My 2012-13 EPL Wrap-Up

1. Three teams went down. But hey, three new teams are coming up, so don’t worry about it. It’s an endless cycle, like the seasons.

2. Amusingly, one of those teams, Wigan, also won the FA Cup, and so will get to play next year in both England’s second division and in the Europa League.

3. ManU won the title for the 600th time. Ran away with it, in fact, which must have a group of oil sheikhs from the Middle East rather pissed off.

4. Related: One gazillion dollars spent on a team that failed to qualify for the Champions League knockout rounds, lost to lowly Wigan in the FA Cup final, and finished second in the league, well behind ManU? Bye-bye Roberto Mancini. (Would he have kept his job had they won the FA Cup?)

5. Goddamn Chelsea. 3rd place is pretty good for a team that yet again fired a coach mid-season and is in the middle of a major transition personnel-wise.

6. Arsenal in the Champion’s League, Spurs out, again. Like I said Monday: Goddammit. I’ll have more to say about this in another post.

7. Everton finished one spot ahead of Liverpool, which I mention mostly because I’m sure it made my friend Ruari happy.

8. Alex Ferguson retired, to be replaced by David Moyes. I’ll have more to say about this, as well.
