Congratulations to Leicester. Worthy winners and great to see the premier going to someone outside the usual suspects. Thought they were the best team to come to WHL.

Yeah such a brilliant achievement when everything is handed to them for the last month plus.

It's not their fault if everyone else continually fucked up. They held their nerve better than us, Arsenal and City. Fair play to them for that.

Amazing achievement for them

I wish I had a sneaky bet on them when they were 5000/1 that's for sure

They did what we couldn't and consistently put teams away. 1-0 up and they just wouldn't let teams get a sniff. I honestly can't believe they've done it given the collection of players they have, but that makes it an even more incredible story.

If we want to challenge for a title in the upcoming seasons, we have to develop that mentality they have shown. Just far too many draws from winning positions.

Nonetheless, Congratulations to Leicester from one Tottenham supporter that doubted you all season.

Amazing achievement, and fair play to them. It was a simple game plan, but they played to their strengths and what they had in the squad and executed it fantastically well. What's more, and something I'll always appreciate, is that they showed that a sound gameplan, being tactically smart, and maximising the players you have in the squad can succeed. You don't just have to throw yet more money at things.

An incredible achievement.

We pretty much evolved slowly into the best team in the league, but by that point Leicester's highly efficient brand of football had put them in pole position.

They have been better than the sum of their parts, and have had key players performing consistently well all season. I've ranted and raved about scheduling, ref decisions, and potential doping, but the reality is that they have been the most ruthlessly efficient team in the league. Well done Leicester. I'm unbelievably jealous, but credit where it's due.

Have to add that I've always had a soft spot for Ranieri, and the fact that he'll now go down as a managerial legend doesn't make me feel terrible.

Well done Leicester. If we weren't in the title race, I would have been massively rooting for them.

One of the (few) upsides to Leicester winning the title is that its finally killed off one of the BSoDL's favourite put downs whenever anyone has the cheek to moan about Levy.......You know the one, where they turn around and say who could do a better job than Levy? Or who could buy the club and do better?

Well, I give you Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.......... he's a little bit taller, has a full head of hair and a league title. The best chairman in the EPL :playful:

:p

firstly congratulations to Leicester, shame the crime rate will be going up in the area tonight, as every house will be unattended;)

what Poch will need to do is get the players from the off to get to that 40pts mark;) (it worked for them), but also try to be less offensive once 2-0 up and hit on the counter to increase the lead, or at times even at 1-0 depending on the opo.

Good for us teams that don't have the spending power of the rich 5 so it's good. Good for them, good for league in that maybe anyone can truly win it

Should be general footy rather than Spurs chat however

Your just being mean at this point, surely you know by now Levy repeats the following in front of the mirror every night before milk and cookies..

"I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala"

No need to rub it in.

Can't do it. Sorry.

I had tons of respect for them early on in the seaosn and didn't mind them winning it.

After seeing them up close and all the shit they get up to they can suck my hairy, long, balls.
That's your new name. long ball Larry ;)

NBCSNs documentary 'The Leicester City Story' can be seen here if anyone is interested.



It's like an episode of Premiership years for a country that doesn't care for the music of Oasis.
