"Four big clubs -- Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal -- have won all the titles in the past 20 years", but they "all had appalling seasons: Chelsea, [...] Manchester United [...] and Liverpool, the other big club, is seventh."

Er, so Man City and Arsenal are not "big clubs", apparently. Nice "submarine" insult there.

EDIT: another gem: "All teams have always counterattacked, but few have based their game so completely around it."

That's utter drivel. Go read up on Italian teams of the 60s, which were pretty successful at doing exactly that. With all due respect to Claudio Ranieri, he's not really close to the genius of Nereo Rocco or Helenio Herrera.

The innovation of Leicester City is that they used statistics to identify players who could fit this style better than the average, and they recruited a manager who knows how to manage this style of play better than the average. Whether this combination was an accident or not, I think it's still open for debate -- they had a very successful run of games with the previous manager as well.
