    Apparently James Milner doesn't want to go to Vardys party because he doesn't like WKD

    love a bit of "@boringjamesmilner", me!

    They may not have anything resembling the same level of success but i think they will do well to be honest. They have honesty in abundance and great team spirit.

    The CL is going to hit them hard next year. Man City, Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool are going to be far stronger next season. They'll spend big this summer. You'll be fighting for 3rd or 4th, as usual. They had a once in a lifetime chance to win the league this season and they took it.

    8 seasons ago Leicester were playing in League One. The magnitude of what they've achieved tonight simply cannot be understated. Now if they can do a Forest and win the Champions League next season it would be really something. :D


    And if Leicester can do it, who knows, maybe Leeds can again some day. OK, I'm probably getting a little too carried away now...

    Ah yeah but the increase in finances will help them a bit. I dont expect them to compete but at the same time I think they will be a tough team to beat, and could well fight for a Europa spot.

    Have you watched Everton play on the road lately? Eleven drunks would beat them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,050 ✭✭✭✭The Talking Bread


    Seriously magnificent. The montages of this season are going to be brilliant.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,846 ✭✭✭✭Liam McPoyle


    A completly unthinkable, unlikely and simply astounding achievement for Claudio and the lads.

    I'm sitting here and I genuinely cannot wrap my head around it.

    Its astonishing, simply astonishing and its unlikely we will ever see the like in the premier league again.

    Fantastic stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,346 ✭✭✭blindpilot


    This is wonderful. Many, many people laughed their asses off (including myself) when they appointed Ranieri last summer but they way they've played and the togetherness in that team have been a joy to watch. Congrats Leicester, ye bloody well deserve it.

    no other league gives such excitement & entertainment , course many here like to sneer at those that enjoy. anyway enjoy a great football story.

    Nah.Pure rubbish.

    The bloody thing is over with 2 games to go.It's going down to wire in Spain and Germany.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,050 ✭✭✭✭The Talking Bread


    I hope Nigel Pearson gets the credit he deserves for putting this team together. The momentum he built up at the end of last season was a huge telling point in their team spirit.
    They wouldnt have won the league with him, I am sure about that. But I don't think they would have won it without what he done for that club.

    The fans absolutely love him, as did the players. He deserves some serious appreciation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,485 ✭✭✭Thrill


    Wow.

    "Hadn't seen this great stat: Man United have spent more on players in 2 years than Leicester in 132 year history"

    The bloody thing is over with 2 games to go.It's going down to wire in Spain and Germany.

    Bayern Munich are 5 points and 11 goals ahead of Dortmund with 2 games left. Thats a mooring rope, not a wire.

    EDIT. and Leverkusen in 3rd are 20 points adrift of Dortmund


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,050 ✭✭✭✭The Talking Bread


    Great result for Newcastle also in their relegation battle. Can't see them losing at home to a Spurs team completely distraught and may be a few bans also.

    4-6 points incoming for them. They've done superbly the last few weeks with 2 wins against Swansea and Palace and 2 draws against Liverpool and City in their last 4 games. Villa to come next weekend and then Spurs minus Alli, Dembele and any motivation on the last day.

    Safe as houses now, IMO. I'm glad I got on at 3/1 last week to ease some of the pain.

    2 defeats can happen you'd never know.

    There was a miraculous comeback today that should give Dortmund some hope.

    and 3 could have happened. Theres 4 games less in the Bundesliga, the PL went to the wire as much as the Bundesliga.

    Some coincidence alright! I'd say Peter is a proud da tonight. Can't have been easy for Kasper with the big shadow of his father looming over his whole career. Just the second father and son combo to win the Premiership(after Ian and Shaun Wright-Phillips).

    Not quite safe as houses, still think Sunderland can get 6 points out of their remaining three quite easily and they havethe far superior goal difference advantage.

    I wouldn't bother having this "debate"!!

    A preseason of beer and Thai hookers is the key to success. Can see many teams following suit .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,012 ✭✭✭✭titan18


    They may not have anything resembling the same level of success but i think they will do well to be honest. They have honesty in abundance and great team spirit.

    Doubt it, great that they've done it this year and all, but I remember 15 years ago Ipswich came up and came 5th, only losing out on CL last day of the season. They were then relegated the year after.

    Freak of a season, the top teams will be better next year, and mid table of the PL is so competitive, if the luck doesn't go you're way you're slipping down.

    Leicester to win Champions League only 100-1

    Depends on how much Ranieri is given to spend and how the Champions League impacts on them.

    Did you know Fuchs is the german word for fox!!

    On another note, Fuchs has a clothing brand and merchandising gear out called #nofuchsgiven.

    I have a feeling the "fuchs" and "drinkwater" jokes will take their toll on me over the next fortnight!

    ha in fairness, he has a point! The odds of a future 5000/1 winner of the league are actually a lot lower than 5000/1! Think about it!! ;)

    It is a good quote though!

    Not really, the odds will be 5000/1

    Congratulations, it is so well deserved. We will never see the like again. Weird in so many ways.
