Yes it is amazing how organised they are and how they run for each other. I think they must be one of the best ever examples of football as a team game and how players need to compliment each other.

Also it shows what belief can do.

Just back from France where we had one hell of a time, experienced the whole range of emotions associated with being a football supporter, before, perhaps predictably, being sent home "Tae think again

And just as this season has played out.... Whilst Leicester maintain their form.... One after another, teams that should be challenging for the title conspire to screw up...

One more win for the most unlikely champions ever

I caught a glancing sight of the latest score in the Chelsea game and I'm now listening to Radio 5 Live and I'm really into the Leicester spirit now :D

A pretty foul-tempered match at Stamford bridge tonight, but as it stands, Leicester are champions!

And that's it! Leicester's first ever championship confirmed! What a refreshingly unexpected season.

And they'll be dancing in the streets of Leicester tonight :D

 

As a long-avowed football critic I've thoroughly enjoyed Leicester's run this season and Ranieri especially

Just watched Chelsea v Spurs on MoTD.  I'm not sure I got the right sport though, stamping, gouging, cynical off-the-ball hits.

Away from the fairytales ... the reality: Club who reach Wembley final will, at best, break even on the occasion: http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/wembley-weighs-down-halifax-with-extra-bill-1-7890986

There's potential for another 'fairytale' on Saturday when Accrington Stanley play Stevenage at home. A win will see Stanley promoted which will be a remarkable achievement for the smallest club in the professional leagues.

Our average is only around 1500 and with so many bigger clubs in league 2 eg Portsmouth to assemble a squad capable of being promoted is a massive endorsement of the players, coaching staff and directors.

I have a season ticket for Stanley and I'm starting to get really nervous as the game approaches.

Accrington Stanley? Who are they?

It was a pity they were relegated. A lot of fans were hoping they would survive instead of Guiseley after the behaviour of their management following that "goal".

I was going to start a new thread about Scottish football crowds (or lack of them) , but I thought I would post on here.

 

Celtics match on Sunday was watched by 47,877

The rest of the Premiership drew 33,952 in total, that's 13,925 less than Celtic, ranging from Hearts 15438, down to Inverness Cali's 3587, how do they survive? Just on the visit of the Glasgow giants?

If this is accurate, their TV deal doesn't look like it's enough to sustain much: http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/13204244.State_of_Scottish_Football__Does_the_TV_deal_represent_value_for_money_/

 

A total of just £15 million (between Sky, BT and the BBC) for a season of 86 matches?

I don t think Rangers and Celtic generate the crowds away from home that they used to.Watching say Motherwell v Celtic on TV the ground looks half empty instead of two thirds empty.

I think that's right. And I think it's pretty much always been the case that if you add up the rest of the league you won't equal whichever of the gruesome twosome was at home.

That said, the passion you got from the fans who were there really took some beating. Always enjoyed going to Scottish football.

This season has been taken up (quite rightly) by leicester's amazing season.

But 'also mentioned in dispatches' should be Bournemouth's fantastic effort to retain premier league status at their 1st attempt when most had them down for the drop.

Then in league one.... there's Barnsley...

After 20 games they were rock bottom and in a club record run of 9 successive defeats.....

If anyone then had said they would have made the play offs AND already won at wembley, their suggestion would have been regarded as bonkers!!!

Fair play t'reds

What a t*ss*r Sullivan is! The Sky footage looks like an NF or EDL rally.It looks more than 'a few' people throwing missiles at the bus.But West Ham are 'a family club' and because they are 'best fans in the world'(after Liverpool of course) so should not be criticised.

It was disappointing on Saturday. I felt sorry for the fans.

Do you think you will win the play offs? I hope you go up.
