Leicester might've made a plucky effort to break into the top 4 and got a Europa league place. They've been in the right place at the right time to an extent. Still a great achievement and hope they can finish it off! (I must admit, i expected the bubble to burst, but can't see it now.) I am interested to note you have missed Arsenal off the list of other top teams. To me this should have been their year. They finally managed to sign a decent keeper, albeit only after he wrote them a begging letter, and this was the year they kicked on. As such it looks like they are settling for fourth place again, if they are lucky. Clearly this is very rich coming from a Chelsea fan but if anyone has any idea where it all went wrong for us this year, please let me know as i am donald ducked if I know. Talking about a team winning a title with few players, has there ever been such case where a top team, champions even, imploded to the degree we have. Its going to be a long way back as well.

It wasn't an exhaustive list. Arsenal will have to be disappointed, they had a real chance with the teams they usually finish behind all off the boil. It does seem the limit of their ambition is to win the right to get knocked out the last 16 of the champions league the following season.

fringo Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 If anyone here seriously doesn't like Leicester because 1-2 of those previous managers then it does sum up the sad state of affairs of west coast Scotland and it's bigotry. I'm happily assuming that can't be a real reason though (la,la,la,la) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
