Leicester win the Premiership!

Would have loved to see them win at Man U, but still...

What a season...

I wish I'd put £10 on them to win at the start of the season, 5000/1 odds. Great stuff for the PL though, I think. Happy for Ranieri too. I'm a big fan of Kasper Schmeichel as well.

I don't think there's anyone in the country who isn't wondering "You know, I could have at least put a quid on it".

wasn't there a guy that had 20 quids on it and that got his bet rebought for 50 000£ in march by the bookies?

I think I would've done the same. It's easy to say now.... but I remember when I heard it... I thought, yeah, I'd probably have cashed in the 50k; Leicester going all the way is still not very likely.

well done to them!

would've been nice for the spurs too, it's been way too long since their last title.

actually... I don't really dislike any of the london teams. In BPL, I'm pretty much rooting for whoever messes with manchester united or liverpool.
I'm sure that if the spurs had won this year I'd been strongly against them next year though.

bah, not really a supporter of any club in BPL

Spain will have 4/4 finalists in the 2 european cups once again, so the BPL is kind of the second division of european football.

I actually agree. Shocker.

My least favourite teams are Chelsea and Liverpool. I don't like Spurs. I quite like Arsenal, Everton and Utd. I kinda just like to see what happens in the BPL since I support Leeds and they're an official shitstorm.

Why would anyone care enough about Leyton Orient to have a rivalry. It's like saying your arch-enemy is Rick Moranis. Nobody comes out looking good.

And we've already established Fulham- Everyone.

additions to your list(according to Football Manager):

Chelsea: West Ham, Millwall
Millwall: Chelsea
QPR: Chelsea
Crystal Palace: Brighton(not in London though), Millwall
Fulham: QPR, Chelsea
Charlton: Millwall and Crystal Palace
Leyton orient: none

==> conclusion: Almost all of London hates Millwall.

My god, ManC's display in the semi-finals wasn't even Champions League worthy; completely uninspired.

I hope Daz reappears one day and looks at this because Arsenal have beaten City at least 3 times since we last spoke.

anyways... I wanted to bet with Nietzsche that chelsea wins the league this season; because Conte is the best coach; and he doesn't believe me when I tell him that Mourinho is over. He isn't a top coach anymore.

Oh and yes; for me Jorge Sampaoli is one of the top coaches and he doesn't believe me. Simeone too. So no; I don't think the EPL has 4/5 best coaches on the planet; as he agrees that Ancelotti is on that list.

What would be your current top 5 coaches worldwide?

I must agree. Footballing style is changing, but it seems Mourinho hasn't changed with it. As for top 5 coaches worldwide:
  • Guardiola
  • Conte
  • Simeone
  • Koeman
  • Joachim Löw

ps: Ancelotti, despite the enormous budget advantages is still only shared first in the Bundesliga. If anything RBL's manager is currently performing better than Ancelotti.
