The Race to the Title

Leicester's final 3 games not so hard. 2 games against bumbling manure and Everton, and the guaranteed 3 pts against Chelsea. No way Chelsea beat Leicester so that they help either Arsenal or us win the trophy. Imagine the reaction of Chelsea fans. It just won't happen.

So we're guaranteed 3 points against Chelsea and United too?
Why would that be? Chelsea would be so motivated to beat us so that they help Leicester City win.

There's a few players at Leicester who are either in the form of their lives or will go on to show they are very special players.
We all expected them to drop away but they've stepped up every time.

Everton have only lost twice away all season. Man United may still be fighting for top 4. Chelsea players may be wanting to impress Conte! (doubtful)
But yeah I still don't see Leicester dropping 7 points in the last 6 unless they get beat by Sunderland this weekend in which case 4 points to lose in 5 sounds a lot more realistic.

I can see us having to score more goals than our opponents in many matches, otherwise title chances are all over.

Chelsea fans might be motivated but for a lot of their players it wont matter which of us win the league.

Banging on Sunderland to score past the lucky foxes is abit asking too much TBH.. Let's just hope big Sam can prevent them from scoring, I'll be happy with that..

Defoe hatrick. With Mahrez, Vardy and Kasper getting red cards for violent conduct.
Not much to ask.
Whilst it does seem increasingly unlikely, there remains a huge potential for Leicester to drop enough points to give us a shot. With the exception of Swansea at home, none of their games look particularly straightforward and at least half of them look very tricky indeed. That's not to say we don't have difficult matches also (although in my view we have the slightly kinder run-in from this point onward) but I believe if we can somehow win the majority of our matches then we will have an excellent chance of winning the league. Can we win all or the majority of our remaining 6 matches? Who knows..at least 4, and possibly 5 of those are very winnable. And of course it's not as if we've never won 6 consecutive Premier League matches is it?

Hush on you. We just drew away to Liverpool, we are supposed to post all kinds of reasons for why it's so certainly almost over now.

Reeks of conspiracy. Dark horse club comes out of nowhere to win it while established winners crumble before them. The PL, the FA and the Illuminati had this all worked out to maintain the EPL as "world's best league", with the complicity of media, referees, dopers et al. They didn't tell Spurs because we're neither the dark horse nor the establishment, but the unexpected fly in the ointment. Need to win this to prove everyone wrong, and right.

Maybe I'm a dinosaur, but I would much rather the Premiership champions were known and respected for playing good football, rather than just doing anything they can to get the three points at any cost, winning ugly.
It's pretty widely acknowledged that although Leicester may well become champions, they are far from being a wonderful advert for English football.
The way my brain works, there's winning pretty and there's winning ugly and I know which I'd prefer, but each to his own.

not sure it matters what we do to be honest. the officials have clearly decided the title should be Leicester's as they're doing everything they can to ensure it happens. maybe someone's had a word about making the league more appealing to the global audience or something but given the last month, I don't think they'd be allowed to drop points even if they had 2 players and 9 dustbins out there.
may sound bitter but hey, the last few games have reminded me of fulop all over again.
