It's not a freak win by Leicester. They actually deserved the title. Didn't bottle it, rode their luck but only lost 3 times (albeit 2x against AFC). JUST because Leicester don't splash out on big names or have players with "sexy" names it doesn't mean they aren't worthy winners. The premier league is not the Arsenal/ Man U/ Man City/ Chelsea premier league. It's not inevitable that a big club should win title. History means nothing, having loads of fans means nothing, winning things in past means nothing, spending loadsamoney means nowt. It's about what you do now. Newcastle have more fans than Leicester. Man U have more fans than Spurs. There is no reason why Burnley or Bournemouth can't win title .

Guardiola won't do as well in EPL in his first season as he needs to 'gut out' an ageing team of 30+ players, replace with you players especially English.

That's hardly a shock, big club, not exactly the "next Leicester" shocker, might as well say team to watch next season is Man City
I think next season the new Spurs will be West Ham, Bournemouth, Soton and maybe Stoke. Last edited by alex_front2; 15-05-2016 at 07:36 PM. |

For me there is no such thing as a big shock in EPL, even Leicester winning was always feasible as there are no stand out teams. The so called big teams Arsenal, Man U, City, Chelsea are not that great or dominant compared to PSG 1970, Barcelona, and Juve. The EPL is very competitive, and in these post Fergie times the so called dominant side Man U are bang average, just another side, albeit one with loadsamoney. Anyone can beat anyone (Bournemouth beat Chelsea and Man U back to back). This would never happen in La Liga where bottom of the table sides e.g. my team Rayo Vallecano (relegated sob sob sob) have no chance of beating the big boys let alone the title. Leicester beat Man U 5-3 last season, having been losing 2-0 then 3-1. The signs were there, noone paid attention. Last edited by alex_front2; 17-05-2016 at 12:50 PM. |
