For me one of the beautiful things about football is that there are so many different ways a team can approach the game. None of them are inherently bad unless you resort to diving, cheating... things against the rules.
And apart from Huth (who we could have used a few players like this year instead of fake hard men like Otter), Leicester weren't a dirty team, they just played incredible counter attacking football. They executed the type of counter attacks that we expected from our team. So hats off to them
I never used the word "anti-football".
You may like the way Leicester play, that's up to you. I don't. I am not saying it is not successsful (because they have just won the league) or that they should not do it. Just that I have seen it before and I don't like watching it.
By the way, Leicester's top scorer is currently suspended for diving and aggressive behaviour towards the referee.

Well done, clap clap, now fuck off back to mid table/relegation when you have to totally change mentality next season. Teams will set up differently against them, expectations will be high, Champions League will suck them dry or desire to fight for every ball.

You missed my whole point of you claim that I like how they play (which I've never said). Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's bad, and I have massive, massive respect for what they've accomplished.

I've been living and working in Leicester for 14 years and obviously have a lot of good friends who are Leicester City fans, they are celebrating like we did the first time we won the premier league, a mixture of disbelief and euphoria. They were all pleased when we won it and I'll be going in to work tomorrow with a smile on my face and enjoying the atmosphere. I can tell you not one of them gives a solitary fuck about the style of play, they never thought this day would come, they wouldn't be celebrating now if they tried to play attractive football all season.

What a miserable bastard you are. You sound like a scouse/rag/arse fan if City had won the league 10 years ago.

Leicester may well have put in the effort and fought for each other. But it's the manager that gave them licence too. You won't see vardy back at a corner, he likes to leave him where he can hurt teams. It seems common sense and something pellers does not possess. Sergio, sterling and navas brought back for every corner even when we need a goal. Woeful.

There is no lemon in my mouth. There is no room, what with all the words you are putting in there that I haven't actually said.

what's this, you want me to give United credit and call them a good team that shouldve been battling it out for the title?
if i had included United in the list i'd be called a rag. i leave them out and im an idiot. i see.
Liverpool are shit. they had zero chance of winning the title. i left Spurs off because they shouldn't be embarrassed. they are finishing 2nd and above Arsenal for the first time in a long time--thats a good season.

A lot more teams than that - Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland, Villa, Stoke. All bigger clubs with a bigger budget.
And the obvious one you missed where there was a great stat last night - the rags have spent more in the last two seasons than Leicester has in their entire 132 year history.
all true. and in the grand scheme of things youre absolutely right.
but as i was specifically talking about the clubs who, before the season, were thought of as the select few with a legitimate chance to be battling it out for the title. thus, none of those made the brief list i mentioned.

Yes they should be challenging for the title you moron.
Just because the rag propaganda machine suggested that finishing third this year would be considered a good season doesn't mean that's true.

I wonder which will be better odds for them - defending the title, or getting relegated?
