Nice to see Chelsea finishing in mid table :lol:
Agreed - great to see Leicester win (and great to see Spurs bottle it.....again!) :D
Congratulations LCFC, well deserved!!

Special mention to the champion dummy spitters Alli & Dembele - gimme my trophy or I'll punch you & gouge your eye out :lol:
Bottling it never came into the equation, Spurs lost the title in January when they slaughtered Leicester on every stat but the one that matters and after that they were always chasing the game. As for the Chelsea match, poor defending from set pieces, but happy that we can now go to Stamford Bridge and have them park the bus and think that a draw at home is something to celebrate.

Anyone fancy a grand on Leicester finishing above Spurs next year, let me know, all bets will be accepted. :wink:

Spurs couldn't sustain a title chase = BOTTLED IT!
Spurs haven't won at Stamford Bridge for 26 years = FACT!

As for celebrating parking the bus against you lot - don't make me laugh. Real Chelsea supporters are not happy someone else won it, Spurs fans aim at the start of the season is to get a Champions League place, ours is to be champions - therein lies the difference.

That being said I hope all your England players get suspended for the rest of the season so that they can rest up for the Euros now! :lol: For the record this was the first time in a long time I thought we might lose our record at home against them - they are a very good side (jeeeeeeeeeeeez that hurts to say it!)
Credit to Leicester though - a fantastic story and truly showed the value of team work and playing for each other. Pleased for Ranieri as well - to do it in the toughest league with a team the least fancied of all the teams he has managed is a great achievement..

Don't bottle it :lol:

I know a few chelsea season ticket holders. They were celebrating at full time. Not because they got a draw though but because they stopped spurs winning the title.

I find it funny that even when they aren't mentioned, Man Utd fans feel they need to point out how inferior their club is by mentioning Liverpool.

:lol:

Fantastic to watch a small club mix it with the elite and battle hard to get a good result - join me in congratulating Liverpool in getting to the Europa cup final.

Not really poaching if you activate the release clause in his contract is it?

Their luck, that's been so desperately missing in the EPL, has returned with a vengeance in the CL.

Can they do the impossible again and win it?

Imagine they did but still got relegated, despite the odds against it happening. Leicester v Barca :shock: the week after losing to Swansea in a relegation battle (for example)!

they wont get relegated from here.. the positive confidence amongst the players now will surely be enough to ride out the min points required.. and to reach the CL quarter finals is fantastic..

if they avoid relegation which i think they will, it will be two overall positive seasons for the club bar the disgraceful sacking of ranieri

I thought the sending off was a bit rich, Vardy made out he was hit hard, when they just pushed heads with no force.

Very poor sportsmanship.

They both got booked but it was Nasri's second yellow. Just shows that, despite leaving the Gooners, you still remain dumb.

Apparently according to the experts on BEIN Sports it's only the Spanish & Italians who fake injury to get players booked or sent off or receive free kicks or penalties. Well done to Rudd Guilt for stating the odvious that the English are just as guilty of it but they just distort the reporting of it
Vardy is embarrassing & over-rated.
