Well done Leicester - cloud 9 for the foreseeable future then oldbluefox!

[Frank Manning]

Love this from one of the fans' forums:
"Apart from the equalising goal and the final whistle I think my favourite moment in the game is when my missus said about five minutes from the end that she thought Cheltenham would score again.

That eased the tension beautifully, well done love".

Priceless OBF! Priceless!

We were helping at a Fete all day yesterday and came home exhausted, stopped at the fish and chip shop and then collapsed in a heap. When we woke up I checked the score and it was still 2 - 1 to Spurs but i couldn't stay up any longer. This morning the radio alarm went off with someone on Classic FM raving about Ranieri, so I sent you the text straight away.

Still a great day for football.

[Frank Manning]

Speechless, dumbfounded ........................... and very happy!!!

Deffo a Ditto, a magnificent performance ... plus a mention, if I may, for the Hornets who are now mathematically safe

Only one thing to say to you MOB;

"Come on you 'atters!"

[qbman1]

Not that I follow the Rich List (sorry, Premier League !) much these days but I have to add my congratulations to Leicester who have shown that it is not all about money. How's your head OBF ?!

Also, if you are interested, Banbury United gained promotion back to the Southern Premier at the first attempt yesterday after beating Taunton Town 2-0 in the play-off final.

[oldbluefox]

Congrats to Banbury Utd whose supporters will be feeling much as I do today. Also to Burnley who stuck by their manager and have returned to the Prem at the first attempt.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Great news Foxy. Have a pint for me! I'm not a big footie fan, but I am a big fan of the underdog!

And I hope any fans who had the courage to stick a fiver on their team at 5000-1 at the start of the season are enjoying their new riches. Did OL see that one coming?

[oldbluefox]

Did OL see that one coming?

I did tell him but I don't think he listened.

Shame. Might have helped him recoup the losses on the pantomime horses he backs!

[barney]

An absolutely brilliant achievement by the Foxes and will probably never be repeated.

Well done to them.

It wasn't too long ago that the Gills were playing them in league one, which is exactly where we will be next season unless the footballing Gods are smiling on us.

all to play for on Sunday against our knuckledragging friends from Sarf Lundun (Millwall)

[oldbluefox]

The last time I saw them playing they looked poor and all over the place so you should pick up three points on Saturday Barney. Good luck and may the GAOTU be with you!!

[Mervyn and Trish]

Have you sobered up yet Foxy?

[qbman1]

Had to laugh at the news coverage on BBC Breakfast yesterday. There was a reporter outside the King Power bravely trying to big up the idea that "the party was still going on". In the background there was just one dozy-looking bloke waving a flag - and apart from a pile of empty bottles, that was it !!

That was Foxy!

Had I been there it could well have been me.
I saw that reporter. Much ado about nothing. I think BBC had probably paid one of the workers to stand there waving the flag.

I think that's what counts as a party in Leicester.

[oldbluefox]

That would be true, QB, had he been munching on a curry pasty.

Curry pasty??? I want one! Where can I buy one?

I think that we have stumbled upon the secret of your success here. Best keep it quiet or every team will be at it

The impossible dream

Well done the Foxes

[oldbluefox]

All ready to celebrate tomorrow with my champers and Salt & Victory crisps. I have waited 132 years for this moment (don't look bad for my age eh?) and I'm going to enjoy the moment.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Not bad for 132 that's for sure. Bit rough for 21!

Obviously the stress of being a ModPlod takes it's toll !!

[RB1961]

Nice one foxy. Best team always wins the league.

I thought you were older..
