Clough's Forest tops the lot, a while back now but Leicester will have to win the CL and then retain it to match Clough's achievement.

Greatest climax probably is ours against Liverpool in 1989. We were the only contenders and we went head to head.Quote:

If/when Leicester win it, it will definitely be the greatest achievement in my time following the sport. You would have been sent to the looney bin if you said this was possible.
In terms of quality I'm not sure they can really be compared to us and the great United teams. If they do it again next season though then by all means they should be mentioned in the same breath.
What Clough did back in the day was incredible, but it was an era where clubs' performance could vary far more from season to season than now, an era where every single thing about the way football is set up is designed to keep the top clubs distinct from 'the rest'. They were dead and buried with about 10 games to go last season and then went on a run to keep them up, that was impressive enough but to continue that run for an entire following season and win the league...it just shouldn't be possible in today's game. Absolutely amazing.
Leicester :bow:
I feel they will be found out to an extent next season but they won't care.
It won't be repeated but good for them. It's definitely better than the alternative.
They could have 50 years of absolute shit now and it still wouldn't matter
Take a bow. I'll always be pissed off at our bottlers managed by WUMger but it is what it is.
I think people are making the mistake of believing it's still all about the oil clubs dominating, and no other club can come close.
The TV revenue is available to all prem clubs now, and that money gets you a lot more bang for your buck. the playing field is levelling off a bit, because despite all the oil cash, you can't buy all of the players, and you have to have a good manager, who picks the right blend of players, can organise them, and motivate them.
Leicester are rightly being lauded, but the same can be said of West Ham, and dare I say it, Sp*rs.
We're a prime example, that you can have a load of decent players, but if you can't manage them properly (organise them/motivate them/train them/get them playing as a team in their best positions etc etc etc etc etc), you ain't winning the title........and this is where all of the others have failed too. Pellegrini, Mourinho....
We laugh at Van Gaal, but we're in the same sodding boat with a couple of better players.
Yep, it's once in a generation for them. They only have 3 League Cups to show for their entire history, it's truly one of the great stories of the game, especially as it's come in an era where it was seen as impossible for a club outside the usual 6 or 7 suspects to get a look in.Quote:

Funny though. The "Big 5" desperately trying to form their breakaway Euro league so they can cement their status at the "top" of the game - while Leicester pisses down on them. If you can't beat them on the pitch then don't let them on the pitch. The spirit of sport is strong in these ones.Quote:

Hope West Brom are a bit better than shit today. Cant take anymore of this crap
Wenger Out!
Hopefully West Brom are going to try, at least.
Eriksen freekick, saved.
Nothing wrong with that challenge on Alliwankstain, but looks like he's getting GHEL privileges already.
Bad miss by Kane, thankfully.
What a miss from Kane, has it saved on to the post! :haha:
Watch how quickly the spuds get the ball into the box. Our lot could do that too but whatever weirdness we are getting up to on the training ground disqualifies it.
Pulis is such a disgusting manager, so so defensive. Only villa have scored less goals (which isn't saying much considering this is the worst villa side in history) and created fewer chances.
Pubis is playing 4 centre backs and 3 holding players again they have mo attacking ambition and their fans must be bored to death.
Come on West brom, tho.
0-0 is the best we can hope for here, and that's a long, long shot. Only one team in it. Bastards.
Rose down as usual. What a fucking wimp. He goes down more than Bif.
That's exactly what I was thinking mate, they move it about quickly and create chance after chance. I hate our football, it's so slow and predictable.Quote:

Cheers
Cmon West Brom (until they're in it)
There is no way we will finish above them but i hope Leicester get this title wrapped up soon. If they draw today then Leicester can win it at OT.Quote:

Lamella has got to be the biggest cheat in the league. Rose and Alli aren't far behind mind they go down quicker than a 5 pound prostitute
72% possession for the spuds. Pulls :doh:
Anorexic prozzies :bow:Quote:

What a pathetic turd Rose is. Goes in hard and pretends he's hurt, when he sees the ref has let it go, up he pops. Fucking horrible little shit.
WBA are in the spuds box now for some reason. Pulls will be furious.
Alli :haha:
Measures it up on the edge of the box and then toe lifts it gently to the keeper. Genius.
What a cunt Pubis is. Horrible scrote.
Allí expertly loses possession cheaply.
Why aren't we after him?Quote:
