I would laugh my arse off if Leicester finished above Spurs. Don't think that would happen but it would be hilarious.

What about if we finish above you again, Bodi?

Would you find that equally funny?

You have to ask yourself the question: what's more likely to happen, LCFC finish above Spurs or Spurs finish above Chelsea?

You see my point, mate.

Sometimes it's best not to scoff until the coast is clear. Please, for the love of god, don't fall into the trap of a certain wum-mod whose scoffing has rendered him a laughingstock on more than several occasions!

This thread was very accurate, and is very accurate. The spiral is happening in front of our eyes.

Could turn out to be the thread of the year

<laugh> ... yes the OP was spot on ... the first element was that Chelsea were interested in Mahrez with the intimation that his going would herald the complete dismantling of our team - in marked contrast we have lost one very good player to one of the European heavy weights .... selling a player that cost us £6.5m for £30m .... disappointing yes ... but the rest have stayed to a man and have signed long term contracts ....

The second element, which impressively predicted that we might finish in the top four (given that we were top of the pile in January <doh>), but less impressively had no mention of a possibility of actually winning the title (I wonder why <laugh>) was laughably short of the ultimate, awesome, achievement - the unthinkable for certain teams ... winning the EPL title of course.

... the chances of this being thread of the year are way south of the likelihood of the Opening Poster yet again having a 'special' thread dedicated to his complete and utter humiliation at his predictions coming back to make him look like a complete fanny fart <again> ... his only consolation will be that there is no bet riding on any of it to further embarrass him ...

He did get one thing right ... that we are indeed unlikely to reach the same heights as last season ... retaining the EPL title is, after all, notoriously difficult .... but you have to win it first of course to be in the position to fail at that ...<laugh>

In the spirit of prediction I am happy to make one ... here it is ... this season's EPL title winners will already have won the EPL title before <ok> <laugh>

The "spiral" refers both to the rise, this season, and to next season's inevitable fall.

It is my very firm opinion that a top 4 finish this season will come at the cost of complete and utter humiliation next season, in both the CL and the Prem.

In the CL, for example, even Leicester's fans cannot think that they, with their Wimbledon-esque brand of park-the-bus-then-hoof-it-up-the-park-for-Vardy football, is going to be anything other than the poorest grade of cannon-fodder for proper football teams?

Leicester would be better off starting out in the Europa League, and doing that for a few seasons, to prove that they have the credentials and consistency to mount an annual European campaign. It is not easy, as West Ham found out this season - and they were humiliated in the Europa ff!

The old saying is, that the faster they rise, the quicker they fall. Another is, the higher the climb, the harder the fall.

It's going to happen to Leicester City. We all know that, let's not pretend we don't. And sure - you can pay them all the patronizing plaudits you like, but that does not take anything away from my argument. They've capitalized in a season when so many teams have had their worst ever seasons! Well done to them, for that! But let's not pretend that this is anything other than a freak-season, particularly for Leicester City.

So that I am not grotesquely misquoted, I thought it best to set out the post in which I set out my stall for this thread.
<ok>

Let the voting for "Best Thread of the Season" commence, lads.

No. I don't want any thanks, just votes. Cheers.
