Yes, but our argument has been that is it isn't a possibility.

By definition, winning the league over 38 games cannot be a freak occurrence. Leicester's league win demonstrated the fact that there is simply no systemic reason that any club with the right combination of players and management cannot win the league in any given season.
How much money would you bet on such a lowly team winning the league again (without the help of a sugar daddy) in the next decade? Or 20 years? There's a reason why the answer is "not much" - it was a freak season.
Equally, going the season unbeaten. Laudable, but ultimately a freak.
Fine, but if Leicester can achieve it despite all that, how much worse does that make the fact that a team with our resources and talent hasn't done so for 12 years?
Let's be honest, if we'd played to our potential that season, we'd have won the league. The fact we didn't is actually a pretty savage indictment of the character and leadership of that team.
Particularly given that they could have won the league with 71 points that season, underlining just how bad all the 'best' sides were that year. So bad in fact that we finished above them with one of our poorest returns in years.
A freak season. We cant even properly challenge for the title in a freak season. THat is how **** we are.
