This season, three wild claims have been made directly about Leicester City's beautiful history - all of them erroneous! The core issue here is a peculiar effort to diminish the Foxes' most incredible achievement: the 2015/16 Premier League title win. Which remains the most mesmerising triumph in sporting, not merely footballing, lore.
​Lest we forget, this was an astonishing, mind-boggling and unfathomable accomplishment wherein a relatively small, top flight club secured the EPL just a year after miraculously escaping relegation. Competing against vastly richer, larger organisations, the East Midlanders triumphed despite possessing a significantly smaller club stature, a modest fan base, a relatively miniscule budget and a lesser city population.
​Consequently, when talented yet utterly delusional journalists and partisan supporters attempt to decrease or align their own clubs' lesser successes with this masterpiece, it is fairly shocking, inauthentic - and rather embarrassing.
Leicester City's was the greatest attainment
Why do otherwise decent writers stoop to such intellectual dishonesty? ​The answer is simple: to cynically enhance and increase their reputations and readership through the modern scourge of clickbait.
Most bloggers and reporters are occasionally guilty of this transgression, and indeed, even this writer must produce a vast amount of content each and every month to satisfy the digital beast. However, to suggest that Hearts potentially winning the comparably insignificant Scottish Premiership is as momentous as City's Decennial trophy lift is utterly outrageous. The competitive disparity between the two landscapes renders any such parallel completely hollow and historically inaccurate.
"Hearts have the chance to complete one of the most unlikely title wins in football history this season – and could surpass Leicester City’s famous 2016 triumph in terms of shock value, according to new research by William Hill."A bemusing William Hill
​In addition, some deluded observers and professionals believe if Tottenham Hotspur were relegated, it would be as momentous as Leicester winning the Premier League. While that would represent a hypothetically monumental failure from Spurs, the comparison to the Foxes' ultimate glory is totally laughable.

​Meanwhile, talkSPORT, an outlet that famously loves unnecessarily stirring a perfectly infused pot, recently made a wilder suggestion than most Foxes fans will ever be prepared to tolerate. Their so-called chief football correspondent, Alex Crook, has boldly claimed that Bournemouth possibly qualifying for the Champions League would equal, or be 'as big a miracle' as, that miraculous 2016 feat.
"I think it will be just as big of a miracle as when Leicester won the league and defied the odds at 5000/1.A mistaken Alex Crook
"One of my first ever jobs was covering Bournemouth at their new stadium..."
​To conflate a mere top-six Cherries finish with the greatest fairy tale in football's annals is absolute partisan nonsense. Such desperate equivalencies only expose the intellectual bankruptcy, or willingness to bend the truth, of modern football media when confronted with an immortal legacy. The Leicester Incredibles are more significant than the other three stories combined!
