Leicester and WHam proved that it is still possible to get great or decent results without spending tons of money every season. Foxes deserve to be Champions. Arsenal is immature to become Champion, they had failed every time they had chance to take over the top and get away. Spurs are in the shadow of Foxes, but still their success is suprising too. Before season start, most of us thought their place is not in the top 4, but their manager doesn't agree. They have young team, but they play very good, they act mature, serious and they are the only team which might hunt Foxes to the end. ManCity had chances on paper before Liverpool destroyed them 3-0.
Meanwhile, Chelsea improved their position and escaped from relegation zone because they sacked The Unwanted One and got new manager. I think that Mou needs to find club which isn't that fancy, which creates less pressure on manager (unlike Real Madrid or Chelsea).
What suprises me also in BPL this season is very bad Newcastle. On paper, their squad should finish at least in the middle or maybe upper part of table, but they might finish in Championship. Teams like Watford usually take their chances in such situations when some stronger team underperforms, so staying in the league with such good position should give them fine financial bonus, great for this season's newbie.

Although fans of BPL favourites (Chelsea, both Manchesters, Arsenal, Liverpool) aren't happy at all with their standings, we all have to admit this season is GREAT!. Completly unpredictable so far, that's why we like BPL
