I am a United supporter with tickets for the Leicester game on 1st May.
I feel like "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!"
I hope the Foxes have the title won by then so Utd can give a guard of honour then come out on top in a nine goal thriller!
United, 9 goal thriller!? Unless it's 8-1 to Leicester, I really can't see it! I feel like "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!"

Why are Man Utd away anything to fear anymore? Watford should have beaten them at home, as should West Ham in the League (and probably Cup) ... this ain't the Utd of old. They won't even be playing for top four by then either ...
You won away at City easily enough ... confident Ranieri can send the ex Dutch master into retirement once and for all before Giggs takes over ...

I think us fans are feeling the pressure more than the players at the moment! I do really worry about spurs, they are looking very very good at the moment! Yes we are in the driving seat but you can't deny their quality,and saying they'll choke it's spurs..... Well people were saying that about Leicester ever since October.
With 7 games to go....
This time last year Leicester had 7 games to go and got 16 points from 21
Over the last 12 months, Leicestershire points tally is 82 points.
Spurs won't win all their remaining 8 fixtures. They need to beat Liverpool, Stoke and Chelsea away, they won't win all these. I also fancy Bournemouth to produce a shock tomorrow.
The talk is 79 points to win the premiership this year. I think it's going to be less.

Impossible to guess what will happen ... but the games are running out and Spurs run in is pretty tough. I did quick tot up of how I thought all Spurs and Leics games would go between now and the end, draw at OT, loss at Chelski etc, and I had Leics winning by three points ... a point now in some games could be vital. I don't think Arsenal are in it although they do have the easiest run in (on paper) - no games is a gimme at the best of times but not now for sure.
Spurs do have a superior GD though but hoping it won't come to that. Anyone else but Leics and I'd be rooting for the Spuds ...

After some joviality between myself and the Arsenal fan, it's gone a bit quiet on the banter front from his side. I'd always said we'd be lucky to stay up, lucky to be at the top at xmas, lucky to be in the run of form... Now, maybe it's not luck.
One of my best mates is an Arsenal fan (lives in Leicester) and I've bitten my tongue for a few months now as he's repeatedly told me that Leicester aren't serious title contenders and it's only a matter of time until they cruise past Spurs then us. Like your colleague he's gone very quiet in the last couple of weeks, and I continue not to get carried away - on the outside
ETA some fans definitely believe
