Oh no doubt Chelsea had their fair share but towards the end of the game every Spurs player was trying to get sent off. They were actually just trying to fight the Chelsea team at the very end even after the FT whistle.

Congrats to Leicester! The scenes we're seeing here cap off a truly ridiculous season in all aspects.

I hope we sign Joey Barton in the summer and only play him against Arsenal & Chelsea

I'm honestly so delighted for Ranieri, he was a great manager when we had him and he's always been the perennial runner-up. Glad to see him finally have a winners medal. Well done Claudio.

On a purely footballing level I feel like this Spurs team is capable of great things, but they're a young bunch and need to calm down. Really lost their heads at the end of this game and West Brom. When you give up your lead, you need to just get your head down and play the football that got you the lead in the first place. It's basic stuff.

Leicester have won the title for innumerous reasons, but one of them is that they kept their calm and didn't falter in the face of pressure.

We'll be in the Champions League next year, and need to buckle down and secure second place. Without the title hoodoo dangling around, hopefully they can relax and just play football against Southampton and Newcastle.

Disgusting. He should miss the start of the next season as well. Had Costa done it he would get banned for 6 months.

Leicester home and away
Stoke home(2-0 to 2-2)
Newcastle(McClaren) home(up 1-0)
Arsenal home(11v10 up 2-1)
WBA home(up 1-0)
Chelsea away(up 2-0)

Dont say you didnt waste a golden opportunity. You wont finish ahead of Guardiola. So the earliest realistic shot at winning the title will be 2020.

My congrats to Leicester for writing the greatest sports story ever. From the great escape to the immaculate season.

What a perfect end to the season now, going forward: they get a home game in what'll be an absolute party, before going away to Chelsea, where Ranieri will get serenaded by the fans.

From the Internet:

So, in the future when my grandkids ask me of the biggest upset of all time, I'll tell them Leicester winning the premier league. They'll ask me to tell the story of it. Where do I start?

Sucks for Leicester if they win the title tomorrow when they've not even playing.

Although it would be hilarious though if Fabregas and Hazard suddenly turned up after all the talk in the press.


tbh I'll be happy to win it tomorrow and then we can play the last 2 games for fun.


You are such a good dude/poster. Why the **** are you a Heat fan? Who corrupted you?


:lol:

I was a big fan of Dan Marino and the dolphins and was in Miami to watch them when the Heat were started. Followed them ever since. Like Leicester through a lot of low times until Riley made us champions. :D
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

City isn't going to win the PL next year. Chelsea will dominate the league.
