No signs of the Leicester train derailing.
Sorry, I don't agree with this at all. It is entirely possible that they could drop points at any time, none of their games are what you'd call rampantly easy. Wether we can take advantage or not is another matterCrazy times but they keep on winning. The remaining fixtures are better than they have recently overcome. Going take something huge for us to win now.

I was discussing yesterday with a West Brom fan about how frustrating it was to see us miss out on the league title because of Leicester's amazing run. I was saying how gutted I am that we'd been biting the heels of the top 4 for near enough a decade now, and since all the other fuckers have fallen apart this has been our best chance to achieve what we'd thought as being impossible. If we were currently 2nd with Chelsea, City, Arsenal, United or even Liverpool in front of us I'd understand. But Leicester just feels bizarre. Fair play to them I guess, it's even more of an achievement for them, but it still kinda hurts.
That's when he put things into a little bit of perspective for me. He said that as a Baggies fan he's just as frustrated that it isn't his club. I mean why not? Not saying that they could do it with Pulis, but when it comes to club size, stature, support and finances (when you consider how much that Leicester team cost them) you'd argue that any other fucker in the league, bar the relegation fodder, should've been able to do the same. Leicester have just stumbled across a unique combination of having 2 or 3 massively in form players and a manager with the right attitude. Combine that with a bit of luck and there you have it.
I reckon this kind of season comes once in a generation. We can say that we've missed out, but let's be honest, so can anyone else the level of Leicester and above. If they could do it, why couldn't anyone else? Plus, the likes of Chelsea, City and Arsenal must be kicking themselves even more. I'm feeling a little less bitter after that chat at least...
they got a soton next, if its soton of the second half today they will loseAt eight points clear it feels like it's pretty much over. At five points it's still undecided. It's annoying that teams don't still play on the same day.
The two matches that keep this alive is Soton and West Ham (which maybe the most difficult team in the prem). If they come out unscathed out of those, then they absolutely deserve the title. In every aspect they keep the dream alive for any club, making this so historic and unbelievable.
