....if they got relegated.
In a passionate speech on Sky Sports, after Leicester had slumped to a 0-3 defeat against Manchester United, he said that, although they had won the league last year, "they're not that good" and this year's form was just like we had previously seen from this bunch of players. He went on to say that they needed to buck up, or else last year's amazing triumph, one of the most remarkable stories in sport ever, would be tainted because people would always say yes, but they got relegated straight after it.
It was an eloquent, commendable and heartfelt soliloquy which left the anchorman stumbling to say "yes, but about United's third goal..."
But the Evertonian in me can't help pointing out that it takes one to know one. Jamie Carragher, good lad though he is (albeit a turncoat - boyhood Everton fan) and good player though he was, never won the league at all, never mind once.
Sorry Jamie, couldn't resist.
Speaking as a Mansfield Town supporter just one season in the top league would do me.
