I'm still singing we all f****** hate Leicester too. Hope they implode, fall out of the top 6 and get relegated next season. Hope Arse win it this season. Their football on a lesser spend than the winners the last few seasons has always been the best for a relative neutral to watch.
I was shouting for them last night. Thought when Vardy missed that tap in it wasn't going to be their night. I sincerely hope they win it. Well deserved.
7 clear now. Those foxes are fantastic. The best (non QPR) story in football is being written. Give us the ending we all want.
Sorry, not particularly relevant here, but... Out of curiosity I had a look at the 75/76 table to see whether 3pts for a win would've made any difference to the outcome. Probably done before, but I've missed it. Both QPR and Liverpool would've tied at the top on 83 points, but the Scousers had a superior GD of just one goal (35 v 34) so would've done it anyway. Back to sleep on the sofa.
Garth was waxing lyrical on final score yesterday afternoon about Arsenal and how they can still win the Prem! I hope the Foxes do this
I have nothing against Garth or Arsenal btw, just seems the pundits would favour a top five team, not all pundits but a few. It just annoys me that's all!
They've been superb all season. I think they are faltering now but are still getting the results. Can't see them being caught.
So at what point is it unacceptable? If teams start doing this at 80 mins when 1-0 is that in the spirit of the game! Maybe it gets result but personally I hate it. Last minute hanging on I understand but to do that with over 5 mins left is taking it to far. I remember when we played Leic at ours and they went 1 up in first half, the son of the red nose took every goal kick at the slowest possible pace which infuriated every one behind goal but as soon as they went ahead he was as quick as you like. To me it's about balance and fair play.
A Foxes supporting mate of mine, who a couple of posters on this board know, is currently in Florence after having watched Fiorentina v Sampdoria earlier today. He's wearing his Leicester shirt (as always on his foreign trips) and is being treated like a celebrity. This phenomenon is worldwide now, everyone loves Leicester!
It could be Southampton or palace or any other unlikely candidate. Other than one bloke I worked with a couple of years back, I don't know any Leicester fans and, until now, haven't felt anything for them either way, but this is a miracle in the making and in today's mad football economy, it's the ultimate David v Goliath. It's the victim flooring the bully, it almost defies the laws of physics. As a Rangers fan, I am used, as are we all, to footballing disappointment and the general pegging order of things, but, as a Rangers fan, I can feel how this must feel in Leicester, and delighted for them. Any other year, I'd be rooting for spurs, but this story can only end one way....can't it?
