I'm gonna say it, I think we're going to win it. Chelsea played well today, Manu will beat them imho, Leicester will find it tough against the swans without Vardy, they might even lose that one. Then Everton who knows? Definitely see Leicester losing 2 games, hard as that is to believe considering how hard to beat they've been all season.

We need to be level or ahead of them before the last game of the season, even then we face our bogey side of recent years and they are fighting for survival.

We've only struggled against them at home. Won our last two at St. James' Park.

I think ultimately we will close the gap from 5 to maybe 2 points, but that's about it, can't see Leicester dropping the points we need to over take them, even without vardy for two games.

I've thought it for a while but if we win our games I think we'll win it. They look shaky and will drop points over the 4 games. 80 points will do it - my concern is we don't get to that mark.

I'm not usually one to get irritated by other clubs but those ****s at Stamford Bridge should be told to shut their fucking gobs about this wanting leicester to win. Surely they should be fucking locked up for their behaviour.

If those counts lose against us.... they will throw away the Leicester game and hand them the win.

I say it nicely, but I think this thread needs to be locked to be honest. The subject is a) done with, we've got to the crunch in contention and b) has been exhausted.

There's no speculation to be had anymore about it. We need to win now, they need to slip up now. We might win the title, we might not. In all honesty the chances of us doing it are on the slimmer side of the odds, but we just have to wait and see what happens.

The subject is done? Until Leicester are assured of the title it's not done. There are still a few twists left this season. Let people discuss it however they want to until then.

I think today's game is pivotal, Leicester win and it's over as Everton are finished for the season and won't give a fuck and if we are behind going into the last game then judging by hazards comments on motd last night then they will roll right over........classless wankers!!

Hazard has just said on MOTD that the Chelsea players want Leicester to win it. That can't be allowed can it!


Well hazard certainly didn't want Chelsea to win it with his attitude and performances this season.
The Chelsea players are just trying to score browny points with their idiot fans saying they want Leicester to win the league imo

Swansea may or may not give them a game Manchester Utd will beat them Everton will take heart from their second half performance yesterday and won't accept defeat and they won't beat Chelsea.

The subject is far from done. There are 12 points to play for and we're 5 behind. Their final three games are damn tough fixtures.

Swansea you'd fully expect Leicester to get the win but Swansea's away record at decent sides is not too shabby at all and without Vardy, I still think is a challenge for Leicester.

United are desperate for top four and LvG is under massive pressure. United's defence is very strong and at OT, are tough for anybody. They matched us very well for an hour at WHL. I'd be amazed if Leicester get out of OT with 3 points.

Everton are another under huge pressure but possess a lot of quality. They had United massively on the rack yesterday for long periods. A lot depends on which Everton shows up here but they're more than capable of taking points away.

Chelsea away, regardless of the crap they come out with, is hard work. Their form is much improved and they'll be seriously tough opponents for us and Leicester. There's no way they'll want to sign the season off with a home defeat and the trophy handed over at Stamford Bridge - not a chance.



I genuinely think there are a few twists and turns to come yet. Spurs need to focus on themselves - take a minimum 10 points from 12 and make Leicester earn it. If we take 12 from 12, I'd be shocked if we aren't champions.

I dont care what people on here say about us being bitter or paranoid. The fact that a lot of players and managers are openly stating that they want Leicester to win it is a disgrace especially as the people in question still have to play Leicester. Keep your opinions to yourself until after the game FFS. How would Swansea feel if they were battling relegation and we had nothing to play for and Poch came out and said that he hopes their main rivals survive where as luck would have it we are playing them next?

The way they are justifying it is also a load of bollocks, again that little hobbit Hazard said last night he wants Leicester to win it because "they deserve it". They will only deserve if after 38 contested games they come out with the most points.

We are wandering into match fixing territory honestly, the FA & PL should be all over these comments given the say Chelsea have in the title race. It's outrageous what they are saying out loud.

Chelsea are just showing themselves to be the pathetic, overpaid mercenaries that they are. I hope we tear them a new one at the Bridge.
