OT: Trolling Chelsea fans!

Haven't had a good, solid soccer post in a while....

Today's result -- Leicester 2, Chelsea 1 -- pretty much creates two of the most amazing one-season turn-arounds in major sports history, and in the same league at the same time, encapsulated in one game.

Mighty Chelsea:  Won the BPL last year in a run-away, 12 points clear or something, wrapped up the title 4 games before end of the year.  Brought back basically ALL the same players and coach.  And... now they SUCK.  Particularly their defense (defence) is dreadful.  Are only 1 point above relegation.  Their next game, with Sunderland, is oddly an early battle not to be in the relegation zone.   This is a team owned by a multibillionaire, they buy expensive players like fish breathe water...and they have gone from the best to almost worst, inexplicably.

And little Leicester:  Two years ago you'd never heard of them, they were in the lower divisions.  They got promoted last year and did ok for themselves.  But this year, they are LEADING the league -- "top of the table" -- and have beaten several of the heavyweights.  Their best player, Vardy, has set a record scoring (goals or assist) in 14 straight BPL games, he scored goals in 11 straight, he is absolutely going to get a huuuuge $$$ contract offer from Barca or Real or Man U this summer.  They score 2, 3, 4 goals a game... their defense (defence) is pretty shaky, but when you score as much as they do, who needs it.  So they have gone from nobodies to leading the league.  Everyone keeps waiting for the wheels to fall off, and maybe they will; but today's result shows, they are still the quality of the league.

(Then there's the Gunners' fans, FINALLY you have a team capable of winning... and now you're chasing Leicester.  Somehow, it's always about Arsenal's frustrations, isn't it?)
