What's pissing me off is we seem to be the title race villain in almost everyone's eyes when not only is it equally a "fairytale" for us to win but we are doing it playing the best football in the league, with the youngest squad in the league filled with exciting young English talent.

It's about time we started getting some fucking credit!

Since the Vardy incident I feel that has shifted. Plenty of fans seem to have turned against Leicester. Our football, coupled with his antics and 'Huthball' have won many over. There isn't anything attractive about Leicester as a team or a club, and the media are finally picking up on this. They definitely feel under siege.

I think there's a huge difference between us and Leicester. They are normally a yo-yo club - relegation candidates last season. We've not been relegated since 1977!
Champions League is not new for us. We have been in European competition more than 25 times (someone will know the number no doubt), we have won the league, challenged for the league, won FA cups, and numerous other trophies. Leicester have had none of that. They are a mediocre Midlands club having a wonder season. Spurs have a lasting heritage and a worldwide reputation for attractive football.
It's not a surprise that the world sees Leicester as the underdogs - because they are! It's still 50:50 whether they bottle it or not from here. Should we go on to win the title it will be playing the best most exciting attractive football - a surprising outcome given where we finished last season and the young inexperienced team. But its not a jaw dropping shock and astonishment. If we do win people will say - well what do you expect - little Leicester bottled it and mighty Spurs came through. But the accolades will come - to the victor the spoils!

Ok. So last week I said I found it amusing that fabrigas didn't want us to win the league. Being an ex goon I'd expect no less.

But I've now just seen the post match interview with Hazard saying the Club, the fans and the players want Leicester to win the league! That now, surely, can't go unpunished.

I'd have no problem with it if they only had to play us, there's nothing contentious in that, but the fact they play Leicester on the last day raises all sorts of ethical issues.

Totally unprofessional. And if they roll over for Leicester on the last day there aught to be a serious investigation.

Fuck him. He's a cunt and will most likely face punishment for implying that Chelsea will throw the game against
Leicester to stop Spurs from winning the league.

Hopefully this will all be irrelevant and our fate will be in our own hands by then.

Even Fatty Gus indicating the desire to beat us. Absolutely ridiculous attitude. As if 3 points against us means something extra ! It's the 20 points gap that is significantly more important. May I recommend we go there. We beat them and we say no more. That's class.
 
Starting today, its a massive week for LC. They have a must win today (without Vardy against Swansea so pressure is there). Against Man Utd, they are getting nothing which places even more pressure today to get that win. They expect us to win tomorrow, more pressure there. Vardy's hearing pending, which they really don't need at this stage - It feels as though the wheels could wobble.

Again, I must be naïve, but anytime I've played sports it's been to win. I always gave my best.

And that's purely amateur. Professionals don't just get to where they are on ability alone, they've got to want it.

I just don't see how professional sportsmen will throw games for the supporters of their current or former clubs. Can't see it.

Sorry if Ive posted this before, but I had a text from a WHU supporting guy I know from work. After their experience last week at LCFC he's said that loads of WH are now hoping that Spurs win it. I'd never have thought it.

I wasn't saying that us and Leicester are on a par (obviously). But for us to win the league having been in the CL ONCE since its conception and with everyone expecting us to finish 5th 6th this season were it not for Leicester we'd be getting exactly the same backing, admiration and support from the media as Leicester are now. But because they are there we're being treated like what we are doing is nothing.

If we pip them to the post it'll spoil all of the posturing the media has done to set up this huge fairytale season when they should have been spending half their time gushing over our story and what that'll mean in the bigger picture of the premier league.

It just feels like if they win it there'll be an explosion of fantastical headlines etc but if we do it'll just spoil the party.

I want everyone to hate us, it makes winning so much sweeter.
 
Hazzard, Flaggygas and Fat Gus all want to beat Spurs and don't want us to win the league, yet they play both us and Leicester.... FA Charge for that one ? No? Our whole club / supporter base being goaded and the whole league placed in doubt due to the attitude of the Chavs. At least if Woolwhich were saying the same I'd understand it and I think I might respect them a little more for their attitude, but Cheatski ? No. Just scum. Utter utter scum. The only thing is that these bunch of wankers won't really honestly give a shit. If they cared that much they sure of fuck would not be so low down and far behind. Cheap lip service. Once we are 1-0 up they will fold

This has an air of 2012 all over again... what Chelsea do potentially has massive implications on our season!
Only difference is, in the CL Final, I kinda got the feeling they wanted to win that first and foremost for themselves (ya don't say??) The fact it deprived us of a CL spot in the process was simply a sweetener on the icing on Top of the Cherry on the cake!
This season, they are in sabotage mode... obviously they want to beat us when we play them, i'd expect nothing less... it's a London Derby etc.

But for two of their 'players' to potentially suggest there may be a motive for how they perform (or don't perform) against Leicester, if in deed there is anything riding on it by then, is quite simply scandalous!

A ban for those games might at least put them out of the picture... but how do you police it?
After all, I'd imagine it's much harder to win a game than it is to lose one (ask Villa) so no one would be too surprised if they lost against the Top side in the country... but it's the manner of it, and how do you make sure that if a Chelsea player has a one-on-one with Schmeichel in the last minute to potentially win them the game, then he actually does everything in his power to score... regardless of the wider implication for someone else?

It's a fucking minefield!

I genuinely hope, (and I mean this even if it means Leicester winning the league ahead of us) that it doesn't come down to the last day...

I think i've got my head around the concept of Leicester winning it before then, (if it happens) fair enough.

But if it goes to the last day and they beat a Chelsea team whose players spend the entire 90mins high-fiving the crowd, allowing Leicester to score at will, then a little bit more of football integrity would have died... along with half-and-half scarves and taking a selfie instead of watching a goal go in!

I hope to fuckery it doesn't come to that!

Imagine if a ref came out and said that? What's the difference then when players of a team who play both us and Leicester in the decisive games say it?

That must be borderline bringing the game into disrepute.
 
West Ham being absolutely desperate to beat us resulted in our one genuine Gimmie this season. It was an awful experience that one. I sense the same level of desire from Cheatski next week !

Anyway, we got to do the business tomorrow first them worry about them.

& first.....time for Defoe to man up and do the right thing
