That also doesn't include a Leicester loss. I have doubted them all season but I really can't see them getting anything at United for one. I sincerely think this is a case of their luck may have run out. I have watched their last 4 or 5 matches and they have gotten battered in every one of them. To be fair in every match they find one instance where they (vardy) are very clinical on a counter attack and grab a goal. The Sunderland match for example if you swapped shirts and asked which was the title leaders and whom was fighting relegation anybody would have said Sunderland looked the superior side.
Again they may right the ship and hold us off who knows, but the number of chances that teams have missed against them in their string of 1-0 wins was incredible. Eventually odds would say things may even out, they also have a tough stretch of opponents bar Swansea.
The result against Swansea is anyone's guess but even if Leicester won that they'd still need two more wins from the next three including away to Utd who have something to play for. Won't be over till it's over.
Why you say that? I mean all remaining matches are pivotal but this is their easiest fixture on paper as Super Jan said they still would need to win 3 or win 2 and draw 2 to be assured the title.
What is wrong with these people?
As if there would be a conspiracy against Leicester given that they've been anointed as the 'people's champions' and have drawn more attention to the Premier League.
They've been flavour of the month most of the season, having the rub of the green etc. One poor ref performance (that they benefited from with the last minute penalty) and all of a sudden dark powers are conspiring to ensure they won't win it, that famously lucky club Tottenham have been chosen to steal the spotlight.
Easy, i'm veering between wildly optimistic hysteria and bowel-loosening fear. The fear got hold for awhile there.
Why do people think Chelsea will roll over?
They're a bunch of mercenaries. They don't give a fuck about their own club let alone us.
That lot will be playing for either their future with the club, place in their Euro squad or their big move to Madrid etc. in the summer.
Plus Terry's last game, I'm sure he'll be up for it. He's a tool but he's also a winner.

Was just about to post this. I am as cynical as they come but let's be real this isn't their supporters playing against Spurs. Most of those in their squad don't even know or give a shit about how we are rivals.
Interesting point because if anything it gives us an excuse now if we don't win any of the games without Vardy. I think it would then be remembered as the season Vardy blew it for Leicester.
Quite a long time ago in this thread I predicted Leicester to need a win on the last day to do it, and Chelsea performing half-heartedly, aided by their fans who would be cheering every Leicester attack, to grant them their win. I still fear this.
Clearly these deluded 'People's Champions' have never tasted Lasagne on the final day of the season!
Fixed and bungs indeeeeeeeeeeed!
...they want corrupt?? ...i'll give them fucking Corrupt!
By Leicester fans. I don't think anyone else will give a shit.
we won't need any Chelsea handouts. That run ends at the Bridge. Perfect way to retire JT
Well I hate to say it lads, but Big Sam is telling it how it is...
"It’s theirs to lose, but they seem to be holding their nerve. Their clean sheet record has been very good, and if they keep that going I can’t see Tottenham pipping them - even though they’re playing brilliantly at the minute.”
...so in Sam's words, if Leicester don't lose, they'll win. Somebody chuck him a cookie.

A Wookie Cookie - sorry just want to use it-no relevance to the thread,
For me its simple...
Anything less then a win for us against WBA, its over. (I know this is obvious).
We need to take each weekend as it unfolds. Yes, it will become more important and difficult with each week, as the pressure builds, from the weekend before. Sunday needs to come and go and with the LC result, we then play our game on Monday and only then, lets see where we are. The pressure is firmly with them as they are top and have the 5 point lead, its for them to lose. We mustn't get all paranoid about the Chaves, predicting the results. Its all so close that we need to win on Monday regardless of what LC do.
One game at a time...COYS

Keep a clean sheet and draw every game?
