He looks more like Zangief from Street Fighter II.

Dropped two points yesterday - and today all three chasing clubs loose. With their good fortune they got to win the league this season.

Having decided at the turn of the year that the reverse fixtures and a thin squad would find Leicester out, it now seems clear that they are favourites for the Premier League title. Lady Luck has not only smiled on them with the way fixtures have fallen (which has allowed them to gain confidence and their opponents to develop fear of them), but she also seems to have shagged every member of the squad as the have got away with very few injuries. Coupled with that, whenever they do slip up their challengers fail to take the opportunity that is handed to them on a plate. Arsenal and Spurs do not seem to have have the mental strength to hold their nerve.

All this and they lost their Player of the Year from last season - Cambiasso.
It's like their team is made up of eleven Ian Wrights.
I hope they do it even though i bet against them

Spurs and Arse draw 2-2 today. If Leicester can win at Watford later they will have one hand on the trophy!
Won 0-1! Regardless of any history you got to admire
the way they upsetting the PL 'establishment.' Now 20 points ahead of the current champions!

Leicester now 5 points clear at the top. I still hope they go all the way and upset all the tourist and plastic fans of the big four.

Would like them to fail, why ? Don't think they play the most attractive of football, don't think they are that bigger than us. Just happy that a two bob club who may win the title are not close to us in proximity.Midlands clubs must have be sick of it. It's the equivalent to say qpr winning it. It's only recent that they have grown. Enjoy watching spurs more actually. Hope Spurs win it. Arsenal deserve nothing,miss managed bunch of wannabes.Hope we do them, as Alan said after the lucky win at the King power ,we will remember that , they have to come to our place.

It's killing me Leicester doing this well. I live and work there so know lots of their fans and they've been unbearable since April last season. I'm desperate for it to go wrong for them

You can't take it away from them, they have been totally constant this season.
And that is the reason they are where they are. Arsenal, Man City have been inconsistent, whilst Liverpool and Man Utd have been even more inconsistent. Spurs have been on a good run recently, but will they falter ?
Leicester have been very fortunate with injuries though. Long term injuries to Mahrez, Vardy or Drinkwater and they might not have been so consistent.

7 points clear, and 6 games till the entire plastic population of the big 5 end up throwing away their replica shirts.

There was a thing on BBC breakfast the other day about fans in Thailand all disowning their Manchester United shirts for Leicester ones. 12 months ago the club shop was closed and going out of business, now the shirts have sold out. Fickle, fair weather

Great achievement, maybe the greatest achievement since the inception of the Moneybags league (probably eclipsing Blackburn's achievement). It'll be interesting if they can keep their squad more or less intact, because Blackburn couldn't.
But its a massive achievement and an inspiration to the league, that financial domination isn't everything, that good players can be found elsewhere.

Easily eclipses Blackburn. They had spent best part of £9m on their two first team strikers of that year, never mind the rest of the squad and that was over 20 years ago.

Warmest congratulations to Leicester City on their tremendous achievement. They proved millions wrong and for many a month many were expecting what they believed would be an inevitable collapse and a spectacular "Fall from grace".
To think that Leicester were bottom at Christmas in 2014 but were top at Christmas in 2015 and were many peoples favourites for relegation particularly after Ranieri was appointed.What a fantastic story.
