    utter nonsense Wishi. Are you a secret Uniturd troll? I expect teenage bandwagon-jumpers that follow the plazzy clubs like Chavbus, City and Uniturd to come up with 'Football was invented in 1992' argument, but not someone of your age, Wishi. As said, does this mean we've never won the FA Cup as it's changed its sponsor and semi-final format, and have we only won Big Ears once?

    In fact, do any trophies won before last year's change in the offside rule rule (or interpretation anyway) count?

    Preposterous argument, and YOU know it.

    And who did we have in our side when that happened? Suarez, worth 3 x as much as the entire Leicester team put together. That's why I'm pig sick!

    Still the top league in England where the team with the most points wins it #samething

    Can't really use money as a excuse. It's like blaming the fixture list despite it being the same for everyone!

    Of course not, and I know when football was invented, but I am sick and tired of all the old excuses as to why we've failed to win the title these 27 years. I also know that throwing money at the problem hasn't worked, either. I know we've won the CL, UEFA, FA and League cups but those achievements have been spread out, and come on, we all know what it is we aspire to winning really.

    My point is the Premier League has been set up to attract big 'class' money players and when you get them - even if some of them look twice at us - what do we get? Lazy arsed egos who can't be bothered. You get about 1 in 4 who actually turn out to be something. Why do they cost so much? Because clubs, mainly overseas, see us bloody coming. I saw on Twitter the other day we're after someone in the summer and how much do the club want? £58 million!

    I can use it as an excuse when we keep spending it on flops.

    So am I, but changing the name of it doesn't help nor hinder that disappointment. And it's 26 years since 1990.

    April/May 2017 when it won't yet be won = 27 years. The next milestone, so yes, I'm sorry, it's 27 years.

    I've never been impressed with the Premier League; it was a sell out of the game.

    Will I complain if we win it? No, but the money these players earn rankles with me, especially when most of them are too half-arsed to have a clue of one end of a football from another. Shankley would love Balotelli if he were here now!

    You're missing the point: we've ALL been brainwashed into thinking we've had to spend big to compete, just because some stupid Russian waltzed in one day and splashed his wad all over Chelsea. OK, it worked for them and for City the odd season here and there, but look at them this season and frankly for the last few seasons City have been Danny Dyer even if they did win it last season

    The massive hike in TV cash in recent years has levelled the playing field somewhat.

    The biggest clubs can still spend the most, but the supposed 'lesser' clubs can now afford players of a quality that would have been impossible a decade ago.

    Throwing the most cash at it, should still equate to being at the top table, but now there's no guarantee, as the overall league quality has improved significantly.

    What Leicester have done is remind the entire industry that anything is possible if you work hard enough and have a proper team, as opposed to a collection of half arsed mercenaries

    Money buys success. Fair do's; it also buys egos. All we've seen are egos since 1990 and Chelsea's embarrassment this season has been down to their egos: Mourinho, Terry, Costa et al. City egos; Uniturd egos. Sorry to say it but LFC: egos.

    TV cash Sky BT Sport hasn't helped the situation, either.
