EPL is so predictable, it's time for change

Once again we see United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal leaving all the rest behind. Aston Villa looked like they were breaking into the top four this season, but have fallen behind the pack.

For the last four seasons, it’s been the top four sides fighting for the top four places. The only time where it was close for an outsider was in the 2005/06 season, where Spurs came close but once again choked, leaving Arsenal in fourth place.

Of course, there was 2004/05 season, where Everton broke through to finish fourth. But that was only for one season.

Many will disagree with this, but is it time to follow other codes and introduce the salary cap? Wouldn’t it be good to see Man United down the other end of the table? Imagine seeing Fulham win the league?

When I found out about Manchester City becoming the richest club in the world, I was thinking “Yes! an outsider club challenging for the top four.”

But then I thought to myself: “Give it another five years and it will be the same as it is now. But instead of the top four, it will be the top five.”
