Premier League Thread 2015-16

I'm not bored at all. Slightly jealous maybe, but it will still be the best thing ever to happen in the history of the Premier League if the team with the 5th lowest wage bill wins the title.

 

I would have preferred them to have won the league (assuming they do) in style but I still don't begrudge them doing it this way over the usual big four monopoly winning it.

 

Lens looks cack.

 

That's the league done and dusted.

 

I still think Sunderland will stay up.

 

0-2 Vardy again.

 

Yeah it will be an amazing achievement when Leicester win it. Will be even more interesting if they can keep Mahrez/Kante this summer, personally I don't think they will be able to.

 

Seriously? It's a completely foregone conclusion. Has been for months. How is that not boring? At this point, I'm just wishing they'd lose one, if only to inject a bit of suspense to the proceedings.

Yep. They'll be on em like piranhas.

 

Far from convincing yet again, duno how they keep doing it, it's beginning to annoy me.

 

Leicester aren't as boring as the commentators.

 

Presumably tiresome cliches and vocal masturbation of Leicester.

 

It's not a foregone conclusion at all, they still have to win 3 more games if Tottenham or Arsenal keep winning. You just can't compare the feeling of Leicester defying all the odds to yet another season of Man Utd or City or Chelsea or even Arsenal or Blackburn effectively buying the title. That was what has always been boring about the Premier League. After this things will never be the same again, as every medium-sized club including ourselves will believe it's possible.

 

What an achievement. Fair play.

Remember when people said we couldn't finish in the top four a couple of seasons ago? There goes that theory!

 

It is possible, as Leicester are proving, but basically everything has to go your way, which is why I can't see it happening ever again (or not for a very long time anyway).

 

Do I start getting happy about my bet on leicester winning the league? ( stand to win £500+).

 

Anyone who wins the title has to have things go their way. However, teams do make their own luck. You saw this season when an entirely capable team (Saints) lost confidence and suddenly nothing was going right for us. Leicester have maintained their belief that things will go their way and it's affected the way they play so they look lucky.

You may not be able to see it happening again but I'd also suggest that nobody in the whole of the UK was able to see it happening this season either.

What's your cash out value?

Yeah, I would be jumping around the room right now....

 

Yeah, cos Man City and Chelsea will be inexplicably ****e every season now.

 

No cash out value. It's just win or lose.
