'Leicester can be a rollercoaster – this season was like Wacky Races'

It is often said by Foxes fans that following Leicester City can be a rollercoaster ride. Well, this season it was more like Wacky Races.

All set to race, we discovered the drive we had sacked the previous season - the Hooded Claw - had been replaced by Peter Perfect.

We went into the first corner well ahead and soon opened up what looked like an unassailable lead, with the possibility of new records being set as we disappeared out of sight.

We were well ahead when Dick Dastardly from Elland Road sabotaged our petrol tank and then, as we we were running out of gas, caught us up and overtook us - albeit for only a single corner.

Penelope Pitstop from Suffolk was proving an annoying adversary. Every time we thought we had lost her, she would pop up in our rear-view mirror.

Then with Dick Dastardly finding reverse gear and Penelope losing to her neighbour in the pits, it looked like no-one wanted to cross the finish line.

But, with a couple of late fastest laps, Peter Perfect crossed first and we just waited to see if it was enough to be crowned champion.

With the Professor Pat Pending brushed aside, Leicester - sorry, Peter Perfect - won the title.

We may start the next race at the back of the grid - but I cannot wait for it to being.
