Leicester make the headlines again. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever have imagined my little old Leicester City occupying the thoughts of UEFA but here we are 😊

Almost exactly a year earlier, we had just played out an awful 0-0 draw with Hull and many thought that result was curtains. Largely because the performance was so bad and different to what we had been used to seeing. I know some questioned their belief after that game but they sure did prove people wrong.

It's unbelievable to think we were seven points adrift this time last year and now we're five points clear, what an outstanding achievement, so proud 😊

Arro, can definitely see you dropping points tomorrow against palace and we should beat Bournmouth at home. By Sunday could be down to just 2 points or 3. Now we could lose to Bournmouth ( highly unlikely) and you win meaning the league will be all but over. But got a feeling we will be a lot closer to you by the end of the weekend. Let's wait and see.

Don I can definitely see us beating Palace and I think Bournemouth, third in the form table since 1st December, will prove a lot more difficult than you think and I fancy them to get a point. I think we'll be seven clear or at least as we are.

But even so, your next five make this one not so important. Even if the gap is reduced to two points, it wouldn't be the first time and I think you'll lose at Liverpool, draw at Stoke and lose at Chelsea and it will be all over.
I only really see Bournemouth, even though not easy, United and Southampton as games you should be confident of winning. Your fixtures are really tough and I wouldn't want to swap.

I just seen Spurs fixture list, it looks like brutal.

We keep it to 5 points throughout then we are still in with a chance but we have to keep it at that.

You hope mate, Bournemouth are a good side and I think they'll get a point and it'll be all over but if not it will be next week when Liverpool beat you 😉

We will see. Liverpool will be tough but they have Europa in mind not long after. I think liverpools chances of top 4 are pretty much dead and buried. I think we can get a result up there aslong as we get the 3 points tomorrow and keep the pressure on

We're not under pressure and we won't be if you win either. We're happy being top and we're playing without nerves. All the pundits are saying the same thing and Thommo was well impressed by our performance yesterday and both he and Jeff Stelling said we don't look like we're under any pressure at all. We're playing with freedom and just enjoying it.
The prsssure is firmly on you to catch us and even with a five point gap (should you manage to win) we have the chance to extend to eight before you play again because we're playing before you every week now. You're always going to find yourselves having must win games whereas we don't. We can drop points and still be above you but you don't have that luxury, you need to win every game, a point at Anfield will be no good, neither will a draw against United or at Stoke or against WBA or Chelsea. If we do drop points you still have to win if you're going to catch us.
That's a lot of pressure on a young inexperienced team with a young and inexperienced manager. I think it will be a very nervy performance tonight because you simply have to win, if we are seven or even eight points clear it's all over.
How confident are you of finishing above us now? Are you still as confident as you were when you were guaranteeing me you would?
