They are getting right on my tits. Agreed. I'm looking forward to the implosion. Fingers crossed it will be Hull like.

They are getting right on my tits. Yep, my patience is wearing a little thin too, it's like a bad joke that someone has taken too far, hopefully the roof will cave in at some point soon. I'm still pinching myself about how we managed to piss a 2-0 lead up the wall against with these clowns from Leicester So apart from Stoke who would you like to win the leauge? Hopefully not Arsenal, Hopefully not Man U. From what is left why not include Leicester?

I think this way the pleasure for none Stoke fans is kept to a bare minimum!

Though improbable, Leicester winning the league or even getting in the Champs League would be the best thing that has happened to football for decades. I believe it would also have positive knock on effects for clubs like us. Fans, Chairmen and Players (especially potential signings) would realise that champions league ambitions are not the sole property of just 4 teams. It can only inspire clubs like ours and lead us to dare to dream, and that's what football is all about. Leicester are spearheading a mini revolution in the Premiership imho.

To be clear, you'd rather a globally worshipped, super-rich team like ManU, ManC or Chelsea (or Arsenal? or Liverpool?) - clubs that dominate our country's football because of hideously unevenly-allocated wealth, and that have already won obscene amounts of silverware - win the league than Leicester, a provincial midlands club of limited resources much like our own, who have never won the league, were in the third division a few years ago and whose odds to win the title were 5000-1 at the start of the season? If either of you two ever had any love for the game of football, it is truly lost now.

Once you get over the jealousy part you can only hope Leicester make it. Like Ranieri as a man, but as a manager he's managed to get sacked from every job he's had since Chelsea,amazing turnaround. TBF You could say that about managers at the top level. Most don't leave by choice "Mutual consent" usually means the team and the manager agreed on a severance package.

If we can't win it, then I hope another small club can, rather than a "usual suspect" who simply buy their success. I would not be so envious to deny Leicester or any other club similar to us being successful.

Didn't Everton qualify for the CL playoff spot a while back but then lost? Agree that it would be good competition though but I can't see them winning it, in fact I think their fortunes will turn at the weekend (Away at Everton with a few suspensions). Liverpool would be far more annoying for me to be honest.

Still think they're one of the big boys because they won the European Cup 35 years ago.

It's no coincidence that Foxysgloves is a staunch Pulis fan and God's is one of the most pessimistic folk on here when you hear them talking like that. They definitely have no love for the game left in their bones.

Listening to them at work is painful; and you can't say anything to them at all that might be considered negative or simply an honest appraisal about their playing style. As far as they are concerned they are playing the best football ever seen and have some 'world class talent' (yes, that is a direct quote). That said they are where they are on merit - Man City haven't been consistent enough and Arsenal continue their laughably horrendous injury record to key players. One thing that is very clear this season though is that the 'natural order' is no more and it is far more competitive. At the moment there's 12 points separating 11 teams - that is almost akin to the competitiveness of the Championship. Predicting where any team will end up is near enough impossible at the moment (unless your name is 'Aston Villa' of course )

I turn up at every game expecting us to win so by default in August I expect us to win the title. If not us Everton or Spurs, partly because I don't despise those clubs but mainly because of the reaction it would get from Liverpool/Arsenal fans.....

I'd be jealous if Leicester won the league as they're a similar sized club to ourselves.
Would much rather a Spurs or Everton won it as they're both big clubs with decent, well-grounded supporters who haven't won the title in decades.
And Spurs winning would piss off Arsenal.

I'd be delighted if Leicester won the league. Firstly, I now live in Leicester so have a very slight "home team" bias, except when they play Stoke. Secondly though, I am all for any "smaller" club winning the league or even just generally doing well, and I think it's fabulous that Leicester are doing as well as they are. Could they win it? Yes, I actually believe they could, because they are the only team in the league at the moment who are consistently "up for it", week in, week out...and that includes us sadly.

Reading some of the anti Leicester comments on here makes me glad there was no internet back in 1978 when Forest were promoted and won the title the following season.

I think they are decent value. People keep saying that they can't win the league but they are the most consistent team in it. Good luck to them, I say. They were 5000 to 1 before season started to win it and odds on to be relegated. Great init. It is mate,but they are a Vardy injury away from implosion in my opinion

5 points clear now; given all the inconsistency of the so called top clubs they must really be in with a chance now.
Not sure how I feel about it; its great to see a smaller, midlands side as unfashionable as Leicester in with a chance of at least Champions League football - but I want that to be us!!!!
We certainly can't be top midlands club again this season that's for sure so that's why its a slightly bitter pill.
Are Leicester bigger than us, is there any reason we couldn't do the same?? (well yes, they have strikers that score)
can you imagine Leicester at the Nou camp or the Bernabeu? On one hand you think they would be torn apart but you could see Messi coming up against a physicality he's not used to either
