Top of the league...

So Leicester have won the Premier League - demonstrating, against all the odds, that a band of brothers can beat an army of over-paid mercenaries, with egos to match their salaries. It gives hope to those who like football, but who don’t like the idea that only those with deep pockets can compete at the top level. If money is all that matters, then the FA should have bowed to the inevitable and published league tables which ranked clubs in order of their share price.

Everyone (except Spurs fans) seems to be enjoying this unlikely overturning of our footballing universe. It’s like one team has suddenly found a way to defy gravity. Will Leicester sink like a stone next season? Who knows? If the pundits could really see into the future, they would have had a bet on Leicester at the beginning of the season. Anyone who wagered £200 on Leicester to win the league, when the odds were 5,000-1, would now have a million pounds to bank. But no-one saw it coming… which makes the story even better…
