Neither was I, I knew they would lose that's why I put my money where my mouth is, I staked West Ham to win Manchester, Crystal Palace to win Tottenham and Nottingham Forest to win Leicester City. Funny enough these three games were supposed to be sure games if not that Nottingham Forest decided to do something else that made me to lose that very bet. For this season both Manchester United and Tottenham are gone, they just have to prepare for their finals and focus on next season afterwards.
I was not at all surprised after Man United, Tottenham and Chelsea lost all at once, especially Chelsea who faced Newcastle with 10 men. It is very natural that the three teams lost due to fatigue and the players' energy being drained after carrying the EPL at the European level. Man United and Tottenham still have the chance to qualify for the UCL next season through the automatic route, provided they win the UEL trophy.
It's funny to see Nottingham running out of gas towards the end of the season, having previously been so fierce and held on for so long in the top four, now they are in danger of failing to qualify for Europe next season.
I am also disappointed by this, the risk of not being able to qualify is high but with a bit of effort and let's face it also a bit of luck they could still do it.
I would be very happy to see them qualify, they ran out of energy towards the end of the season but we can also say
that despite everything they managed to defend themselves very well from the top teams.
I really admire the work of Nottingham, I hope for next season they can get better results.
