Twitter mocks Michael Owen for his pre-season predictions

This has been the most exciting Premier League season in recent memory.

Back in August you would have been considered insane if you said Leicester would be top at Christmas or Jose Mourinho would have been gone before the new year, but here we are. After 17 games, the shocking nature of how 2015/16 has gone so far is best summed up by looking back at what pundits were expecting at the start of the season. In particular, people have latched onto the projected top six and bottom three given by former Liverpool striker Michael Owen, whose predictions haven't exactly gone to plan. https://twitter.com/themichaelowen/status/629660825251241985 Things have turned out a little differently, with Chelsea struggling to keep their heads above water in 15th and Leicester leading the league - not to mention Watford in 7th place after a 3-0 win over Liverpool. In fairness to Owen, he wasn't actually far off from the general consensus coming into the year, but the people of Twitter don't seem to care for such things. https://twitter.com/81tricky/status/678613650375090176 https://twitter.com/mattmullender93/status/678620249764339712 https://twitter.com/josht92afc/status/678604332858781697 https://twitter.com/PaulBlezard99/status/678657154719555585 https://twitter.com/RobScanlan1963/status/677609115024134144 https://twitter.com/DaOneToFollow/status/678603397080047616
