Leicester have had some massive calls go in there favour in quite a few games this season. Some reason they never get handballs given against them in the Penalty box.

Probably doping up then paying off the refs, that's the only thing that makes sense as to why they're ahead of Arsenal

Did anyone else in EU or ROW hv managed this sort of thing? From relegation zone to Top team?

If the win it it will be the most remarkable turnaround in football. Just think, they could have actually been in the championship this season.

Relax folks! Seen this happen year in, year our. Only difference this year is that the big four can't decide between themselves who should be the front runner. Southampton, Everton and Villa all put up some strong fights all season long in the past, only to wane at the end. The same will happen to Leicester sooner or later. I believe the title is between Arsenal and City.

seen what happen every year?!
you haven't seen anyone do a Leicester.... by now Blackburn were choking.
this one is unique...

posted on 6/3/16

liverpool did choke in the last 4 games.There is something about this Leicester side though.The luck they have aswell is ridiculous.

bottom line is they are where they are because they play direct football.

Why other teams cant play direct football?

Back on topic, I don't watch top gear often but if you get the chance to see them test 4x4s towing beaten up caravans you will wet yourself laughing. Apparently the producers called time on it due to destroyed caravans, destroyed 4x4s, and complete abandonment of anything resembling rules, fair play, and safety.

It was fun to watch

Love how people like to praise LCFC with such back handed compliments.

Like yeah she's hot but it's just cause she's got big tiiiits

Excellent manager and three or four players on top form most of the season and few injuries.

That said they have looked poor since Xmas and will win 3 draw 3 and lose 3 of their last nine as pressure piles up.

It's no surprise that the top two teams have been playing the most outwardly intense brand of football. Everyone covers each other, with a little extra left over, to cover every blade of grass.

I support my club as much as the next person, but I can't shake the feeling that our players could last an extra 90 minutes on the pitch every time, with enough left over for a light training session afterwards.

Everyone except Flamini obviously.

This. People are still surprised when we don't lose or drop off. Truth is we're a very good team who play good football with a class act manager in charge.

Because it has been a massive failure for the chasing pack to be beaten by a club with nowhere near the resources of the big clubs.

So that's a legitimate reason to dismiss LCFC cause they play direct football?

sour grapes lad and it's a way some fans justify their own clubs failings to themselves.

They could potentially still win the league even if they did only get 12 points from their last 9.

I won't buckle, and look forward to the apologies at the end if I am proved right as I will happily apologise if proved wrong

If you look at the table week by week, Leicester have been in the top four pretty much all season. Only because it's Leicester are why people are surprised that they're still there now, but if it were Utd/ City/ Chelsea no one would be making anything of it. Leicester have been consistently getting the results whereas the others have kept slipping up.

All good though, hope they win

Combination of mental strength, (refusing to believe they do not belong where they are) and genuine top class players such as kante vardy and in particular mahrez. Mahrez is the definition of unplayable when he's on the ball at times. He's like a turbo version of Payet in the sense that he goes past players like in the school playground better than even Messi in that respect

Also high energy levels which is also something spurs benefit from.

Belief is the main one though. I always wondered if an unfancied team would be able to prolong a good run of form. We always get one or two every season that start strong but drop off eventually. In theory there is no reason why that form can't be extended for an entire season if the manager and players had the know how to stay mentally strong.
