What most surprised you about the Premiership season?
The Premier League is massively unpredictable and great at making idiots of pundit predictions. My top three are.
1) Chelsea winning the league. A pre-season sweepstake of me and friends had them outside the top four in all of our predictions. Well done Conte.
2) How bad Sunderland were. Big name manager and an established Prem club. Started off bad and got even worse. Imagine how bad they would have been [i]without [/i]Jermain Defoe.
3) How good Tottenham were. Less money and name power than the rest of the top six but since Christmas they have been the best team in the contests. A very strong second.
Honorable mention goes to champions Leicester struggling but then I wasn't too surprised because they were always a one season wonder.
