The league wasn't more competitive this year, it was just shite. The Rags won it by being the least shite of the top 4. Chelsea's dip was outrageous, but it wasn't as if they were playing well and dropping points, they were awful for a long period. The Rags were lucky in quite a few games, and were fortunate to finish on the points total they did. We were pretty boring in a lot of games (some pretty high points as well though (loved Fulham away)), and were not good to watch. Liverpool were just woeful, as were Spurs. I'm getting bored of the media hype about the way Arsenal play, but just can't stick the ball in the net. I personally find them boring to watch for most of their games, but every now and then they do look great.
Shit season, and it only looked more competitive because the top teams just didn't perform (and no, I don't think that's because the teams below them played better (Everton were awful, Villa were lucky not to be dragged into the relegation fight, West Ham shite, Fulham just dull, Birmingham boring, West Brom just average (but looked better under Hodgson), etc, etc, etc)).
Oh, and back on subject, I think he'd do quite well at Chelsea - Castiell, at least you'd get favourable coverage on Talkshite and the print media!
