Seems lots of you are on about conspiracy theories even before the game has been played. I thought I was bad and nervous but some of you are crying foul even before a ball has been kicked. Does this mean no matter we beat Chelsea you will all cry 'fix' lol.

Banter asise and on a serious note we are celebrating top 3 guaranteed now and a place in the CL group stage proper rather than the play offs. No doubt you will achieve the same so well done. This now makes it a race for the title in my eyes. Newcastle playing well last night also keeps them in the hunt for survival. I guess you will all be cheering Norwich and Sunderland over the next 3 games.

Like I have always said the best team will win in the end whoever that is.

Interested stat from one or yours on the other page saying 8 of 10 teams have dropped at least 5 points with 4 games to go. Does this mean 8 out of 10 prior champions have bottled it?

The Spurs fan who said Spurs bottled it against Hammers when they beat you I think is incorrect. You can't say any defeat is a bottle otherwise that means there are up to 10 bottlers each week (barring draws) in the Premier League.

I know most are on about the Manu game and your Chelsea game but the most important for both of us is this weekend. Each game is as vital as the other. Swansea can beat anyone on their day and WBA can hold anyone to a draw on their day. Although, I feel you will have too much for them. When we drew 2 2 the other week with them we missed chance after chance so you will finish your chances. Our game against Swansea is tough without a best forward but if we are to be champions we need to be strong enough to win, if we don't then we don't deserve the title. If we both win then it makes it very interesting going into the next one as you could get back to 2 points or we could win the title that weekend if we win and Chelsea beat you. I am sure their lot would be up for taking the title away from you - not by cheating like you suggest but by being up for a local derby.

So its never been a title race up to now-you really are stretching your credibility.
You are trying to spoil our enjoyment on the run in . You are now patronising and talking gibberish.

Where is the conspiracy theory? I'm saying they won't roll over for you because of the consequences to them in the eyes of world football. I'm also suggesting a scenario that is perfectly possible. And IF it did play out that way, Sky would be delirious. All to play for on the final day with each club having to go out swinging. It would be a fitting end to the most unpredictable season yet. Ratings & subscriptions would rocket. Conspiracy theory? Nah.

In the past five seasons, eight of 10 top-two Premier League teams coming into the last four games have dropped five points or more before the end of the season. Only Manchester City, both times they won the title, have blocked out the season with four successive wins.

How many of the 8 dropped those five points after winning the title though?

Also how often did the top two play each other (guaranteeing dropped points somewhere) in the final four games

I love stats. You can say anything with stats.
 
Can't believe we're actually in a fucking title race, it still hasn't dawned upon me.

I think hearing the champions league anthem at FUCKING Leicester next season is when it will all kick in.
 
Une question if I may....

Has a team been crowned champions at an away stadium, in which the home side is then relegated?

To totally jinx us.. Spurs could win the title at Newcastle and then send them down.


Has this happened before?
 
Fair play to thefightingcock for letting Leicester fans have a voice on here - over at Foxes talk (if you can call it talking) they are deleting all spurs chat.

Sure sign of nerves!

COYS!
 
Chelsea lost 3-0 at home to MC. If we beat them at home (if we do not then Leicester will win the League) that would mean that Chelsea would be facing 3 home defeats in a row. I would hope that their pride would stop them throwing the match even though Terry & Fabregas hate us. Whether they are actually good enough to beat Leicester is another matter. If it comes to the last match then we should be saying Chelsea are not good enough to win which hopefully will at least make them try.
 
My fear isn't Chelsea players will roll over for Leicester to fuck us over, more that they will have absoltely nothing to play for and in their minds will already be on holiday. Even though Chelski are a much better side than Newcastle obviously in the context of Newcastle fighting to survive we really do have the tougher fixture there. (i still think we beat them mind..)
 
I don't see Leicester getting anything at Old Trafford next week (especially without Vardy). If they did draw or lose against Swans and we take care of business against WBA. We could be taking the pitch at Stamford Bridge with a chance to go top dear me to dream...
