    Yes but that was a different era, an era when it was common for either 'smaller' teams to finish highly or for teams to dramatically rise through the league(s). As wenger might say, a time before financial doping. In the prem there's only ever been 5 winners in a quarter century, while the previous 25 years there were 10 winners.

    Leicester's season is already epically impressive, if they win then it'll be the stuff of willy wonka style dreams

    Spot on. They are out performing teams with far greater resources and experience. The differences in the past, no matter how impressive it was by Nottingham Forest, is vast. Leicester really only have two very good players, but far from world class. Whereas Arsenal, Chelsea, Manure and City all have world class foreign talent and the very best English talent. Maximum respect for Ranieri's achievements, it's one of those rare once in a lifetime events that won't come back around again for a very long time, especially if they win it.

    It would have no effect on us whatsoever, the Europa league winners gain an extra CL spot, they don't take one of the spots already assigned to the country in question, to a maximum of five teams from one country. <ok>

    What makes you think you're actually good enough to even win the Europa League? Sheesh, you have one mighty inflated opinion of your team, you can't even beat a mid table side today, and you think you're going to be beating the 3rd-4th best teams in Germany, Spain, Italy?

    Won't affect us either, since we're getting anywhere from 1st to 3rd, :). It's you lot fighting for 4th spot, your new benchmark for every season.

    The first game was in special cheating circumstances, the second game was because of one bad tackle, 11 vs 11, they cannot beat us.

    But you lot 11 vs 11, twice have failed, we failed in special circumstances, you failed well, because you just failed and bottled it, a 91st minute equaliser, bottle bottle.

    Oh and Memphis Deepay, LOL! How I got that one right when I said he's overrated when you signed him, hahaha, **** me, he makes Iwobi look like Lionel Messi.
