I know you are probably sarcastic but things like that do not happen every single season. Atletico Madrid, even though was better equipped than Leicester also managed to win the Liga.

Yeh Peter won with a better, well equiped team. I'm talking about whether Leicester 2015-2016 is bigger than 1992!

Since Liverpool won their last league title, He has won it 5 times and had a son who has won it with Leicester City.

Hahahaha I like that!

Now that the title has been confirmed, we can switch our attention to the bottom 3. Aston Villa have gone down. The other 2 could be any of Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle. Norwich next game will be against Man U - with both teams fighting for something. Sunderland has to play against Chelsea and Newcastle has Tottenham to play against in the final game. I think Norwich (Sorry Sir Sir_Didier_Drogba) and Newcastle will go down.

For the top 4 spots, I think Arsena will make it (i.e. Leicester, Spurs and Arsenal have top 4 confirmed). For the 4th spot, it will be a fight between the 2 Manchester teams. Man City are ahead by 4 points but played 1 more game. Man City has to play against Arsenal, so one of these 2 teams will drop points. If City lose or draw, then there will be some hope. ManU will have to play against Norwich who will fight to death and we usually suck in that kind of games. I think it will be Leicester, Spurs, Arsenal and City. If we win the FA Cup, I would like LvG to stay because I think next year could be his year, like it was in his last season at AZ after a terrible season\. We have to give him a chance. Hiring Mourinho would be the worst thing we could do at the moment.

Would have been hard to pull this off in Football Manager let alone in real life, happy for Claudio Ranieri he deserves it.

Just a couple of weeks ago you were claiming the same thing happened in Spain

I've seen lots of random teams win in Germany too. Werder, Stuttgart, Wolfsburg. Never Schalke or Leverkusen though.

Pep's City?

Pogba-Gundogan was my ideal midfield from 3 years ago. Oscar was the AMC though; he needs to find a friendly manager. I think Juventus would be good for him.

Agree, Antonio Conte might be an inflection point in his career though.

EPL been shit recently but watch out next season... Guardiola, Klopp and Conte with tons pf money.

Man City v Arsenal just got a lot more interesting

Don't forget; Giggs.

Liverpool just need to replace a few week links. I've been so impressed with guys like Coutinho, Can, Firmino.

They need huge improvements to be competitive in a 38 games Championship.

Btw, EL winner get into the CL? I'm with Liverpool in the final

I like their attacking players and versatile options but below those its average.

Liverpool is overrated under Klopp. When he took over Liverpool were 4 points behind Man U who is having a terrible season. Now they're 5 points behind.

With signings he may impress but this season he's not done anything special so far.

Yes he's done enough. He lost a final at penalties and now he's in Europa League final after he beat United Dortmund and Villarreal.

I was one mocking Klopp impact in premier league but his Europa achievements is remarkable and he may well give Liverpool cl football next year

He has done very well for the short time he has been there. Beat all the big teams with much superior players and two finals without having spent at all. I'm sceptical about his ability to identify transfer targets but we'll see this summer.

Arsenal, I think we've made a massive fuck up missing out on the available managers that moved in this period and are stuck with this nonsense. Who is likely to be available by the end of next season? Simeone ,Tuchel, Emery and Marcelinho would still be huge improvements.
