FT Hull City 2 - 1 Leicester City. The Premier League is back

[the other bob wilson]

Almost predictable 2-1 win for Hull. I'm not saying the same thing will happen to Leicester, but I can remember that, after winning the title in 1992, Leeds finished much nearer the bottom than the top of the first ever Premier League (I don't think they won a single away match) and, based on today's game, Leicester aren't going to be title challengers this season.

I would have thought that after an amazing triumph like last season, it would be inevitable that a few members of the Leicester squad would have returned to pre season training suffering from swollen head syndrome and I daresay it must be nearly impossible to recapture the intensity of 15/16 even if you were a Leicester player who was determined not to let your standards drop because something in your subconcious is telling you that you'll never be able to match what you experienced three months ago.

I wouldn't say it was easy for Hull today, but, once they went 2-1 up, there weren't many times when they looked like they could be in trouble.

Bob, My exact sentiments re Leicester. Can see them struggling this season, but have enough about them not to get relegated.

It seems a very unpredictable league from top to bottom this season, far more than any other I can remember for a long time (bar Leicester winning the league last season)

Is that subconscious Ranieri?

"Aliens are more likely to land in London than Leicester City defending their Premier League title, according to Foxes manager Claudio Ranieri."
