"Leicester City are 2015/16 Premier League Champions"


          

Unbelievable.
5000/1 odds hit. For comparison, there wasn't a single team in Division 1 football or basketball this past year that got bellow 2000/1 odds to win a title.

Their starting lineup cost a total of $30MM in transfer fees. There are 37 individual players in the Premier League alone whose transfer fees were more expensive than that total. In 2009, when, by comparison, Sergio Aguero was in his penultimate year at Atletico Madrid prior to a $52MM move to Manchester City, Leicester's leading scorer, Jamie Vardy, was playing semi-pro, nonleague football at Stocksbridge Steels, working a manufacturing job on the side and playing games wearing a police monitoring device because of a fight he had gotten in.

Now this.


Hard to really put this all into context.

Tottenham completely fell apart yesterday. Granted, they were still holding on by a thread, but to have a two goal lead in a game that you had to win and end up being goaded into a tie through dirty play (I think the Spurs got 9 yellows) is inexcusable. The game was beyond chippy, it was straight out dirty (both ways), and for Tottenham to fall into it shows they aren't ready for prime time IMO.

I'm just happy that Leicester doesn't win the League against my Everton FC this week.

That was super predictable. I actually called both the Leicester/United and Spurs/Chelsea scores, such a predictable collapse.

still upset at the starting lineup.

Hazard declared himself back last week with the 2 goals, and you bench him this week??

came on at half time and was terrorizing Spurs. had to rewind and show my stepson his movement on the 2nd goal.








Kane is monster though. look forward to seeing what England does in the Euros.

That's good news for you, Norwich City and Newcastle! I expect this to pay out in approximately three decades (maybe)

I'm sure LC fans may feel differently, and it's not how sports works, but in terms of overall storyline it would be incredible

Nah.

I ain't expect the drop to be this drastic, though. I figured they'd end up 13th or something. Still possible.
