agreed, much like the champions league itself

whole thing is up its own backside, but might as well be inside the tent than outside looking in

Does show how far Leicester have come and that's a helluva line up from the rest of Europe, not sure how they'd view being lumped in the English tier 2 with Chelsea & Liverpool

even though the mere mention of it is putting the cart before the horse, this is ridiculous.

Leicester to be placed in top Champions League pot if they win the Premier League. More: http://skysports.tv/Cx1Ou7

Ha, get you.

Enjoy, I know all of football will share the journey.

Best thing that's happened in the Premier League for many a moon, the Old Order is in tatters, with Spurs, West Ham, Southampton & Stoke all in the Top 10, & starting to threaten.

I'm about 17 weeks too late, but I'm finally gonna transfer in Kasper and Huth into my fantasy team.

I was running away with my league, now I'm 4th. If only I didn't announce in February that I was intending to change my team name next season.

Fuchs not Huth please

cheaper, plenty of assists and he is going to score a free kick any game now

I really wasn't enjoying it - was brought up singing 'We all follow the Arsenal, over land and sea (and Leicester)' -  seems no dignity in finishing behind Leicester :-)

But I'm coming round. Heard some lazy pundits the other day talking about how big Arsenal, City et al had to spend in the summer to win the league next year and it fair had me steaming. Literally shouting, ffs, Leicester are about to win the farkin league and we all have to spend big ?

How about buying/developing better players, how about solid tactics and a decent dose of desire. Premier league Football is just beyond ridiculous with the money, expectation and entitlement feelings and so I got a grip of myself (have shed my sense of entitlement) and decided to enjoy Leicester winning if they do and stick one in the eye of the fatter cats.

^^^^^

Amen to that.

Just because some teams are awash with cash does not mean they have to spend it on transfer fees or that it will guarantee success.

Plenty of evidence around to support this.

Agreed there are going to be some shocking 15 million pound players next season I reckon.
