    Leicester are owned by a billionaire too, just for the novelty.

    38 games is more than enough time. Oh, and dont forget the likes of Athletico, Dortmund and Montpellier winning titles without a sugar daddy against billionaires.

    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    This really is a 'make a movie of it' story, if you'd written it then it would be thought ridiculous.
    It would certainly be the most incredible achievement in my time following the sport.

    O RLY?

    They haven't spent big though, not compared to the way Chelsea and City spunked money around.
    They won't have bought the title.

    What they're doing this season is just bizarre, they weren't 5000-1 at the start of the season for nothing.
    In any trend or correlation there will be counter examples. Saying what Leicester are doing shows that the billionaires haven't had a massive influence is just awful reasoning.
    It's like having a weighted coin which comes up heads 9 times out of 10, seeing a tail after a run of heads and then declaring the coin fair.

    0-0 HT at Old Trafford. A real stinker.

    Kudos to Leicester. Southampton tried to turn it into a stinker of a game with mourindyce tactics.

    It takes a plan B, a bit of patience and full concentration to overcome anti-football. Arsenal could seriously learn a lot from the champions elect.

    Just noticed the Spuds could really get dragged in to a Top 4 battle if Man Utd pub a win against them next weekend.
