Collymore Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 Just how the **** did we win the league? I then turn my brain off and recharge it for another attempt to answer the question, again, I'm in a mad cycle of not having a clue. So who is to pin point for that 5000/1 shot? Or was it a mixture of lots of them all coming together at the right time, a bit like planet alignment? In no particular order these are thoughts in my head: Steve Walsh Some say he brought in all the players but he also had some shockers mixed in there too Claudio Ranieri Yes he tightened us up in defence but eventually bounced back down to Earth and surely couldn't have been the sole guy Owners Invested but could never in their wildest dreams imagined they'd win the league otherwise it'd be a fool proof model Players Just one of those weird things where they all reached their peak at exactly the same time? Rudkin Is he the messiah that we've all under estimated? Shakespeare Was really the reason why it all happened? Stowell The catalyst behind Shakey? Fans Law of attraction and it was some kind of quantum attraction? Crazy days. How the hell will we ever unravel it? I'd be interested to hear people's thoughts and interpretations though....

Ric Flair Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 In a team sport where collectively the underdogs usually fall just short when faced with a sustained period of over achieving, it's ridiculous. But someone had to do it at some point, it wasn't a fluke but it was a phenomenon. I can only assume as a club that goes from the sublime to the ridiculous we were always going to be the one freak club to do it. It's been an honour to witness it and we'll never forget it. This was us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfosse Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 It's obvious...Shakespeare. Serial winner. League winner - League 1 League winner - Championship League winner - Premiership Last 8 Champions League First 6 games won as manager placing himself alongside greats of management. Of course, previous contributors are right, it was a bit of lots of things. Everything came together for the most glorious victory in Premier league history.....imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benguin Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 - Owners and Pearson sorted the club out. - Walsh found the talent. - Ranieri took the pressure off and didn't tinker - Shakespeare got the best out the lads - Vardy, Mahrez, Kasper and Kante were always going to reach that height on natural talent. - The rest of them just found the form and desire of their lives. - The fans gave them more belief, desire and incentive. No one reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 Weird, planets aligning, never to be repeated, dream... All of the above, plus I remember when City announced Pep was coming in and De Bruyne got injured (Jan/Feb?) thinking "ooh, hello". United were playing under van Gaal , Chelsea imploded under Jose and Arsenal...well were just being Arsenal. Really can't see that set of circumstances happening again. It was up for grabs and we grabbed it. Monks, atmosphere, confidence...we were bullet proof and happy to show it. Claudio...ffs. Like a bumbling uncle at a wedding. Changed nothing and achieved everything by doing so...work that one out. Will never be repeated. You can keep your eternal sunshine, the feeling of summer of 2016 will never be replicated and will forever live within me. I also have no idea how or why it happened.

EnglishOxide Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 I ponder the question will we win it again sooner rather than later? No burden of European football this season, which is a clear factor in trying to get consistent performances and if we can land our targets (Iheanacho, Sigurdsson, Smalling/Evans) and keep Riyad then... Why not? We've done it before. We clearly have the infrastructure in place to achieve. Let's have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom27111 Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 None of my mates are Leicester fans because I've moved away and they all ask me, but I like to call it 'The Perfect Storm'. So called big clubs in transition, momentum from the greatest escape, spirit and a beautiful little guy called N'golo. Every football fan in the world, outside the big 6 in England, loved this. I'll be eternally grateful that we did it, rather than Stoke, WBA or Southampton. Did it actually happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom27111 Posted 21 June 2017 Share Posted 21 June 2017 On another note, when I was a kid I just wanted to see us get to Division 1/Premier League and I'd die happy. Then I wanted us to win a trophy. That was achieved when I was 17. Never in my wildest dreams would we win the league. Sounds selfish after that initial dream, but I want an FA Cup to complete the set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grantham Fox Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 Only 2 people have said about the seasons other clubs had. They were awful (bar Spurs) and we took our opportunity. Obviously other things played a part, but I think this is also a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a big part of it (although Arsenal beat us twice and finished second so Spurs were no less awful!)- by the time the others cottoned on to our counter attacking style and JVs pace the momentum was pretty unstoppable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkie1999 Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 Only losing 3 games all season was key to us winning the league, we had momentum from the season before and the team believed they could could beat anyone, that continued till Christmas or just after, then it was a case of other teams having to beat us and teams around us having to win just to stay with us. The first 10 games in the prem really are key to winning it and not, as many people reckon, the period when players are finding their feet and getting match fit, that needs to be done pre-season. And next season, if we can get our shit together and other teams playing in europe, we could have a damn good chance of doing something again.

foxfanazer Posted 22 June 2017 Share Posted 22 June 2017 Nathan Dyer. Doesn't leap like a salmon and score that goal against Villa then I don't think it would've happened. The momentum that win caused was the catalyst imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
