Thought this might have been a Tottenham fan before I clicked on this article. Of course the media are all over it, it's one of the most shocking things ever to have happened in the history of football.

Your Honour.....How old are you
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why?
What do you expect squid?
The media are driven by a narrative, and this season is a dream narrative for a football writer, a team like LCFC upsetting the apple-cart, showing that all the money in the world sometimes isn't enough in a team sport.
If you were a football writer you'd be loving it cause it gives you so many tangents to write about.
It's a great story and it's going to be written about, you see it so much because there is so much exposure to football writing today.

Only nippers post silly symbols with no words
I'm not to bothered about it to be honest and I feel the hype is justified. Never has this sort of thing happened before and probably never will again. Blackburn winning it in 94 was totally different as Jack walker went on a spending spree beforehand. Leicesters title charge in one in a million so it deserves the praise.

Of course you are right but that des not mean I cannot complain about their coverage
pretty much what don said...its an amazing story that needs to be heard.

What about Forrest IMO they achieved far more than LCfc when they were promoted won the title and the Europeon Cup in three seasons
Squid, totally different era mate and not the same. I'm not saying the forest achievement wasn't good because it was amazing ( before my time though) but for Leicester to do what they are doing with the money and power that is in football these days in particular the lottery winning teams like city and Chelsea. For Leicester of all teams to come in and spoil the party is remarkable and a better achievement than forest for me

That's fair enough
If Leicester weren't where they are this year and you were top it would be the same, maybe not so much fairytale etc. but you'd be getting similar plaudits.

I completely agree with this, my own take on it is lots of papers / websites won't make the comparison out of fear of referencing something their target demographic don't know about.
To a large % of this demographic Forrest are a championship club and they won't know who Clough is.
D was just as hard on
I lived through the Forrest era and what they did was amazing.......They did because Clough was their boss , Im sorry but winning the title then was just as hard as it is today and then to win the Europeon Cup was mindblowing
I think Forrest winning the title after getting promoted is probably not quite as big as if we won the league simply because the league is far harder to win and much more of a closed shop now.
However when you take in to account the fact they went on to win back to back European titles is bigger than if we do win the league

I feel for you Squid, if I'm forced to watch SSN for more than 10 minutes I generally want to throw something at the tv. Although it's great if you're a Leicester supporter who enjoys Cricket and Formula 1.
Well you lived in that era squid so you know more than me but I personally think Leicesters potential achievement is slightly better than Forests as I feel it's near enough impossible for a club like Leicester to complete with the money bags of this world ie city and Chelsea.... Until now which is just even more reason why it's so stunning. Forest achievement was unreal
But the money was no where near the level in the 80s as it is now and you didn't have a large host of money bag dominant teams like we do now
"Believe it or not I do wish you well and I congratulate you on your season , just sick of hearing about it every 5 minutes"
Of course you are, they've just completely peed all over your parade. You won't get another chance for 30 years.
Forgetting the forest CL win by the way.... I'm talking about the league wins of both squid. Obviously forest winning the CL is unreal but I am comparing both title wins. ( Leicester are almost certainly going to win this league)

Chesham.............Best post on the thread
Pawl.....I have to turn SSN off every 29 mins in case my brain explodes
Bubsy, sounds more like you guys.... Since fergie has left you haven't even come close to winning it so it's probably 30 years before you smell the title again you have been that poor. Spurs will be here next season and just as good so get used to it
I'd forgotten all about Leicester until coming across this fine advertisement for bitterness.
