They must win the league now,, this was a pressure game, everyone had already played, its on the TV, everyone talking about the pressure, and everyone talking about Benitez and the impact of a new manager and they didnt crumble, brilliant stuff again from Leicester

Its definitely just a two horse race now any Tottenham slip ups and it's probably a one horse

Interesting stat there.
If they fail to win the title it will be the first team not to win being top and 5 points clear at Easter. (I think that's what he said) So history being made either way

Absolutely massive 3 points Newcastle were far more solid than recent. I reckon they'll be fine this year
The dream continues. Loving every second of it!! |

Come on Leicester, come on! Keep it going. In common with many bona fides neutrals I'd like to see them win the league more than anything. I have an ominous feeling that there's going to be a late twist in this years PL though. Although I'll love it if I'm wrong about that. They're getting closer.

The two fittest teams in the PL are 1st and 2nd. Maybe that's the secret........Fitness, Fitness, Fitness. |

They are picking up clean sheets now which was an "issue" earlier in the season...
I notice Leicester play West Ham soon - be interesting to see if that is before or after the potential West Ham v Man U Cup replay... |

Well done Leicester I'm an Everton fan, and we face Leicester at the KP in there final home game.
If us having nothing to play for I'd probably cheer on Leicester. |

Don't worry, nobody would accuse you of supporting the team when they're doing well.

I am coming round to that way of thinking. Difficult to see any team below Spurs challenging for the title now. None of the usual suspects have shown this season they are capable of putting a run together, not Arsenal, not City, not United, not Liverpool. While statistically they could do it, in reality this has increasingly become a two horse race.
I also wouldn't rule out West Ham getting a CL spot. And they have a chance with the FA Cup as well. |

Been hearing on various Radio Channels, if Leicester get in the UCL they would be in 4th pot, but if they win the league they go in pot 1

However bear in mind the likes of Real Madrid would be pot two and the likes of borussia Dortmund pot three. So I don't think the seeding would matter as they have no real European history. The shake up is good but I can see them struggling in the champions league but they shouldn't care about that |

4 wins out of 8 should do it for Leicester now you'd think

It would be illogical for the winners of the PL not to be in pot 1

Yep, unless something drastic happens it's between the top two now.
