glad to see Vardy and Leicester charged by the FA

that kind of behavior is just unacceptable

based on Costa and Gabriel earlier this season Vardy should get at least a 2nd game

Spurs are just unreal right now. Kane and Alli are a joy to watch.

Spurs have been the best team to watch this season. By just about any measure, goals scored/conceded, chances created/allowed, they are head and shoulders above the rest.

I'm off for a shower.

Ya know, I think I've resigned to the fact I want Spurs to catch Leicester.

Leicester letting it slip away in the end would be pretty sad.

... but that's the nature of Cinderella.

Leicester is still in the driver's seat. I don't think Spurs is going to win out so Leicester just has to limit the amount of points lost

I think Spurs hardest game left is probably at Newcastle the last weekend because Newcastle will probably be playing to avoid relegation so they'll be fully motivated. Otherwise West Brom at home, Chelsea away and Southampton at home sounds like 3 wins to me with their current form. I wouldn't call Spurs the favorites now but they're in a really good spot, Leicester for the first time this season has all the pressure on them to finish and has a tougher finish with Swansea at home, United away, Everton at home and Chelsea away. They need 8 points to clinch and I only look at Swansea as a likely win.

I hate to be the one to break it to you but this is only leading up to Spurs actually blowing the title in the most spurs way possible of spursing it up

im gonna go so far as to say they will be ahead or tied with Leicester by the final day, and go on to lose to or draw an already relegated newcastle team

I'm at a point where I'm happy with any outcome. If Leicester win, then great - biggest fairytale in football in a VERY long time. If Spurs win, then great - they've been the best team this season and are always great to watch.

What if City go on a run and win it at the death?

if they win all of their 5 games left, they'll have 75 points. Leicester already have 73. Not going to happen.

Speaking of humiliating officiating, this goal was actually ruled onside...

Uniteds U21 beat Spurs 3-2 today and are league champions with two games to go. Not a huge deal, but seeing Rashford, Borthwick-Jackson and Fosu-Mensah doing extremely well with the first team and the U21 winning the title is great after the English press continuously blasted United for their youth system only a few months ago ("City's youth system is SOOO much better").

I guess they're in the drivers seat, but might want to buckle-up. If Vardy is out for a couple games and things get tighter than they are it could be panic time. Mahrez has cooled off it seems, and Spurs look like they're far better at this point.

Suddenly Swansea this weekend looks like a big deal. I think Spurs win on Monday when they host West Brom, so if Leicester drops points this weekend it'll be quite a ride to the finish.
