A slip by the goalkeeper and a penalty kick in the last few seconds gets Liverpool a win over Crystal Palace who seemed on the verge of victory only to suffer defeat. A heart breaking loss.

As a neutral, West Brom's ropey defence should not keep United out.

Leicester are winning the title, aren't they?

It's not over 'til it's over but what a story it would be !
 
His father (Sir Alex Ferguson) will insist he returns to the mighty Reds. £500,000 a week, piece of piss for United. Spurs are truly shocking I might add.
 
How long until Leicester choke?

We are 75% of the way thru the season. If this was the 1st week or so of December - you'd be right in asking that. But flukes don't lead with less than 10 games to go (10 for Man City).

They are 5 up on Tottenham, 8 on Arsenal and 7 on City (It is 10 but City has a game in hand so for argument's sake we'll give them that win and make it 7)..........with 27 points possible for all teams

That means no more than 23 points gets them the title. They have lost 3 games all season. Tottenham may have the EL to play for. Arsenal is in the CL but for only 1 more game so that is not a concern and depending on how they do Tuesday vs Hull in the FA they may only have the PL to worry about. City should advance in the CL so 1 more for them to worry about

Here is Leicester's last 9 games:

March 14: Newcastle
March 19: @ Crystal Palace
April 3: Southampton
April 10: @ Sunderland
April 17: West Ham
April 24: Swansea City
May 1: @ Man U
May 8: Everton
May 15: @ Chelsea

Newcastle is a walk over. Palace will not be but unless they show me something LC should win that one. Southampton should be a win. Sunderland will give them fits because Big Sam will "park the bus" and be happy with a 0-0 Draw. West Ham will be tough - Hammers have road wins over most of the top of the league and, as unreal as it may sound, might be playing for a CL spot. Swansea should be a win. At Man U should be a win because Man U will play into Leicester's hands and make a few stupid mistakes which will end up behind DeGea. Everton plays tough but always does something stupid to cost themselves the game. Chelsea might be meaningless because by then Leicester will have won the crown.

For anyone "without a horse in this race" Leicester is their team. One of my best friends is a Gooners fan and is pulling for Leicester if Arsenal cant win it - especially if Tottenham can because he'd rather have all his teeth pulled out w/o Novacaine than see Tottenham win (And I'm sure all Tottenham fans feel the same about Arsenal).

Leicester has been a great story and hopefully they hold on and win it all
 
I love the fact that any other year, my mob winning the title for the first time since 1961 would be viewed as a refreshing change from the situation where only 3 clubs (Chelsea, Man United, Man City) have split the last 11 titles, and 22 out of the last 23 have been won by one of only 4 clubs (as previous plus the Gooners) - however, in the increasingly unlikely event North London's best bottlers actually win the title, we'll instantly become the biggest bad guys in the land from preventing darling little Leicester from completing their Cinderella story.

Moot, obvs. I've got better chance of having a three-way with Rachel Starr and Kendra Lust than Spurs have of winning the title.

I think your chances are better than you think. I HOPE Leicester wins it. But I think your Spurs are still very alive. Being KOd from the EL means now, like Leicester, all they have to concern themselves with is the PL which is huge. No more flights to BFE for a Thursday game and then a PL game on Sunday. I think the title will still be TBD in Week 37 and maybe even 38.

Start saving up on Viagra - you just might need it? For me my dream 3-some of women in the industry would be: Bianca Breeze and Krystal Boyd
 
Leicester have the easier run-in. My mob have Chelsea away, Liverpool away, United at home. That's 9 points dropped already.

Is somewhere outhere.
I just checked, Watford are putting on a good show this season

Yeah. We've punched above our weight this season, and hopefully we'll get another season in the Prem. I think we've done enough to deserve it now. Hopefully a home win against Stoke tomorrow will seal it for us ;)
 
Chelsea away is a game where form counts for fuck all, they'll do us. Man United are a team we struggle against, always. Regardless of relative form at any given time we've only beaten them twice since 2001, both of those coming at Old Trafford. We aren't beating them. Liverpool.... ehhh.... if they defend against us the way they HAVE been defending, we could probably still do them. But they're really dangerous going forward.

It's Leicester's title.
 
Just checked, Leicester are still top, this is bizarre

...............and with Tottenham dropping 2 points at Liverpool on Saturday, Leicester can just about end it with a win Sunday over Southampton. But that won't be easy and if it also ends in a draw it won't shock me and if it ends in a draw that makes Leicester 5 up again but also allows Arsenal the chance to also pull within 5. I think Leicester wins another 1-0 kind of game
