When did you know they would do it? The turning point for me was when we won at Crystal Palace in March. That run of grinding out wins really made us feel like title-winning material. I'd be lying if I said my faith didn't falter after that but that's when I really smelled blood in the water.
Back in August, Leicester City fan and season-ticket holder Chris Whiting previewed the upcoming season for the Guardian, insisting that safety was the priority. Fast forward to today and his club have won the Premier League title against 5000-1 odds - the first top-flight league title in the club's 132-year history.
I've never been a patriot, I've never felt particularly enamoured when I see the Union Jack flying high in the sky or when Rule Britannia bellows at the Proms, but the feeling I get when I spot Gary Lineker on TV or take a bite in to a Red Leicester cob has the complete opposite effect.
Last night, the Force and my childhood awoke. JJ Abrams' long-awaited first installment of Star Wars' sequel trilogy hit the silver screen this week and, spoiler alert - it was epic. I have been fanatical about Star Wars ever since I was four years old.
It's a disgrace! Thousands and thousands of migrants are trying to get in to our country illegally, and Mr. Cameron and the British government are doing absolutely nothing about it.

The creeping tide of familiar mediocrity may be comforting for Gary Lineker, but for those of us who woke up at 6am to travel to Southampton on Sunday, or any Leicester fan who has followed the Foxes around the country this season, the mood is of abject frustration not comfort.
