Had to necro this thread after watching the Premier League Download episode about their season. This has to be the biggest underdog sports story in history. As Forza alluded to, this wasn't boxing match where you had to be better for just one punch, or a tournament game, or even a playoff series.
And they didn't do it by buying a bunch of stars. It was a dude who worked in a carbon fiber factory and played part-time football just 7 years ago, and a guy that was playing in the French second division last season. Everything about this was amazing.
