Not Sour Grapes But

[weecalf]

So Leicester won and Spurs did not okay fair enough .The thing which I have notice is how glad the general public is that the big clubs did not win it with their divers and obscene wage demands .After all Spurs have improved so it was not all bad news

What is the gist of this thread?

I think everyone was pleased to see the underdog win, and for lots of people to beat the bookies. I have no interest in football, but was happy to see Leicester win the thing.

[ummmm]

Am I right in thinking that Leicester has never won before?

We do like the underdog....

[chelle7272]

Yes very happy for Leicester :)

Correct ummmm they have never won before At the start fo the season they were 5000-1 outsiders to win, favourites to be relegated!

[ummmm]

Well done them :-)

I wanted the Chinese guy to win the snooker, instead of the Brit who had won before - support of the underdog again.

Should I be ashamed?

[ummmm]

No, Hopkirk, I've read a lot of support for him on the internet.

[Hopkirk]

Anyway, he lives in Sheffield.

Hopkirk, I wanted Selby to win, but would have also been happy to see Ding win. He always looks slightly terrified, so I feel sorry for him. He did have a lot of support in the arena.

The gist was that perhaps the press and the public are sick of the way the game is being ruin with cheaters ,who keep trying to con the ref .Leicester are not bad at it them selves .
