Plus of course penalties against them aren't allowed (how many penalties have been awarded against them this season, plus they've been given about twice as many as anyone else). There was another one in the Sunderland game by Huth, probably would have been harsh to award, but they have certainly been given in the past. But the refs aren't going to spoil the party are they? Having said that, no doubt Leicester deserved to beat Sunderland.
... weve won the most games away from home scoring 7 more goals than you guys in the process (although we have played 1 game more) ... if that's negative football I'll take it every day of the week ... the only place I have seen 'negative' mentioned in reference to us is from Spurs fans (perhaps understandably in the circumstances) ... being old enough to have seen Revie's Leeds and Graham's Arsenal I can safely say we are nothing like either of them ...
Pretty selective with your words there fella ! No mention of the two we could of been awarded , one blatant on Okizaki and another that would of been fortuitous with the handball...... but that's football and no whinges from us , unlike erm.... ah , won't bother .
... but you conveniently skip over the two we weren't given? ... Yedlin on Okazaki and Kaboul blocking Mahrez's shot with his arm whilst turning his back ... the Sunderland keeper made 3 or 4 stops that could have resulted in goals ... Schmeichel made one save (good though it was)... Personally I still think you have a chance ... and I've been expecting a hiccup from us in every one of the last 5 games ... but we have some strong, resolute characters and are very dangerous going forward ... West Ham at home will be tough ... as will Stoke \way for you ... both got very dangerous players ... The fat lady certainly aint singing yet as far as I'm concerned ...
It's the whole season that matters not the first few matches. Even if we assume causality rather than randomness (and we were the better team in all four matches so I'm biased towards the latter) then your post essentially assumes that changing something pre-season that would have affected the results of those matches would have no effect at all on the other 34. I'm not sure how that can be true.
Your worst 5 match streak all year got you 6 points. Our best one got us 15. The other way around is the same. So while you are massive favourites its not a done deal.
... completely agree ... the footballing gods can be fickle ... if I look at it rationally we have 3 home games against teams we have beaten away ... plus 2 away games to teams that we beat and drew against ... so if we matched those results we'd get a further 13 points ... sounds easy? ... the reality is that teams are now giving us far more respect and are not leaving themselves open to our favoured counter attacking style ... that said you still have to beat us and we don't lose easily ... plus we tend to bounce back from a loss with a win ... ... in any other season I'd be rooting for you boys to upset the established order ... you'll understand why i won't be this one
... wouldn't agree ... but that's football ... also thought Alli's goal had more than a suspicion of offside .... Manrez's on the other hand ... sublime ...
I thought we looked very comfortable and good value for our lead. Then we dozed off and have a silly goal away.
I disagree with the popular sentiment on here that we were the better team. The Leicester game was pretty evenly matched, the United game we looked sluggish and rusty, rarely troubled them at the back and only seemed 'better' because they were somehow even worse. Against Everton we were definitely better and against Stoke I'm not willing to accept being the better side for 60 minutes if the last 30 are a shocking display of tactical ineptitude miscarried by worryingly tired legs. If those 4 results had been scattered throughout the season, I'd be more inclined to agree with you. But if at the end of the season, 30-40% of your disappointing results all happened to be in a cluster during one period of time, it would be counter-intuitive not to investigate the possible causalities behind that cluster.

It`s looking like Leicester`s league now, we have to give them credit, they have found a style that gets results but their football does not befit that of champions. It will be a poor advertisement for English football when they eventually win it. Who would have thought a team with 8 defenders and a couple of greyhounds could win the PL, staggering, and the most one-off of all one-off seasons.
Ha ha but be rude not to convey LCFC's sincere thanks for smashing United and guaranteeing us champions league football next season !
Not quite. You could lose all of your games and Liverpool and City could win European silverware. Probably not though, eh?
