I still think we will win the league

If we are within seven points come the last 3 games we have a chance. Leicester then run into the rags, Everton and Chelsea and with that being squeaky bum time I could see them losing all 3 of those.

I'm sorry but with Danny Simpson, Drinkwater, villa reject Albrighton, Stoke rejected Huth I just can't see them not slipping up when it comes to the business end of the season. It's whether we can maintain our own form to pip them is the bigger question.

I tell you what they've been far far better than their counter parts this season. Plenty of heart, drive and skill. I just can't see those players dropping form. We need them to pick up some injuries like the rest of the teams to give us any chance of catching up.

Or the 11 points they have accumulated as a result of the penalties they have been awarded this season (I haven't counted all 10) and not forgetting the penalty we weren't awarded at their place which could have resulted in a 6 point swing in our favour.

They are flattering to deceive, their football is basic and they are very reliant on a couple of players, Vardy and Mahrez.

Not saying they won't win it and I would have them favourites purely by dint of the points advantage, but it is a long way from being over if we can show our true quality. That however is the big question mark.
 
I think we will win the league if we win the next 2 games (and against a poor norwich and poor man united, at home, after they've played lvierpool 2 games before, we fucking should)

A also think we will finish above Leicester whether we win the next 2 or not, unless champions league complicates things too much (maybe that should go for my thought in regards to winning the league as well)

We were well beaten by them at our place, but I noticed when Aguero scored to make it 1-3 that during the last 10 minutes or so they had a distinctly wobbly period. Schmeichel miffed a back pass and Kun had a chance, which he didn't take, to make it 2-3 just a minute or two after we scored our goal. There were other signs of a distinct lack of composure and I suspect that if they don't end up winning the league this will be their downfall. It's all being well being the underdogs and everybody's favourite second team, but the point will come, and come soon, where they are expected to win every game to the point that the pressure begins to take its toll. The dippers couldn't handle the pressure either, two years ago.

We've been there and done that. We need to keep the pressure on - we are used to title run-ins, Leicester are not.

I was listening to radio 2 in the car this afternoon. Think it might have been Jeremy vine. Anyway, the topic under discussion was will Leicester bottle it. They invited a Leicester fan on who had put £20 on at £5000/1 but had checked out of the bet at £29,000. So a Bbc sports correspondent Mike Parry?? Got ripped into him in a tong in cheek kind of way. 'You have betrayed the club' 'the Leicester squad will smell your fear and doubt and will implode' it was very funny. What made it even funnier was the fan thought he was being serious and got more and more angry. It ended when Parry called him a traitor to his class and a Reaganite Capitalist. I AM NOT A BLOODY CATIPALIST was the shouted response..... I nearly crashed the car. Leicester fans, you got to love em.

if it was only between us and Leicester, then one way or another we might have a chance however slim - but there's also Spurs & the Arse, so it's a little bit more complicated for us to arrive at the top of the heap this year, but it's possible if we can start performing at our upper range and those above us suffer injuries, bad refereeing (and Leicester seem to be getting the benefit of decisions in games I've seen them playing) and poor results to drop points.

I don't think we have better than a 35% chance as things stand.
