These things happen once in a generation.Ipswich won the first division in 1961/62 after winning the second division the previous year (in the era of the Spurs double winning side) and Forest did the same in 1977/78.

The real story is the underachievement of the big spending clubs.

I wonder did the rules on spending limits have any impact. Fair play to Ranieri.
you would feel sorry for Nigel Pearson.

Theyd probably be fighting relegation under him.

In fairness their great form started under him when he saved them from relegation.
Would they have won the league under him is another question.

Also consider Ranieri was sacked by Greece for their abysmal performance in Euro qualifying group containing N Ireland.Management is a bit of a lottery.

Their S&C coach use to work for MAPEI sports in Italy, MAPEI are synonymous with Professional Cycling.

Such an improvement can only be achieved instantly by blood doping.

Is that not libellous?

Has this person got nothing better to do with their time? (or are some bitter fan from one of Leicester's local rivals, Forest or Derby)

As Underdog achievements go this is right up there with Louth winning Leinster in 2010.

Delighted to see the fairytale kept alive.

Shades of Arseton Vile under Tony Barton. Good luck to them.

Absolutely hilarious stuff, teams spending millions on ball playing defenders and Leicester come along and with a formula so simple it is making a mockery of the rich clubs - pack everyone behind the ball, get a weasel that can run fast and just stick the laces in the ball every time it gets within 40 yrds of your goal.  Priceless.  I cannot wait to see how Barca, Madrid or Munich deal with them if they draw them.  The worst draw they could get is Juventus as the Italians know their way round but apart from that they could rattle any of the fancy footballing teams.

Disgraceful how the players treated the previous manager.

The italians know their way around? Are you assuming that this version of Juve are the same as the Italian defensive kingpins of the 90s? I'm not so sure.
