    How much did Leicester spend to win the league again?
    Leicester are the counter point to any argument you can ever make about anything football and finance related. That doesn't hide the fact that Leicester were "doped" whilst in the championship. It was a fluke, it will never happen in our life times again.  Like Nottingham Forest winning back to back European cups.

    I don't believe in luck as many others do. Everything has a chance of happening, it's how you tilt odds in your favour through preparation, hard work and belief. Much like Bowyer has done this season.  

    Winning the Premier League in a season that Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool, Spurs etc all underestimated them. Their manager got his tactics spot on and the players played out of their skins. They gave it everything. 

    Winning One European Cup could be 'Luck' as you put it, for me it's players excelling beyond their capabilities and being underestimated. 
    Winning Two confirms it's more likely my belief than your 'Luck'.


  • Is it happening yet?

  • I'm still sticking with the Austrians.
  • stick with em chief its only two weeks to wait

    I didn't say it was luck, I said it was a fluke, the perfect storm and you need all the cards to come up trumps.  If it wasn't a fluke it would happen all the time, it doesn't.

    So you want to pin Charlton’s hopes on being the next 1500-1 shot? Does not sound like a sound strategy. Also, they wildly broke FFP rules to get promoted as well.

    • An unlikely chance occurrence, especially a surprising piece of luck.

    • Achieve (something) by luck rather than skill.

    Sounds awfully similar old chap.

    That season every player gave everything the manager studied every opponent and set up well against all opponents. 

    It was sensational to see how they set up different each game and every player was willing to put their bodies on the line.

    There was no luck. No fluke. The big guns underestimated them and they knew it.

    You get away with that for one season, but you expose everything you have to do so, they didn't have the money to change out the weaker players or replace the ones that were sold and as such had little opportunity to replicate it the following season and ever since.
  • now I know what is like to be in eye of the storm ^
  • This all sounds very encouraging for a club  with an out of contract manager and 7 players.

  • It's not Tan.
    What have you heard then airman ??

  • No idea where the Tan thing has come from bar someone having some mischief on Twitter. 
  • Can't add anything more at the moment in fairness to others and it may not amount to anything anyway, so don't get too excited. But I do know that Vincent Tan isn't involved.
    And so it begins ....

    The story  of 1652 pages starts with a duct taped shoe and ends with the shoe fitting Cinderella by Lord Bowyer and we all live happily ever after in our full valley wonderland.

    What, you don't believe in fairy stories ?
  • Airman. Are you aware of any significance with the middle Eastern fella who was sitting on Curbishleys left at Wembley?
