can't see us beating Chelsea for some reason.

Mind your language...You will be relegated from this forum for such pessimism....

Top man....how do you feel about it now? I'll be honest when I saw the Stoke team I was fearful but this team just keep doing it, even when they get ragged at times...

Spellbinding support last night, @steve . Kudos.

Loving the optimism on here today, this is the best I've felt all season (decade?) but I'm trying not to get carried away.

Showboating prick Vardy was bound to have a brain fart sooner or later, which is great for us. However for me, Jamie Vardy isn't Leicester's key man. Nor is Kante or Mahrez. Leicester's key man is Claudio Ranieri, and I can't see him letting them be stupid again after the West Ham match.

They can still win games without the Vardy twat and his 39p Superdrug hair gel.

You think Sunderland away is easy this time of the season?

No, but clearly with Arsenal playing at Man City they can't both get 3 points from the game. I was talking about the mathematical possibilities, not the likelihood of what might happen.

I think that's a worse case scenario that cannot happen if we get one more win and reach 71 points. 71 points means the only teams who can overtake us is Arse & City. If City fall out of the Top 4 that means the lowest we can finish is 3rd because Man Utd can't overtake us unless there is a highly improbable swing in goal difference.

Well, if man City and Arsenal both win their game in hand they will still be 5 points behind us with 4 games to go. It's unlikely they will overtake us, but we are hoping to catch Leicester with the same number of points difference!

Not quite. Due to our superior goal difference, we need to make up 5 points on Leicester to overtake them whereas Man City and Arsenal need to make up 6 points on ourselves.

Also City and Arsenal play each other so only one of them can win all their remaining games. Their recent form doesn't suggest they will win all their games, our recent games suggests it's more likely.

I think I want city to beat Newcastle for 2 main reasons

They finish above the scum and ideally we would want Newcastle relagated before we play them

But then again can you imagine if Newcastle had to beat us? There will be gaps galore

Definitely best if the Toon are down. Benitez will have checked out, and be planning his next job, and the players are a gutless mess anyway.

Out of all the fixtures Leicester has left, Chelsea is the one I think they are most likely to win! Says it all

We want Newcastle to be on there holidays, playing some kids and half arsed running for the ball. Not up for it with 55k fans behind them and busting a gut. Agreed if they had to win we would have space. It's them needing a draw that would worry me the most!

Have you ever been to St. James' Park? If they have any chance of staying up whatsoever it will be an absolute cauldron of hate, much rather play a team of half arsed relegated mercenaries with one eye on the euros/their holidays/their next club

Forget their fans, it's the players we need to beat.

Swansea are a pretty short team aren't they? Might be an issue when under a sustained aerial assault with the typical accompanying smashes and grabs (literally). Would love it if Leicester have also finally pissed off the referees Union by abusing one of their own and getting a load of sports press morons also piling into it, and get the raw end of decisions from now on..

They are taller than Leicester on average.

Newcastle are 3 points behind Nowich I don't see them getting anything from Citeh or 'Pool. They then have Palace at home that could go either way after that they have Villa away again that could go either way if they lose or draw either they will be relegated by the time we face them. Having said that Norwich have arsenal, utd, watford & everton. Utd & Watford are home games they need at least a victory from one of them.

Yeah the likes of Ashley Williams is usually good at dealing with an aerial threat.

Shows how much I know! Maybe it's just the memory of Adebayor destroying them in the air..

Exactly. They have 3-4 players who can really deal with aerial duels, and probably an additional 3-4 who also aren't too bad at it.
