Is it fair Spurs played catch up every game ?

Surely they should have alternated to keep it fair ?

Sky are shite and I look forward to cancelling my subscription.

What difference does it make? We battered Stoke last Monday and couldn't be bothered in the second half tonight. Regardless of the Leicester result you would expect more fight from our team tonight. I've seen more fight on a Thursday night at 5-a-side.

I don't think playing after Leicester made much of a difference, we always knew we'd have to win every single game to even stand a chance.

What may have made a difference is if it was the other way around and Leicester were playing catch up. After all, it's their title to lose right now. Although, they're never going to put the potential champions on a Monday night. Sunday viewing is crucial for them.

I am going to say it right now, our crowd tonight was hugely dissapointing, look at how Leicester and their crowd were during their game against Swansea for example.

You could hear a pin drop at the lane tonight at times, I don't think it has helped playing catch up every week but at the same time it's not really an excuse.

No point moaning about it now, but I do think that any team having to play 3 Mondays in a row is probably unprecedented.

Not going to moan. But 100% it makes a difference. Any sports person will confirm it.

Theres no time to not be bothered - there is still Champions League Qualification at stake & the chance to finish above Arsenal for the first time in over 20 years.

If they don't achieve those two simple tasks from here then i will be upset with them.

When you are gifted several goals like Leicester were on Sunday i'm sure we would have had a rapturous crowd too !

It does make a difference.

What was even more ridiculous was that Leicester Tigers had to move their home European Champions Cup semi final to Nottingham on Sunday because of Sky's insistence that Leicester have to always play before us. I'd be incredibly pissed off if I was a Tigers fan at having to surrender home advantage in such fashion when realistically, and sensibly, Leicester v Swansea should have been on Monday, not Sunday.
