Definitely feels like two points dropped. If we manage to win the league, will it be the first time that becoming champions is a papering over of the cracks? I just want to go to bed until Sunday.

This is the first full game I have watched of Leicester this year (FA Cup not included as that was a completely different line-up), and frankly they don't impress me much. Yeah, they won and it sounds like sour grapes, but it wasn't deserved really. They were clearly the weaker team for most of the game. They had a grand total of two shots on goal (both good mind you) and otherwise did very little. I might be choked after the colour commentary gave them credit for "playing to win all night" when really they looked just over matched.
Maybe they were stronger earlier in the season? I don't really know how they've managed. Opportunity lost for Spurs though. They just couldn't get a goal despite all of their dominance, which is a recurring theme. Maybe considering they play Saturday and again Tuesday for the FA Cup reply they can press and sign a striker and get it over with?

I was more referring to how much he currently looks like Pirlo with his beard. Not quite as thick but otherwise it's a dead ringer.

That's how Leicester play though, almost rope-a-dope. Absorb the oppositions best shot and punish them with countering and late goals. And luck obviously too, but it really isn't too lucky when you have a guy so unmarked on a corner he has time to get his whole weight into the header.

How great would it be if Tottenham signed Enrique Sola?

It would be great if they signed any striker at this point.

Yeah but for a club with Tottenham's history and tradition you should check out Enrique Sola's nickname. 
In other news, hearing that Klopp has called Bayern in regards to Gotze!

I saw that and figured that was what you were referring to. I debated referencing it...but how? Pretty sure that I would be gassed here as a poster if I took that joke too far. (  )
Apparently Berahino from WBA is now of interest to Leicester as well as Tottenham. Spurs were chasing him to the wire in the summer and couldn't get a deal done. Hard to say whether the Foxes are actually interested or whether WBA is trying to get more suitors involved so they can command a better price.

It would be cool if next time he scores, he lifts his shirt to reveal the name of the famous person that has an imminent date with the Grim Reaper.
It would be even cooler if it was Donald Trump.

I believe he does and was not too amused when he was questioned.

What's wrong with Trump? He's only saying what most Americans are thinking.

Chelsea is like Trump right now: Loudmouth with lots of money who thinks money is the truest value of success, but in reality closer to being a total loser facing relegation.
Edit: Undeserved late equalizer by Terry, clearly offside. Nice finish though.

Chelsea scores an offside goal a minute after added time had expired to tie. Everton got robbed

Mahrez misses his second penalty of the year.
First one cost them two points so see if this one is costly. Leicester up 1-0

The officiating in this game has been awful.
