Two teams that really turned around there form in Aston Villa and more so Wolves who were only 2 points away from relegation at the end of last season. We are joined by playoff winners Swansea who return after one year out of the top flight. Leeds should be annoyed after spending almost the whole season in the top 2 but fell away when it really mattered. They're plight is nothing compared to that of Blackburn, Cardiff and QPR. All 3 spend large sums of money and have little or nothing to show for it as they fall down to league 1
Once again i was a bit slow in updating the manager merry go round. 14 managers in total lost there jobs in a particularly brutal season.

The stand out player from our midfield, was linked with several Premiership teams but stayed loyal

Dennis Man

The Romanian wonderkid will need to add more goals and assists to his game if he's to start in the top flight every week.

Barcelona beat Real Madrid by a point. A very predictable table
Juve are back on top in Serie A 7 points clear of Napoli and Inter and AC Milan are still well off a title challenge
Man Utd waltz to the title with only Tottenham coming close. Man City are only in the Europa League with Bournemouth and possibly Villa in the Europa League? Nobody said but im sure there's still a place to hand out. Fulham and Norwich go right back to the Championship with Crystal Palace who some how stayed up last season but dont this year. Everton and Hull only just survive
Sadly we can't see it but Rangers beat Celtic to the SPL title. For Shame!

Hehe great to see Liverpool loose the final. To be fair Leverkusen knocked out PSG on the way.
Aston Villa Squad

Dwight Gayle would have been the star of the season if he didnt miss so much time with injurys. Connor Hourihane was the teams break out star. Keeper Varela and Will Hughes looks like being quality signing for next year. Keinan Davis stands out again outplaying Dennis Man. We'll need to pick up a lot of good players to fill in for the loans.

We lost over £5m for the second season in a row but taking a £10m hit to get back into the premiership is totally worth it!
