The Race to the Title

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

You dont just do what Leicester are doing in top level sport without cheating somehow. Sky are selling it incredibly well but its completely inconceivable that a team who were fighting relegation last season could be 7 points clear at the top in less than 12 months.

The chances of this happening were literally akin to a three legged, retarded horse winning the grand national. Running backwards. After giving every other horse a 15 second head start.

I find it INCREDIBLY coincidental that this super human-like form, because that's what it is, happened when it looked like they were about to get relegated from the PL. The fact that they hit form so immediately aswell is also very suspicious.

Unfortunately, if anything ever does come out it'll be in about 10 years when Leicester are back in league one and irrelevant.

Theres a thread in General Footy about it. Good read though. Two big stories in recent weeks showing them not to be so golden after all.

You can't go a few months without an article about dubious practices or one (or a few) of their players either being a racist **** or a wifebeating ****. That club is suspect from the top to the bottom and yet it all gets swept under the carpet so the media can parrot the 'fairytale title win' stories.

I think Nigel 'Pusher' Pearson started it all. He's a walking 'roid with the personality to match.

I said last year that I thought he was on something. His interviews were more than just a bit eccentric.

Ostrich indeed.

People are really overstating the Chelsea wanting us to lose thing. Yes the fans would prefer a Leicester win but do you really think Roman will be happy with the manager he sacked for not being a winner winning the league in his own back garden? Or the players will want to give the visiting side a guard of honour whilst handing over THEIR trophy? Yes maybe the players will be on their holidays already, but arguing that Chelsea as a whole will want Leicester to win the trophy over Spurs is far from the truth.

I'm still holding out hope that we end up winning the league because of an own-goal from John Terry's racist face.

People seem to be forgetting that all the players will put a shift in until the end of the season in an attempt to impress Conte!

Saying they'll lose on purpose is absolute madness.

Mentioning Conte and within the same post stating someone purposefully losing a match is absolute madness is just...well...

I'm in the camp of not being surprised in the slightest if Chelsea hand Leciester that game if it stops us winning. They are a vile club front to back and seem to make a habit of screwing us over.

it will most probably all come out a lot later when its too late

At the end of the day the Chelsea players will not be playing at full throttle, not because they want to deny us, but because they've not much to play for and will already be thinking of the beach.

The fans might have them up for it a bit more when we play them, but even that will be a lot flatter than usual when we head there I reckon.

No. There is no way Chelsea will beat us if that means us winning the league. NO chance.

If you say so. Because this season is so predictable and all.

I had a premonition last night, I was awoken by some foxes fighting outside. What does this mean? Yes, that's it! Leicester will be embroiled in infighting and will suffer from a huge meltdown.

On a side note, after being woken up I now hate foxes.

FYI those noises aren't foxes fighting, it's foxes shagging... what does it mean now?

 

[riggi]

None of us know what will be going through the Chelsea players minds on the last day. Both arguments are plausible. Imo it will be all wrapped up before we head up to Newcastle.

With it being John Terry's last game....he'll want to finish on a high. How ironic if he scores a last minute winner and hands it to us!

There's no way he'd go against the wishes of the 'Bridge'. He's never done anything like that before.

Depressing viewing. We're playing great stuff, but with Stoke and Chelsea away I can't see us winning 5/5.

I applaud Leicester for everything they've done, but having watched their last 4 or 5 games it's almost uncanny how they've managed to win them all. In every single game the opposition has missed a glaring chance or hit the woodwork at a crucial moment, not to mention a few questionable refereeing decisions. I know "in football you make your own luck blah blah etc" but these last 4/5 games have pretty much been decided on a coin-toss and Leicester have done the equivalent of tossing 5 heads in a row. They fully deserve to be where they are due to their heroics throughout the season, but this last month has felt oddly like destiny. Reminds me of when we won 8 in a row under Harry - we got so bloody lucky in a few of those games, and certainly didn't deserve to win them all - but that's just how football goes sometimes. Leicester just happen to have got that luck at the best time imaginable.

I refuse to let it do my head in and frankly, am now more interested in finishing firstly in the top 3 or 4 and secondly above Arsenal. That way I will retain both my sanity and the ability to get a massive erection.
