Everyone can see it's happening but no one can believe it. Leicester City, my local team, are 5 points clear at the top of the English Premier League with 7 games to go. This time last year we were at the bottom. What's happening now is comparable to what Nottingham Forest did under Brian Clough in 1978. It's the stuff of football dreams. We finished 2nd in 1929 and 3rd in 1963, so this will be our first ever league victory, and by the way we've been FA Cup runners-up four times, so we've never had that trophy either.
So how has it happened? Nigel Pearson built a damn good team, and after Claudio Ranieri took over, he continued the momentum. He's determined to win a league for the first time and most of the players want to prove themselves too, old and young. But crucially, the usual top 4-6 teams in the league are all playing shit this season, which has paved the way for Leicester. When other smaller teams have played exceptionally well in this league in seasons past, at least one of these top clubs tended to be too good for them. But not this time! Only Arsenal are their usual selves, i.e. finishing third.
History is being made at the King Power stadium! Remember the motto: Foxes never quit!
WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE! WE'RE TOP OF THE LE-E-EAGUE! WE'RE LEICESTER CITY, WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

Now that you have made this thread you will jinx it.
Hope they do win though, put a tenner on them at 20/1 around Christmas.

GJ with that bet, although a few lucky punters stand to collect a bit more than that (and some have bottled it and collected less, early).
TBH, I think any jinxing was already done by the fans at Palace who sang "we're gonna win the league" for 15+ mins solid at the end of the match :)

Mahrez & Vardy FTW! :)

Do you play fantasy premier league?

I don't.

7 points ahead with 3 games left. It's imminent now, guys. Leicester are the champions in waiting ;D
Some people have theorised that King Richard III's spirit has been helping Leicester, ever since his recently discovered body was reburied here. Or is it just a coincidence that Leicester's dramatic improvement near the end of last season started after that burial? Tee hee.

Its nice to see.
But dont call it too early. I saw too much crazy shit happen in football. Winning / losing championships in the last seconds.

Hahaha, indeed. Eden's goal was spectacular, a great footballing moment. ^^Nice photo too!
Well, the impossible has happened and I still can't believe it. Now Europe awaits...
Funnily enough, several minutes after Leicester City won the league, Mark Selby - from Leicester - won the Snooker world championship. I suppose it would be too much to ask for me to win a WA cup this year as well :)
