Phumfeinz Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I find it amazing that people can moan about Leicester winning the league in this day and age of football. It's an incredible achievement and you've got to be some kind of massive cynical grouch to begrudge them that. Why even bother watching football, really? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I think a number of people probably just support the Premier League rather than a particular club so end up jumping on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it staggering that there are some people hoping they choke and don't win it. Leicester winning it is fairytale stuff indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I will think back to this achievement in 5 years and it still wont have sunk in... Who remembers the term 'sky 4'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sit back and think, Leicester could well be champions. It is almost unthinkable. Especially in the modern era when only oil rich funded clubs can join the established elite.

Sorry mate, you are entitled to your opinion but I couldn't disagree more. You can't bully your way to a league title. You have to be the best team in the league and they have been. They work hard, they're fully committed and have shown a fair amount of class and skill. They have been superb, as they was at the end of last season (7 wins in 9). As for whether England has 3 or 4 CL places - who cares?! The day I care about England's coefficient is the day I stop caring about football completely! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Yes it would just mean Arsenal would miss out so who cares how many teams we have in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 In the last 6 years Liverpool, Man. City, Chelsea and Man. United have all bombed out in the group stage, Man. United and Liverpool have done it twice. Arsenal really should've been knocked out this season if Olympiakos hadn't bottled it big time. I really fail to see how Leicester could be more embarrassing than some of those clubs, does Andy think they'll get 0 points and lose every game 5-0 or something?

It was a joke at how quickly a team near the top of the table can fall if you sign the wrong players with the wrong attitudes. I think Leicester need to continue signing hungry players rather than big names looking for a pay day as then team shirt can quickly get eroded.

Keyblade Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Elvis coming back to life had the same odds as Leicester winning the league at the start of the season. You can argue they should never had odds like that anyway, but it just goes to show how astonishing it is, and how impossible it was considered. Can't wait to witness history in a few hours, because I know they're going to turn over that terrible Manchester United side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that on Radio 2 too I really, really, really hope they do it today. If there's one positive from this shitty season is that the likes of Leicester can show the likes of Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal that money isn't everything. Ranieri deserves all of the plaudits and I get a feeling that he may be a tad emotional today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Got my fingers crossed for them. The only thing better than a club like Leicester winning the league is them making it official at Old Trafford and making the Man United words removed fans watch them be crowned champions.

One For The Road Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 It seems rather apt that the league champions could be confirmed at the same ground as our relegation was. Leicesters success makes me even more angry at our board, especially as they are a smaller club from the midlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
