I hope they get relegated.
Wonderful season last year, but the cockiness of their fans means it's time for them to bleat on about being champions from the lower levels.

That being said, was Kante that key to that team? If he had stayed, would they still be a top 4 team?

Yeah me too

I'd love to follow their path. If I was offered the choice to win the league one year then get relegated the next I'd take it in a heartbeat.
 
If you look at the points that Leicester have lost and what Chelsea have gained this season, it all points in the direction of the little fella. He's a great little footballer! Maybe kante is the difference
 
Don't much care what happens to them, but I have to say I hadn't noticed their fans being particularly cocky.
 
They won the league against all the odds available, they can be as cocky as they like.

Conte would have something to say about that.

As would all the Chelsea players who returned to form once Jose was gone.

There's also a number of advanved metrics that pointed to the fact that either Jamie Vardy was the greatest finisher the game has ever seen, or else just having a great/lucky run of form that would never be replicated again.
 
Nobody thought Leicester last season was anything other than the outlier it so clearly was. Which is why when everyone was quacking on about 'what we could learn from Leicester?' most people correctly responded with 'fuck all'

The only obvious take-out was the supreme quality of Kante, but while he would have been an amazing signing, we had little chance of beating Chelsea to his signature.
 
I want them down purely so I can witness history.

First ever champs to go down the next season.
 
Like @Vlads Quiff I invested £20 on Leicester to go down before the start of the season.

However, my Bro has been wiser than me because he got 33/1 with Bet 365 while I only got 20/1 with William Hill.
 
I know one player don't make a team n all that, but it's hard to overstate the significance of Kante isn't it? There's no way Leicester would have won the league without him, there's no way they'd be fighting for relegation this year were he still there, and Chelsea wouldn't be as far ahead as they are right now if they hadn't have got him.

Most influential player in the league, bar none.
 
How many people said that about them winning the league last year, or, for that matter, about our chances in 2005?

Unlikely, but not "zero chance"
Ok 0.000000000001%

I backed us in 05 for 300 euro at 33/1 so I always fancied our chances
 
300 Euro at 33/1.

I can vouch for this, he did tell me about it after we beat Olympiacos.
