Montpellier was just about as shocking as Leicester, and there was one in Turkey where a mid/lower league table won it a few years ago. Fairly sure absolutely no one expected Atletico to actually win their first title 2 (?) years ago as well. Denmark winning the Euro's after failing to qualify is also a thing, as is Greece being chosen as the outsider for even exiting the groups, but managing to win the tournament.
Remember when Chelsea were failing miserably in the league, so they got Di Matteo in, who managed to win the CL against all odds?
Sports overall: I heard last year around the Grand National that there'd been a horserace in the mid 90s where the jockey was at something ridiculous like 25000/1 and managed to win it, I think that's slightly more shocking. Loads of olympic sports have random champions nowadays as well, it's great fun and variety imo.
Loads of near-wins as well (as, sadly, you're still not as nailed on for it tbh), so...
Oh and van Gaal's AZ Alkmaar that actually won the title 10 or so years ago... The "nearly there" guys for the 2 years before, then finishing 11th, losing a few players IIRC, and winning the title for the first time in 30 years - about as likely to happen as it was for Moyes to decline going to United for another year, and in his last year with us win the title.
Taking nothing from your achievement as winning the league is as you rightly say much harder these days and it's an achievement in itself.
Nevertheless, they were promoted from a lower division, that year won the league and then went on to win two European Cups back to back.
That's ludicrous! So for me, it's got to be Forest with yourselves a very close second.

I wasn't disagreeing I just thought your post was a little vague. Good examples here though
Oh I know mate, it's alright, just provided examples you asked like lol didn't mean to come across as a bit aggressive here! Soz
Still hope you win it, despite what I put in brackets up there. Just saying that any team can drop points/lose games, but you guys have looked solid so far... Be good if it's already decided by the time you play us so we (somehow) beat you though, just cuz we'd need the points more than you if you already have the title lol

I hope we win it at that game as its been changed to a 5:30 kick off so the celebrations in town will be mentalDualityNSNO said:
Hopefully we only need a point and we don't have to wait for spurs or arsenal
Disagree with duals here, hard to think of a bigger shock in english football ever.
European football and english sport you can come up with examples but not english football.

Just wondering why you've not managed it in 130 odd years then
But... I did say it is the bigger shock in England in the last 30-odd years?
Was thinking of Forest before this obviously.
You might have meant that but you said the exact opposite of that, hence my confusion.

Because we weren't very good........
Ah, I see.
Well, in my defence, I've slept about 1 hour in the last 30 or so, so... yeah, that's it really. Brain = gone.
Sorry about that anyway, I did mean to say that
Same, cant think of much else that will top this.
In terms of last minute things and the AGUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERO goal was pretty special, but I still cant believe it, not only will they win the Title, but they will win it by abar 10 points or something.
Just unreal.
