It is an amazing thing. The latest amazing part is that they're not just hanging on after some sort of hot streak. If anything, they're getting stronger:
Oct. 1: tied 6th, 4 points back Nov. 1: 3rd, 3 points back Dec. 1: tied 1st Jan. 1: tied 1st Feb. 1: 1st, 3 points up Mar. 1: 1st, 2 points up Apr. 1: 1st, 5 points up May 1: 1st, 7 points up
In the last seven months, they only lost ground one month, and that was just one point.

I like how those leagues drop the bottom two and bring up two new teams. What is it they call it? Relegation. It's actually three clubs that go up and down. One going down this year is Aston Villa, who are one of just seven clubs who have been in the EPL every year since it was founded in 1992. They had a miserable season.

Thanks, Dixie. I only follow soccer during the World Cup but every can get behind a good underdog story. The only thing that would come close to this story is if the winless Detroit Lions of 2008, won the Superbowl the following year...I guess. i read a few stories of people from Leicester laying down bets at the start of the season and hitting BIG....so it's a great story all around.

In the last seven months, they only lost ground one month, and that was just one point. To wrap up this sequence, they finished the season 10 points ahead of the field. It'll be interesting to see how they do next year when they'll have a heavy European schedule.

It will be the same next season,but any of us can beat the other on a given day..The rest of the European leagues only have one or two teams who fight over the title but the premier league can have five or six.
