Chelsea have been doing this shit for years....John Terry also puts any shit that Leicester players have got up to firmly in the shade...

I still think that if we can keep the gap to 6 points by the final 3 games we will do it.
Biggest worry is I doubt the scum will drop much more than 2-3 points in their remaining games, and they have an extra one. They always finish like a train when they are all but mathematically out of the running. We MUST take points to stay ahead of them. If the worst happens and we don't then, regardless of how we felt in August about our potential, finishing potless and behind them will be absolutely heartbreaking.
I think I predicted 5th or 6th in August , I really didn't think we had a squad to compete for top 4 . What Poch has built in this team & how the new ones have mostly slot in seamlessly has been nothing short of superb.
It's been a great season

Does anyone really think we can beat United or Chelsea? Or even Stoke.
We've been solid, and hard to beat, not overwhelming the opposition.
I don't think we are favourites by any means to win against United or Chelsea, and we haven't done so for a lifetime anyway.
We have failed all our tests so far. Newcastle, which wasn't even a test, Leicester, West Ham, Woolwich, Liverpool.
No one wins the title on draws. Nothing in the Liverpool match suggested we could beat them or United or Chelsea.
For all the stakes and talk and strength and youth and etc. we have not upped our game and have not looked close to title winners. We just haven't beaten enough teams, especially the better ones, to justify it.
Of course, if Leicester collapse, which seems impossible, and we win the remaining six, then of course we deserve it, as we would have had to do something to up our game. The current performances are nowhere near good enough to win the League.
I don't even know why there'd be pressure on the lads, they're not leading. They have to catch up, so they have to play out of their skins, and they haven't. All well and good to roll over Villa and Bournemouth, which by the way, wasn't convincing considering how easy everyone takes Villa apart.
We'd have to see a remarkable, unbelievable turnaround for United but I don't think they are up for it.

Long time lurker. I just had to register to mock the ridiculous post quoted below.
We have the best goal difference in the league. We've overwhelmed plenty of teams.
A lifetime? 5-3 last season against Chelsea. We did the double over Manure just a couple of years ago. So maybe the lifetime of a house-fly.
Nonsense.

Yeah I agree with you mate, sitting 2nd in the league with the youngest side and having scored the most goals and conceded the least amount of goals proves we have failed all of our tests this year. It is an absolute disgrace. You are absolutely right to pick-up on the games that we haven't taken all three points in as evidence of how incredible poor we have been, I mean in a league where it is so predictable to know where the points come from it is a sackable offence for not winning the league.
If only we could have listened and believed in every word that you said at the beginning of the season, your football wisdom was over looked, your ability to understand the game was under valued and for this i am truly sorry.
TBF we can't wish for Leicester to drop points to let us back in and then expect Woolwich to also drop points.......if an opportunity to win it presents itself then we have to do our bit.
It's perfectly possible for them to lose points in every game from now on. Even if we get to last match and 3 pts behind I think we'l still overtake them.
So....Man City away wasn't a test?
I agree but each game where you think or maybe that's hope they might get a draw or even lose they just seem to find a way. It is staggering and were it not us in hot pursuit I would be fulsome in my praise.
We need 6 points or more from our next 3 games. They need to get no more than 4. We have to still be in it with 3 games to go and then who knows. The problem could still be that other lot.
Beat United, a hard but not harder game than the Liverpool one and I think that's top 4 secured. Then who knows. Our goal difference for once is a friend and not an enemy.
We need the swordsman to flash his blade next weekend.

I despair sometimes. Before the international break, a lot of you were saying we would definitely win the league. A draw away to Liverpool and a home win for Leicester later and we’re now not going to win the league.
As much as I’m desperate for us to be crowned champs, I never felt it was going to happen after the draw to Woolwich. Leicester have a decent points buffer and an easier run-in. My main concern was and still is the Woolwich creeping up on us. The table does not lie and we will finish where we deserve to be but it’s been a helluva a season. Spurs will be stronger next campaign too. Everyone else should be worried.

This is hilarious.
The positive thing is next season is we will no longer have that EBOLA called the Europa league eating away at our league form. Can we close the gap? doubt it but we can only give up when it's MATHEMATICALLY impossible to chase them. Leicester have opened up a 7 point gap.Our hopes lie on West Ham, Manu, Everton and chelsea ( 2 being away and 2 at home).If we can't beat Manu at home this weekend we do NOT deserve to be in this title race.
oh and fuck the europa league. I know i mentioned it but if we didn't have that ball and chain strapped to us , we would not be 7 points adrift after dropping points to lightweight teams.
I also think we need to be more tactically agile. Leicester can grind out ugly 1-0 wins and they are ruthlessly compact when they defend, why can't we do the same?.I'd love to see us experiment with Jan, Vert and Wim at some point
We have a better defence than Leicester though. We also went 3 at the back against Watford, that said we play most of the time with 3 at the back during a game with our fullbacks pushing up high and Dier dropping between CB's.
Agree but with a team of average PL players, that have shown true spirit, putting two fingers up to whoever doubted them.
They will go on to achieve something very special, only they can lose it now. Clough did it with Derby as well, no one will ever achieve this. ?
