    Just read a stat about Andy King. Has now one League 1, the Chapionship and Premier League titles with Leicester.

    Chris Solly will do all that and win the Champions League in the next four years
    Only if he stops being selfish and accepts a move to Gillingham

    It's been one day and I'm already fed up with hearing about their achievement.

    Jamie Vardy and his double

    And some bloke at the front, hogging the limelight as usual :smiley:

    Wait until Vardy scores the winner in a 4-3 champions league semi-final against Barcelona before going on to score a hat trick against Real Madrid in the final.

    Then the film rights will be worth their weight in gold.

    The Leicester team will be themselves in the film which will make the film truly awful.

    Ranieri has already stated he doesn't want to appear in any film.

    Karel Fraeye has been lined up as his replacement.

    They'll find some hipster in Hoxton to play Ben Hamer

    He won't need to be able to play football, as Ben doesn't play any football these days either!

    Apologies if anyone already beat me to any of these:

    According to the Guardian Football Weekly Podcast:

    Leicester's win %:

    While Richard III still buried in that car park - 32%
    While Richard III body in storage awaiting re-burial - 18%
    Since Richard III re-buried nearby their ground (the KING Power Stadium) - 65%

    Man Utd spent more in the last 2 years than Leicester have in their entire history.

    Peter Schmeichel's semen has beaten Liverpool to winning the Premier League.

    Crickey we're not advocating Roly underneath the Sam Bartram statue are we?

    So... WE have to find a long deceased King buried under a car park and reinter him in the Woolwich Free Baptist Church by the ferry roundabout!

    If we're going to link it in with our ground we'd probably need to find a Pharaoh and rename the ground the Valley of the Kings.

    Fantastic idea and a rapid wiki search suggests that Eadbald may be our man.

    Happily his remains are already known to be somewhere in Canterbury cathedral and he was enough generations in of the Kings of Kent to be not wholly Frankish.

    He also has a name that could provide a good chant or two to support our folically challenged players.

    Im sure the Archbishop of Canterbury being a decent cove would support the relocation to support the protests and future development of the club.

    Interesting comparison of stats:

    Average Possession - Arsenal 1st, Leicester 17th
    Average Passes Per Game - Arsenal 1st, Leicester 17th
    Passing Accuracy - Arsenal 1st, Leicester 20th
    Shots on Target - Arsenal 2nd, Leicester 5th
    League Table - Arsenal 3rd, Leicester Champions

    Conclusion - Arsenal keep possession, pass the ball to death and accurately too. Leicester concede all possession, don't pass very often and when they do it's more often than not to the opposition.

    Wenger would do well to compromise on his philosophy of total football.

    If you pass it 10 yards sideways you rarely lose the ball, if you try more ambitious passes to hurt your opponents then there's always the risk they won't come off. What Leicester show that if you try the more ambitious pass to get your strikers in behind your opponents then the low percentage that get through more than make up for the ones that don't.

    I read somewhere earlier this week that of Leicester's 21 wins this season, 19 of them they had inferior possession. That really is some going.

    They are in the bottom 3 for possession and completed passes across the season I think I read. Definitely the first one.

    They are so good at the moment. The team, the style of play, the balance. It all just works.

    Great scenes before the game with Andrea Bocelli singing.

    What must it be like to actually enjoy supporting a football team!

    Brilliant brilliant day for the club and all involved.

    Please please please don't sack Ranieri if they are 8th next Christmas having lost 1-0 to Sheff W.

    Don't let Vardy have too much sauce over the close period.

    so after today they'll definitely win the league by at least 7 points, probably by 10+ and potentially by 13 points which would be the 2nd biggest margin in the Premier League era

    Crazy that they could win it by such a big margin.

    Only one thing Ranieri needs to do now. And that is to pronounce the word "sheet" as in "clean sheet" correctly. It's a good job that the post Chelsea interview was on Sky and not on BBC.

    10 points clear of 2nd. 15 points clear of City in 4th

    Oh, and 31 points clear of Chelsea!!!

    Decent away goal for them tonight. Could they beat Sevilla at home and make it to CL quarter final?

    Could be a vital away goal.

    A 1-0 smash and grab is well within the realms of possibility - good luck to them.

    Good result for them. Does make you think its Leicester going away in Europe to Porto, Sevilla etc. I would give my left arm to see us in Europe.
