I think Vardy is only band for the Man Utd game ? 

 

I reckon they will beat Utd. If not wrap it up at home to Everton.

 

I am going for us t draw against the Spuds and them losing to Newcastle because they will be fighting for their lives by then.

 

Which ever way.  shouldn't laugh too long and hard at Spertz... at the Start of the season if you offered them top London club and Champions League spot they would have bitten your hand off.  So enjoying the moment but on reflection .... urrrrghhhh ! 

^ Plus you can imagine Benitez will be quite keen on revenge...

 

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if Leicester drew against Man Utd. Their record against the other sides in the top five this season has been far less spectacular than their general league form (although still impressive out of context - W2 D2 L2). Considering that they know they have some breathing space, as well as the fact that Man Utd are the side they are by far the most likely to drop points against in their remaining three fixtures (considering how poor our home form has been and the turmoil that Everton are currently in) they may well opt to be somewhat more conservative. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was a 0-0 draw. Certainly they will feel the absence of Vardy far more than they did against Swansea (who were awful).

 

That said, they have beaten better sides this season, and there is the possibility that they will push themselves over the line, feeling themselves driven by fate and knowing that they have the momentum. It would be a perfect finale for their season if they won 1-0 and someone like Drinkwater or Huth scored the winner (I feel like Andy King would appreciate the honour most). Admittedly my personal preference would be for us to snatch it away from Tottenham ourselves, or for Leicester to seal the deal at home against Everton, but that's only so I can witness it in person. Ultimately I don't care as long as Leicester clinch it and we maintain our unbeaten run against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge - I have never seen us lose at home to Tottenham in my lifetime and frankly I never want to.

And it's done.

Once in a lifetime stuff, can't even imagine how those players and fans are feeling tonight.

I just hope the club can maintain and don't do a Leeds.

They can keep the trophy warm for us next season!

Four times in a lifetime stuff for most of us, easy to forget how spoiled we are by Roman!

Well done Foxes, you gave us all a hell of a beating.

I still remember the cup winners cup being my "Wow" moment. That will never leave me.

I'm thinking that will be the same for those lads

Ranieri, who was sacked by Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich in 2004, guided the Foxes to a remarkable title success, sealed when Tottenham conceded a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 in a bad-tempered clash at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea interim boss Hiddink said: “I got a call from Ranieri. He called and thanked us for what we did, especially the second half, and I congratulated him for being champions. “(He said) five times ‘thanks’, because of the emotion. I didn’t see any tears because it was not a Facetime conversation, but his voice was trembling a bit.” Hiddink paid tribute to Leicester. He said: “They didn’t implode. There was no tension when they started smelling the title. That’s why I think they deserve it highly.” Tottenham’s indiscipline at Stamford Bridge was costly as they lost a two-nil lead and, ultimately, the title. Spurs needed to end their 26-year wait for victory at Stamford Bridge to have any hope of overhauling the Foxes and were 2-0 ahead at half-time through goals from Harry Kane - his 25th in the league this season - and Son Heung-Min. Gary Cahill pulled a goal back before substitute Eden Hazard belatedly rediscovered his blistering form of last season with the goal which denied Spurs and saw Leicester crowned champions.

Perhaps this has already been discussed, but when do Leicester get the trophy? Hopefully not at the Bridge, but their final home match this weekend?

Yep, they will lift it after their game vs everton. We still have to do the guard of honour though.

My Leeds mate at work reckons Ranieri will rub it in at the Bridge. I said you obviously don't know Ranieri and Chelsea's relationship plus it's not like he left and won the league title at our expense. Since he left we won tons of trophies.

It's like when you constantly beat your mate at something let's say FIFA. Anyway you beat him ten times and then he wins once and gloats.

Obviously I'm delighted for Ranieri, a genuinely nice guy. Perhaps you don't have to be a snarling. mean-spirited bully to have success in football.

 

It has frequently been described as a fairytale and it does feel like that. In any other sport if a serial under-achiever in his late 20s, early 30s, suddenly becomes a world-beater then serious questions are asked. When it happens to 7 or 8 members of the same team winning a competition where they have had fewer injuries and played at a higher intensity than all of their rivals I'm surprised that (to the best of my knowledge) no doubts have been raised.   

So Leicester City were 5000/1 to win the League at the start of the season. Can anyone remember such a long shot winning in Football or in any other sport for that matter?

 

Just for a bit of perspective, you could have got 500/1 on finding the Loch Ness Monster back in August.

I thought it was the pizza?
