Vardy isn't world class. He's a roided little rat having a good season.

Christ, is Vardy world class now?

Makes their feat even easier to replicate then, if only 2 WC players are needed.

Mahrez, Vardy and Kante seem world class, yes. But the rest of the team are just solid IMO.

Could their success be replicated by other smaller teams playing a smart system, e.g West Ham?

Going by the FA cup replay WHU tried to replicate Leicester's success, but ended up taking the 'I can't walk' drugs instead of the 'I can't stop running' drugs.

Usually there will be two or three of the 'big' clubs fighting it with them but everyone has been fucking shite, plus nobody knew any of their players were any good, or would have unsettled them & signed them before the season started.

Nah all down to the manager.

 

[mcfc1996]

Obviously any team that wins the league deserves it so hats off the Leicester as they certainly don't look like bottling it but it will be 20+ years before anything like this happens again. Next season Leicester wont get top 6.

 

[chaddblue]

If Leicester can, nearly any team in the premier league can

They've hit on a system that perfectly suits the playing squad they have. The players have consistently played above their level and the manager has kept them grounded

Obviously they've needed much more than a slice of luck. ZERO injuries, several iffy ref decisions, and every other possible challenger having a bit of a 'mare of a season

Oh my days. A world class racist prick maybe.

Neither of you are fans of the little fella then?
