Most Leicester fans I know aren't counting any chickens at all. I saw a post from one which describes my feelings exactly - if someone suggests "job done, let's buy a "Champions" scarf" I want to rip their heads off because in my mind it's 50:50. However, if someone states that Spurs are going to catch us I can't help bristling and adopting the "where's the evidence for that" stance! In short, a bit schizo. I guess it's the tension and adopting to never having been in this position before.

You seem to be accepting second now?
How would you feel if it comes down to the last minute of the last match, Townsend equalises and we lose out and come second then?
Home ok. Our membership scheme is pretty decent and if you get online at the right time you'll be ok. Away, very difficult unless you're a season ticket holder with a lot of loyalty points.
Why are you on here (if its not to gloat)?
"I want to rip their heads off because in my mind it's 50:50"
Where is the evidence for that?
YOU ARE FIRM FAVOURITES AND EVERYONE IS EXPECTING YOU TO WIN THE PL
We have a 50k waiting list mate, we sellout are home games every week for years. The big difference this year is away applications. Basically you have to be an ST with 300+ points even if it's Stoke away, which is pretty unheard of.
There are 10 games to go. Five each.
It is not over.
I don't see any fat ladies, and I sure as Hell don't hear any singing.
I believe.

I was interested to see what fans of our main (only?) rivals for the title thought about us, and what the feeling was amongst you about your own team, etc. Same reasons as many fans, including yours, visit other forums. Also because I have no grudge against Spurs and from a footballing perspective you'd be mental not to admire what your manager is building. And because, as I said in my first post the other day, it's good to see 2 teams from outside the normal top 4 (one from way outside, which makes it even better) is this unique position. I seem to remember that you had a problem with that then - are these alien concepts to you?
Don't get me wrong, I want us to win with every fibre of my being; nearly killed the cat in disgust when you scored 3 on Sunday (although I don't need much of excuse as I don't like him much anyway) - I'm a long way from being a "football's the winner" fan. But if we do slip up I'd find it far easier to swallow if Spurs won it than pretty much any of the others, and most Leicester fans I know feel the same.
That ok?
Am I right that WHL (too lazy to look up) is only 37,000 capacity? Can see why you need a new ground. Although it puts a bit more pressure on the Wenger theories of the past few years.
Still stick by my original forecast that we will get 78 points and finish above LC on goal difference,chuck in the towel so soon,come on have a little bit of faith you Cocks COYS
I can hear the excitement in your words, you are expecting to lift the PL title and do not expect to fail.
"But if we do slip up I'd find it far easier to swallow if Spurs won it than pretty much any of the others, and most Leicester fans I know feel the same". Sorry- easy to say when you are unlikely to slip up.
No outcome will be acceptable for either supporters unless their team win?
Annoying and respect.
Exactly. Us winning 6 in a row is more plausible than them winning 10 - especially as we have the better run in now on paper.
We just desperately need this weekend to be the first swing in our favour. Then the pressure is really on them.
As of last weekend, Chavs cannot now finish above us. As each week passes, their likelihood of CL, and then Europa will dwindle, and I fully expect their players to have their heads elsewhere when Leicester come to town. I just can't see them having the character to put up a fight.
NEWSFLASH:
According to my four year old, Foxy Loxy did actually end up eating Chicken Licken. I'm not sure how relevant this information is, but I'll just put it out there...
As I said in a previous post, they may well go on and win the title this year, but I am far more positive about the future for us. We have a cracking young team with fantastic espirit de corps, one of the best managers in Europe and the Prem's second biggest stadium being built. We are building something special, and Leicester's 15 minutes of fame will not change that.
Oh absolutely. My post was in reply to an over confident Leicester fan.
Agree; I wasn't digging you out mate. It was just stream of consciousness ramblings after my second-last day at work... I'm finally changing jobs after 19 years!!
:dierpochhug:
I guess you didn't read this post.
The run in....
Anyway, you don't have to lose any. You could draw all 5 and still not win it. You could win 2 draw 2 and lose 1 and still not win it. That's not out of the question surely? It's yours to lose fella. Think about that.
Chelsea will be very much up for our match, regardless of how much the points won't really help them.
They'll do whatever they can to stop us winning the league, and can act as kingmakers if they beat us and lie down for Leicester.
And you can bet they'll lie down for Leicester - fuck me, we had a low life Chelsea troll saying they'll do as much in the other matches thread.
