At lest Vert has got some ball control and takes the ball out of defence rather than the huth hoof :-)

Apparently it is all down to Richard 111 getting a proper burial....before then, Relegation loomed....After then, only lost about three in thirty games!!!

Living in Leicester, some things are starting to wind me up (not smarting from Saturday, honest wink )
Despite what a previous poster said, everyone I know thinks their name is as good as on the trophy. They think pressure was last year and the run in is easy. Pah!
The number of bandwagon jumpers. Where were you all before?
The number of supporters of "big teams" who hope Leicester can do it. What the fk is wrong with you! I don't!

That's because you should win it, it's between, you Spurs, Arsenal and Leicester. The rest of us have bugger all interest in the league, so why not cheer on the underdog. I mean, did you really sit there thinking, "I support City, so I don't care if United win the title" back when you were poor?

That's a bit different where United are concerned. I wouldn't want them to win if they were the ONLY team in the league smile

Console yourself in that situation that they'd also be relegated! hehe

Well guess who the United fans are hoping wins the league. Kind of like where you guys considered it a successful season if you got relegated but beat United twice a season. I know those days are consigned to the history books, but they're not that long ago.

I was there and remember those days only to well!
Seriously though, surely Utd, Spurs and Arsenal supporters don't want Leicester to win until it's mathematically impossible for them to win it?
I can understand anyone else wanting Leicester to win but any fan of a "big team" ? Really?

I didn't suggest Spurs and Arsenal fans were. I reckon there are four teams in the hunt this year and still think you'll win it. United and below are battling for the Europa League now after the weekend's results.

As a Gooner, i obviously want Arsenal to win.
Failing that, i would love to see the underdog do it.
It shows what you can do if you try.

Substitute Spurs for Arsenal and i agree with you.Certainly not the moneybags teams. and the other two for what the supporters and press think it is their god given right every season to clean up

Still who knows, the Leicester bubble may yet burst, and i wouldnt take any game against those in the bear pit as a foregone conclusion

I'm sure we have not had a red this season though.

Im not saying we are perfect, we have indeed been pretty intense in most games, and this includes hustling the opposition. However to make out like spurs are saints is abit blinded. I wont go into my personal feelings of how spurs played, but you do have the highest average of fouls committed per game in the whole league. We are not that far behind you, but behind you none the less. With regards to red cards, the original post was about petty challenges rather than downright nasty tackles. I dont think I ever see any corner in any game without shirt pulling etc

With regards to some thinking all our fans think we have already won it, I haven't come across anyone who thinks we have. however 'the dream' is being believed more and more and who can blame us? however pretty much everyone I know is still stting it, because after all, we have had years of ups and downs and this would be the biggest thing in our history, all this talk of 'if we beat arsenal we've won it' is just idiotic pundits who are the same ones that have been writing us off untill we beat what was a poor man city side.

I would be surprised if we grab a win at the Emirates, but should be a good battle, better than Man city anyway. We are already scoring better than the 1st half of the season so things are looking good, but we all know this is football, anything can happen!

It's funny. When everyone is beating everyone, the league is poor. When one or a few teams are running away with it then it's "the same old teams that always win". I for one am really enjoying this season, despite being a Liverpool fan!

Why should the Leicester bubble burst any more than the Spurs bubble? The dizzying heights of second place is new to them as well after all

The league is poor....



The so called "lesser" teams are improving making for a great season and the big boys are just going to have to respond.

Quite incredible, but well deserved.

Who needs £m's to win at football ?
