    The Championship is really all about momentum. Because there's so many games in a short space of time if you string a few results together, momentum takes over and you feel you can beat anyone. Leicester are a good example of that. Very few players of real quality in their squad (from what I can see) but they looked unbeatable for large parts of the season.

    Fantastic for them, Gary Linekar will no doubt give them a mention tonight.

    The one negative of them coming up is that he will be jizzing all over himself every week during Match of the Day. It's all about The Football League Show next season anyway :pac:

    I'm in my mid-20's and I have always had trouble spelling 'Leicester' and still can't without help, i'm usually quite decent at spelling, its just something about that word!

    think they have a bit of money behind them - with a potential strong Asian support - Malay or Thai

    Aye, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha. Hell of a mouthful that name :pac: Billionaire and his companies profits rose by 35% in 2013.

    For Leicester fans they'll be hoping he doesn't pull a Vincent Tan after six months, but according to the Leicester Mercury newspaper he has put over £100m into the club in 3 years and seems to let Pearson get on with things.

    The locals love their sport, one of the few places in England with professional Rugby, Cricket and Football team in same city. Congratulations to them.
