I think you know the answer ... but you probably need to factor in Huddersfield, Royal Engineers and Wanderers ... and ... more importantly ... Sunderland...

Eventually you'll still come back to the fact that the greatest underdog story ever, in the history of British football, is Leicester City winning the Premier League by 10 clear points in 2015 / 16, with a squad costing a fraction of the 'Big 6' in the age where money, more than in any other era, dictates success ... certainly more impressive than scousers waxing lyrical about once scraping a draw against Milan and getting a trophy in a penalty shoot out

... but thanks for playing

 

Are there any other runners? ... do you think he has an unassailable lead?

Either way, a nice homage to the late lamented HIAG,; genuinely one of the most unique and individual posters this forum has ever seen ...

 

so Newcastle yeah
You manipulate your narrative to suit your argument
Newcastle have won more it would seem

There was a league before the prem - that stuff has been debunked by better men than I

Your PL win was tainted by the fact your club cheated to win it but yet you still revel in it

Good luck in the Championship and maybe we will see you again next year
Possibly in the FA Cup this year

ps anyone who won a trophy with djimi in the team let alone a CL is the greatest underdog story lmao

 

I still rememeber before the invention of the Premier League, when Carlisle United were top of the First Division, after beating Chelsea, Spurs and Middlesborough in their first three games. Another notable fact of that season is Man Utd were in the Second Division, having been relegated the season before, although they obviously came straight back up.

 

Who doesn't?

 

Very true

 

Indeed ... because however we 'cheated' against the billionaire clubs... we still did it without the vast financial backing behind every other PL title ... or European Cup / 'Champions' (biggest misnomer ever) League success ... levels eh?

 

When you celebrated your centenary, the biggest thing to ever happen to your club was you had a striker that one day would get a job with the BBC

 

TBF when i was a boy Leicester and Coventry were almost relevant first division teams.

 

You're still a boy ...

When I was a boy, Manchester United and Liverpool were the clubs that plastic twats with no real connection to either would claim as their clubs because it was the only realistic chance of being a 'winner' in any way shape or form in otherwise pathetic and meaningless lives... do hope you are not one of them ...

Supporters of both Leicester City and Coventry City and similar clubs tend to be genuine fans, born and bred, who will support their home town clubs through every up and down ... disaster and triumph (however rare and relative for the latter) ...for life ... and in doing so be far more deserving of respect than plastics ...

Thanks for contributing

 

Alan Shearer? ... never played for us mate ... but thanks for contributing

 

Old enough to remember, United, Citeh and Spurs being in the second tier ... but not quite old enough to remember Bill Shankly dragging Liverpool's then second team into the top flight
