Do you ever.........?

[foxfanazer]

Do you ever suddenly get hit by the gravitas of our league win? 

 

Obviously it's spoken about a lot on here but it's almost taken for granted but then all of a sudden it hits you just how monumental it was. I was listening to a podcast earlier and they were discussing how many clubs can realistically win the league over the next few seasons and they could only come up with Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool. But it's like one of them randomly backing a Burnley or an Everton.

 

Anyway I'm rambling but I hope that feeling doesn't go away over time. We're part of an elite group and have experienced something that most fans never will 

[Kinowe Soorie]

I still can’t believe we did it 

[sacreblueits442]

...I know it happened, and understand it happened, but hard to believe that it did!!!

I'd say it's more like them backing Luton next season after they somehow escape relegation this year. 

 

It would be madness.

I even believe it happened. I just sometimes forget how monumental and unique it was

[SkidsFox]

It's not just that we won the league that season. We did play like world-beaters in doing it. Well, we had the stars like Vardy, Kante and Mahrez, but plenty of the other players like Morgan, Huth and Drinkwater were on consistently good form that season.  So much so it gets annoying when people try to make out it was an easy league to win. We still had to go out and trash the likes of Man City and Liverpool, and we did!

...I think it will have to happen to some other club for us to accept what we did because I still feel that it could be taken away because it should never have happened!!!

[st albans fox]

League win? 
 

when was that ? 

[smudger63]

Arrh, yes but the media will have you believe it was purely down to everybody else being crap, and Tottenham gifting us the league title that they should have won.

Nothing to do with us having the likes of Kante, Vardy and Mahrez.

All of who have gone on to prove themselves elite premier league players.

Just mentioning those three, also doesn't do justice to the likes of Morgan and Huth, Fuchs and Simpson, Albrighton, Drinkwater, Okazaki, kasper, and even the contributions of Ulloa with his last minute winner against Norwich, and his last minute pen against West Ham.

We were truly fantastic, and a joy to watch, and that wasnt down to luck.

The media will have you believe it was nothing to do with us being utterly brilliant that season.

We only lost 3 league games, and only to 2 teams.

The Arsenal away one being to the last kick/header of the game.

The season wasn't just astonishing because "little old Leicester" won it.

It was astonishing because we fully deserved to win it, playing in an exciting manner, with some terrific football at times too.

Its sad, but the further away we get from that season, the more the media narrative is changing to it just being a fluke, and the less credit we are getting for that season.

In the end it doesn't matter though, because those of us fortunate enough to witness that season, know the truth, and no rewrite of that season from the media can change that from us that were there.

Yep. I still try and comprehend how we did it. 

 

So many things just fell our way, both for what the club did but also external factors. 

 

Stars aligned for so long in our favour.

 

I love reading little bits of history made in that season that I either didn't know or just get reminded of. Magical.

[murphy]

That season we had such great luck with injuries. 

 

Nowadays, every time we lurch from one injury crisis to the next I think to myself that Karma has called in the debt and it seems like we have been paying for it ever since,

 

Well worth it though.

I mean, it can’t get more surreal than that.. 5002-1 odds of that surely…

True. I recall Kante being out for a home game against West Brom which we drew, but that's pretty much it.

Matty James was out for a long time. Such a shame for the player, but maybe he wouldn't have made the team that season anyway

[Jimbo]

Listening to talksport yesterday, they had the betting talk on and asked what odds would it be to have a UFO land, 500/1. Goldstein then point out that having a UFO land and discover definitive proof of Alien life was 10 times more likely than Leicester winning the premier league

Yes, I would have responded with the same. He didn't feature or play a significant part in the campaign. As I recall it was a cruciate knee ligament injury sustained against Southampton at home the season before.

Certainly enjoy the memories of the League win and finally landing The FA Cup. In fact reading our Honours Board is so much more enjoyable than it was pre 1997. 

[Les-TA-Jon]

One of my favourite things to do every season is to check the PL table after 19 games and see who is bottom. 
 

And then say “That team is going to win the league next season” 

 

just to feel how insane that sounds.

That was an amazing season for so many reasons. Went to every home game and Chelsea away on the last day. Loved every minute of it. 

 

The small earthquake we caused during the Swansea game. Absolutely playing Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City off the park - I was genuinely annoyed when Aguero got one back for City. Jamie breaking the consecutive goal scoring record. And that utterly brilliant last home game against Everton. The concourse behind the Kop was non stop singing all the old songs for ages before kick off. 

 

Memories that will last forever and something that hundreds of thousands of City supporters before us have never seen. 

 

I had a season ticket with my Dad and, after the first game when we battered Sunderland, I said to my Dad walking out of the ground, if those players had Chelsea shirts on, everyone would be saying, there's this season's champions. 

 

Wish I'd stuck a bloody tenner on it.

Agreed. I was one of the last to leave the stadium on the Everton game. I didn’t want it to be over and ‘in the past’, as realistically nothing like that will ever happen to us again. It was truly astonishing.

[FoxFossil]

It is our right. In two years time it will be routine.

But we can take some positives that it will also never happen to anyone else

I hate when people try to compare it to Blackburn's league win. Completely different circumstances 

[Gamble92]

The greatest win in sporting history and it isn't even a debate.
