re: Match Day 5/11 | Peace Out, Geordie Edition

Was rooting for Newcastle there near the end. They've looked decent since Rafa took charge, not Title-Challengers good, but at least Mid-Tier. Can't figure out why he kept starting Cisse over Mitrovic.

I'm not sure what's more depressing (for me, or other Newcastle fans). Seeing Sunderland not go down this year for being a crap team the past three years, or knowing they probably won't go down next year either because of how shitty everyone else looks.

Crystal Palace is probably going to do worse next year than Aston Villa did this year. Picking one of Burnley, Boro, or whoever the playoff serves up to go down as the #2 candidate. #3, a completely random pick between Everton, Watford, (so much bad mojo in the clubs right now), Bournemouth (just a little too small), West Bromwich Albion (lacking mojo entirely, good or bad) or Swansea, Stoke (Because they've just been good, not great).

Honestly, I don't see next year's title going to anyone but the Big 6 or Leicester, Maybe by some miracle, Southampton or West Ham, but that's probably it. And considering how this season went, unless big changes are made, Leicester probably wins it again.

burnley will bounce right back down, but at least we get to look forward to MiB doing the "signs around turf moor" segment again

boro is talented enough to hang around like watford or bournemouth.
