Too bad if you wanted to watch MOTD after the news not knowing the Chelsea result.

Remember the first MOTD next season, Lineker presenting in his slacks

Absolutely.
Just compare the way he's conducted himself with subtlety and grace all the way through this season to the quite opposite way Mourinho was carrying on at the start of the season. Well, the latter got fired and the former won the title. There is a man, though, who kickstarted this whole process just over a year ago who I don't think deserves to be forgotten even though he was a lunatic - Nigel Pearson. He kept Leicester up and paved the way for this to happen. He deserves all of the praise that will inevitably come his way. |

Anyone else find it amusing, and a bit pathetic, that the Chelsea players put more of an effort in for Ranieri and Leicester tonight than they have for either of their actual managers this season?

I certainly don't expect a 5,000-1 team winning the premier league in my lifetime again.
The bookies won't ever want to chance getting caned like this ever again. |

I hope they dont interview Nigel Pearson about Leicester winning the title as with his big head, he probably say it was all down to him

No, but I think it'll be more down to the bookies never offering those kind of odds again on teams. Burnley, Middlesbrough and, for the sake of argument, Brighton would all get long odds if they all do end up promoted, but I don't think it would be any greater than 500/1.
The bookies won't ever want to chance getting caned like this ever again. Over 95% of the money taken by bookies on teams to win the prem was on the top 5 favourites... |

Now that's incredibly rich coming from a United fan but there you go.
Chelsea players have being ringing it in all season then all of a sudden they can be bothered to play 1 game. Chelsea put more effort in that final 45 minutes than the whole of joses time this season. |

The odds on them getting relegated next season will be similar so i'll certainly be having a punt on both. |

Dont remember us turning up just to stop man city winning the league or anyone else.
Chelsea players have being ringing it in all season then all of a sudden they can be bothered to play 1 game. Chelsea put more effort in that final 45 minutes than the whole of joses time this season. Not sure how the second most successful PL club can be considered small time but I guess thats your opinion I agree about the players but no idea how that reflects on the club itself. |

This season has proved that you dont need to spend millions on players All you need is to recruit the right players, Have a great team spirit and being well organised as a team by a good manager, And you can be successful
