When will we overtake Leicester

[mightyspur]

Just for a bit of fun... don't take it too seriously. We are currently 7 points behind with 15 to play for.

The earliest we could catch them IF (and it is a very big if) Leicester lose their next 3, or lose 2 of them and draw 1, is the 2nd May (providing we get maximum points from those 3 games)

A number of various combinations of them dropping points and us winning could mean we overtake them any point from then on.

My heart says fairy tale ending to the last game of the season with us winning and them drawing to Chelsea to send the title to WHL.

My head says not until the first game of next season after we have finished a very respectable (albeit heart wrenching disappointment) in 2nd...

If it goes to the last game of the season Chelsea will roll over.

There is NO WAY on earth that that club will want us to secure the title.

The reason why I didn't vote for the 13th August 2016 is that they'll still be alphabetically ahead of us in the table.

It all depends on what time during the 13th you're referring to.

Maybe never. Leicester could dominate English football for the rest of eternity.

 

[garryparkerschest]

You still haven't come back with a time.

Given how Sky and BT like to get all the 'big guns' on tv on the opening weekend and they'll also be expected to televise the champions beginning their defence of the title, I actually have a suspicion that we'll be pitted against Leicester at the King Power in the opening day fixtures.

And if that happens I reckon we'll beat them so I've gone for August 13th.

89th minute against Newcastle

89th minute against Newcastle

Why so early? 98th minute would be preferable, especially if only four minutes were allocated. Then we can all piss ourselves laughing at Leicester moaning at the injustice, as if they haven't been allowed to play with three additional outfield goalkeepers for the last month.

89th minute against Newcastle

Beat me to it!

Kane penalty?

Beat me to it!

Kane penalty?

Nah-we will be winning already but Vardy will score an own goal to send us top

 

[Gassin's finest]

89th minute against Newcastle

Plz no... I'll have died from a heart attack by then if it's that close!

I read something earlier and there was a season (94-95 I think) where Blackburn needed to win at Liverpool to win the title instead of United, but Liverpool beat them, and United only failed to win the title because they didn't win as well. Had United won, Liverpool would have handed the title to them on a plate.

 

[garryparkerschest]

Kane penalty?

Woooh....don't say that.

Just sent a shiver down my back.

Just imagine that...a penatly to win the league.

I wouldn't want anyone else to take it, so confident he'll score against the 3rd Keeper of the barcodes.

If it's left till the last game there is no way that the chavs will want to win that game!

Take a look at this predictor, I can still see Leicester losing points!

I have the gap at 2 points after the Chelsea-Spurs/Man Utd-Leicester games (we win, they draw)

They then lose on the last day and we beat Newcastle. Win the league by 1pt. Villa, Newcastle and Sunderland go down.

 

[Kingellesar]

There would be no Spurs supporters left alive if it went down to the last minute of the season.

 

[Son of Saintlyspur]

I have a gap of 1 point after the Chelsea-Spurs/Man Utd-Leicester games (we win, they lose) and then on the last game we draw with Newcastle and they lose against Chelsea so we win the league on GD...

Andros takes a good penalty - ask him to do it for old times sake?

You had to look that up? I thought you were the fountain of football knowledge. Then again, you could be a teenager, one of those newborn again new fan creatures or someone who actually knows fck all, but is a genius googling...

West ham indeed did the deed that allowed the kop to let out a massive sigh of relief. As indeed i. did myself when sir les had his early goal at ot cancelled out that year, if we hadve hung on the goons would have nicked the title as i recall !
