Journalism 2 Task 3D

Wow Wow Wow! This season’s premier league was extraordinary, fabulous and extremely insane and unpredictable. This is due to the fact that Leicester were premier league champions for the first time in their 150 years of the club. Aston Villa once champions of Europe were relegated in April which not many predicted at the start of the season. The previous champions Chelsea finished 9th the worst ever position as defending champions. Manchester United disappointingly finished just outside the top 4. 

The bookies at the start of the season put Leicester 500/1 to win the league. Many people thought that Leicester would be relegated and there manager Claudio Ranieri there manager to be sacked first. Paul Merson said at the start of the season, “Leicester have not got a chance especially not with Claudio”.  You could clearly see they were predicted by pundits to finish 18th or below.

I interviewed many premier league fans to get there overview or take of this seasons premier league 2015/16.  The first Person I interviewed was Michael, a Manchester United fan. This is what he had to say about the season. “I am really disappointed because Manchester United finished outside the top 4 but really glad that we added another huge trophy to our cabinet, yes indeed the FA Cup”!   

I then interviewed another fan who is a West Ham supporter named Anthony and this is what he had to say, “At the start of the season I was not expecting to finish as high up the table as we did because I predicted us to finish in the bottom half of the table. Well I was proven wrong because with the likes of Dimitri Payet and Lanzini we were able to finish in the top ten and we also booked our place in next season Europa League which was phenomenal so overall it was a fantastic season for us”.

 I also interviewed a Spurs, Arsenal, and Chelsea fan and this is what they concluded about their season, “We had a good season as we accomplished our mission in getting into the top 4 and making champion’s league but in contrast to that our only downfall was allowing arsenal to leap frog us in the league on the final day”. “Another season that arsenal couldn’t win the league which is worrying. The only positive we can take Is that we passed spurs in the league who were battling for the title”. “We had a horrific season and pray we expand on that with the funds and transfer budget we have.

This season was truly remarkable and will go down as one of the most shocking upsets in sporting history.
