Vardy leaving Leicester at the end of the season. You'd think he's nailed on for a cushy Saudi/MLS gig 

He can go and work on his rag and bone business. Bloody Steptoe look a like.

Saudi ? He might give Sheffield Wednesday another go.

Got to pay his wife's legal bills somehow!

Well that libel lawsuit won't pay for itself.

I actually think it’s been a good season. The premier league is incredibly strong.

The midtable teams are playing better football and are much more difficult to beat, and there isn't much separating 3rd place from 6th,7th either.

it's really hard to actually quantify. At the end of the day, the best team in England wins the league and are the champions of 2025 any worse than the champions of say 2011 or 1997 or whatever? 

Seen a load of people suggesting it's a really weak EC this season but at the end of the day you can only beat those in front of you. You can't cherry pick Milan 1995, Barca 2009, Liverpool 1977, Ajax 1972 etc

Exactly, the other reason is just anti Liverpool bitterness. They'll do all the mental gymnastics in the world to find an excuse to discredit it.

We finished with 97 and 92 points with no title, but they still took the p1ss out of us for not winning it.

All in all... Quite the career that no one would have seen coming when he joined them. Won both the PL and the FA Cup and played in the Champions league quarter finals, all for Leicester.. Pretty mad that! 

[Cheesecake]

We as a club must be really lucky cos anytime we win a trophy, every other team is either in bad form, past their best, bollixed with injuries or have been robbed by VAR and bad luck. Usually a combination of all of these.

 

 

or maybe they’re just bitter.

There's a few things happening simultaneously, which doesn't suit click bait headline makers and the other c**** for their Bad League narrative 

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

these c**** are a cancer on football

 

Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, the referee for Saturday’s Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona, was brought to tears on Friday, responding to a critical video published by Real’s in-house TV channel

 

Hope they lose and he gives a mad controversial call against them

I reckon the VAR guys threat there can only manifest if no officials show for the match.

Worst case scenario is Arsenal city Chelsea Newcastle fill the gaps behind us, with Arsenal, United and Chelsea winning in Europe and city winning fa cup. 

ideal is Arsenal getting caught up in race for top 5, forest, villa, Newcastle, Arsenal fill out 2-5 and no English wins in Europe.
