Yeah, Chelsea are going to be picking up slot of new fans as well.

They should be fairly used to having short term fans

You and the whole world except spurs fans!

Apparently should they win, the cup will only be presented after the home Everton game.
Cups only get presented at away ground if winning team has no home games left.
Tickets for that Everton game are probably astronomical anyway!

Hehe, with a last minute Chris Smalling own goal to seal it

I am actually nervous/excited. I along with so many are emotionally invested in Leicester at this stage :pac:

There will be kids that will be grown up in 20 years time as Leicester fans. People will be asking "Why Leicester?" and they will get to tell them the greatest story ever told.

It's just an observation, but does anyone else think Leicester fans are very reserved considering the achievement they're going to pull off?

The clappers are pretty loud obviously but aside from that the atmosphere at their games hasn't been all that good, certainly not an atmosphere you'd expect from a club about to arguably pull off the greatest sporting achievement of all time, especially when you think about the atmosphere that fans of some clubs of a similar standing would be generating in their position.

I think they are just nervous

This has been building for months and months, and even though Leicester coming second in the premiership would be a massive story back last August, if they don't win it now it will be a let down.

They will go wild once its secured.

Just added Leicester to my favourites on sofascore. Feeling quite giddy.

Played better than Utd on first half imo. Problem at right back a couple times though which is a little worrying.

GLaDOS

Inching closer

Seve OB

Well that means that Spurs now must win their last 3

thebaz

that really should be it - the dream - fantasy becoming a reality - Spurs must win all 3 games , and can't see them beating Chelsea tomorrow -

Paully D

It has been 4 weeks in a row now that Leicester have played before Spurs. :eek:

Richard Hillman

Diego Costa is going to turn into full bastard mode tomorrow. Strolling around wrecking dreams and rubbing their noses in it.

They can nearly rename Monday Night Football to Monday Night Spurs at this stage.

GreNoLi

Wrecked after that, haven't supported a team as much as I have leicester in yonks, their fans must be completely dazed.

in fairness when the fixtures were compiled no one would have had Spurs or Leicester as title contenders - just bad luck on Spurs , who in fairness have handled pressure well

Cypher_sounds

Ranieri says he won't be watchig the Spurs match tomorrow as he will be on a flight back from Italy at 7, brilliant!

Pawwed Rig

No way Drinkwater deserved a red for me but a fair result. Leicester to win league tomorrow.

The times of the current rounds of matches were decided by Sky towards the end of February when both teams were definitely in contention. It's a bit unfair that they didn't even things up a little better.

At the time Spurs were in Europa league so were always going to be given the graveyard shift

K-9

So they've answered every single question of them, no Vardy? Goals drying up? Going behind? Up against packed defences? Will they cope with the pressure?

So basically he cares about his mother.What an inspiration Ranieri is. I'd honestly never have expected that.

In fairness he's only going to visit his elderly mother, it's hardly that great a thing to be doing.

It reminds me of Chris Rock's Nigga's v Blacks routine.

I think it's more of an attempt to always have the view that others don't have.

which is kind of ironic

sabat

I remember reading before that Ranieri's mother's favourite player was Damien Duff and whenever he left him out she was on the phone complaining.

Nothing is dampening this coming moment. The haters standing against the tide just make it all sweeter.

They haven't answered every question. The last question is can they clinch it...

It's job done I think, I don't think Spurs will win tomorrow. Draw at best.

If Spurs play at their best they'll beat Chelsea.

They are a much better team

They are missing Dele Alli on a ground they haven't won at in 26 years.

True but it's also the best spurs team in over 26 years.

They have to win so it should be a decent game of ball hopefully

GLaDOS

Dier a doubt for Spurs as well.

I would respect Ranieri more if say, they got about 8 elderly Italian women, to compete in a league formation, home and away, in cooking and cleaning and ironing, etc. Then at the end they could take the top 4, and they could compete in a 1st versus 4th, 2nd versus 3rd play-off (because this is how all things important are really decided) and the winner of the final should be the person that Ranieri actually visits. He's chosen the easy route here, if you ask me.

WTF!, I'm watching a game with Chelsea in it tomorrow... and I want them to win...:eek:

Absolutely. That would be a good idea.

I honestly wouldn't find visiting your mother to be all that worthy of attention or praise but you'r idea of spreading the love around is much better.

In your playoff idea would they be 2 legged playoffs, one leg or maybe best of 3 series?

Possiblility of doping.
Playoffs.
Only winning it because others are poor.
Ranieri visiting his mother.



Love it.

100% true whether people want to admit it or not.

Someone brought up Ranieri visiting his mother as evidence of what a great fella he is whereas myself (and I suspect 99% of the worlds population) wouldn't consider visiting you mother to be that big a deal.

I think you're missing the point - it's the very fact that at potentially the biggest moment of his career, on the cusp of achieving something completely unprecedented in the world of sport, instead of watching from behind a sofa, praying for a chelsea goal, he's popping off to Italy to visit his Mam. No fuchs given.

It shows a very nice grounded perspective on life, and is just too cool for school.

Spurs are still way shorter odds (between 10-1 and 20-1) to win the league than Leicester were at the start of the season.
