Cannot think of anything that trumps it, it is an obscene achievement given the way money talks in this division and the shoe string that side was put together on. When I see them lift that trophy I have to say a little of my faith in the magic of great game will be restored. :cool:

Not if we find out later doping was involved...look at the Liverpool player is it just one or many more to come???

I'll be sick as fuck tbh, bunch of cloggers with about 3 quality players

What odds were Greece to win Euro 2004?
200\1

Where has this doping story come from? The energy and temp Spurs have shown is equally nuts but nobody is saying that about them? Also, while drug use may give you an aerobic advantage, it will not take previously very average players like Vardy, Mahrez, Drinkwater, Allbrighton, Huth etc and mould them into the unit they have become....And for what its worth, given the amount of money in the game I would be staggered if virtually all top clubs in this country do not have doped players in their teams (if not the majority)
 
It's got to be up there. Winning a league title is a lot more impressive than a shock cup run since you can get kind draws in the cup. To win the league convincingly having been near relegation the season before is amazing. Add into it the fact that the top teams in the league now have their pick from most of the players in the world with finances to blow other teams out of the water and it makes it, imo, a bigger shock than it was years ago. I certainly didn't think we'd ever see a small club win the title again unless they were heavily backed in a man city type scenario, even someone like spurs winning it seemed highly unlikely. Fair play to Leicester, they deserve it
 
Has to be the biggest upset for me, our cup win in 73 was huge but with a bit of luck any team in the top flight can win the cup, not the league

There's your clue !!!!!
 
Holland and Ajax going from a footballing backwater to a world power house in the 70's changing the way we play football.

Feyenoord winning the European Cup in 1970.

Celtic winning the European Cup in 1967 with a squad of local players.

Denmark winning Euro 92 with only 2 weeks preparation.

Greece winning Euro 2004.
