I doubt this thread will gain much traction, but I thought a quick shout-out to Leicester City for winning the English Premier League was in order.

According to some, this is the greatest football upset in the history of the league. 20 teams in the EPL, Leicester were 5000 to 1 odds on winning at the start of the season.

Incredible scenes. Fair play to them.

It has been a long drawn out process but we are coming to the end of it. It had to go through a procedure called finding of fact. It was found to have no facts. My wives sister took the stand and threw a can of coke at the judge, lol mad bitch. Shes now living in a secure unit in Scotland. We have a final court date in june for the children. We are waiting on parent assessments to be written on us (Which should have been written already). Ive also got a court date in june for the cultivation and supply, which ive had to plead guilty to. I could write a whole lot more but ill leave it there, respects to you for remembering brother.

For sure. Best Spurs side since Bale Modric VDV. Next season should be interesting.

Very weird! Did you catch the parade around Leicester on TV the other day? Huge crowds. Total one-off season, so they should enjoy it.

I bet Vardy's goal against Liverpool takes goal of the season. I think people are going to vote for it because of the season they've had.

Great accomplishment from Leicester! I'll admit that I'm losing interest in football (commercialism, hype, obscene amounts of money, Louis Van Gaal) but can't deny Leicester and their supporters on this one. Must be walking in dreamland...I hope they scare the living shit out of the Champions League big boys....

Na I lived in Leicester for 10 years as a kid, football isn't my game, Leicester Tigers they're not bad. But then they don't make the headlines very often!

Leicester winning is a huge upset. Newcastle getting relegated, not so much. They've been flirting with it for a few seasons by consistently making bad decisions at board level. They're a big(ish) club with great support, though, and really shouldn't be anywhere near a relegation dogfight. They dropped down a few years ago and bounced right back up again, so I expect the same to happen next season.
