holy fucking shit how was that not a penalty?
this is one of the most dominating 0-0 matches I've ever seen

Blackburn and Shearer in 94-95? I think they had just been promoted two or three years before that after like thirty years outside of the top flight.
Blackburn spent a TON of money though - they built something of a super team. Leicester hasn't really done that.
Watford will nick one late.
Just to double up on that - Blackburn paid an English record fee for Shearer, and then broke that record to get Chris Sutton. That SAS strike force was the most expensive (at the time, obviously) in the history of English football.
Sure, I just meant that it was a similar situation when it comes to a team that hasn't been a traditional power dominating the league and winning the title.
Also, I don't have the resources or desire to look to much into this, but didn't Leicester spend a lot of money in the last three years? I remember thinking they'd make a run out of the championship several years ago which never materialized.
I don't really have anything invested in my take, so I'll give it to you.
Looking back across the Champion's list, however, it does still (and probably will forever), look an anomaly.
