2017 in football- who will be happy to see the back of it.

2017 in football- 

who will be happy to see the back of it?

So another year over and in football terms some clubs and players will be over the moon to see the back of it. See below...

Sunderland FC

Down, Down deeper and Down.

Well, the Black Cats drowned this season, didn't they? Premier League relegation was inevitable and their first season in the championship has been a disaster with only ONE win and 22 points they are out the relegation zone by goal difference. And baring Jermaine Defoe there wasn't even a mass exodus from the club of players. League one beckons?

Blackburn Rovers

Chicken Tonight.

Its been SEVEN very long years for Blackburn who have gone from Upper Midtable Premier league side to a league one side. All thanks to some idiot chicken owners. hopefully, 2018 will see the side OUT of league one and be pushing to go up to the premier league. With some nice rich NEW owners. Surely there is some rich Americans willing to take over the club?

Manchester United

Never good enough...

Okay, this is harsh but let's be honest. Man Utd did not have THAT good of 2017. Yes they won two trophies (the league cup which they nearly lost to a toothless Southampton and the Europa league which was pathetically weak that season) however their league form leaves much to be desired, and add to the fact that their so-called lesser neighbours are flying away from them at a record pace and you can see the problem. Plus Jose needs to grow up.

Arsenal

The year when they FINALLY came 5th.

Arsenal had it coming. Another thrashing in the last 16 in the champions league (they lost 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich) and a much deserved 5th place in the league means 2017 will not be the most welcome year to Arsenal Fans. Yes, they won the FA cup but Arsene always wins that. plus no-one is interested in the Europa league (Since Atletico Madrid are going to win it)

Chris Coleman/Wales

Oh Dear Chris

Chris Coleman had a great 2016. He has a shocker of a 2017. Wales didn't even reach the playoffs of the world cup qualifying in a group which was a winnable group. Bale looked a shadow of his former self as did Aaron Ramsey and Ashely Williams. Actually, it's not been a great year for wales as a whole has it. Coleman preferred Sunderland(???) to the national job, they have no manager and Swansea the only Welsh team in the Premier team look like they are going down. Let's hope for better in 2018
