Leicester celebrating is apparently the World's leading news story on Radio 4 this evening

[Greg Bobkin]

If it were to happen to us, you would want the same treatment.

No I wouldn't. Nor would I expect it. Part of me thinks there is a massive amount of overexposure about this story - as impressive a feat as it is.

I have no idea what Goggle Box is and I'm going to assume that's a good thing...

Don't!

How do you insult someone's lack of intelligence?

I think you just have.

 

[El Presidente]

They've had all types of DULLARDS on Radio 4 talking about it today.

The BBC can only cope with one story at a time, so they have to flog it to death

 

[Poyningsgull]

They deserve every inch of column news that they are getting. What wouldn't we give for a slice of the same. An absolutely brilliant achievement.

Jesus Christ, we finally have a good news lead story and the country goes apoplectic with tuts and moans. Typically British!!

 

[Jesus Gul]

Absolutely fantastic story...


But if I may go all American on you...


'Enough Already'!!!

Nearly a day after this really was news, albeit inevitable, I listened with increasing bemusement to Radio 4's main 6pm news where not only was it the main story, they must have devoted seven minutes to it! What the hell is wrong with Radio 4's producers when they choose this? I'd have thought a brief mention at the end of the half hour bulletin would have sufficed, if it needed any further mention at all.

Have to agree. I have nothing but admiration for what Leicester have achieved and love the fact that the so called big clubs are having to play second fiddle to The Foxes. I am, funnily enough, also a football fan and so I realise how important the love and passion for your club can feel.

But it is still JUST sport FFS. The US presidential election, the European referendum, our local elections later this week, business news, education protests etc etc, all are far more worthy of being the lead story on EVERY single BBC news feed for the last 24 hours. Is our society really so dumbed down that this is really what we deserve?
