I'm more concerned about us dropping out of the top 4 other than us not winning it! This week showed we aren't good enough, which is fine with me...I just can't accept the goons winning it!!!

People have been saying that all season and it is yet to happen and we have proven over the last two games we are incapable of taking advantage.

If past form was a perfect predictor of the future then the table would be the same every season. Form varies especially as the pressure increases. You may not believe in our team but I do.

I said on wednesday that whoever came out on top at the end of the week would win the league. I'm sticking by that.
Unreal shithousery by Leicester.
Honestly i wish it was Man City on top of the table. Leicester being top and West Ham being one off a champions league spot really dilutes our achievements this season for me.
Next season I can't see us achieving top 4 again, as ridiculous as it sounds even if we finished as champions i still wouldn't be able to see us finishing in the top 4. Man City will be back with Pep, Chelsea's mutiny is over and they're firmly back in the fold, Mourinho will have Utd there or there abouts, it'll be interesting to see what Klopp does with Liverpool this summer and Arsenal...they are our only chance of finishing in the top 4. Leicester will be back in their box next season IMO.
Can't believe I find myself incredibly disappointed by our 2-2 draw with Arsenal today which still leaves us 2nd with 3 points breathing room.

Yeah who cares, as we have seen, form can change in a blink of an eye. Last 3 games they have Everton, Chelsea and Utd. All it takes is for us to be in touching distance still, and 3 draws, 3 loses, or a combination of both when winning the leagues in sight, against difficult opposition.
Unlikely we will win the league, but to be so dismissive as people are, when we are still 2nd, is Obsurd.

Factor in we play around 25% derbies which goes against London teams (Spammers, Palace, Goons, Chelskum, 'Watford'). You can see why when we have the opportunity like we had past week we play two demanding derbies. We lack two serious 'make the difference players, which we have to rectify for next season, please do not talk sbout Clint and Pritch. They may be ok but not what I am talking about.

It's not that I don't believe in them, they don't believe in themselves, if they did today would not have happened.

Last week i believed, this week i am bought right back down to earth, the life of a spurs fan, why oh why do we do it to ourselves.
I don't like the way they play - mainly route 1, but it's bloody effective and they've been hugely consistent. I personally think our style of football deserves to win over theirs but they're the ones ahead. They're more efficient than us in front of goal and I think that's the difference...

They done it to us at home we had most of the ball and chances but could not score, but they did and deserve the title imo.

why can't that be applied to clint and pritch then?
Not believing in our team is not the same as not supporting our team.
Do I believe this side can win the league? No, to be honest I don't think we'll end up 'that' close to who eventually wins it
I don't believe we have it in us to nab the Europa either. When the pressure is turned up, 9 times out of 10 we don't deliver. We are coughing and spluttering TEN games out from the finish! The run in hasn't really started and we are showing a lack of bottle ( I don't have a problem with it. None of our side have ever won anything at the highest level and are generally very young players )
All of that doesn't take away from my total support for the side though. I'll support them every time they take to the pitch no matter what's happening.

Leicester deserve to be top. Simple.
Our style of play is far better and what I would call 'football'. The problem is playing a high line, possession based approach means that there's very little space to attack as the opposition sit deep. Put marhez in our team and he'd have no bloody space and be nowhere near as effective.
Leicester sit deep and counter quickly which means they have less time to pick the right passes but far more space to do it. Which is working for them. I don't know why so many are against it

Pritch might turn out to be a class player. I can see the arguments against Clint though. He's lack of touch and technique suggests he probably won't be our version of Mahrez!
