I've just glanced at Leicester's remaining fixtures and I think they will drop points in the following games:
Sunderland (a) - D
West Ham (h) - L
United (a) - L
Everton (h) - D
Chelsea (a) - D
That's a whopping 12 points dropped by everyone's favourite plucky underdog...
I think Arsenal, who are 8 points off, presuming they win their game-in-hand at home to West Brom, will only drop 3 or 4 points.
West Ham & City away. Either 2 draws or 1 win & 1 loss. Either way, that would actually see Arsenal win the title; by a single point or on goal difference.
Spurs' games are probably too difficult, but it's not over for you guys either. Kane appears to have the intangibles required to inspire a team to get over the line.
Leicester could (will) crumble

Barcelona have utilised the counter attack as much as any other team over the past 18 months to great effect.
Are you suggesting they are a lesser team than most, if not all the teams they play?

I don't think anybody is saying they don't deserve it if they do it.
But that is completely different to saying they a very average team.

As are Arsenal, evidenced by their league position

Complete and utter BS, Barcelona dictate the tempo of every single game.

73 long balls..........279 short passes.
58 long balls..........576 short passes.
Shall we guess which one is Leicester and which is Barcelona

Barca also play counter attacking football, just ask Arsenal how they conceded twice at the Emirates
It's also worth pointing out that only Spurs have a better goal difference than Leicester, and only Spurs and City have outscored them so far.
As for goals conceded only Spurs, Arsenal and Man Utd have conceded fewer.
On average Leicester have been the best team over the course of the season hence their league position and greater points tally. They have been the best team this season so far, and have provided us with some great attacking football and goals.. along with Vardy's PL scoring record.
It isn't as if they've done it by defending for 85mins and fluking a late goal every game. They've been in some great games of football this season, played City off the park a couple months ago.

Remember 2012, Man United were 8 points clear with 6 games to go, they were on a very very good run as well at the time, and were not griding out flukey 1-0 wins. They lost the title on goal difference. No reason why Leicester can't slip up. Hopefully they can lose to United and Chelsea, we're really hoping for another 4+ points they can drop, West Ham can be one of them, Sunderland or Everton the other! would be a bonus if Swansea could take points off them. I feel Arsenal would need to win 6 of our 7 games probably afford to drop 2 points. Probably against Man City.

Why do Arsenal fans suddenly think they can win the title just because Spurs have drawn a game

Ha, I see another thread about the drug issue bit the dust whilst I played football this avo
Dare I ask what happened?

Sir Tottenham of Hotpsur, because we're only 4 points behind you with a game in hand. You have tougher fixtures left. I expect Arsenal to finish at least 2nd. I think majority of people do. I don't know why you're questioning that for Regarding the title Leciester can only throw it away from here. If they do we will be there to pounce but lady luck is well and truly on there side at the moment!
