I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that if Leicester win the Champions League (unlikely but so was them winning the Premier League), they would qualify for next season's CL at the expense of whichever team comes 4th in the Premier League, regardless of whether Man Utd win the Europa League. I find it all very confusing.
In 2005 when Liverpool won the CL and finished 5th in the Premiership, Everton came 4th and qualified at Liverpool's expense. Liverpool teddies and dummies were spat out of cots all around Merseyside (and the home counties, Devon, Cornwall and Norway) until UEFA capitulated and allowed them to enter the following season's CL, and IIRC it was decided that in the event of the same thing happening again, the CL winners would re-enter at the expense of the 4th placed team. How ironic would it be if, bound by those rules, LFC were not admitted to next season's CL after finishing 4th this season, because Leicester won it this season........Come on you Foxes......(not that I'm bitter or anything).....

Was very upsetting for Spuds fans when Chelsea won in 2012 and they were in 4th spot in the PL.
My brother (Spuds fan) has quite literally not spoken to me since that night. Utterly ridiculous but hey-ho.

Will be watching and rooting for Leicester* tonight - tough match away to Athletico but you never know.
*Mrs SD & I 'support' all English teams in the CL (once Chelsea are out or not playing at all as in this season) apart from Spuds, Gooners, the two Manc's outfits and The History Club.

That's a seriously impressive/worrying length of time to hold a grudge!
Really? My Grudge against Spurtz goes back to the 70's when they were the cause of us being relegated.

I think the only real grudge I've ever held was against Pat Nevin, one of my all time favourite players. I'd saved over summer to get the latest Killie top and naturally got Nevin 7 on the back. A day or two after picking up my purchase he signed for Motherwell and it took me the best part of 15 years to get over his betrayal, which I only overcame when I realised that he's one of the only pundits worth listening to.
How bloody dare you! You have only gone and picked my greatest footballing hero. Chelsea legend.
We had the same with Gordon Judas Durie. Wanted to go back to Scotland. He signed for the Spurtz. Tosser.

My dad's never forgiven Spurs for signing Martin Peters. That was in 1970...

Nothing to do with losing 17 other games, then!
We've talked about this (and I still won
). I was at that game as a 15-year-old, Tottenham won 2-0, including an ugly battle between the fans on the pitch and Ray Wilkins was Chelsea captain at the age of 18.
