The Premier League is obviously a lot more predictable than the Championship. However, this time last season I don't think many people would have predicted West Brom and certainly not Stoke to get relegated. So many things to factor in over a course of the season. Stoke had a load of off field issues to contend with, no dressing room harmony whatsoever and that can destroy a teams spirit and can happen to anyone if management are not on top of things throughout the course of a season. Teams like West Ham and Watford always appear to have continuous issues in this respect.
