This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Last year with Chelsea was similar. by NDMike2001
Hell, one of the best managers in the world was fired because they were facing relegation. Leicester were certainly overachievers in 2015, bolstered with a lot of confidence because the top 6 were not particularly good. Chelsea on the other hand was on the verge of collapse (and relegation) with a roster full of world class players. In some ways the opposite of Leicester. In other ways it reflects the same volatility.
As for the most direct comparison to Leicester, certainly the most recent would be Blackburn in the early 90's. Bottom dwellers from 2nd division to champions in the premier league within a couple years. Relegated a couple years later.
