Irrelevant nonsense! It's where you are at the end of the season that counts, not how many days you were briefly 'top of the heap'
It's amazing what an offside, last minute equaliser at home to Everton can do for someone's confidence.
Yep - English football ended in 1990 but European football is still relevant - though only if you won the Champions League on penalites on a neutral ground against a team that were not from the same country as you.
So, how many times have Leicester played in Europe, in the Prem League era? Answers on a postcard, please.
What is fascinating about that Daily Mail article is the fact that it's clearly a dig at Spurs! It is laughable journalism! Surely, Leicester have spent more time at the top of the Prem than every side, apart from the usual suspects? Why pick on Spurs, and aim the headline at us? Also, so what? Even if Leicester go on to win the title - which I would rather them do it than Arsenal or £ity, and certainly United - that still won't guarantee them going exactly the same way as Blackburn or Leeds, before them. Would Blackburn and Leeds fans trade their glory for being back in the Prem, finishing regularly in the top 5, as Spurs have done? Okay, perhaps some of the older fans might not, but I bet a fair percentage of the newer fans would. Why is it that the Daily Mail hate us so much?
Why single out the Mail? everyone hates you I guess they point to Spurs as being the 'biggest' club that Leicester have overtaken in terms of this stat. Makes it a more 'interesting' story.
But why print this "story" at all? It's a meaningless stat! Why not look at FA Cup wins, or League Cup wins, or "minutes spent playing in European Cup competitions," or Prem league finishes over the last decade, or total number of games played in the Prem - or any other stat on which Spurs will clearly prove itself to have been the more successful club? Why pick on an ephemeral stat that has absolutely no meaning or relation to anything other than the fact that it is the only stat that the embittered, pathetic hack could find that puts Spurs down?
...except for the fact Leicester were actually top of the table? And in doing so, succeeded Spurs in the number of weeks there? No, I really don't get why they reported it either I guess when Leicester spend more "minutes spent playing in European Cup competitions," or Prem league finishes over the last decade, or total number of games played in the Prem.... journalists shouldn't report that either.
