I can't be bothered to think of permutations. Could transpire Leicester lose all their games and we lose all ours. Unlikely but even trying to pick results for an accumulator is like the lottery.
we have 7 days between each game to go oscillate between flights of fancy and despair.The last time iw as obsessing with result permutations was under the redknapp era.
Now I have calmed down I take your point. Still think refs need to be consistent and only then will the message get across. At the moment we are both where we deserve to be on merit and come the end whoever wins will deserve it.I thought you were alright, but it seems I was wrong. The 'ref' gifted you a thoroughly undeserved point. What's wrong with you?
Middle distance running and football are not comparable.Now I have calmed down I take your point. Still think refs need to be consistent and only then will the message get across. At the moment we are both where we deserve to be on merit and come the end whoever wins will deserve it.
I congratulate you on playing top class football and giving it one heck of a challenge. If we are truly deserving of the title we will hold on and if not we won't but either way we won't bottle it. It will be the best team who wins it. TYo say we will bottle it takes away your achievement should you win it. When Seb Coe closed in on Ovett in the 80's on the home straight to take gold no one said Ovett bottled it - it was just Seb was better and should you over take us then the same can be said about Spurs - just better than Leicester.
If we hold on then we will be better.
If we take 8 points from those last 5 games and you take 15 and win on GD that is not bottle. Title teams will often have a spell with 2 wins, 2 draws and loss in a 5 game spell especially with tough fixtures. It clearly isn't bottle if that happens but unbelievable finish by the team winning several on the bounce.Middle distance running and football are not comparable.
If you lose a 8 point lead in the final 5 games, it's a bottle.
Both teams deserve to win the League, unfortunately, only one can.
Vardy's scouse goal, Mahrez at Man City to name but a few. Only dive for a penalty was last week, all the others were genuine. If you can pick one out that wasn't feel free to state it because I can't.Bottom line is since a wonderful first 2/3rds of season Leicester are now under microscope in media and have been found out
Every time Leicester have been on TV the last 6 weeks there is always hours of media discussion afterwards for wrong reasons. Be it the repeated handball issue, referees, corners wrestling, diving for penalties, this is what happens at Leicester every week while the fans hit the cardboard and can't believe they are top.
After our games they are replaying goals, dream passes, movement, celebrations, there is no controversy, no reliance on pushing the rules.
Leicester may still win but their fairy tale has more ugly stepsisters than Cinderellas
Sorry, DadLet's just enjoy it for what it is, just so happy to see us dominating an playing the way that we do. If we can keep on beating those in front of us, who knows where it'll take us. Let's not get ahead ourselves and see where we are come May!
Why can't we have a multi option for like, agree and funny? Because I want to do all three on this bad boy!!Bottom line is since a wonderful first 2/3rds of season Leicester are now under microscope in media and have been found out

Looks like the FA have decided to try and win the league for you w
Have to take my hat off you to tonight. I knew you would destroy Stoke and you did. Looks like your title now. Pity the FA and ref has had such an impact to what was otherwise a fantastic two horse race. I just hope the season is remembered (outside of north London) for the right reasons and not the season the FA decided who won the league. To all those having a go at our style of play - football is a points game and we have done fantastic to get where we are. Spurs play fantastic and attractive football and have done fantastic to be where they are. The FA have stuck their nose in along with a cheating ref this weekend to influence what was a brilliant season. Sky and the FA have what they want which is a big club winning the league rather than little old Leicester.
Congratulations to you guys and wish you well in the CL next season.
Well done to the ref and FA also. If it wasn't for them who knows who would have ended up winners.
Nothing you can say about style of play or tactics etc will take away the FA and ref have decided what happens this season.
Surrendering an 8 point lead in the final 5 games is a bottle. This isn't negotiable.If we take 8 points from those last 5 games and you take 15 and win on GD that is not bottle. Title teams will often have a spell with 2 wins, 2 draws and loss in a 5 game spell especially with tough fixtures. It clearly isn't bottle if that happens but unbelievable finish by the team winning several on the bounce.
Good post. I am sure like us you are trying to cope with the wait each week. Hence the forums take up our time. Foxes Talk is the worst for mods. Last year you couldn't breath a word against Pearson without being banned. Mods run the forums and if you disagree with their view they ban you. This forum is by far the best I have been on.oldschool
If you came on here, hoping for some enlightened, bias free football discussion with your 'fellow football supporter' well then my friend...
This place is as partisan as they come, and I fucking love it for it.
Try COYS (full of cockwombles who will lick your arse then ban you for life for using the word 'bullshit''.
For an almost in between COYS and TFC experience, try spurs community. Again full of cockwombles and the mods are power hungry but not QUITE as trigger happy on the ban button, and they do pretend to like outsiders.
I blame myself.This forum is by far the best I have been on.
I hit disagree on this one then undone it for the lulzAwwww thanks Gazza
Yes let's be honest it's a great post
