All I see is you being desperate to somehow root out some people having sour grapes.
Winning the title once has no bearing on future success. Consistency is key, they will need to do it again before anyone considers them a threat that is here to stay. I really dont see why that is so difficult for you to understand. The true sour grape fans of big clubs are coming out. So what if Leiciester don't win it again there name will be on the trophy they will have the open top bus live for this season I believe any Leiciester fan should enjoy it as for consistency tell me why this squad will become a bad squad next season? Is Vardy past it after one season? Is the keeper who's been there for many seasons now going to lose form? Explain? |

It can happen just look what happened to Chelsea this season. I imagine one of Kante or Mahrez will leave in the summer. They'll have to find a good replacement
Mahrez should stay rather than warm a bench at Barca. It would be more fun for a player as seen in many seasons getting goals against the best teams in the world. |

I couldn't give a toss about them winning the title. It will be good for the league but I just find your insistance that they are here to stay, without any kind of realistic questioning, utterly baffling. |

Anybody wanting them to fail also never read how there scouting network found Mahrez and they have loads of targets lined up. Can't wait to see the summer window. As I say even Arsenal couldn't sign up the the Leiciester scouting network.

Ah I see, you have a hatred for United fans. I understand your constant desperation to call "sour grapes" now.

Luckily most fans have been supportive of Leiciester and it's great for football only a few shallow minded fans will come on a netural thread to say Spurs or Leiciester have been poor or question there mentality at winning.

I am simply questioning your apparent insistence that they are going to be there or thereabouts next season. I dont understand where that mentality comes from. But you have somehow translated that into "people want them to fall over". |

I actually feel Spurs play great football I enjoy that they score more goals and 2nd shouldn't be snubbed I don't remember them finishing above Arsenal in some years and yes I had to google that answer it's here in a live countdown http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...he-league.html

im struggling with the logic that all the fans of the traditional top 4 are so bitter about Leicester City. Is the suggestion that a Man Utd fan would rather see City or Liverpool win the title or an Arsenal fan would rather see Chelsea or United win it? Of course not. No fan want to see their rivals doing well.

When you've spent an evening basically making up arguments about 'top four' fans having sour grapes and being bitter, you're not exactly a model of neutrality.
Or Bournemouth how did they stay up had a fantastic season I can talk plenty about different sides this year. For me the clubs in the bottom have been dodging relegation for a few seasons. I'm sad at Villas fall because I remember them finshing in the old UEFA cup spots now Europa Leauge since Martin O'Neill left it's went downhill. I hope one of the Championship clubs does well next season too. Another club Watford I believe could compete they have flirted with top four this season but lacked consistency. But they are a club which has only ever spent one season in the top I am delighted this "new order" is changing too as Leiciester are another club like that. West Brom is a fine example of stability and Stoke. |

Agreed. As if Chelsea fans want to see Spurs or Arsenal win it. Some people have a bizarre way of thinking.
The under dog being Leiciester I never mentioned Arsenal to win it. |

My nose is more put out by people who prior to Christmas couldn't name a single outfield Leicester player who wasn't called Vardy, suddenly now toasting their imminent success as if it's something they've shared in.
There's a difference between acknowledging what's set to be an extraordinary achievement and somehow pretending that Leicester have been your second favourite team all along. |

Okay maybe nobody said poor but the same people said they would fall away by Xmas all I'm saying there's as much chance of relegation as another title but it's because they are not a big club I hear often of it was United or city top that would be it over so I get it but for me a good footballing side it doesn't matter who they are I believe that squad has played beyond its brand so to speak.
I actually feel Spurs play great football I enjoy that they score more goals and 2nd shouldn't be snubbed I don't remember them finishing above Arsenal in some years and yes I had to google that answer it's here in a live countdown http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/foo...he-league.html ![]() I'm in the Leicester won't repeat their success again next year camp. Not because I am bitter or have sour grapes or whatever else you want to refer to it as, but because I am realistic. Looking at the other clubs - there is no way they can all be as bad as they were this season, particularly Chelsea and Man City. And that is part of the reason for Leicester's success this season, yes they've played well but it helps that everyone else has been below par. I'm not saying I want Leicester to fall, but I would be surprised to see them finish in the top 4 next season, especially if they lose Kante and/or Mahrez. But hey, just my opinion. |

Graeme Souness wasn't very complimentary against Leicester at half time in there match yesterday, but changed his mind at the end.
It is great to see Leicester doing so well, also Bournemouth and Watford, it shows clubs can come up and do well, all last seasons promoted clubs could end up staying up which would be good. As for Newcastle and Sunderland, there are only so many seasons, you can hang around the bottom without going down. |
