Rooting for the Foxes

Don't understand why people think Spurs will win it? Am I the only person that thinks they have a very tough April where they will drop a lot of points? Arsenal should finish at least 2nd and we'll be there to pounce if Leicester slip up.

Spider silk is supposed to have a higher tensile strength than steel

If they are top after 38 games then they deserve it.

Not necessarily.

If a team has far fewer games to play, hence better rest & prep time, and far fewer injuries... but only wins it by a few points, then the runner-up probably deserved it.

We'll win it by more than a few points, I'll go for eight 👍

Wenger's belief that the league is still open is laughable. It ended weeks ago.

Don't get how people can complain about the team's/manager's lack of mental strength, then throw in the towel so easily.

Win your game in hand and you're 8 points back.

Looking at Leicester's last 5, and it's not that far fetched to suggest they might only win 1 of them and collect just 4 or 5 points of the 15.

Arsenal could even sew up the title with a win at the Etihad.

In what way this season has Wenger demonstrated that this team actually has the mental strength to claw back the title?

That's not the point though. It's obviously an extremely uphill task, but when you look at the remaining fixtures, there are plenty of potential pitfalls for Leicester. They've got 21 points left to play for, but don't have that many bankers and have never been in a situation like this before. There's no knowing how they'll respond if they unexpectedly drop a couple of points vs So'ton or Sunderland. A slight wobble at this stage of the season and they might just come unstuck at the seams.

If you win one of West Ham or City away -your toughest remaining fixtures on paper- you could be looking at 21 points from your last 8. One game at a time, but each win will put a little bit more pressure on Leicester.

It's not in your hands, but you just need to keep plugging away until it's no longer possible. That's how I see it.
