Just spoke to a Chelsea fan (don't worry not a friend!) and he says that Chelsea actually really dislike Leicester. Something to do with a female fan being stabbed or injured at the old Filbert Street. So he says no way will they take it lightly even if it hands us the league.

I'll clutch at that straw in hope!

I remember that now you mention it. Wasn't the perp some shifty fella that looked like Steptoe? Had some weird blue armband or something?

Anyone else worried with Pulis comments??

Saying he will pick his team against the scum with the spurs game in mind for Monday

To me that means he will field a weakened side tomorrow..

he might be hinting that Berahino will start v the goons, as he might not be prepared to put him on against a team he wants to be playing for;)

Getting bored of people worrying about Chelsea 'handing' it over. I doubt it'll be as easy as people think. They'll want to win to impress their new boss. John Terry will surely want to win his last game for the club.

Besides, things may work out that we're top before then.

Until the last day, however, let's just focus on this weekend, eh?

Considering I'm about equally as scared of their B team as I am of their A team, I don't really care.

Noise coming from Leicester.....

I disagree with the summation.... but I guess the proof will be in the pudding.... and I hope it's flat, sloppy un digestible pudding
"We have nothing to lose..." No way do they believe that now, maybe in January, but not now. It's a nice line, but they know what a chance this is, and their hearts will be pounding come Sunday.

We're actually the ones with nothing to lose. Everybody has been expecting them to win it for a few weeks now. Whereas we're not expected to or doesn't look likely, and 2nd with auto CL qualification will do just fine. No real heartbreak for us (unless we're top on final day and lose out).

Swansea and Everton are both utterly terrible teams, and Chelsea will roll over....... So I don't see them losing more then three points. :(

Until today, everton had lost the least amount of games away from home, 2!

Even now losing only 3 games this season away, is really good.

Pulis teams always worry me with their 10-0-0 formations and constant time-wasting. Get an early goal and it should be no problem though

Trying to be optimistic surely Everton can't get any worse. Maybe this stuffing in the derby will wake them up. God knows if they play like this they'd struggle to take points off Villa let alone Leicester.

Any hopes I had of Everton getting anything at Leicester have gone, totally abject. Bobby Martinez has the look of a man who knows he's out the door.

Everton just cannot defend to save their lives. Even when they score they concede more or less straight away afterwards. This seems to happen in every other game for them. I was hoping that they'd be able to do something against Leicester but i think that they look absolutely finished and will have no chance against utd in the semi or against a hungry Leicester.
