Champions League and FA Cup are going to take a lot out of this Leicester side, they're in big trouble now.

They were always going to be in big trouble, I had a £20 bet with a guy at work that they'd finish bottom half of the table. He was adamant they would finish in the top 10 :D

I wouldnt be surprised if they get knocked out in the next round of both to be honest

Sevilla are a really decent team (didnt they beat Liverpool in the Europa final last season? and won the last three) - ok so Leicester have an easyish tie in the FA Cup away to Milwall but after that it will probably be much tougher

I really dont think the cups are going to make much difference.....but they are certainly in a fight until the end of the season
 
There's no point sticking with him if he's going to end up taking them down, whatever he is doing isn't working a new manager with new ideas and new manager bounce might help them to stay up.

After this season you have to wonder how much of last season was down to him riding the wave that Nigel Pearson had set in motion to keep them up the previous season.

Sky commentary said the last time it happened was Man City about 80 year ago.

Same, I'm pretty narked today at Arsenal or Spurs for not taking the inititive and making a fight of it. I cannot believe how this is being handed to Leicester. Even when they drop points the others are falling over themselves to fail.

I thought they would drop off but the others are making it almost impossible for them not to win the league. I'm sure next year they will set another record, champions to relegated.

I don't find them that interesting or entertaining to watch and Vardy is just this years Phillips. The shame though rests with the rest of the shower of **** letting such mediocrity challenge.

Should have put my money where my mouth was :D

Well all I know is that my £40 @ 25/1 on them to get relegated is looking good. Next few fixtures are not great either.

I'd like to know exactly when you made that bet.

I wish I'd put a wager on it when they won the premiership last season to be relegated the next. I knew it was going to happen and gutted I didn't back myself! :p
 
Not sure if Leicester will get relegated, I have a feeling that like Sunderland they will survive come the last day.

But then what do I know lol, I had a bet with my mate last yr that Arsenal would walk the title lol.
