NFT: Leicester City clinch the BPL...unbelievable...

bw in dc : 5/2/2016 5:04 pm
Chelsea pulls a rabbit out of hat and draws with Tottenham this evening in London. And that clinches one of the most improbable championship runs ever in a major team sport...

5000/1 to start the season...

is unbelievable. One of the best stories in sports in a long time. What an upset from a gritty, well coached, team.
I hope they try to spend some money...

to keep the team mostly in tact so they give a decent title defense next season.

Vardy and Mahrez were just out of their minds brilliant this year...

Agree! It's a terrific story and the entire team has been all in on Ranieri and each other--and as to the effectiveness of Vardy and Mahrez up front, yes, they've been awesome, but let's not forget the timely hardworking and creative work of Okazaki and the tireless work of Kante who allows the forwards to attack with the occasional impunity. Huth and Morgan have been pillars.
I've likened them to the Kansas City Royals; their roster doesn't blow you away, but they all buy in toward the same goal.
Wish I could be in a LC pub the next few nights: Kingpower.

Even if they tried to spend money top players won't choose to go to Leicester over the bigger clubs. They are gonna struggle keeping some of their own as Mahrez and Konte are already linked to moves to clubs like Barcelona and PSG respectively.

"Mahrez and Konte are already linked to moves" ... and then they will have some BIG money to spend after that ...
