Two things:
1) I swear it's the same people who have been posting for years - even on this thread - about the "Sky 4" - how Sky manipulate fixtures and results to prevent anyone other than the same 4 [richest] clubs from winning the title - who are now insisting that Sky are manipulating fixtures and results to prevent anyone other than Leicester City from winning the title. It can't be both. What they are actually doing is manipulating fixtures to maximise viewers and advertising revenue.
2) If we were in our customary April/May position of scuffling trying to get into the Europa Leaguie and trying to keep fading hopes of a Champions League place alive, while Leicester City were unexpectedly marching off with the title, threads like this would be full of angry, frustration-filled Spurs supporters, demanding that we emulate them, poach their best players next summer and play next season on the counter-attack. We'd all be measuring up Pochettino against Ranieri and wishing Levy had infuriated every Spurs fan in the world by hiring Ranieri after Sherwood was let go.
If we were 7th we'd be delighted for Liecester and would laugh at those Man City and Arsenal fans who cooked up conspiracy theories and used any excuse to question the legitimacy of the Premier League.
