    I gotta say, for the first time in my life I actually feel like hopping on a bandwagon. The Leicester story is just so great to see unravel. It's straight from an anime or a manga or something.

    Team consists of a hidden superstar who appeared out of nowhere, his Algerian friend/goal scoring rival, a goalkeeper trying to step out of his legendary fathers shadow, and old captain who never was able to capture the glory in his youth, a bunch of free transfers and rookies the bigger teams passed on, a giant German guy, a Japanese star who joins a bit later, and some names Stan Lee himself would be proud to come up with like Danny Drinkwater (Jesus Christ, Danny Drinkwater)

    "The Leicester Foxes are at the bottom of the ladder and with a look of despair on their faces, but somehow they find The Fire to hang on by the skin of their teeth and manage to stay in the premier league. Old player from the 70s comes out of nowhere with a training personality straight from little league in the States ("Win and I will buy you pizza").
    Queue a training montage in the summer, and come back, beating smaller teams until one of the legendary "Four Big Bads" absolutely destroys you (Arsenal performing their duty). Pick up the pieces and start fighting again, draws against big teams turn to wins in rematches. The poetic moment when Vardy broke RVN's record against Ruud's team who was doing their best trying to stop him from breaking it. Having defeated two of the Four Big Bads in Man City and Chelsea (Though Chelsea are coming back as MetalChelsea to try and get some revenge later), they now need to conquer the most decorated of the Bads, Man United and the biggest enemy and their former humiliator, Arsenal"

    The Foxes are starting to believe in the unbelievable, but 13 games still to go means there's plenty of twists in the tail of this Underdog potentially left to go.

      Editing … It'd be great to see Leicester win the league, I'd be happy seeing Arsenal getting their act together and winning as well though. Basically as long as City don't win I'm happy.

      Editing … I'm really glad to see Van Gaal failing. That's the most important thing personally. Chelsea has some likable players like Fabregas, and City has Yaya Toure. Still, I'm rooting for Arsenal, Leicester for a good second place and West Ham doing good.

      Editing … Trying to buy the title's part of it. Where that money comes from's a lot more shameful than that though. City's owner's Deputy Prime Minister in a government that executes gays, lesbians, adulterers and apostates and where critics of the government/royal family are tortured and made to disappear. Abramovich made his fortune in the Aluminium wars after the Soviet Union collapsed and he's kept it using corruption, bribery and by being friends with Putin.
