Foxes Never Quit

I did say if Norwich go down, I would stop with the football in my blogs, it will be my choice, I did it because when Paul Lambert was manager, it was so darned exciting, but then we kept going up, went down, went back up, and are now going back down again. Probably.

But the biggest story this season has been Leicester City. Pretty much top all through the season, with just about everyone saying "it won't last". But it has.

Quite how a club struggling against relegation last year came to not just compete at the top by win the whole thing at a canter is a modern day miracle. Doubly so when this is supposed to be the age when money is king, the clubs are not clubs, but superclubs, competing and winning is half the story when it is all about money.

Jamie Vardy has scored something like 22 goals, Marez a few less, and the whole team has been brilliant. In addition they have had few injuries and suspensions, and no European "adventure" to distract them. No, they just kept winning, scoring goals and not conceding them at the other end. A team of has beens, never wases and prospects moulded into a team that won the whole thing, with two games to spare.

The pundits can't explain it. I can't explain it, they just won it, by being the best. After a year when there only just survived relegation. Chelsea imploding helped. As did Man Uts with LVG being rubbish also helped. And the traditional Arsenal collapse in March happened too. The only team that kept up with them were Spurs, and their playing on Monday nights thanks to the TV really meant they were always playing catch up.

Was it the biggest shock in sport? No, of course not. Gobshites like Savage will tell you it is, but he thinks football began in 1992 with the Premier League. Nottingham Forest won the league, then the European Cup. Twice. After being promoted. Now that is an incredible story.

But for now, Leicester are champions, and there are about 85 clubs' supporters wishing that was our team.
