Hazaard's goal to kick Spurs' teeth in was top notch as well

I can't think of a more deserving person or team. Just brilliant. And they have some great owners as well. Fully deserved. I hope we're seeing another Dortmund being born. Except this will be even more epic.

It's an achievement of miraculous proportions, something that comes every 20-30 years.

Agreed, especially in a league like the EPL

Obviously it was a perfect storm type of situation for them with Chelsea being so terrible, Man U as well and City being so inconsistent.

But it's so well deserved and I'm so happy for Ranieri who's someone that's been ridiculed as an almost man for the majority of his career

Wasn't Greece winning the Euros something similarly miraculous?

Of course no one really liked Greece except dst, and there are far more matches in a tournament, so yeah I guess this is better.

I think International football is completely different and they can't really be likened to each other

I'm sure others disagree, but winning a top league is harder than winning a tournament - even one like the Champions League.

Man U won the Champions League by winning 5 games - less than half of those that they played. You'll never see a team win the Premier League with 16 or 17 wins or anything, it's just impossible. The mentality is just different. Leicester had to go out and win week after week. In the Champions League, the key is often not losing. It's even easier when you have one legged things. It allows for more chance.

The biggest miracle I've experienced is Kaiserslautern winning back to back the 2. Bundesliga and the Bundesliga. Second to that is only Leicester.

Leicester had a miracle season, odds were 5000 to 1. That's how low the bookies put them.

All betters discounted their bets on 'Leicester to win the league' with their respective bookies two or three months ago. This as the bookies would have gone bankrupt had they not discounted them and Leicester go on to win.

Ranieri stated after the win that the secret to his success is he had the whole dressing room as one group behind him. Unlike at other clubs where there would be groups inside one dressing room.

Now is this the biggest miracle in sports? Could very well be.

I really am happy for Ranieri. I feel like he's almost become a joke to the media never being able to win. Whenever he gets a good job, he's basically mocked and that the club could always do better.

Yup me too. Ranieri is always seen as a coach who is brought in to stop a slide, but will do nothing else. This is a great response.

And it's a good club too. Very close to the city..

Crystal Palace paying £32m for Batshuayi.

This is part of the reason why England is struggling, but that's for another day.

The Premier League surely has to implode at some point? The worst Premier League club probably has more pulling power than all but about 10 clubs in all of Europe. It's madness.
