Well that's quite a lot of waffle. Les Reed came out last year saying that we have no intention to sell players, we're not looking to sell, we don't need to sell. So we sent out exactly the same message last year. Although players talk, money talks, agents talk. We didn't have the intention, but if the players decide their future isn't here then you are pushed into a bit of a corner. Let's see how Leicester react when their players start asking to leave, although with CL football and a winners medal, they may not be in as such a rush to leave. Everyone on here has ambition, we all want to win and we all want to see success for our club. I didn't hear any Leicester fans slamming Raneiri for targeting safety in December, that's not exactly showing ambition is it? We are in no different a position to Leicester, people cannot start coming out now and saying ''Oh i wish we were like Leicester, i wish we showed ambition, i wish'' - they've shown no more or no less ambition than ourselves. If anything, Leicesters success vindicates our approach in scouting, transfers and management.

Momentum is so important in any sport, but Leicester have achieved what they did through momentum, self belief and confidence. If you foster a good team spirit and get a real momentum behind you, you can be tough to stop - no matter how much money other teams have spent. The league is more of an even playing field these days, there are quite simply no easy games. It's not all about how much money you spend and who has the biggest net spend - it means nothing. I'm comfortable with the way we do things. Just imagine this place last summer if we'd signed a free transfer left back and a Stoke city squad CB. There would have been uproar. But this achievement shows that football is still about more than just money and finances, which is very refreshing at a time when there were talk of the rest 'pulling away' for ever. A team spirit and a self belief can still get you far. And also another point, I've seen it mentioned here and elsewhere that what Leicester did is what can happen when you 'Don't sell your best players' - but who the hell wanted Vardy, Marhez, Huth, Morgan on the back of last season? Maybe a few NPC clubs? This summer will be the test to see who they can keep hold of, and I really hope they can - I'd hate to see them ripped apart by the big boys.

Are you serious Clark? jammy get!

I'm going to put a bet on Burnley to win it next year.

He would have needed 10 to be banned. -
Weird post. Surely the last two windows have given us more than enough reason to trust them? We're probably the best run club in the league. If you want to moan about 'boards' then take a look on Villa's, Newcastles forums.

As he already had a yellow, that's that. No more can be done. -
I think the 2nd yellow was on his mind and MP's too - but yeah, they looked gone in the head. They've always been quite a fragile team mentally, historically. They will be low as hell next weekend, no doubts about it.

Can I just put this out there? ''Peter Schmeicel has won the league, had a son, and that son has won the league in the time since Liverpool last won the league'' -
Cannot applaud them enough. This has been the most weird season in English football, ever. You can't help but have a laugh at the likes of Utd who spent £200m+ in the summer and they are no where near. Leicester has given everyone hope, this is easily the most competitive league around at the moment.
-
I don't think Lamella will be banned tbh, Dembele will be the only one who is given a ban for the season. I reckon Rose went off to protect him from getting a 2nd yellow......I don't think he was injured.

Also worth noting that we're pretty secure in the top 8 now, Chelsea have to win their 3, we have to lose 3 and they have to overtake our GD too. -
Yeah, i'm stunned there weren't any red's tbh. It was on boiling point for 90mins. I thought the ref had a good game until he conveniently ignored the Dier hack.
-
No idea why the Dier tackle was ignored, should have gone straight back to that after the Mason yellow. But Spurs looked shot at the end, absolutely gone. Their heads were all over the place. Absolutely remarkable that Leicester have won the league, I never thought we'd ever get a situation like this in football with all the money in it.

I think I've found a picture of Charlie's bedroom -
Or we could just continue to play him as a CB and buy an attacking midfielder.
-
Don't give him airtime, hopefully he'll be banned soon.
-
Romeu should start every week for me.
-
Has your source been on the sauce?
-
Long was bought for more than just goals.
-
We were all over the city defenders with movement and pace - those 2 in particular (Mangala/Otamendi) hate players running at them. Otamendi is a technically gifted player, but I just cannot see a PL defender in him. Players like Long are part and parcel of the league with their endevour, work rate etc, and he just cannot handle those sorts of players. As soon as i saw those two starting I thought we just have to run at them...commit them, and that's exactly what we did from the first second. My MOTM today was Tadic, who was sublime. They couldn't pick him up, and he was finding space in front of their back 4 all first half in particular - and he was always dangerous on the ball, they were frightened of him. I don't think City fancied it really, they have bigger fish to fry, but at least we made the most of it!
-
Hard to see Leicester getting anything today unfortunately, they look well off the pace. Looks like the pressure is getting to them a little going by their keystone cops clearances a minute ago.
-
Why are people giving this idiot the airtime? The most obvious windup/troll since the internet began, just ignore it.
-
I reckon Sunderland and Newcastle will both win and with Norwich at Arsenal later on, they will be quite simply screwed.
