Vardy spent most of last season bombing forward on counter attacks. He's spent most of this season on the defenders shoulder waiting for a counter attack. He's not going to run for no reason.

Is that actually true? Per game on average?

You've missed off the second part of that sentence...

Imagine if they got caught doing something last season and lose the title and Arsenal getting it after we got murdered by a side already on vacation.
Don't think I could handle that. It's so spursy it probably gonna happen to
Surely all the results against Leicester would have to be voided.

As much as I'd like to see them relegated, I'd also like to see them end their Premier League goal drought in style at home to Liverpool in 2 weeks!
I keep remembering a segment on SkySports News last season around January when they were interviewing locals about the possibility of Leicester winning the league and one fan (a fella comfortably in his 40s) said they were now 'a big club', and specifically stated that they were "no longer one of the smaller clubs" (I presume he meant the likes of West Brom, Swansea, Watford, as they were their peers at the start of last season). Whenever people say that Leicester fans will still be able to look back on last season fondly even if they go down this season I think of that particular fan and others like him. He thought last season was not a freak (certainly not to the extent that its been shown to be) but instead the beginning of a new era for the club - a watershed moment rather than the pinnacle. I think of how he must have had high expectations for this season and how he thought the days of relegation battles were behind them for the foreseeable future. I imagine how he will feel if they start next season away to Barnsley. I picture a disgruntled gentleman, who thought he was set for years at the summit, but as he sits there on the terrace of Oakwell contemplating fixtures at Burton and Preston the 2016 season just feels like a dream; a fading memory that will sound like the ramblings of a madman when he tells his grandkids about it. At that point the title win will stop inspiring him to believe anything is possible, and will instead become evidence of how things will always be the same for Leicester. He shall know that while he was fortunate to witness the club's greatest moment, that moment has already long gone. Normality has returned, and the malaise of mediocrity with it.
When I look at the trouble Leicester are in now, and I think of that fella, I don't envy him or Leicester or wish we could swap our fate with theirs. What I do, is I allow myself a little smile.
Yes I'm bitter. But I'm smiling.

We were discussing this on one of the Leicester threads, possibly even this one, and someone pointed out that if their results were declared void then Arsenal would be six points worse off while we would only drop one point which would leave us top of the table. Probably wouldn't work that way though.

What a horrible way to win the league, though.Surely all the results against Leicester would have to be voided.

Only fair way it could work really, just pretend they never exisited and relegate them as far as you could. I wonder what that would do to the relegation places though? All irelevant any no doubt.

I had a quick look yesterday and it wouldn't alter the sides that were relegated or qualified for the champions league

Not sure about drugs, but I think that it's irrefutable that they got preferential treatment from referees last year - I lost count of the missed handballs, red-card challenges going unpunished, grappling in the box being allowed etc. We choked it anyway and pretty much handed it to them, but the officiating and rolling over for them by other teams last year is what makes it leave such a bitter taste.
Mahrez was on drugs, though.
Last time he scored double-figures, he was playing in the fourth tier of French football, fack off.
