It's great for Leicester and all that, but this is just ridiculous.

I'm surprised the media haven't campaigned for them to be granted jus primae noctis.

They're all getting in on the act....

The Pope prays with a Leicester City fan for Chelsea to equalise and with the help of revolutionary zeal and divine intervention they do!

Have to say I hadn't appreciated they are so advanced in their approach to fitness and recovery. I wonder how we compare.

I've read somewhere that we installed a cryotherapy chamber one or two years ago. And beetroot juice is common knowledge. Tbh I just don't see anything unique about these two methods.

Their owner dismissing them defending their title next season.

They'll be defending it alright (unless they're pulling out of the League?) but whether they retain it is another thing entirely. They probably won't. When was the last time that anyone did retain it?

As with most clubs, before the season, the target is the magical 40 points and that's done by winning every game you can.

Fair enough to take the pressure off IMO.

Maybe we should have a similar mentality? Instead of being Billy Big Bollox and expecting too much? Look at Chelsea this season.

But since they won't have any European distractions they should/will(?) do much better.

This season and Leicester winning it should be a huge wake up call for everyone.

How many other premier league teams can fit in a 48 hour recovery period after each game ?... The main reason for Leicesters lack of injuries is firstly and most important , simply the fact they are playing a lot fewer games . secondly , they have found a system to win games without having the lions share of possession of the ball , if you dont have long periods of possession you simply arent going to get tackled as much . And without wanting to sound bitter , its noticeable how Mahrez seems to go to ground at the slightest touch and yet always seems to win the decisions , while for years we have been watching defenders clogg Spanish Dave with impunity , not advocating an agenda but its definitely noticeable how different Mahrez and Vardy get treat by officials compared to Silva and Aguero in particular

A great achievement for them.
That said complete humiliation and embarrassment for us, I would seriously sack the whole lot after this season.
