I think it's good that they have won it. Haringey Hotspurs lost it at Chelsea but Leicester won it with the point at The Swamp. There's a certain appropriateness about it! They have to have the open-topped bus and all the paraphernalia that goes with it, and the Champions badges on next season's shirts. All great stuff, and I am delighted they hung on and didn't get caught by those shites who stole six points off us.

What's pissing me off a bit is the wall to wall, radio station to radio station, broadsheet to tabloid drenching of the fact. My memory is deteriorating rapidly and I can't remember getting this kind of treatment when Mancini won it nor when Pellegrini won it.

Any one know if the bookies are doing 5000-1 for Claudio to be MotS? Bet it ain't Pulis this season, nor Pochettino, nor Eddie Howe! Yer can't help but be cynical at times!

Congrats to Leicester, a wonderful achievement... but am I alone in thinking that the other great 'fairy tale' of this season has been Bournemouth's achievement in securing their place in the Prem with even less money spent that Leicester and some horrific early season injuries to key players in an already small squad??
 
Leicester played 43 games all season. Worth getting knocked out of cups for? It must have helped.
 
Not yet commented on this achievement but it has to go down as one of the greatest in recent history. Unpredictable, inexplicable, unbelievable. It also signals a change in English football with the TV deals coming in next season and the never ending appeal, interest (from fans and investors) in the Premier league. The era of the so called top 4 will melt away and it will take astuteness in the transfer window,competence and luck to assemble a team that will compete and win the league. The playing field is leveling. It is a reality.

Leicester's success may very well be a one off but this new trend of competitiveness and unpredictability is destined to continue. I suppose is why people like and will continue to like the premier league.

Congratulations Leicester City.
 
Got to hand it to Leicester whichever way to slice it.

Of course it's a bit gutting for us, considering we dropped 4 points against Villa who we should have humped both games, and 2 points dropped in that dreadful game at the swamp which we should have easily won, made Stoke look like Barca, and should have beaten Leicester in the away game which we drew despite out playing them, to name but four things. We dropped stupid points against teams we should have beaten well, and should be up there right now fighting until the end, and should be top. But less said about our performances the better, especially after tonight game against second leg game against Real which was feckin' pathetic. We fucked it up, no excuses.

Anyhoo. you could say Leicester winning was a freak season, and I personally I think it is. No sour grapes, no bithcing, no disrespect, no bitterness. I just think it was a freaky season with us playing shite, Chelsea being woeful, Arse being Arse, rags being crap ... all in the same one season. That has never happened before, and probably never will again. Plus they had no CL, no cup runs, no extra games.

But hey, no sour grapes, even if it sounds like it. When everyone else went to crap, Leicester kept believing and kept on winning. And for that you have to give enormous credit.

Well done Leicester. Well deserved. Really chuffed for the fans. Rather them than Spurs any day of the week.
