I've made my peace with them.

They deserve the league without question. I don't want them to for reasons previously posted, but no question they deserve it.

Only thing I found odd last night, seemingly most of their fans being so calm and sensible in the crowd. Just clapping those clapper things and sitting down.

If it was us (and good god it should be but that's a different story), we'd have people falling from the top balcony, off our heads. Just don't fully get it.

yeah but we're all crackers, this is your stolid mittel Englander, your country yeoman, they're not quite dull as brummies or village idiot ooh arr, cue archers intro an everyday story of country folk...not our sort at all.

I hope they stay the course and win it.

Probably desperately trying not to replicate those hysterical beauts across the park who thought they had it won 5 games out with their T shirts, booked bus parade, league winners chants etc. Leicester fans are sensible enough to know that a 5 point lead can disappear in 2 games and that there's 8 left with everyone trying to spoil the party. In short they're normal cautious football fans not over entitled quasi religious cult followers.

I hope they do it. Real fans of a real club with a group of players working for each other. That's what football is about.

Yep all the Spurs fans I know are sound, so I'd be delighted for them. I don't know any Leicester fans, but as a fairy tale up there with Nottm Forest in the late seventies I think it would be amazing. Things like this don't happen in modern football.

From my point of view regarding Spurs, I wouldn't mind them doing it either, simply because Arsenal treat them exactly how Liverpool treat us. Both LFC AND AFC always talk down to Spurs and Everton, even when one of us do well its always a patronising pat on the head, once doing well gives us a chance at silverware its always the same old cretins coming out of the woodwork calling us small time and basically s**t.
They often use us to hide their disappointment that they are no longer out of reach and very much beatable.

Spurs or Leicester to win would be quite welcome.

Talksport on my way in had the news at nine saying Benitez' first game ends in defeat and a clip of him talking. FFS, can you imagine them doing that if the RS had just gone 5 points clear at the top!! Come on Leicester, stick it right up 'em all!!

If this was the RS the newspapers wouldn't even bother with any other news content front page or back. The media gushing would be unbelievable, they still write as though Liverpool did actually win it in 13/14.

It's an absolute travesty that Wengers decline, Guardiola moving to City, and Spurs under Pochettino have had more media interest than one of the greatest stories in sport ever. Absolutely shameful from the kopite media as usual. I'm sure when Liverpool win on Thursday it will be as though Klopp has won the World Cup and he's Paisley incarnate.

If its one of them or spurs better leicester. Leicester wont be able to attract the big name players and will have to gradually build. Spurs would have the impetus to sign top players if they won and it could be very bad for us in comparison to leicester.

I hope leicester win it now. They deserve it.

Havent watched them much, what kind of player is drinkwater?

Tidy. Him and Allbrighton are good workers, which allows Kante and Mahrez to weave their magic.

Love Drinky! Does all of the ugly jobs well and usually has a good passing range. Every team needs a player like him imo
