As a Watford fan, we've had our recent run ins with Leicester... I think the league is just out of our reach, so if we're not going to win it then I want Leicester to do it.

As with our own success this season, I worry about the strength in depth of our squad and this is likely to be Leicester's undoing too.

we have had a couple of recent controversial run ins so I know that wont have been easy to say! I was reading a post earlier that 2/3 years ago, us, watford and palace occupied half of the top 6 of the championship, now we occupy 3 of the top 7 of the premier league!

The 2nd half of the season and how January goes (who we buy as I know we wont sell anyone important) will determine our fate, I believe we have some pretty good squad members to cope with a couple of injury's (proved that against Everton) but too many can prove costly

I do hope they win. Partly because I live a few miles from Leicester, and partly because I love to see an underdog do well. Good luck to them.

Oh, and I placed a bet on Leicester to win at 25-1 and Chelsea to be relegated at 250-1 (or something like that) smile

I think Leicester title winners and Vardy top goal scorer was 2500/1 at the start of the season.

still there or there abouts, huge 3 games coming up once again, but I dont think there are any easy games in this league any more. We have had a pretty tough run recently and I think today has helped get our confidence back, played much more attatcking and passing football like we were at the start of the season, and our defence is looking so much better!

Ive noticed some of the fans from the top teams startig to go from 'oh ye its great what leicester are doing' to hating us as we arnt dropping away like they expected

Wow. 0-3 against Man City right now. Superb story so far. I really, really, hope it works out better for Leicester than it did for Liverpool a couple of seasons ago!

They are now favourites at the bookies (for the first time). It would be a great story if they can actually go on and win the title.

Superb performance so far.

With no disrespect to the performances they have put in, how poor has this league become & how has it happened?

Great for entertainment but it looks like a long time until we see a British club win the CL again, or England get taken seriously again in internationals

I'd say the league as a whole is much better quality than a few years ago. The big clubs are worse, but that may be in no part down to the fact that none of them get a chance to put a run of results together any more due to the aforementioned better "lesser" teams.

After today surely the joke is over isn't it?

They've got to be odds on to win it!

Fantastic effort today. To keep that City team quiet until the dying minutes and score three superb goals is something to be proud of.

I hope you go all the way and win it.

Isn't this how football used to be before the advent of the premier league?
