Lifelong Leicester supporter here, I keep expecting to wake from this most far fetched of dreams... Yes huge amount of luck. I think there is more luck that many would like to admit in professional football (or sport). To some extent you make your own luck of course but our lack of injuries, limited suspensions and the fact that several of our players seem to have reached that sweet spot in their career at the same point have contributed. Ranieri is an extremely experienced manager, the fact that he has had to make limited changes to a team which was on a tremendous run before he arrived has been important. The tactics have changed subtly throughout the season, Vardy was the force that won us some many games early on. Then the defence took over, we've gone 1-0 up in some many games recently it makes it very difficult for teams to come back at us without conceding more.

As a side-note, I heard that he gives players 2 days off after a match to relax. He supposedly says he is happy with their performance in the pitch and thus allowing them more time to recover.

  It's also their drive and responsibility as well. Mourinho gave his players extra holidays and they absolutely crushed his trust and got him booted out of the club.

Enjoy the ride! I'm enjoying the spectacle of Leicester and Tottenham's great run this year after the bottom fell out for some of the bigger clubs I normally support. It's fantastic - and I hope both can sustain the pace in the years to come.

  I'm trying my best to enjoy it but I want it all done and dusted ASAP! I hope it opens the league up for others to have a go next season. West Ham, Stoke, West Brom, Southampton, teams like that. When you see 30 BBC pundits all predicting the same five (basically four) teams in the top four places you have to wonder what ramifications this has for the long term appeal of the league.

It's incredible that he hasn't really changed the team that much given his reputation as the Tinkerman. Kudos to him for knowing when not to change things.

Lifelong Liverpool supporter here. I think anyone that supports a team not in contention wants Leicester to win the league. It will be really good for football.
