i think they'll get 5 points out of their last 3
The betting markets for the Spurs vs West Brom game are... odd.
Kane is unsurprisingly favourite to score first at 13/5 but then the next 11 players are all Spurs. Clinton N'Jie - who hasn't played for Spurs this year - is 9/2. Harry Winks - who has never played for Spurs in the Premier League ever - is 10/1.
West Brom's first appearance is Saido Berahino at 14/1.

Not really, they will be referred to as the "champions" for the entire season...
Whatever happens next season Leicester have nothing to be ashamed of, unlike Chelsea, United, City etc. who have spent hundreds of millions over the last few seasons.
football wise its great for a small club to win the PL but I really cant get behind Leicester after how they have gotten there ( dodgy insolvency / phoenix companies ) and knowing several people that had their companies bankrupted by shady practices

Strictly speaking about the first part and football, it's astonishing and completely throws the rule book out of what you need to win these days. You can't just blame it on money or to the same degree just throw money at something and expect it to accomplish. There is no excuse for lazy managers/players/chairmans etc to blame it on financial shackles!
Leicester a team that costs probably peanuts with a matching wage structure, with a late blooming striker found in the lower leagues. And now a player that cost $500k winning the PFA award, going on to hopefully win the EPL and be in the Champs league next season.
It's quite amazing what they have gone and done!
So the goals do matter because that is all he can do at the best of times

I'm not really behind them, although it is cool there will be a new winner regardless of who it is, probably would prefer Spurs if it wasn't for the insufferable fans that will only escalate
their football is good and our game against them this season was probably the most enjoyable game I've watched this season and Poch is cool.But I think you're being a bit harsh, I imagine most clubs are involved in some horrible things. Didn't Liverpool basically force people out of their houses at Anfield for garbage money? I mean we've had Heysel, the denial of it by the club for years and I'm sure many other scummy things go on

No it isn't. How is it tough for a team at the top after 30 odd games to have to roll over Everton, a poor Manu side and a chelsea side nothing like the one from last year. Why do people keep saying that as though 2015 Leicester are playing someone. It's not, it's the team at that's lost a handful of games all year.
The Everton game is about as easy a game as they could have. A counter attacking team with pace rips are defence apart. Personally I think they will get 6 or 7 points from the last two. If they do drop any points I bet spurs do too.

Leicester has lost 3 games out of 35 they've played all season. These including Man City away, Arsenal away, Tottehham away, West Ham away. Why do people think they will get rolled over now?
Statistically they are only going to lose 1 more at most.
Tottenham is as inexperienced at winning the league as Leicester City are.

They have Norwich and Villa to play. Probably 2 of the only teams i'd expect us to be able to beat on current form. United won't win all of their remaining games so still expect us to limp into the champs league. Man City might play quite a weakened team too depending on their Champs League games.
I don't see Spurs winning all 4, will be close but can see Leicester pipping it.
On the other hand... isn't this the best performing Tottenham team and the worst performing Chelsea team for at least a decade?
Over the whole season? Yes. Since Hiddink took over? No. They're still capable of beating anyone when they can be bothered to play.
They lost twice to Arsenal and once to Liverpool, they've beaten Chelsea twice, drew with manu and beat Everton this season, I can't see them giving it up now.

No, they don't because even when he's scoring that is all he has. A great player in his role would have the goals and the ability. When Giroud was scoring I was still saying he wasn't good enough because the rest of his contribution was terrible. A better player is required full stop, goals or no goals.
We can lose a game 2-1 with Giroud scoring 1 but him not being good enough outside of that one goal to help the team win. That has always been his problem.
Also some quotes from Wenger in f365
This is why Wenger should not be our manager any more. What 4 months ago he was calling 4 'strikers' (only Giroud gets used as an out and out central striker) world class, today he's saying none are a 20 goal a year striker. Problem is Welbeck never once looked like one, Walcott clearly wasn't one by the time he was 20, Giroud never was one and Sanchez is debatable simply because I wouldn't really classify him as a striker and it's unlikely he'll score 20 most years.

Must be like 90% possession so far. No goal as yet. Chop chop.
