If ever a sentence proved a point. No one can say we don't deserve it. We've only won 1 of 6 games against the other three clubs in the bottom four.

Just like us against Cardiff, Villa were massively galvanised by the crowd making some noise for a change. "Protests will harm the team!" Aye, they will if you know absolutely fuck all about atmosphere at football matches.

That's it, we're down. Nice one NUFC.

Cisse had one. It was rubbish but it was on target. Really poor so far.

Mackems level.

Every away team in the league winning or won... apart from us.

That was a blatant yellow card.

Cisse ffs

Phew, really good challenge from Dummett.

SSN trying to sell Townsend.

Fucking hate Boro. So annoying.

I always say this and get shouted down, completely agree. It's the way he always says he wants a new challenge that makes me laugh. It's like someone who claims he's phenomenal at video games always playing on easy. Bit pathetic really. He'll go after the Celtic job next.

"He was misquoted, he actually said I was a complete cunt."

It would have been an easy decision for Clattenburg to send him off for two yellows given that he'd already been booked, personally I thought it was an absolutely certain straight red.

Can't get over that Dier tackle at the end going unpunished.

Hull went 1 in 22 when they stayed up st at our expense in 2008-09.

I hope the one thing that comes out of Leicester's victory is a bit more questioning of the PFMs, instead of having carte blanche to come into proud clubs, stink the place up with dreary football, finish just above the drop zone and then say "well, what more do you expect, the title!?" I don't expect it to happen in the media but fans should really be standing up a bit more now instead of just settling for absolute garbage all the time.

The mackems had 1 win in 29 () when they got 15 points.

I thought the seeding went by the club's ranking rather than the country's, which is why Man City always had Bayern Munich in their group when they started playing in the CL? Have I made that up?

It is and it isn’t. It’s definitely reasonable to suggest that the playing field has been levelled somewhat, and that the money that the clubs owned by oligarchs/sheikhs have access to is becoming subject to diminishing returns – most PL clubs could now afford almost any player in Europe, bar a select few, many of whom are either already quite happy at Real/Barca/Bayern, or would prefer to go there given the choice anyway. That doesn’t explain Leicester though, whose starting XI cost, in modern PL terms, an absolute pittance. My view is that the money the richest clubs have splurged over the last few years has become a bit of a hindrance. Building a balanced team probably seems like a bit too much effort when you can just buy an expensive superstar to replace whichever expensive superstar isn’t performing, and that’ll usually work 95% of the time, at least domestically. ‘High transfer fees/wage bills = success’ is the formula that top level English football has been hanging its hat on for a while now, and even when better, cheaper teams spring up around Europe, closing the gap tactically instead of financially (Atleti, Dortmund), the rich PL clubs have shut their eyes and said “no problem, we’ll just spend more again”. Eventually though, you just end up with several groups of really good individuals, incredibly inconsistent as collectives, and they’ve all been sucker punched this year by a ragtag group of players who have stuck together for several years, with a few gradually introduced additions, and just become a bloody good team. I think the Leicester players would be well-advised to stay where they are and see what happens next season – I don’t see any of them going elsewhere and bettering themselves individually, as a group they’re the greatest example of “more than the sum of their parts” that I’ve ever seen in football.

I think they'll do it for the Liverpool game on Thursday. Suspect they'll fancy that to be less predictable than tomorrow's match.

I think it's unfair to focus on the low points total. If you're in a league, once you get to the business end, you focus on the teams around you and the points they have, you don't race to get yourself to an arbitrary points total that you don't actually need. If Leicester really needed more points, they may have upped their game and beaten WBA/West Ham/Man United during the run in. But they didn't need them. Personally I think Leicester have got no chance whatsoever of mounting another title challenge next year, or even a European one. But they've just won the title and made everyone who has ever commented on football look bloody stupid, so what the fuck do I know?
