It's time to pick your comedy team of this season, we've got some good contenders this year.
Last year Man Utd took a narrow victory from Cardiff, but neither of these teams even feature this season.
The contenders:
Liverpool - After finishing second last season they looked set to mount another strong challenge, at least staying in the top four. Things didn't quite work out, dumped out of the Champions League (followed by the Europa League) in tame fashion, never in the running for a top four spot. An easy looking FA Cup semi-final surely gave them hope of some silverware, Villa had other ideas. Then of course there's Steven Gerrard, how are the AMAZING Liverpool fans going to cope without their messiah? A 6-1 defeat to Stoke rounded off a fine season.
Newcastle - The fans spent most of the season trying to run Pardew out of the club. He finally left and they went on their worst ever run of defeats and just about stayed in the Premier League.
Palace - Contractual obligation. Sadly there's not much to say...
Portsmouth - Just because they're Portsmouth and they failed to even get near the play-offs.
Derby - Once again looked like the best team in the division. A couple of injuries and a lack of plan B saw them tumble from the top and fail to even make the play-offs.
QPR - Showing that they really compete with the big boys after 'arry did another triffic job. Of course to the rest of the world they underachieved once again, getting relegated with a whimper and apparently were able to "write off" a massive debt.
Brighton - A new entry this year, things didn't quite go to plan. Sold most of our best players, replaced them with League One quality at the very end of the transfer window. Then there's Hyppia, you can't say too many positive things about his spell in charge. Play-offs to relegation fight in one season, lets hope this is the only appearance here.
Other - I did think about Blackpool but that's a sad story as opposed to comedy.
