Not wanting to undervalue a Prince's opinion on football, but there is a strong resentment in the RAF that he retired a few years too soon. Google training cost for RAF helicopter pilot.

Betcha By Golly Wow, that's Scandalous!

Are we talking about the Royal, formerly known as Prince?

'Prince Bigbar' on Leicester. 

I happen to have suffered the ordeal of having watched them about 7-8 times this season, twice against us when but for comical tactical decisions we would have beaten them comfortably away, then at home with no confidence and very little ability, still held the 'champions elect'.  On every other occasion I've had the misfortune to watch them, they've sat back, clung on and by some miracle nicked a goal.  People say it's good for football that a club like Leicester can win the league.  I think encouraging teams to play in the style they've adopted will be the death of creative football.

Just my view, not that anyone asked.  Good a thread as any.

Yes, how dare one of the Premier League's smaller teams play to their strengths? Those world-class goals by Vardy and Mahrez won't plaster over the cracks - this lot are rubbish. If we hadn't been so shit, we would have beaten them with ease. In fact, we did. It's us who are top of the league, and uncreative Leicester who are getting relegated. The weirdos.

Its a mostly valid point, but I don't really think you can trace the decline to the Leicester game in September.  More it has built up over the last three or four years, and constant poor mangerial appointments and running of the club has been whats done it. 

He's right to champion Leicester as everyone else has, but then I think the telling thing for them and the rest of the league is how things play out next season.

It really could happen, and if it did would highlight the major problem with Football and the money gap in this country.  That's not to say I regret this season as a Football fan, but it does feel like it might be a flash in the pan.

A fiver on Aston Villa to be in the Premier League and Leicester to be in the Championship on opening day 2017/18 could be a wise bet come 4.45 on Saturday.

The way the two clubs are going, you'd get excellent odds on that right now.

Personally,  I'm disappointed that the Prince puns died out as quickly as they did...

I reckon it's a sign 'o the times.

You have to play in a style to suit your players and Ranieri has achieved this. They may be a one season wonder, but it's good to see the money bags clubs struggling to keep up.

AS far as Villa are concerned, pity we didn't have Leicester's resolve.

I completely disagree that they outplayed us, especially at their place they did not until they scored
