Title: Congratulations Leicester

Says it all.

Wonderful to see one of the so called 'lesser clubs' win the Premier League.
Good on them.

Cheers - Phil

Verry happy to see the Chelsea/Spurs draw tonight and Leicester win the league!  It's quite the fairy story and gives a little hope to everyone that it's possible. 

Now we just need Boro to win/draw next weekend and we're back in the big league as well!

Yep, well done to Leicester. Great to see a 'lesser' team win the title. Now we just have the prospect of Gary Lineker presenting MotD in his underwear :-&

I think the whole of the UK are thinking the same thing, Ian.  ;D ;D ;D

You can have a punt on Burnley winning the Premiership next season......They're 5000-1 at the moment.
Lightening surely can't strike twice......Can it ?

I don't think we'll ever see this sort of thing happen again.

Well done to the North East, too

Grats from an Empoli Fc supporter, sometimes dreams come true (at least in England)!

Amazing achievement. So pleased for them and slightly jealous (because I support a "wee" team) but don't begrudge them one iota. And what a torrid match between Spurs and Chelsea! Ideally it would have been great if Leicester had won it on their home ground but I'm sure no-one in Leicester is complaining - I wouldn't!   <:-P

"Hi, my name is Peter and I'm a Spurs supporter"

Well done Leicester...I suppose Eden Hazard will be given the freedom of Leicester City for scoring the equalising goal against Spurs   :o

Spurs have stepped up a gear this season to finish second (if the Gooners don't spoil the party) and can, hopefully, go one better next season. I think they've really turned a corner this year by beating "top four" sides who used to routinely thrash them, though they still need more consistancy in more "routine" games - drawing 1 - 1 with WBA !?!  >:(

COYS!!!

I listened to the match on the radio and was amazed that there weren't more cards given out. Then watched it on MoTD and was reminded of some of the games from the seventies where that kind of tackling was allowed and most players were grateful to finish the 90 with both legs still attached...especially if they played against Leeds!  I'm glad Leicester got the title and now hope that the Hammers can beat both Swansea and Man U to finish fifth or if Man City slip up again they could even get fourth and make it a great season.

COYI!

It was great see a 'lesser' team do what other teams full of over-paid glory boys couldn't :D

However, the best outcome this year was this:
