We achieved the greatest moment in football history our Leicester City, yes little Leicester City won the Premier League.
Celebrations in order x 2 eh ?
 
And the irony is tonight Chelsea are at home to Spuds. Beat them and it essentially finishes off getting a CL place.
 
Still can't believe we fucked up quite so badly afterwards, leading to relegation and now facing sterting next season in negative points.

Yes, we had a platform to build on in 2016 and signed dross, we ended up in a relegation fight. We recovered to the point of winning the FA Cup then failed to build on that resulting in eventual relegation.

We spunked more millions on some very poor players.

So for me we did fuck up badly.
 
We were failed by people paid to do a job of work who couldnt/ didn't use their grey matter or their vision to see the build that was needed .
 
When we won the title in 2016, it was a complete miracle. A perfect storm. A group of players with ability, that had been overlooked by others, who were moulded into a team full of character, hard-work, guts and a lot of individual flair.

It could only happen once...
As soon as Kante left...it was over...
Another title impossible...
The Champions League dream finished...
We did well to get as far as we could, the following season.

Because of the enormous gulf between the top teams and clubs like ours in terms of revenue, we could not sign the very best players and we were never going to be able to unearth a hoard hidden gems, as we would be held to ransom on prices. Also the big clubs were watching our moves in the transfer market, from now on.

All that was left for us was trying to break into the Champions League spots and look for a cup run, shopping around in the transfer markets of the lesser European Leagues - with some success and some failure. We had a bloody good go at it, but chasing those dreams came at a price...

Instead we could have settled for Premier League mid-table survival each season and watched the money pour in. But I'm glad we battled from something more - despite having a fraction of the wealth of the bigger clubs. We may have fucked up in execution, missing out of those Champions League places at the death - but we were there - so close - little Leicester City. We should have got rid of Rodgers earlier too. But we didn't fuck up in effort and dreaming...

Tartan is one of Kendal’s more articulate love children but he’s got similar genes.
 
We did all that sixthswan said and ended up in Championship.

We were like a lottery winner, we won the Euromillions jackpot then spaffed it up the wall.

We then won the Lotto and demonstrated we’d learned nothing from our previous behaviour.

Let’s hope it’s third time lucky.
 
We fucked up after 15/16, no question, but you can’t deny there were some big highlights amongst that mad splurge. For me, it was far better to win the Euromillions, and then spunk it, than be like Crystal Palace, who for every season since 14/15 have settled for the bloodless thrill of two numbers and a bonus ball. Yes, it’s solid business planning to finish every PL season in that safe, grey, Europe and trophy-free zone between 11th and 14th, as they have. But if the choice in life is between Big Dipper, or Teacup Roundabout, then fuck teacups.

we failed to recruit a decent manager, my opinion in hindsight is that Claudio should have been controlled and not allowed to think it was only him why we were so good.

The moment he said "we've got to find another way of winning" was the moment l knew it was over.

We won because we had great players, playing a system that they understood and was basically unbeatable at the time. We should have carried on that way but Claudio's ego finished it, even though l say hes our greatest ever manager.
