Great video interview halfway down the page with Hugo.

He's right although the tide is turning a little.

Other teams' fans really should be rooting for us though, the English ones at least. What's better for England the Euros - Kane, Alli, Dier, Walker and Rose delighted off the back of a title winning campaign or the same but for Vardy?

As Gaz points out above, great video interview with Hugo.

He comes across so well; eloquent English, 'not a dreamer', modest but ambitious, and says just the right thing about Leicester. He says it's up to us to take advantage if they drop points, but if they don't they'll fully deserve the title. That's not only true but can't be spun by the media in any negative way. He also talks about this Season not being a one-off and how we have to look forward as a club and players to next Season.

Ian Wright wants us to win.

Hugo's interview was the most soporific thing I've heard all day, bless him, but maybe I'm tired.

It's going to be tough.. Chelsea I'm pretty sure are going to hand it on a plate to LC. The whole stadium will be supporting LC last game of the season. Can't blame them I guess.

I can't see Swansea going out their way to stop them.

Man U could get something.

Everton are a shambles.

Swansea could get something, you never know at this stage. The pressure is mounting on Leicester.

Man U could definitely do them at home, especially with a European spot up for grabs.

But I agree, Everton are a joke of a side now. Maybe they've got something to prove though (fingers crossed)?

As for the plastic club on the last day, surely the players have some pride. They don't give a damn about what the fans want, they're playing for themselves. And I bet in private at least, they would see us as the worthy champions, and not some ugly, pumped up Championship side.

Well here's hoping anyway!

Eden Hazard said he wants Leicester to win the league and will do everything to stop Tottenham. So I think they will throw that game.

The only hope I have for that game is that it could be Terry's last prem game. Surely he wouldn't want to say farewell with a loss.

I think Swansea did go out their way in the end.. But to help LC!!
Going to be so so tough now

Hazard is quite welcome to take sides if he had played us both but having a influence on the two up and coming games. Sounds like he implied he will be playing for LC. Surely something needs to be done about this, with the Premier League title at stake isn't he bringing the game into disrepute !!!

I want us to be hated over the next few years; hated for always getting the best young players, hated for benefiting from 'dodgy' refereeing decisions, hated for having the best stadium with the best atmosphere etc
I'm sick of being, cuddly, unthreatening, underachieving Spurs.

I think it's the fact that Leicester are an anomaly for various reasons, not taken seriously, not a big team for home crowds to get up to face, everyone played to their strengths for 3 quarters of the season.

Yet teams, fans and now pundits know we are here to stay, where as even if Leicester were to sign some top players in the summer, I doubt they will finish top 5.

People tend to gloss over the bad elements of the "fairytale"
