I still think we will win the league

[coleridge]

I really don't see us winning it and right now if you offered me 2nd place, a derby win and a CL semi I'd snatch your arm off. The only way to approach the rest of the season is to take one game at a time, no point dwelling on past defeats or the win over Villa, it will mean nothing if we don't beat Norwich.

Absolutely and I'd take third right now.

Still don't think we are out of it. Look at Spurs only got 1 points from two games this week. Anything can happen.

Exactly the point. Leicester have yet to have a wobble. IMO they would need to lose two in a row with us winning within the next 4/5 games for us to have a realistic shout.Also they have a couple of key players in particular that Algerian chap who are just not replaceable. A wobble and key injuries opens up a whole new ball game. However, the biggest problem will be our own position and the very big "IF" concerning us been able to finish on 75-78 points ??

75 points = P10 W8 D1 L1

78 points = P 10 W9 D1 L0

Even 75 points would require a vast improvement in form and consistency.

Things can change quickly. We were down and out in 2012 with the rags beating Everton... but then they drew the game and the momentum swung. If we had have beaten Liverpool, this week would have been a gain on Leicester. We're 10pts back with a game in hand. We could have been 7 back with a game in hand and they would have been wary of us. The positive aspect is that we're far enough behind to go unwatched to some extent. That game in hand gives us a card up our sleeves and most people just look at us being 10pts back. Long way to go. If we're within 5pts with 5 games to go then I wouldn't write us off.

In a perverse way I also think we need Spurs to win their next couple of games as they're the main team that Leicester can feel breathing down their necks at the moment. I think Leicester's next 4 games are make or break. Newcastle & Southampton at home, Palace and Sunderland away. If they take 9+ points from them I expect they will widen their lead and it will take a lot of pressure off.

I know many have been saying for sometime that Leicesters bubble will burst but i firmly believe it will. I can see them getting 3 points against Newcastle but after that only 11 points from their remaining games.
We still have an outside chance If we can win eight + draw one. If not then I see Spurs winning it.

I think we will get 2nd behind leicester , so long as spurs dont win it, I dont mind, just think if they win it!! it will be as bad as the dippers winning it

Only if the others slip up.

Think Leicester will get 8 in that period - will mean we are 6 behind still but with a game in hand.

They will beat Newcastle, draw with Southampton and Palace and beat Sunderland - 8 points from those games whereas we have Norwich, Shite, Bournemouth and WBA. If we win all four we will be six behind with a game in hand.
