And so the Premiership season wrapped up at the weekend. Here's the final table -

1 Arsenal
2 Liverpool
3 Man Utd
4 Newcastle United
5 Leeds United
6 Chelsea
7 West Ham Utd
8 Aston Villa
9 Tottenham Hotspur
10 Blackburn Rovers
11 Southampton
12 Middlesbrough
13 Fulham
14 Charlton Athletic
15 Everton
16 Bolton Wanderers
17 Sunderland
18 Ipswich Town
19 Derby County
20 Leicester City

And so the Hammers rallied towards the end of the season to a more than respectable seventh place, two above the Tottscum and a full six places higher than I predicted when I did my pre-season projections. Well, I did get the top three right (albeit in the wrong order) and successfully predicted two of three sides to go down (Leicester and Derby) but Bolton spoilt it all by being quite good on occasion, leaving Ipswich to leap like lemmings from the previous season's dizzy heights of fifth into the fiscal abyss of the Nationwide.
