Made the mistake of tuning into Talksport. The presenter:

 

'Poor Sam Allardyce has got nothing to work with here. There's got to be better players in the UK than these foreign mercenaries that have come to the Stadium of Light'

Fucking Leicester, man. It's like watching someone play a game of Football Manager.

 

Their football is a joy to watch tbh. The little triangles to bring the ball out and the way their players  hold the ball under pressure is top notch stuff. Anyone who thinks they would be producing that football under Nigel Pearson wants their head checked.

Kerchoff's reinvigorated their whole midfield. He was a beast again today. I don't know what planet these pundits are living on.

If Leicester win the league, where does it rank in terms of all-time footballing upsets? They were 5000/1 ffs - I'm genuinely struggling to think of anything that compares.

 

Same here, it's very different to even a cup upset, winning the league has shown that they have been the most consistent this year. Can't see them losing it now.

Planet Talksport.

 

Matterface, Saggers and that utter, utter cretinous imbecile Abrahams all idiots of the highest order.

Did the explain where they got 5 mins added time from in the end?

 

Was watching it in Hungarian

 

Schmeichel was told a couple of times to "nash on"

 

Allardyce casually lying through teeth in his post-match.

Leicester City are going to win the premier league and with points to spare. I can't get my head around it, it makes the Mighty Ducks story look like Man City's. Even that as a comparison doesn't do it justice, it'll be nothing short of the greatest sporting achievement of all time. And they completely deserve it.

Greece '04 is the only thing that comes close in my lifetime, I think, unless there's been some crazy upsets in the European domestic leagues I'm not aware of.

 

This is a substantially greater achievement than even that, however. A wonderful example to sport. Given the whole context, this has to be one of the greatest sporting achievements in modern history?

Forest winning the league and then the European Cup is probably the one to beat, but I think football has changed so much that this surpasses that. Any team can win a cup competition and Greece aren't really that different to Wimbledon or Wigan in the FA Cup imo.

I don't know enough about all sports to properly comment, but from my knowledge it's right up there as one of the greatest achievements surely. With the level of money involved and the level of ability within their team this is a truly sensational feat. They've shown that the basics of passion, determination, resilience, organisation and a good work ethic are the foundations for what makes champions, champions. That touch of class here or there undoubtedly helps and they have that in the likes of Mahrez and to a slightly lesser extent Vardy. Ranieri has proven just how good he is too. Top, top stuff from LCFC.
