If you're looking for productivity, maybe look away from Leicester today.

The East Midlands city is coming to terms with the fact their football club are champions of England for the first time in their 132-year history and, unsurprisingly, it is all kicking off. The players turned up for training on Tuesday morning, mostly looking a bit bleary-eyed after a Vardy Party at the home of their top-scorer and football writers player of the year, Jamie Vardy. Leicester will be presented with the Premier League trophy after their Saturday evening fixture with Everton at the King Power but it is unlikely Roberto Martinez's men were discussed in any great detail at the training ground this morning, with owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha flying in to congratulate the squad and manager Claudio Ranieri. Once training was complete the history-makers jumped on a bus into the city for a celebratory lunch in an Italian restaurant (where else?!). Cue bedlam on Granby Street as fans turned out in their thousands to catch a glimpse of their heroes. https://twitter.com/danroan/status/727479969652314112 Snapchat
