Arsenal
in august they where in a right old mess but ever since they brought in players like Arteta and Gerviniho they have been of Arsenal standard 3rd place is a good finish but they need to spend a bit of money if they want to challenge for the title next year
Aston Villa
The problem at villa has been simply no ambition they never really set them selves a target and thats why they finished 16th losing Bent in Feburaryo didnt help though
Blackburn. Rovers season has been full off protests but not many wins without Yakubus goals the club whouldve been down by December!
Bolton they probably met the hardest teams at the times you really dont want to meet them straight at the start of the season and at the start of 2012 mind you there last few games on paper looked good i expected them to survive, they whould have if it wasnt for their meltdown against West Brom
Chelsea by their standerds a very poor season Andre Villas Boas was fired for failing to acheive his targets but since roberto di matteo took over things have turned around two finals in one season is something to be proud off
Everton as usual they have come good in the second half of the season and signings Nikika Jelavic and Steven Peinaar have worked fantasticly there home form has been great with wins against Chelsea Newcastle and Manchester city included.
Fulham
as usual a very solid season but at the start it look like they might go down but then they rallyed from november onwards despite losing Bobby Zamora in January
Liverpool their cup runs have been superb but their league form has been the opposite poor they drew two many home games and lost at Anfield to teams they shoudnt do like Wigan and West brom but sacking Kenny Dalglish may prove costly next season
Manchester City
they started the season in World Class form and where playing like a team who where going to win the league with a 6-1 win against rivals manchester united included but then around christmas and new year they tailed off a bit and in april they where 8 points behind top of the table Manchester United but in 2 weeks the. Eight point gap was swallowed up with the returning Carlos Tevez involved they won the league after scoring two goals in stoppage time against Qpr i think if it wasnt for all this Balotelli and Tevez stuff City whould have easily won the league because i think these things distracted the players at times
Manchester united
A trophieless season for the reds but throwing a eight point gap away with four games left is unbeliveable for a team of their experiance but simply they havent been good enough and personally i dont think united did their usual when they play well second half of the season, to be honest they never really played brilliantly all season in my opinion
Norwich
They where mosts favourites to go down bottom but they defied the odds. Skipper Grant Holt has been ecxellent and boss Paul Lambert has been brilliant. adapting to the premier leGue isnt easy and Norwich have done that well not even bieng in the relegation battle is a good acheivment
Qpr
For the money they have spent surviving on the last day isnt brilliant. But myself i give Mark Hughes credit for the job he has done since taking over in January the run in looked very hard for his side but they won most of their home matches whitch made them favourites going into the last day
Swansea their brilliant passing game has worked and going to the liberity this season for opposition players hasnt been enjoyed by many even away from home they have won a few and Gilfi Sigurdson has been a great loanee. I also very highly rate Nathan Dyer his speed and ability to cross is their for all to see
Sunderland
Since Martin O neill arrived things have changed dramaticly a good Fa cup run and a mid table finish is what the mackems didnt think theyd see at all this season under mr Bruce
Stoke
With Europa League involvment many expected them to drop a few places but they never did another solid season for the potters
Spurs
Finishing fourth may not be worth a champions league spot so how mist spurs rue their mid season blip whitch saw them drop a place despite bieng lots of points clear to north london rivals arsenal.
Wigan
They started their season very poorly collecting just five points from auguest into November they steadied their ship after that a little bit but in the new year they had another bad run whitch saw them odds on to go down. But in feburary they looked like they might be about to pull off an escape when they beat Bolton 2-1 at the Reebok stadium but came crashing back down to earth with only taking one point from their next two games but then wigan did pull off a fantastic fightback with wins against Liverpool Arsenal Manchester United and Newcaslte all involved in a brilliant last few months for latics fans the introduction of Shaun Maloney helped the latics finish 15th
West brom
A solid mid table finish was perhaps what many didnt expect and the fa saw something good about it because they appointed albions boss Roy Hogson as the next england manager.
Wolves
A very poor season and they sure payed the price for sacking mick macarthy relegated in April isnt something to be proud of their last win was in feburary whitch says it all
