Leicester are the nemesis of Europe's cosy cartel... the super league elite want to disenfranchise upstarts and use domestic game as safety net

Go Leicester. Obviously, we’ve been here before. Back in 2016, when Leicester were striving for the unlikeliest title win in history, suddenly they were everyone’s second team. Even folk across the water who still pronounced it Ly-cess-ter wanted them to win.

The most amusing narrative of recent weeks concerns the intense rivalry between Manchester United and Liverpool.
