It's the same sort of mentality which compares lightweight mediocrity Sharapova to greatness Serena, Garcia to Tiger Woods, Tyson Fury to Tyson, Joe Root to Brian Lara, average voiced Adele to vocal goddess Aretha Franklin. Just plain wrong and 100% offensive. Hmmmmmmmmm.

I like Adele's voice more, less shouting and more singing from her imo.

But back on topic Owen would've been a Pele for England if he hadn't have suffered constant injuries.

No offence but your obviously a pop fan rather than a soul, rnb , music of black origins fans.

Everybody likes Pop Music, they're lying if they're saying otherwise as there's so many different styles of Pop Music around it's hard to dislike them all.

But no I'm more of a Rock/Indie/Folk person tbh, I also don't mind Reggae and proper R&B and not just the ones being tagged as R&B because they're black.

Apart from Rock though I do tend to like more gentle singing voices more than the constantly loud ones as my problem with the loud singers is that it stops becoming a song and more of just showing off how loud you can sing.

Explaining Leicester's rise to Americans

[LeatherTrumpet]

so they loose their top striker

and then record their biggest win of the season

wow

[alex_front2]

Jamie Vardy tends to score 1 goal a game but is fairly onsistent (very good mins to goal ratio) and creates assists. I don't think he has scored a hattrick all season.

Also LCFC needed to put a message out to Spurs and Arsenal (who were still in the EPL race before the Sunderland draw) that they are not a one man team.

Ulloa (whom I'm no fan of) needed to put a message out that he's not a sub par championship level journeyman. And fair play he's been better in later stages of this season (last grasp Norwich goal, last gasp penalty against West Ham etc)

Congratulations Leicester (and local star Mark Selby in snooker), well deserved.

"In the history of betting, certainly since it was legalised in 1961, a [single event] winner with odds of 5,000-1 has never happened," says Simon Clare from the betting firm Coral. "Every bookmaker is crying out in pain.

Odds in August 2015 more likely than Leicester winning eg Pm Cameron becoming AV new manager

I did see the ante post price 5000-1 odds for Leicester (as well as Bournemouth) and thinking that was OTT just too big a price for a team who ended the season strongly , and with an experienced new manager who had come #2 in EPL, the price underestimating Leicester (obviously i never thought they win title but never had them down as relegation fodder either, thought they'd be mid table as they ended the season well and i knew about Kante and how good he was).

Imagine Poch #2 with Spurs ,gets sacked by Levy and manages Coventry in EPL in 12 years time and wins title. 5000-1 would be the odds. This price is just an insult to Ranieri.
