Leicester-The Worst Reigning Champions Ever?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Some of us were utterly slaughtered last season for daring to question this shower as legitimate champions.

They are almost the same as last season barring the big miss of Kante, of course. What's really changed is the officials attitude to their rugby-football tactics. They let them off with murder last season and also rewarded their snide diving in the box and tactics to get red cards handed out to opponents.
 
Really highlights just how perfect a storm it was last season for them.

Still don't think people should belittle them though. Even if they get relegated, no one can take that title away, and as a fan who's never witnessed his club win a title, I envy that.

Yep. I think that's the way Wigan fans view their cup win.

The Rupert Pupkin gambit:

Schmucks for a lifetime, but king for a day.

This.

Not to mention the amount of penalties they got.

I think the referees bought into the fairytale and didn't want to be the ones to spoil it.
I would go as far to say that the Premier League encouraged it as an advert that anyone can win 'The Greatest League in the World'.

You dont go from fighting relegation, to winning the league and then back to fighting relegation. It just does not add up.

I dont care if you lot think I am nuts, but it was that King they dug up.

Said it, jokingly, half way through last season, but the amount of stuff that went their way was unnatural.

Like when Vardy was out for 6 or 8 games? Some bloke no one had heard of comes in and scores a bucket load. Vardy gets back, never seen again.

Hahaha.

It really just doesn't add up.

It is like they just picked a terrible team to win it. They had so many penalties and got away with so many fouls, not just little fouls, red card offenses.

Or maybe I'm just a crazy conspiracy theorist.

Why didn't they pick Everton to be their advert?!

Are you saying they ground the bones up and snorted them?
 
Here's a question.

EFC have never been relegated in my lifetime.

The last time, in 1951, was the year before ol' Khal saw light of day.

Now, I have seen us crowned Champions four times so from my point of view I would rather I never live to see us relegated again than see us face the prospect Leicester are facing right now, of going down so soon after winning the league.

But that's just me.

How do younger chaps and chapesses feel?

If Everton were this thread's eponymous club, would anyone consider it a price worth paying to have seen the EPL paraded around The Park at the end of last season?

Or put more simply, if a genie popped out your beer bottle this evening and offered you a scenario were EFC win the league next season and go down the season after, would you take him up on it?

Envy their title but wouldn't want us to be in that position if they do go down.

Not worth it for one season in the sun. I'd want the risk of trying to build something and quite possibly failing then having 1 moment then the world implodes.
 
However, if a by magic someone proposed:
1.Win it and get relegated

2.Definitely never do either in my lifetime

I'd take option 1. and hope our size can bring us back up quickly (I.e don't do a Leeds and struggle in the lower leagues for ages )
