5000 to 1 outsiders, incredible story against all the odds, to beat the biggest clubs in the world, just shows it can be done if the heart is there.

Perhaps inspiration for the WAFL clubs to challenge Subi..lol

Well done to Leicester. In truth their the weakest championship winning side since Villa in about 1982. Everybody else underperformed, which of course, is the reason why people are startting to complain about Wenger at Arsenal. They were top in January, beat Leicester twice, but were unable to win the title -- pathetic.

The foxes were able to go on with it, fended of a late charge from Spurs, none of the other giants could get it together in the same way, consistency was the key.

Baz -- true enough; it was crying out for someone to play a sweeper behind Vardy, but no manager did it. Let us hope that Leicester enjoy their spoils.

I liked the odds. Someone had a 1000 pounds on them & was offered 2m Pounds to cash in bet. Also the odds of finding the Loch Ness monster or Elvis alive were shorter..

I wonder what the odds for them to be relegated next season are? Probably worth a bet B)

Great story of a team with a total value of less than one particular Manchester City player, but playing as a team. No egos just a real team ethic which has won out. A manager who is also humble and very positive towards his players. An inspiration for all underdogs in the sporting arena.

My favourite was the banner being held by a fan at Old Trafford the other day when they were playing off for the title, it read "we are not going down" meaning they were not going to be relegated which was what the bookmakers were saying would happen at the start of the season.

Without any doubt this victory will be the subject of a movie in due course.

Bloody remarkable achievement when you look at the whole picture - I only hope the big clubs are kept away from poaching their few star players like Vardy

Good on them for breathing new life into a money dominated comp

Well done to the Foxes.Even a few weeks ago just had the feeling the pressure from Spurs would have Leicester go over the edge.Great result for the EPL and the big5 not so happy.
The Manager Ranieri has done an amazing job,OUTSTANDING B) .This side has played above them selves for 36 Premiership matches,FA Cup,League Cups and other Cups.A long 8 month+ season and they have just kept going,at this high level..
