quote:So they're supposed to get more credit for staying up than Leicester? What?
No one know or appreciates the stories of these other teams, the work they do to stay up and how they try to do it in a way that makes the locals happy and keeps the club safe, both financially and in the table
Sure, they may have gotten lucky, but they won. In a 38 match season. Everyone always says, "I love how there's no playoff. You can't luck your way into some elimination tournament. You have to win over a long stretch." Well, Leicester did that.
And for situations like this, I love the saying - good luck is when hard work meets opportunity. That's exactly what Leicester did. They worked hard. They had opportunity. And they took advantage of it. They'll be rightfully remembered as Premier League Champions. They won't be remembered as the best champions of all time, but they're still champions nonetheless.

Now I agree that that is what usually happens, and is one of my favorite features of the league but last year was not the case. And I get why people have a hard time believing it.

I would love to think that is true but its just not. There are games where teams out work and put play the other team but still lose because of luck going the other way.

No doubt, im not saying #notmychampions but I will not consider them as equals with other champions.
