High Five o Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Merson also said a team like Leicester would never win the Premier league again in a million years, I can honestly see it happening again next season I honestly can not see it. They have been on a high all season, kept their heads down and done the job. My feeling is that they will get this massive deflated feeling after the season when the celebration is over, and its all history. I can not see all their players managing to reset, get in the "zone" and keep going like they have this season unfortunately. I have a feeling Kante and Mahrez is gone in the summer too. Hope they prove me wrong, but i can not for the life of me see they maintain this form another season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 The big sides haven't turned up this season either. As great a run as Leicester had, in a "regular" season that point total most of the time doesn't land you the trophy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As great a run as Leicester had, in a "regular" season that point total most of the time doesn't land you the trophy. The maximum amount of points Leicester can get is 83, since the turn of the century that would have only won you the league twice, 3 times depending on GD.

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Seem to remember Liverpool finishing on 89 and coming 2nd as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 It's been the perfect storm for them, honestly. I do think that it's unlikely that a team like Leicester will actually win the league again any time soon, but with the sheer amount of money in the Premiership these days I do think we'll see a larger window of opportunity for unfancied teams to push on and go close on a more regular basis. Yes the likes of Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs will still vastly outspend other clubs but when you have the whole league capable of splashing out 40m on players in a summer there's the chance there for midtable teams to do some real damage if they spend the money wisely and have a good manager.

Optimistic Nut Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I doubt anyone will win it again like Leicester, but I do think you'll get the odd unexpected team who push 3rd/4th more frequently now. Most teams have 4-5 very good players now. Just takes a season with no injuries, top form, who get off to a good start and gain confidence and momentum. I'm thinking the likes of Southampton, West Ham, even Stoke in the short term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. It basically sums up why I'm so desperate for us to stay in the division. Cliche-riffic but the landscape of the PL is changing and really anything can happen now.

joeyt Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hats off to Pardew for the nice, 17th-minute touch when, as is their routine, the ground broke into spontaneous applause in memory of home fans John Alder and Liam Sweeney as well as other victims of the MH17 disaster and he joined in with a minute-long demonstration of pronounced clapping. Deep down, many Newcastle fans know that, although far from a flawless manager, he is essentially a decent guy who ended up a puppet of Mike Ashley’s St James’ Park regime Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
