Serge from Kasabian: “I predicted Leicester could win a cup”

After securing their Premier League trophy last night, Leicester City apparently have one man to thank - Serge Pizzorno of Kasabian. Obviously.

“My prediction was that we could finish in the top 10 and we could win a cup,” Serge states in a new piece written for The Guardian, “But everybody thought I was insane.” Fair enough really, mate - it wasn’t exactly a sure-fire bet, was it?

Orb-reading, Mystic Meg moments aside, Serge seems genuinely over the moon. “There have been so many great moments,” he continues, “Jamie Vardy making history with the goal against United was such a special moment. When he did it there was the kind of cheer you hardly ever hear – everyone knew it was special. And beating Manchester City away 3-1 and the manner in which we did it – that was when you felt the bubble wasn’t going to burst.”

“As for next season: we all live in Leicester so all my pals are coming in and we’re having a Champions League draw party,” he says, nicking Jamie Vardy’s crown as party-starter. “It’s already on the calendar. As soon as we find out who we’re playing it’s straight online to book tickets and flights. I fancy Barça or Real and it would be nice for Ranieri to go back to Roma. Everyone loves us this year but I know as soon as next season starts, all the other fans will be singing: “Where were you when you were shit?” And we’ve got the perfect answer: “Beating you when you were shit.”

Charming.
