If Spurs lose today then in theory Leicester could win it next weekend.

This is the first time for a while when Leicester have played before Spurs. Leicester answered every question Spurs asked of them. Now we will see what Spurs are made of.

There's a risk that some people will only think that Leicester won the league because all the customary big teams played below their best that season.

BBC News yesterday was preparing the narrative: it will be one of the great sporting achievements/surprises of all time.
First XI yes, I think only Ulloa's mum would be in the queue to sign him. Should also say Ranieri will hopefully be given credit because he has been brilliant for the whole season, great tactics and substitutions.. Quote:
No not just this but the extraordinary luck of going through the season with very little injuries.

At the bottom, Norwich v Sunderland next week is absolutely massive. |

If Spurs lose today, the most points they can get is 77, which Leicester would surpass with two more wins. |

Sounds like LVG has a new tactic in his attempts to ensure every game is 0-0.....don't even bother turning up!

The team being crowned Champions, and the teams being relegated could very well be sorted out well before the end of the season, so the only thing that could be of interest going into the final days might be who finishes fourth, and even that could be done and dusted if United don't keep on winning.
I can't quite remember a season when nothing of real importance was on the line going into the final two or three games. Credit to Leicester today, they did what all Champion teams do, go to a tough away ground, and come away with all three points. |

Got to say, Well done Leicester.
Looks like Claudio Ranieri and Leicester found each other just at the right time. Can't help thinking though how different things would have been for Leicester if Ranieri had not been available and they had picked a manager such as Rodgers, Moyes, Redknapp, Monk etc., |

Nothing flukey about Leicester.
Just unfashionable to see a team without big names control matches so effectively. What has helped is the complete ineptitude of the so-called 'big' clubs. |

That's right and many leicester fans placed bets on them winning the league at those odds. quite a few people are looking at payouts of around £250k.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and suggest that Mahrez is inching towards Suarez/Messi level. Honestly his dribbling ability and balance is almost as good as their's are.
He's only just turned 25, Messi and Suarez are both 30 next year. You could be looking at a potential Ballon d'Or winner if he joins Barca/Real. |

He didn't mean on the North Circular. |

I hope history is kind to Leicester and this title is isn't regarded as a fluke.
They are actually a really good side, first XI anyway. |

Will this delay have more of an impact on Spurs? 30 minutes more for them to wait till they can attempt to claw back Leicester. Quote:
