Why is that the Man United fans, more than those of other clubs.who don't have a direct rivalry with either team, seem most against Leicester winning the league?

It's odd that they are so bitter after a couple of poor seasons.
i'm guessing some of them are bitter about the 5 -3 last season

Very dirty punch by Alli in the first half. Wonder what Vardy'll be thinking especially if the FA don't take action...

I've a feeling that Leicester will lose at Old Trafford, then Spurs will lose to Chelsea.....
I think Spurs are capable of nicking a draw at Chelsea, but I think so are Leicester at United.

Argh it's only a few edgy internet forum posters online

Any United fan I know in real life (there's lots of them) all want Leicester to win the league

So Alli apparently threw a punch?

I'm expecting all those who were so ridiculously offended and outraged over Vardy's dive to be equally as outraged over this?

Yes i'm a united fan, yes i know live in leicester and yes i would prefer spurs to win the league. And yes being in the leicester end and watching us lose 5-3 and having a bloody few hundred fans around us rubbing it it when they realised we werent celebrating leicesters goals didnt help.

Perhaps having such a comparatively small and lowly club winning the Premier League highlights the deficiencies which have caused them to fail to do so?

Some United fans may think that in the grand hierarchy of football, it should be them needing to beat Leicester to win the title, not the other way round.

Not a peep from Sky either. But good Henry Winter has said something on Twitter.

The FA can't make one rule for Leicester and another for Spurs. The whole Vardy thing has opened up a can of worms.

Be interesting to see if managers comment about it.

Saw Alli's punch. Silly, silly boy

Surely in doubt for the Chelsea game anyway? There'll be a lot of pressure especially given the Vardy episode

Been waiting most of the game for a move like that from Spurs, deserved a goal. Still only 1-0

Yeah, prob an Internet thing. I haven't met any fan in real life, except Tottenham, who don't want Leicester to do it.

That could do it!
Tottenham fans would have been the same if It had been at white hart lane and you guys were playing them and losing though.

Before this match I thought Diego Costa would be on a mission to wind up Alli when Spurs play Chelsea. Seen nothing tonight to suggest this will not happen..

If i wasnt living around so many leicester fans and new leicester fans i wouldnt give a second thought to either leicester or spurs but i will havto listen to at least a year of taunts and singing every bloody day. Worst thing is at school on friday they are having a leicester blue day but my kids are not allowed to go in there united tops and some others in there liverpool kits!

Like I say. I'm genuinely not arsed. If United don't win it then as long as Liverpool or City don't either I really don't have much preference. I don't like Jamie Vardy, somewhat influenced by the game last year, and was delighted to see him get his comeuppance last week, but otherwise have no axe to grind with Leicester at all.

This constant inference from certain people that anyone (except Spurs fans) who isn't shouting from the rooftops about how much they want Leicester to win the league has something wrong with them is getting very tiresome though.

Spurs need to kill this game off and everybody at White Hart Lane knows it.

And it's 1-1!

Craig Dawson has scored at both ends!

Lloris really at fault, he didn't come for that with any sort of conviction.

Did Lloris just dive as the goal went in to try and get it disallowed?

Aw shit, hope Dier's injury isn't a problem for England.

At least with Alli's looming suspension we won't have to worry about him getting injured playing for Spurs.

Spurs have made a real mess of this game. They have played the second half as though the title has already been lost. Still time to dig a win out of this, but it has been a lackluster performance, the opposite of Leicester against Swansea. Let's not forget they are playing a side who have lost 4 of their last five games.
