The premier league is not the Arsenal/ Man U/ Man City/ Chelsea premier league. It's not inevitable that a big club should win title. History means nothing, having loads of fans means nothing, winning things in past means nothing, spending loadsamoney means number. It's about what you do now. Newcastle have more fans than Leicester. Man U have more fans than Spurs. There is no reason why Burnley or Bournemouth can't win title .

I'm n saying they didn't deserve it, they've shown all the quality's needed this season, but they wouldn't have even come into the thinking of anybody at the start of the season, when asked who'd win the title? They were the outsiders of 20, so the result and their form is very surprising, against the norm, not usual, freakish.
