Penis is such a fcukin dinosaur.  He spends the entire match bellowing at professional footballers like he's coaching a bunch of 13 year olds at Ackers on his day off from the factory on a Sunday.

Well Leicester have been crap and it will be a deserved win by Smethwick.

Born and raised in Leicester, have an interest in the team and was delighted when they won the title last year (having spent pretty much my entire teenage years mocking my friends for their wholehearted devotion to Kasey Keller, Matt Elliott, Robbie Savage, Muzzy Izzet, Neil Lennon, Steves Walsh, Guppy & Claridge and Heskey as if they were the Barcelona Dream Team), but I'm glad they've gone back to being mediocre (at best, CL aside) instantly. If they had stayed good, even for just a few years, the fans would have become unbearable very quickly, and they'll still have the beauty of a completely unexpected title to savour. 1-2 at home to WBA is normal service resumed.

Edit: also, Frank Sinclair. How could I forget own-goal king Frank Sinclair.

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT:-

Amused by the US Playoffs, second leg and aggregate score currently New York City 0-5 Toronto. F off Man City.

A CL and relegation double would be quite amusing.

I love it - you just know MLS had a hard-on for an LA v NewYorkchester City final.

Now it's down to Montreal v Toronto & Seattle v Colorado.

Two Canadian teams and a team who play in claret and blue, not bad😀

Would like to see a Canadian team win the American League. Not sure when was the last time that happened in any sport. Where's Redsox when you need him?

Glamorgan won the county championship in 1948, according to Wikipedia. Does that count

1993 Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series and the Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup in Ice Hockey... but I could be wrong.

Toronto Raptors play in the NBA, don't think they've won a title though.

If we are going down that route, TNS are technically English and always win the Welsh League.

Off to Wikipedia to see how many times Berwick have won the Scottish title...

You called.......

Toronto Blue Jays won back to back World Series in 92 and 93 with the help of one of my all time favourite players, John Olerud

NHL doesn't really count because that's always been a joint Canadian / USA league. Montreal have won the Stanley Cup more than any other team.

The weirdest one must be the 1995 Canadian Football League champions being.......... Baltimore  ???

Sometimes make the playoffs but no titles
