Pah. Can't get into this Leicester love in at all. Club built on a deliberate administration to get a ground built for next to nowt thus sending local businesses bankrupt doesn't do it for me.

 

Fully agree, but I reckon that would pale into comparison when compared to some of the s*** the 'big clubs' have pulled over the last 10 years.

 

Yup. It's a weird mixture of pleasure and bitterness for me. There are definitely qualifiers you can apply - they do have a billionaire owner, their football is very straightforward (reminiscent of the "good" Villa under O'Neill, defend like crazy, attack on the break and with set-pieces), they have got the breaks (luck with injuries, generous reffing, minimal cup distractions) - but it's still a perfect example of what you can achieve with a clever manager and decent players. Your build a team to exploit your better players, and then introduce new players to slot into that team/squad. There truly are parallels with Clough's Forest, and I think also with Ron Saunders' Villa.

 

I'm mainly bitter because we somehow managed to lose to them having pretty much p*ssed it :lol:.

 

It's a brilliantly well constructed team as well, whether that's by luck or design. All their players know their jobs and execute them perfectly.
