I know, but it's been 4 successive seasons now. It just isn't enjoyable and this is far worse than the great escape season in terms of points. Remember, Swansea are 8 points clear. That only really leaves Newcastle and if they beat Chelsea on Saturday and we lose to Man U (very likely) I honestly think there is no coming back. I said six from 15 but those games are gone now. The way it is looking, we may need to win half of our games to stay up and even then we may need 7 wins if it goes right to the end.

Apart from that I'm quite confident!

I told you Palace will give up the three points, just make sure your team or a certain player is on a bad run with a particular stat and Palace will do all they can to rectify that stat.

Apart from that, huh? Hilarious.

S***! Danny Graham and Fletcher have both left! They would have been ideal.

[Geoff D]

You're right, Graham would've probably scored a hat trick!!

Brilliant!

Living up to its name, Super Sunday has all top four teams clashing together, things might end up looking very different after this weekend.

Don't think you will beat Arsenal looking forward to the 3 games knocked the girlfriend on the head gonna watch the 3 games then bring her out for Valentines Day!

Adidas dropped Johnson he would have looked great in the Predator boots!

Predator boots, so great! Haha.

Arsenal are the only team to have beaten us this season, that we haven't returned in kind, so we have it all to prove on Sunday. Kinda like the City game last week, it can go either way. If Arsenal actually turn up, I can see us getting destroyed (again) but Arsenal have the tendency to really fluff it at key moments. Plus we proved against City that our pace, our technique and attack is nothing to sniff at and no fluke. Arsenal are going to have to either park the bus, or try and out attack and out pace us like last time again and hope we haven't learnt anything from last time.

Have Arsenal down with a 2-1 win but Vardy will cause mertesacker all sort of problems running in behind he's as slow as anything I've ever seen.

I'm sure you would snap my hand off if I offered you a point now.

With the lead we already have, and the kind of teams we are playing right now, I'd take a point!

[Steedeel]

We have sacked Johnson in the last few hours.

Yeah, very original. Only heard that one 500 times over the last 18 months at the stadium.

You have spelt it wrong by the way.

I can't believe you played him even while it was all ongoing.

Why? Innocent until proven guilty. The club did the right thing then and they have done the right thing now.

Yep, Arsenal keep wilting at the big moments which is why their tilts at the league keep running out of puff. One minute they're the Harlem Globetrotters, the next they're getting battered 4-0 by Southampton. If I were you I'd be made up with a point too, if only because it maintains the gap between youse. A win would be priceless though and Leicester can do it too, but as you say: depends on who turns up. I know who I'm rooting for though!

Fair, but it's now made the club look bad that it actually turned to be true and considering he was released on bail in the first place surely said it all.

Only one person looks bad in this IMO.

The club has played this right.

You have to wonder what Leicester winning the league will mean for the Premier League, if it does happen. There are plenty of concerns, some more genuine than others, about the increasingly "Detached" value of money in football from the real world. Man City's starting eleven cost something like two hundred million more than Leicester's, we played them to a draw and then beat them three one. In modern football, there has yet to really be a problem money cant fix, but if we break that rule, what then? And if that inspires them to take another look at the kind of money across football, what happens then? Could the doomsayers so called "football financial implosion" be closer than we realise? Or could Leicester potentially draw it closer inadvertently?
