In today’s Fiver: Foxes fatigue, Big Cup, ‘Arry Redknapp and much more

Don’t get us wrong. The Fiver is as happy as the next person that Leicester City have won the league. Providing that next person isn’t a supporter of Derby County. Or Coventry City. Or Nottingham Forest, who can’t bang on about 1977-78 being the greatest underdog story of all time any more … for goodness sake do you need everything, aren’t the two subsequent Big Cups enough? Or they’re getting fed up reading articles about betting odds. Or had assumed they’d seen the back of Kasabian in 2007. Or has been exposed to so many clips of Claudio Ranieri being sweet that they’re risking the onset of type-two diabetes. Or are employed by either Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea and had gone to the trouble of staging a couple of marvellous 1970s-style bench-emptying brawls only for everyone to forget about them almost immediately. None of those folk are very happy about it at all. Oh the humanity!
