Well done City, but it was all a bit easy for you. No real excitement for us neutrals.
At the other end it has been nail-biting. Almost to the end any one of 11 teams were vulnerable. Now it nailed on that Stoke, WBA and Swansea are relegated. The biggest fear I always have with relegation (and being a Palace fan I have experience) isn't simply going down but the possibility of a continued slide. Sunderland Portsmouth Charlton and Wigan are fairly recent examples. I'm sure Stoke and WBA will be back but I fear for Swansea.
The escape of the season has to go to Palace. Played 7, lost 7, goals scored 0. Their recovery from that disastrous start was amazing and Hodgson deserves a medal as does Wilf Zaha who really inspired his team to snap out of their downward spiral. I'm also pleased that our arch-rivals Brighton will be there next season. Their ground is a pleasure to visit. They deserve their success.
