Phenomenal achievement. What a team and what a job Alonso has done. Fantastic for football generally

Is the plan to have it at the City game?There is one on the way
I read his list of honours as a player, he pretty much won everything twice at club and international level except for the world cup. That's some going.

Do post a link if there’s a fund raiser to help with the cost.
Brilliant!

It's "Pomp and Circumstance", not "Land of Hope & Glory", one assumes. Since the later would be profoundly weird.

Completely agree.
If they go on to win the German Cup and the UEFA cup do you think it eclipses what Leicester did by winning the league?

Of the comparison, interesting that both teams won their leagues after flirting with relegation the previous season, Leicester spending 19 weeks in 20th place and Leverkusen sitting as low as 18th prior to Alonso's appointment.

I thought it was "We all follow the Albion..."
Same difference. Blasting out Elgar when you win the league. Top marks.
I hope there's some Albion fans on their chatrooms saying well done. I assume that @Herr Tubthumper and @attila have access to all German footie NSC equivalents.
Don't want to take anything away from Leicester but yes. Any treble would eclipse "just" winning the league.
While PL is obviously more competitive than BL they just break Bayern's title hegemony and won the league not by "luck" but in a very dominant fashion.
Still some way to go and it will probably be harder to keep the focus now (they also play Dortmund, Stuttgart and Frankfurt in their next three league games so not an easy schedule) but it's possible for them to stay unbeaten for a whole season not just in BL but in all competitions which would be a unique achievement. At least I don't think this ever happened before.
