That's right.

Spurs play first of the two in the next matchweek but Leicester play first in the next three because they're scheduled in the early Sunday afternoon slot and Spurs either play late on Sunday or on Monday night.


15/8 on, according to Jeff Stelling.

....And not forgetting their run of form from near certain relegation last season.
That is some run they are on.

Spurs finishing a worthy 2nd is ok by me.

Since 4 April 2015:

I think what we're seeing with Leicester at the moment is what happens when momentum feeds the belief of a squad of players at a football club.

They got a large injection of it when they stayed up despite everyone forecasting the contrary, they got some more when Jamie Vardy went on his record consecutive scoring streak last year, and they're continuing to get it by successfully clearing every obstacle people forecast them to stumble on - the run of games between Christmas and New Year, the sequence of matches against Spurs, Man City and Arsenal, and the title clinching games they're playing now.

Oh don't get me wrong, what Clough achieved was extremely unbelievable, and a massive testament to him, but that was done in an era, where such things were at least feasible (winning the league more so than the European Cup), Leicester winning this league title, in an era of the "super clubs", all backed by billionaires, is quite something, as they really shouldn't be up there at all, but somehow they are, and they fully deserve to be, and would be very worthy winners.

I think what we should do (i'm a Villa fan) is knock this season on the head and just give everyone left to play 3 points

I'm watching us come out of the tunnel and i'm thinking what a waste of time for the players to have to get changed

Claudio ups the target from the Europa league to champions league qualification now

I agree, Cloughs, achievement was, fantastic, but, Ranieri, is doing sonething, even more, extraordinary, he is a, really good, manager, i, would, say!

I'm impressed he can stop laughing long enough to give an interview. He must have heavy weights in his pockets stop himself floating off into the clouds.

They still keep mentioning their so called "tough" finish .

Man United are inconsistent and are pretty poor

Everton are pretty poor and the table doesn't lie

Chelsea will have long switched off before the end as they are unlikely to even qualify for the Europa league

Aye, and I was one of them.
Why Newcastle didn't employ Nigel Pearson to get them out of trouble I'll never know.

The tables have very much turned for him since his time as the Greek national team head coach!

Absolutely, I thought he was the obvious man for the job, been there and got the T-shirt hasn't he. Is there any truth to the rumour I was told last week that Pearson was heading for Coventry?

Classic Pardew. A regular feature of his time at Newcastle.

A top 3 finish would be perfect for me. The title would be a wonderful bonus, but i've said for months i'd be happy with top 3 and i still would be.

No one is buying that

Coventry??

That would be a huge step down, and a bit of a waste of his talents, with all due respect to them.

Not really. He'd be going back to where he started with Leicester when bringing them up. He knows how to win promotion, and might prefer that to the Newcastle job, although if they get relegated he might well go to them instead.

He would be best waiting a bit longer, and seeing what happens with Garde at Villa, as I have my doubts that he will be there next season.

surprised no one has hired pearson. very good manager. he would've been a nice fit at newcastle

Perhaps you are right, but as far as I know he hasn't been employed in football management for going on a year now, that is what I would call a waste of talent.

The fact he's borderline nuts is probably counting against him.

This Swansea v villa game is a struggle but didn't expect anything else

I thought that was an unspoken requirement; maybe his mistake was to make it public knowledge

I think Pearson will end up at Derby or Forest in the summer. Or maybe Middlesbrough if Karanka walks.

Doesn't bother me either way really. If the search function actually worked on this bloody forum I could easily prove it, but there you go.
