Leicester to win the premier league Roseberg to win the f1 championship and then retire Brexit Donald trump to be president Portugal to win euro 2016 Anyone else think this has been one unique and unprecedented year |

I can't say I was shocked by any of the above-mentioned.
Quite shocked by Bowie and GM dying. |

Brexit ok don't know the exact odd,s but know remain was favourite Trump- Again others were favourite Portugal to win Euro 2016- Underdogs for sure from memory England,Spain, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany were way more odd,s on than Portugal |

Well I don't follow football so didn't consider who would win what.
Same goes for F1. Brexit and Trump were no shock. So yes, seriously. |

For example, my money would have been on Clinton to win, but I wasn't exactly surprised that I was wrong. |

Tell me what was wrong with that. I did not see any of the people deriding it come back to eat humble pie. |

Similar odds to a number of unexpected things happening in any year, such as Tyson Fury being world champion, Mourinho being sacked and Japan beating South Africa in the Rugby World Cup in 2015..
Same goes for Japan against South Africa Mourinho getting sacked maybe but you only needed to follow Mourinho,s form to know it may happen |
