Next season every fan will put a tenner on their team and the bookies will not offer such silly odds.
They're not silly odds, the bookies were laughing all the way to the bank when Leicester clinched it. They lost chicken feed to the small number of people who bet on the correct result and are quids in after trousering the umpteen million wagered on Man U, City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal etc etc.
 
And Suzanne Charlton had a famous father and uncle.

Suzanne who? I hear you ask. :smile:

I see all the plastic Leicester fans are crawling out of the woodwork now. As someone who's supported the Foresters all my life that really gets on my goat. I remember standing at the Clock End in the sixties and marvelling at the skills of Stan Finny and Matthew Best as they tore down the wings, never daring to dream of the day we'd win the league. I grew up half a mile from the ground and it's great to see a south coast team win it again.

So Atletico knocked out both Barcelona and Bayern. Either Manchester or Real are going to really up their game to beat them in the final.

Bayern players in tears. In their own stadium. In the Champions League.
Sounds familiar? :whistle:

One of the best nights of my life. Lovely Wife (CFC supporter for almost 40 years) went mental - running around on the patio screaming like a loon (she had gone outside as she couldn't bear to watch Didier take THE penalty!). Great night!

My Spuds supporting brother was totally *issed as we 'dumped' them out of the CL at the same time - ooops; that sounds a bit familiar too! CFC = Spuds Nemesis! Haha.

I can't say we got much credit from the media for that win - was thinking about this last night watching the match. Athletico play a deep lying defence and spring fast counters and it is wonderful according to the pundits and commentators. Chelsea did this with Barcelona and Bayern during that magic CL campaign and we were 'anti-football'.

I should be used to these double standards by now tbh! :laugh:

You got it from me, because that was the sort of sporting contest I love. A highly skilled team or player beaten by a dogged opponent who were clever enough to outwit them and take the spoils. There is more than one way to play football, despite what the purists (ie pretentious snobs) would have us believe.

If it's not tippy tappy triangles fired around at a ludicrous pace it's just not worth watching.
