you, he doesn’t. He sold his best player and called his next best player as mentally not fit to sacrifice himself for the team.

All this is kind of expected of Mourinho. But, a transfer window failure? That is something different. It was apparent that Chelsea needed strikers. Mourinho kept on chasing Rooney whom he had very little chance of signing. That is not something we associate with him. That is probably what cost Chelsea the title. And, as we expected the Diego Costa deal is almost over even before the season ends in Spain.

Mourinho’s second years are always the most productive. Will he take Chelsea to the title next year?

2 – Liverpool

I don’t understand the concept of all the neutrals wanting Liverpool to win the League. Who are these neutrals anyway? Arsenal fans?

They have conceded more than 50 goals for the first time since 1914. If they hadn’t scored 100+ goals, they would have been in the lower mid table dog fight. That is how bad their defense was. You cannot expect to win the League with that defense.

And, what is this bollocks that we hear about Steven Gerrard deserving to win the League? Ledley King played for 15 years at Tottenham. Does he deserve it too?

If you deserve to win the league, you better win the league. There is no way around that. You don’t celebrate as if you have won the league after defeating someone with still four more games to go.

Still, despite all that, what Brendan Rodgers has achieved at Liverpool is mind-boggling. Now, he needs to keep Luis Suarez if he wants to have a go at it next year.

1 – Manchester City

Leave all the oil rigs and millions out of it. You still had to put down a team and manage to win the most number of games over a period of 38 games in 9 months. They did that.

They were not looking as if they could do it. But, they did it. Just 15 days. 15 days in 9 months they occupied the top spot and it was enough. Yes, they need to send a big thank you card to Jose Mourinho and Steven Gerrard. But, unlike Liverpool they didn’t let it slip.

Take out Yaya Toure and see what you get – Not the League Champions. May be a No.4 team. That is how vital this man has been. He was my Player of the Season.
