Why? So in the case we don't win the league I can say "I won the being a bit less disappointed by not having any hope"?

I didn't mean you personally I meant the Kopite stereotype built up over 25 years......of claiming the holy grail is within touch....only for reality to kick in.
 
At this point in the season there's usually a bigger spread across the top four teams, generally a gap of between 10-14 points between 1st and 4th but like Milk said 13/14 and this season only a few points in it.
 
Leicster are entering December at the top, unless they have a free fall or there best players get pinched in January they are a force to reckon with in the top four race.

I just don't think we have the players to mount a title challenge, could you imagine Henderson and Milner lifting the league :emoticon-0102-bigsm and I love Hendo!!

Pretty sure that Leicester will fall - they have some really tough fixtures coming up and the fixtures are coming thick and fast. They have a small squad as well so I can see fatigue playing a part especially since they're a counter attacking side who run the length of the field in most of their attacks.

Still refreshing to see them doing so well.

They've done very well so far but they've not really had any of the big games yet. From the big seven they've played Spurs, Man Utd and Arsenal at home. They managed to get a point against Spurs and Man Utd (fair play) but got hammered 5-2 by Arsenal. Their next four games are against the the reminder of the big seven; Chelsea (H), Everton (A), Liverpool (A) and Man City (H)

I agree on Chelsea but depends what happens with Mourinho. Got a feeling he won't survive the weekend.

I think we'll beat them because its not at Anfield.

Everton will outplay them imo but Leicester are great on the counter so could go either way.

Man City completely depends on if they can get Kompany and Aguero fit.

I wasn't saying they would lose them all, I was saying the true test is yet to come.

If Leicester come through those four games with six points or more they have to be considered challenges.

According to your post it's at Leicester?
Everton are just the kind of team Leicester will love.. a team that will attack and play football leaving space to counter... all they have to do is use pace to get through Barry and Mahrez/Vardy will be running at the back 4.
