When it comes out that they were all on PED's this season will they be relegated?

Leicester City in the Premier League prior to Howard Webb selecting match officials:

4 wins 7 draws 18 losses

Penalty differentials: 2 in favour 3 against
Red Card differentials: 2 in favour 2 against

Leicester City in the Premier League since Howard Webb selects match officials:

24 wins 10 draws 4 losses

Penalty differentials: 10 in favour 1 against
Red Card differentials: 4 in favour 1 against

This breakpoint did not occur in the summer when Claudio Ranieri became manager but from the very first round of matches when Webb selected the officials - Mark Clattenburg (who had given Leicester two penalties plus a red card against Man Utd earlier in the season) being chosen for the West Ham match which started the run of 7 wins 1 draw and 1 loss in final 9 games of last season.

This season Leicester City have the third worst possession stats in the Premier League.
Leicester City also have the lowest pass completion rate in the Premier League and the fifth worst in the top five European leagues (98 teams).

So they hardly ever have the ball...
... and when they do have it, they can't pass it straight.

And yet Leicester City are going to win the Premier League title. How?

n 25 years of recording data on the top European leagues, there has never been a team even remotely as favoured by referees as Leicester City have been this season.

21 referees have officiated in the Premier League in the last two seasons.
The following officials have not refereed any Leicester City games since Webb took over - Attwell, Friend, Hooper, R. Madley, A. Madley, Scott, Stroud, Dowd and Foy (although Foy has now retired).
All Leicester City games have been shared around the other 12 officials.
Why?

Taylor and Dean have been given four games each - resulting in 8 victories for Leicester City - and Jonathan Moss has overseen 6 wins and a draw in his seven appearances as referee or 4th official.

It also needs to be explained how Leicester City, whose players are unusually given two full days off per week (more than any other team), are able to have the two fastest players in the EPL this season (one of whom is 29 years old), and 3 of the seven quickest.

Leicester City train less but run quickest!

How?

Leicester City were the least fit Premier League side last season prior to this conspiracy being established.

How have they moved from the least fit to the fastest with the least amount of training?

Performance enhancing drugs.

stay mad arsenalfag, possession nor pass completion rate doesn't matter when you play HIGH ENERGY football. and when you play HIGH ENERGY football you tend to put yourself in tough situation for the opposing defence, but yeah blame the refs like the lightweight low energy cuck you are

Relentless training during the season decreases the explosiveness of footballers. Training less, but the right way is far more effective. Leicester have top-of-the-line sports science facilities, whereas Wenger hasn't changed the way he trains his team for 20 years.

>>66033950
Leicester's way of playing simply leads to them getting many penalty calls. If you're a 32 years old CB with shit-tier acceleration, your fullbacks are nowhere to be found and some chav is hauling ass at you, you don't get to time your challenge right.

Gentlemen, observe the mind of the conspiracy nut.

The type of person that sees any statistical outlier and decides that much more likely than a team simply beating the odds, is an elaborate scheme whereby match officials are in on it, and Leicester players are receiving drugs that make them perform superhuman feats, rather than simply having access to high-quality sports science facilities and being well-rested due to more days rest and fewer matches being played.

What is it with American posters' overwhelming obsession with PEDs? I didn't even know what that acronym meant until I first browsed on /sp/ but every other thread accuses whoever won or played well recently of using drugs.

Can't one player or team just do better than another?

There was a massive series of steroid scandals from 2001 to 2013 in baseball, which is still our "national pastime" (despite only being the 3rd-most popular sport, but whatever). This, combined with the knowledge that literally every player in the NFL except the kickers is roided up, has made us really suspicious about steroids in other sports.

2001 to 2013 is also the period in which the Boston Red Sox won 3 championships, shortly after being bought by Fenway Sports Group (same guys that own Liverpool).
