Fair-weather Leicester fan dreading start of season

Any thoughts on who might win (not to mention who might get relegated from) your league of choice this season?

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/sport/sport-headlines/fair-weather-leicester-fan-dreading-start-of-season-20160812112194

A MAN who has been a die-hard Leicester City fan for nearly six months is not looking forward to the new Premier League season.

Tom Logan has been revelling in the Foxes’ place at the top of the English football but senses that a glorious summer of lauding it over fans of Arsenal and Manchester United is about to come to an end.

Logan said: “Seeing Leicester lift the trophy last year was the undoubted highlight of the six months that I’ve been aware of the club’s existence. I don’t see any point in ruining it all by starting up another season now. I think ideally we’d just end football there.

Friends of Logan have already seen signs that his passion for Leicester is starting to wane after he complained bitterly about the sale of N’Golo Kante and expressed his anger at a ‘disgraceful’ loss to Barcelona in pre-season.

Mind you, I was one of those who predicted Leicester to go down last year, which therefore means that I was one of many who were very, very wrong indeed.

Not that you're probably still quite likely correct, but that was unexpected this morning.

That would at least explain why Sheffield United fall short every season when I'm tipping them for promotion from League 1 every season!
