Trying to think of a bigger feat in football history, can't think of one, certainly not in my lifetime
Blackburn winning The Prem is up there I suppose but this is like The Faroe Islands winning the World CupAs @Rich_G says, well pleased for Ranieri and without wanting to say 'I told ya', I remember chatting with mates about his appointment in the Summer and they were all miffed and I was fighting his corner saying it could be a bloody shrewd move. You don't manage Chelsea and Juventus if you're wank

On a more depressing note - Burnley back in the big time
Oh do fuck off 😒

I'm entertained we've pissed off someone with promotion. Goodison is probably my favourite premier league stadium (admittedly I've not been to Newcastle yet).
Rover's winning the league is nowhere near the same, they were the original sugar daddy team with the most expensive signing of all time.

Joey Barton's hilarious.

Congratulations to Leicester. A great story and it's so refreshing to see in this day and age. This video says it all really.

Glad that Leicester won the league, Ranieri being in charge is the icing on the cake, well and truly deserved. You can't buy spirit and commitment like that.

And to think, it also started with a Thai hooker, a mobile phone and an arsehole
-
Who's the arsehole?
Ken Bates, Dennis Wise, John Terry or Robbie Savage?

well done leicester tigers
If we bury another king we could be holding the Stanley Cup this time next year.
This is still sinking in. One Eden Hazard ...

YES! Lived in Leicester my whole life and currently extremely proud.
Have to admit I've never really been a football fan but started to pay attention when they went into the premiership. Never realised how huge this was until I went traveling. When I'd get asked where I was from, I'd simply say "just over a hour north of London" and since the premiership I've just said "Leicester City".
The current mood in the city is absolutely electric. Leicester have needed something like this for so so long, to the extent the council have even prepared land very close to the stadium and main shopping areas to cope with the tourism! It's a real shame they built on the Velodrome, this is roughly 1/2 mile from the King Power stadium and about the same from the rugby ground.
Fun fact:
I used to work in a designer clothing store in Leicester and the footballers used to come in. I had absolutely no idea who any of them were, they used to receive a large sportsman discount, a few of them had to tell me who they were...
Fact no.2:
I got invited to an evening at King Power just before Christmas, I was sat on a table with Steve Walsh, Robbie Savage, Alan Shearer and Chris from Kasabian.
...I had to ask Chris who the other chaps were.

Well done Leicester etc etc. Can't say I'm not bitter about it, having waited most of my life for Spurs to come good again - definitely feel that this year was the 'perfect storm' for an underdog. We probably won't get another chance as good as that. Quite how they managed to keep such a small group of players injury-free for so much of the season is an achievement on it's own. Arsenal should be sniffing around their medical staff.
They certainly deserved it and it's amazing for football.

No, a literal arsehole. One of the players was getting his hoop lapped at by the brass
You not seen the video?
-
Pilot?
-
No, kind of though.
When you look at Greece winning that or Wigan or winning the FA Cup it's only over 6/8 games
