I predict the hate-filled, backward bigots will beat the hate-filled, backward bigots.

Agreed.

How about on the Democrats side?

If there was even a modicum of doubt over the amount of luck Leicester are having this season, the ball running along the length of the goal line and not resulting in a goal should end it right there.

they'll probably score the winner off bilic's backside at this rate

Extra time at Hampden

And that man has put Leicester in front.

That man who has pulled level with the man who I have a bet on to be top scorer

More nerves on show at Hampden - Celtic's lack of composure shooting long and short range, for example - than Leicester have displayed the whole season.

Maybe but you don't win leagues by luck, the league always goes to the best football team.

Vardy must start for England, just so clinical on the counter attack.

Definitely. Let's hope both Vardy and Kane carry their form on into the Euros!

Throw in a match fit Sturridge and that's an attack with real promise for England, one of the best for quite a while.

Agreed but double the amount of pens as any other team, not being in Europe and out of both cups early plus least amount of injuries has probably helped as well.

And that Hodgson picks them ahead of Rooney...

I really want Leicester to win the title but boy are they making this 'race' boring. They've just been relentless ever since they drew with West Brom and Spurs and Arsenal missed the chance to capitalise by both losing.

I mean Leicester never even trail in games now. They score the first goal, usually pretty early in the 1st half, then shut up shop and keep a clean sheet. Give us a bit of drama lads, I'm struggling to stay awake here.

My word, this really is a match of two halves.

It works for them and I think it will work again today

Luck can give you a massive leg-up though - just look at their injury list and their fixture list since October. Also loads of penalties, as Steve has pointed out as well.

A mate of mine did make me laugh though. He said the only way you could really rationalise them going from barely escaping relegation one year to winning the league title the next year was the caretaker cleaning out the toilets at the king power stadium and finding a big switch on the wall that said "shit" and "very good" and realising it was still set on "shit" last season, so he flicked it over to "very good"

Did I mention I have a strange sense of humour ?

Rogic forgets where he is playing and for whom and actually shoots on target and scores for Celtic.

Well in recent times the league has always been won by a team playing in Europe that same season, so that doesn't exactly explain Leicesters run. Of course one game a week help. I think more than all those reasons a settled, focused and disciplined team will always win you titles and that more than anything sets Leicester apart from the rest.

If they squeak the title by a point you MIGHT have a case but if they win it by 7-10 theres no complaints.

I don't know what the fixture list since October has to do with it? Why October? Fixture lists are the same for all 20 teams.

Cups are won with luck. Lucky draws, last minute winners, unfair dismissal etc. Leagues are won by the best side

Usually because they've had squads big enough to cope with any major injuries and the extra games. Leicester are going to have to try and convince more than a few players to sign over the summer because they'll have four competitions to contend with.
