GenBr Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Leicester guaranteed Champions League football at the very least next season now - hopefully they can push on and win the league as well to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 After seeing Spurs' result against Man U yesterday it got me thinking: Just how much are ALL non Spurs fans going to hate them if they end up overtaking Leicester now. Worth them letting Leicester win it now if only to ensure decent PR from the inevitable film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Personally I don't mind if it's Spurs or Leicester. As long as its not Man C, Man U, Liverpool or Chelsea. Don't even mind if Arsenal managed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I won't hate them - Leicester fans were waving 'Champions' scarves last night. A collapse at this point would be more hilarious than anything else. Would also be funny to see Spurs beating Arsenal to the title and it would infuriate Arsenal fans even further when Wenger stays on and buys three players from the French third division.

I don't have anything against Leic, and I know it would be an amazing story and all, but I'm just a really big fan of Spurs' players, manager etc. I picked them as the team I wanted to see win the league at the start of the season and I don't really want to change that because an ending more story-book has reared its head. Leicester will probably win though, and good for them, good for football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 It's great that Leicester look like breaking the 'big four' monopoly of the Premier League. They're one of those clubs for which I feel a complete indifference towards so them winning the league or getting relegated - it makes no odds to me. However, the drop in standard of the PL compared even to 3 or 4 years ago is incredible so unless things start improving, any promoted side should feel optimistic about staying up. Of the 3 promoted sides from last season only Norwich look in danger of a swift return to the Championship and if they can turn over Sunderland next weekend then they to are probably safe.

Often overlooked because of Leicester's story, but Spurs are also in the process of doing that, West Ham also have an outside chance of adding to it. We need Leicester and Spurs to have decent transfer windows with the new draw of the CL that they have, personally if I was a top player I could have my head turned by both of them right now, with the way they play. I'd not have been interested in he "big 4" for the last few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Leicester, they will strengthen but look at teams that have got into the top 4 without any other competitions and how they have performed the following season, even some of the bigger teams, like Liverpool and Man Utd recently, and they have struggled in the league.

archram Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I was born and brought up in Sileby - between Loughborough and Leicester. In the factory where he worked my dad was the only Rams fan! Thank goodness he had the sense to remain so! Mind you, in those days ( late 40s, early 50s) the rivalry was just a bit of mickeytaking. We used to go to Filbert St if we fancied watching the visiting team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
