Chelsea and Tottenham play to a 2-all tie, giving Leicester City the Title.

5000-to-1 odds at the start of the season!

Agree about Pellegrini. Funny, but when I watched Man City play this weekend, his hair is longer, and he looked a bit like Rod Stewart.. I know he's Chilean, but it was just one of those weird associations.

How delicious would it be in City wins the Champions League?

You think it’s going to be a bit awkward for Pep when he takes over?

Always had a soft spot for Leicester since Kasey Keller was their goalkeeper back in the day. Go Foxes! Can’t wait for the Champ. League next year.

It will be interesting to see how Leicester handles the success next year, with a bunch of new faces.

Yeah, I do. Actually, if City manages to miraculously get by Madrid, and Bayern gets by Atletico Madrid, Pep could be facing City in the Champions League final. That would be bizarre, considering that after that game is over he will essentially be City's manager..

Don’t follow English football much but I pull for Ipswich....

.....that’s about like rooting for the Cubs.

I forgot they were your team.

Congrats! Although they need to get their team/coach sorted out...that’s 2 years straight having trouble.

Of course I’m crushed. Although I saw it coming, not surprised. Vardy will probably retire. Madison will be very tempting for other teams. The end of an era.

BUT WE WILL NEVER FORGET 2016!!! Greatest story ever.

Well at least they’ll get to play the last year at Goodison in the top flight. They would have been real hurting if they opened the new stadium in The Championship.

I’m just curious how they’re going to get Luton Town to play in the Premiership with their small stadium.

PL will require upgrades, although I thought there were plans for a new stadium - not sure where that stands.

The current stadium is pretty funny, completely out of place.

I love stadiums that are literally in the middle of neighborhoods. I went to a game at Charlton Athletic, and it was like that.
