Leicester (5 Viewers)

The one thing this will do is wake up some of the big clubs and I would expect them to spend fortunes in the summer.

I think that in the long term it will have a detrimental effect on football. The bigger clubs will just chuck more money at players, pick up more youngsters to sit in reserves and fuck over smaller clubs worse than they do already.

Doesn't really bother me they won but I'm getting annoyed already with how its being made out they had a bunch of nobodies. They've spent a fortune!

Compared to their rivals, they haven't.

Squad cost £28M I think they just said on BBC news. Chicken feed in the premier league.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

25-1 to be relegated next year 33-1 to win it again

 

[skybluetony176]

Anyhow. Congratulations Leicester. Rather it was Spurs to be honest but the table doesn't lie and Leicester deserve it.

Now they have won it we won't hear the end of it, no doubt they will make a full length feature film

The owners are suggesting that they will be spending £200 million next season. So no you will not see the end of it. They have an ambition to remain in the top echelons of the game.

Winning the league though this season is doubtless one if the biggest upsets in sport for many many years.

utd spent 250m and not even guaranteed top 5. mind you Villa spent over 40m this year and managed 16 pts. maybe some of these big sides need to look at employing the right managers rather than throwing cash at players.

I'm glad it was a Midlands team that won it. Anything but a London team. Now let's see how well they do in the Champions League.

Could well get embarrassed on the big stage but we would all gladly trade places I think. Don't care much for Leicester but it is nice to see Ranieri succeed in English football after he was shown the door by Abramovich.

They finish top of the pile and well done to them. They were helped by failing teams who are rebuilding and falling out with managers (Man Utd, Chelsea) and you might ask Spurs rebuilding while Arsenal have failed to rally when it was there for the taking.

But why then was it not one of the others that took advantage? Well done Leicester for doing so and believing in yourselves. Vardy and Marhrez's contributions have been a revelation of sorts. The manager inherited a spirit that got out of a seemingly impossible dog fight the season before and from that confidence reigned supreme.

I hope it shakes things up a bit. Money is not the only thing that can win you football matches and that applies to us next season too. I'm glad the premier league has been turned on it's head.

 

[ollyservetta]

very happy for them , and also for their world champion mark Selby , excellent for the city of Leicester,

Those sort of things happen every season.

Well done Leicester a great achievement.

Is there a glitch in the matrix or something? People seem genuinely happy for them - a club whose fans don't a have a good thing to say about us.

Yeah, i love the fact that today I'll spend the day having my club ridiculed by Leicester fans at work. I love the fact that driving through Nuneaton this morning I saw three Leicester flags hanging from windows. I love the fact that a mate sent me a video from a pub in Nuneaton on Sunday full of Leicester fans singing we hate cov scum.

Horrible club. Happy for them? Not a chance.

The way to change it is to rise above it....not replicate it.

 

[torchomatic]

Pleased for them. Good for football.

Well done Leicester City we envy you and we dream on...

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Sent a message to my friend who is a Leicester fan last night, and he was happy obviously and said you never know one day it could happen to you

 

[rupert_bear]

A minimum 150million quid in their coffers, perhaps it might show would be interested parties the Premiership isn't all about London and Manchester. It might even show sisu there's other ways of running a football club, but I won't hold my breath on that one !

As a CCFC fan of over 50 years, I echo these sentiments.

As a football fan in general it's good to see a small club win the Premiership and I'm doubly delighted for Claudio who was shit on big time by that twat Ambramovich.

We can only dream.

Think it comes down to age. I'm 42 and started going in 86. Leicester don't come on my radar as a rival anymore than the likes of Walsall or Wolves do. Until we dropped into the championship during the time I've been a supporter we have rarely been in the same division. Now Villa on the other hand ...

Couldn't agree more in many respects. I live out this way in LE10 and can echo that if Cov had any success at all they would hate it. On the night of our glorious day in 1987 I came back to Hinckley with a few mates and went to a pub in town which had turned into a meeting place that night for celebrating Sky Blues, Leicester fans came in and caused trouble, they couldn't stand it. The Leicester fans in Leicester itself are a different proposition and are generally a better bunch but the hordes in SW Leics and some in Nuneaton despise us ! Fuck 'em !

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

As a neutral football fan I can only watch in awe at one of the greatest sporting achievements in history.

 

[Steve.B50]

We are based in Hinckley and everyone who works here is a Coventry fan, what is annoying us is that all of a sudden everyone in Leicestershire is a massive loyal LCFC fan. On the bandwagon.

Personally I do not mind the team but I am not a big fan of Leicester supporters.

Just posted on another thread, that I feel sorry for the Sky Blue half of Hinckley

They tend to allow that dortnof thing on roundabouts.

Very nice but will all of them be at the club next year? Is the national job available in Italy?

I have had a bit of stick today working in Leicester but not too bad

It's embarrassing to be so bitter. Maybe if you just took a step back every now and then and admitted that they're smashing it and that you'd give anything to trade places, you wouldn't get the piss taken out of you so much...

[Huckerby]

Are they? Why? Because they're up the M69? When did we last even play them? Got to be over 4 years ago? Embarrassing to still try to claim to be rivals with someone ~50 league places above us who we haven't played for years.

 

[Ashdown]

You're embarrassing with silly pretensions that they don't give a shit about us. It's still a very strong football rivalry in certain parts of the border areas with Warks/Leics. Over a period of perhaps 40 years both Cov and Leicester Firms dropped by Hinckley regularly to cause mayhem in the pubs. Kids like me grew up here, proud of a Coventry heritage with parents who came here and could take advantage of free buses laid on to the car factories etc but we were singled out by the majority Leicester locals and it often wasn't just friendly rivalry ! I have many 'Leicester supporting mates' but there will always be a small divide between their friendship with me and with their other friends of a Royal Blue persuasion. If you haven't lived with it then I guess you wouldn't know.

 

[M&B Stand]

What's annoying, apart from completely OTT coverage today (can't wait for the news tonight), is the claim its the best ever achievement in football. Is it fuck, Win the European cup 2 years on the spin like forest did then I'll concede it'd be up there.
