The Race to the Title

[Hazardousman]

They don't need 3 wins though. They need 2 wins and 2 draws of we win all 4. That's why that last minute Leicester pen was hugely significant

They won't get anything away at old Trafford mate, especially if they don't have Vardy. That's a nailed on loss for Leicester in my opinion.

I even think Swansea will take a point from them, I personally believe that come the end of our game against Chelsea we will be above them.

Isn't it 4 points?

City are 7 behind, Arsenal 8 with a game in hand

So if both win all their games then its:

city + 12 points (5 above us)
arsenal + 15 points (7 above us)

but they play each other, for the smallest maximum value the worst possible result is a city win, which means -3 points for arsenal

city + 12 points (5 above us)
arsenal + 12 points (4 above us)

With GD, 4 points will secure 3rd place.

Right you are, didn't factor in the City-Arsenal game. Even better then, a win and a draw and we're practically there.

I can't help thinking Swansea will beat L'ster. Wishful thinking might have taken over, but I just got a feeling.

Important thing about Newcastle City result is that if Utd beat Palace tomorrow it's game on for them for top four and they will be fighting for their life against Leicester.

Yep and if we are to win the title, a United Win vs Leicester is an absolute must.

They beat Swansea and Chelsea, Draw Everton and lose at Old trafford.

We win our 4, we win the league on goal difference!

Deal ?

Guidolin is a hard motherfucker and schooled in Italian tactics so he could get all 3 points.. just hope the Swansea team are actually not already on holiday

I personally think Leicester will wobble by drawing against Swansea and losing to Utd, before staging a recovery and winning their last two.

I guess that means its just down to whether we can win our last four.

I'll take that deal because it means we'll go top the week before at home to Southampton.

Loving the optimism mate. Hope you are right.

They need result from this game just to be safe of being safe.

The players believe mate and I believe with them. After years of being pessimistic about us if feels nice to finally have a team I trust.

Even if we don't win the league I will be over the moon with the effort they have put in for the badge.

This is the first time I can truly be proud of every single player wearing that shirt in a very long time, at the very least I will give them my optimism and belief.

I truly do believe we will win it mate.

Chelsea is the stickler - they will try and play the game of their lives against us.

We stop Willian though and we halve their threat.

Hearing scummy cesc saying he doesn't want us to win it on MNF just reinforced my belief that players are willing to throw games so teams they dislike don't win.

The fact he is even saying that should mean he can't play IMO,, because he could put a shit shift in against Leicester and it only takes one player to fuck it up for the entire team let's face it.

Either that or he was trying to save face with the scum fans in which case he's an idiot because they hate him lol.

[mattie g]

The manner of our win yesterday would have absolutely put doubt into the minds of Lester - they can only assume that our form will mean that we'll win out. That piles up massive pressure on them to get three points against Swansea given their last three games.

Such a mindf**k of a few weeks!

 

[rossdapep]

This may be the first time this season where they MUST win and must do so with things not being entirely in their favour. Now, people say scraping 1-0 wins is the mark of champions, I disagree, it's winning the games where everything is stacked agaivst you and you can't play you're typical game.

 

[walworthyid]

I don't think he should bother using soclal media reacting to things like this, especially when its so obvious that Vardy deserves the charge.

Private opinion fine, but better off swerving going public.

But yeah agree, he certainly has stuck up for us over the years.

The players tweet!

He's done more than defend us. He's taken virtually every opportunity to praise us and even better, force gooner pundits to do so as well!

Lineker makes no secret of his bias towards us.

 

[Spurvert]

I think Leicester will win their game against Swansea and we will beat West Brom.

It's going to get very interesting after that though.
