How often does a team that hasn’t won in a 132 years, playing the English Premier League at the odds of 5000 : 1 – win ?!!? This one has surely shocked millions across the globe and made thousands wish they had placed their bets on them. Think of all those blokes who bet a buck or two via Football Betting on Leicester City … they must’ve smiled their way to banks !
Shearer, who won the Premier League in 1995 with underdogs Blackburn, told BBC Sport: “For a team like Leicester to come and take the giants on with their wealth and experience – not only take them on but to beat them – I think it’s the biggest thing to happen in football.”
on my blog, but there’s one thing in this that caught my fancy. Of course besides having a spectacular team, there was something else.
For those of you who don’t know, Leicester City is owned by this 58 year old Thai Businessman Vichai Raksriaksorn, who in 2010 bought the team for little under £40m. And after a series of lost matches, suddenly the team were doing great. A lot of people believe that Leicester’s win is good karma, or even a miracle, “Barely anyone had heard of Leicester City before this season, and all of a sudden they’ve snatched the Premier League cup.”Well it could be because about 10 monks from the Golden temple are flown to Britain for most home games by the club’s Thai owner to bless the players before the kick-off, and also to give spiritual guidance to the players, before spending the match deep in meditation in a specially designated room at Leicester City’s King Power stadium.
Now thats something ! I guess its the Thai connection .
.. and speaking of Thai … my foodie mind keeps running to their amazing flavours. Currently I’m all obsessed with nut butters and this would be the perfect time to share my favourite new Savoury Nut butter recipe.
Now not all nut butters have to be sweet. I think they taste equally good salty, spicy and zingy – perfect to satisfy any savoury craving, while being healthy. And thats why keeping all these flavours in mind, I’ve made this utterly delicious Tom Yum flavoured Cashew Nut Butter. This nut butter is extremely easy to make ( I’m sure you read this line on most of my recipes ;)) and tastes amazing on almost everything. Add it to sandwiches, burgers, rice crackers, drizzle some on stir fried or steamed veggies or do just about anything you like with it.
