The end

As he final whitles were blown yesterday across England, it draws an end to another fantastic campaign of Premier League football. Although, goals were a virtue this time round but races across the table were fantastic. From the 3 way battle between Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United for the crown to the down-to-the-wire relagation battles. Also worth a mention was Aston Villa's incredible attempt to pip Arsenal to the 4th and final Champions League spot and they would have done so if it weren't for lack in depth of the team. Also a highlight was Hull doing a ridiculous 'Devon Loch' season when they scored 20 points in 9 games and then when on to win just 2 in 29 saw them drop from Europe hopefulls to relagation scrappers. Also a feat i fell was under-hyped was the fact that Harry Redknapped pulled Tottenham form last place and steered them to almost Europa Cup qualifiers. Not to mention the numerous managarial changes from Scholari at Chelsea to Keane at Sunderland just to name a few.
