Out doing pictures most of the night, just checked the news!  Congratulations to them, and to Peter!

Indeed! It's been an incredible season for The Foxes, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I think we're all Leicester fans at the moment, barring perhaps Spurs fans, although once their disappointment fades, I'm sure they'll also come to appreciate just what this Leicester team have done against all the odds. Spurs look like they may be the team to beat next year, and had they managed to do it this year, they'd be forever remembered as the team that crushed Leicester's fairy tale - perhaps better to win it next year.

And what a magnificent achievement for Leicester City! I hope Peter and all long-time Foxes fans enjoy the party and savour every moment - have fun!

But spare a thought for Dundee United fans, whose side lost to their neighbours Dundee F.C. this evening, sending them down to the Scottish Championship division. Haste ye back, Roger!

I apologise, in advance.

To be honest, Tarks, my delight for Leicester easily trumped my despair at United's relegation last night----the latter has been inevitable for weeks.
The whole Leicester story is wonderful, one of THE great sporting achievements of recent times. I also think it will change the attitude in boardrooms throughout the country. The billions thrown at the "big" clubs will now be questioned by their chairmen/owners while the "small" clubs will, hopefully, lose their inferiority complex and realise what is actually possible. As a football supporter, it's been an absolute joy to see the monopoly of the elite handful well and truly shattered.
Burnley for the Premiership next year?

Seeing how Leicester people supported the team and the fact that the team is not a bunch of expensive 'players', it is all credit to them and their manager that they were able to outplay more expensive teams.  Teamwork counts for soemthing at last.  p.s. I cannot stand all the hype about football and don't watch it or support a team ... however, Leicester City may be the one to watch for me now.
