I think we Spurs fans are a little bit frustrated that in a season where there has been an almost perfect storm of under performance by the pre-season favourites we look to have our unexpected chance of PL title taken away from us by a perfect storm of over achievement by one of last year's relegation battlers.

I think I do speak on behalf of the vast majority of sensible Spurs fans on offering my unreserved congratulations on what Leicester and their manager have achieved this seaon

finally some class

Ranieri hasn't really got a choice, Leicester's squad is very limited,he's playing the hand he's dealt.

Ranieri was down to ten FGS

True but I've seen Jose manage the situation of going down a man, and even get a victory. He even did it at the Nou Camp for inter
All I'm saying is if ranieri was this genius manager the media are making him out to be, he would see to it that Leicester wouldn't concede 2 when they go to 10 men.

You are forgetting one minor detail there, though I love Jose, but he always had options from the strong bench.

Spurs are about what 7 points better off than last season

Circumstances mean that they have a shot at the title but they are still a work in progress who have improved a bit, not massively

Leicester have pretty much copied the "Chelsea" model of last season... attractive, expansive football in the first half of the season. More conservative but effective football in the second half.

And it's working for them as it did for Chelsea. Leicester will be deserved winners. And no amount of Spurs bitterness will change that.

Wonder if they'll follow through their emulation of Chelsea by going back to being relegation fodder next season. In hindsight Chelsea didn't look a good side second half of last season, just as Leicester haven't. Will be interesting to see where they go after their (probable) title win.

Except Chelsea are not "relegation fodder" and haven't been for a long time.

Some people would say they're now midtable fodder.
