Make no mistake, you have had a hell of a lot of luck this season, ranging from refereeing decisions

Jealousy

What happened to Sanchez and Ozil, the world beaters?

Pipe down, Leicester deserve to win it don't go blaming officials like Whinger...I mean Wenger

Personally, I have three main hopes for next season;

1) A top half finish
2) A decent cup run (a final would be nice)
3) Get out of the group stages of the Champions League

I think you'll struggle to find a single Leicester fan who expects to be challenging for the title. Most of us accept that this is probably a one-off for us. People forget that this is only our second season in the Prem - by rights we should still be in the 'stabilise our PL status' stage, but this season has bumped us along somewhat.

I find the idea that we could go down next season very odd. Even if/when the big teams bounce back, and even assuming that Everton, West Ham and Southampton manage to overtake us, the idea that we're suddenly going to fall behind Watford, Bournemouth, Swansea and the promoted trio next year is baffling and has no logical basis.

I think we will lose Kante but we already have Amartey in the squad, who is a similar build, and Inler who could be important in Europe. We've also been linked with Carvalho at Sporting Lisbon who could be a good replacement. Mahrez is rumoured to want to stay and could be set to sign a new deal. Vardy won't leave, he loves it here, and I think Schmeichel will stay too. If players like Albrighton and Fuchs suffer from a slump, we have Gray and Chilwell who can come in.

So, all in all, I think we'll be safe as houses next year and have a bright future ahead of us.

Biggest challenge would be replacing their key players once the massive offers start pouring in.

Easier said than done.

Lucky that we've had a small fixture list
Fortunate lack of injuries

Didn't read past this for obvious reasons

Yep, read the fixture excuse before, even though Liverpool didn't win the league with the same amount.

Foxello has nailed it with that post. Nothing more the add.

Top half and a decent cup run. We will lose Kante but I really like our recruitment policy at the minute and I expect us to strengthen in the summer.

If we get that right, there's no reason why the top 6 couldn't be on the cards.

Just enjoying this season thanks. Will worry about the summer transfers and next season later (it'd be nice to do OK in the Champions League and not get relegated is as far as I want to think at the moment). Strangely enough I'm concentrating fully on a game in west London tonight!

I think you'll find most Foxes fans not thinking the world has ended if we don't win anything next year.

Kante is irreplaceable.

Your squad is a year older (Morgan&Huth especially)

Mahrez will leave for Barca no doubt

Your squad is not strong enough to play on al fronts effectively

Elite players won't come

The team spirit will be diluted now they have achieved the dream.

I'm delighted Leicester are winning the title but are you guys honestly suggesting that playing less games than everyone around you (closest would be West Ham who also didn't have Europe) didn't help you at all?

Not suggesting you don't deserve the title or someone else deserves it because of their bigger fixture list but the idea that playing more fixtures wouldn't harm you is ludacris.

Thanks for your supportive words mike. Should we just kill ourselves now to avoid the misery?

Teams in Europe have squads to cover that so while we haven't played in Europe we've got a much smaller squad of Superstars to call upon costing £00's millions than anyone else.

Can't you remember a few months ago, we were going to fail for exactly this reason!

Mersey forgive my sobering approach as I'm a Leeds fan and have had lubeless times of late. I'm happy u have won the league mind

Being in Europe next year doesn't magically remedy any problems you might have from being in Europe next year.

TBH I'm struggling to figure out exactly what you are saying there but it sounds like you are saying you have a small squad which doesn't make sense because it isn't a plus with a bigger fixture list.

Congrats on the title
