Dave - you do indeed make your own luck. All those times when we've "unluckily" lost when in actual fact there's either been something not quite right with us (in our heads mostly) or the other side have made more "luck" than we have (Thessalonika anyone?), but last night the belief and the will was there - really Leicester can't complain.
This is what they mean when they say that good sides win even when they're not the best team or they're playing badly.
