FireFox Posted 2 March 2016 Share Posted 2 March 2016 If Spurs, who we took 4 points from, beat us to the title based on goal difference, I will be so pissed. C'mon 'ammers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 2 March 2016 Share Posted 2 March 2016 Leicester are nobodies? The same Leicester that's taken 4 points off them this season? The same Leicester who, after taking 3 points away from WHL, had been top of the league at that point for 33 days this season; more than Spurs have EVER been top of the league?

Livid Posted 2 March 2016 Share Posted 2 March 2016 Look Sky Sports track these nutters down. Like Talksport they're trying to be provocative. A couple of weeks ago they found one of our own in the club shop who did what looked like his best impression of Trigger from Fools and Horses saying we only had 'Little' clubs left to play after Arsenal. We've all got them Sky Sports drags them up that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 2 March 2016 Share Posted 2 March 2016 Leicester: West Brom draw may be the Foxes' title-winning moment One positive from the home draw with West Brom was a rare goal by Danny Drinkwater Rather than being the result that cost Leicester the title, a home draw with West Brom should be reflected upon as a positive... Join today View market Share this article "History reveals that most champions-in-waiting suffer a springtime stumble when hosting a bottom-half side, particularly squads who are quite inexperienced at fighting for first place, and that it refocuses the club in question rather than wiping them out of contention." Michael Lintorn Published: 02 March 2016 0 Comments It was all too inevitable that Premier League table-toppers Leicester would drop points in their supposedly straightforward home double header against Norwich and West Brom. After getting a late winner in the first contest and recovering from a goal down to be ahead at half time in the second, a second-half Craig Gardner free kick thinned the three points that they were on course for against the Baggies into one. Punters and pundits alike are interpreting it as the result with which the title slid away from them, with the Foxes drifting out to 4.60 third favouritism having not long ago been backed as short as 2.7. However, given that so many onlookers expected them to slip up in that King Power Stadium one-two - citing the popular theory that they struggle more against teams who don't take the game to them - surely four points from a possible six was a "par" return, if not superior? Factor in that Arsenal lost ground with defeat at Manchester United and that Tottenham, even if they move top on goal difference with a victory at West Ham, must survive Arsenal on Saturday to make the advantage stick, and the damage is nowhere near as severe as the doom-mongers decree. In fact, history reveals that most champions-in-waiting suffer a springtime stumble when hosting a bottom-half side, particularly squads who are quite inexperienced at fighting for first place, and that it refocuses the club in question rather than wiping them out of contention. For Manchester City, Sunderland seized the role of being their unsung re-energisers in both 2011/12 and 2013/14, achieving unlikely 2-2 and 3-3 draws at the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea's stroll to the title last term was temporarily disrupted by even less predictable obstructers Burnley. The Clarets showed no respect for the Blues' record of 34 points from a possible 36 at Stamford Bridge last February to earn a point with a 1-1 draw. The pacesetters were only denied triumph in four of the dozen matches that followed that setback. The Londoners endured a similar shaking a few months before they first sampled Premier League glory in 2004/05, being held 1-1 by Birmingham. Some compare what Leicester are threatening this season to what Blackburn managed in 1994/95. If you buy into that parallel then you will be pleased to know that Rovers also wobbled at home in early spring, being frustrated by an Ewood Park stalemate with the eventually-relegated Norwich. Claudio Ranieri's men have specialised in regrouping after disappointing results and, if you trust them to have at least one more rally in them, 4.60 is a pretty tasty price on them still being crowned.

whoareyaaa Posted 3 March 2016 Share Posted 3 March 2016 its hilarious that tottenham have ****ed it up tonight, I don't think their players have the same mentality as us they are still young and have never really been in a title challenge.

4everfox Posted 3 March 2016 Share Posted 3 March 2016 We have already spent far more time on top of the premier league than they ever have That statistic will never get old. I feel that record will stand for many years to come even if we are in the Championship in a couple of years time. And we're the nobodies? Unbelievable.

Sly Posted 3 March 2016 Share Posted 3 March 2016 People keep bring this, "have we got the bottle to sustain a push for the title" and "how will be cope, having not being in a title race before" ............ Did we not win the Championship the season before last? Kasper, Morgan, Big Was, Drinkwater, King, Vardy, Mahrez, James, Schlupp, Moore were all part of that squad. Even some of our recent purchases have experience elsewhere. Huth has won the Premier League twice with Chelsea. Simpson has won the Championship twice, Newcastle and Sunderland.

Jon the Hat Posted 3 March 2016 Share Posted 3 March 2016 Our team have experience of delivering under pressure. they did it last season with a massive prize. We are stronger this season with Kante and Okazaki in the mix. I don't see any reason why they cannot do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
