Sanguine Magic.
I've taken to watching Leicester games like Reading (or Liverpool) matches now.
Settled down on the sofa at just before 4 yesterday with a beer and some crisps and watched every minute.

It's so close now. But those last three games still look horrible.

Listening to Paddy Power a couple of weeks ago on Talksport, and they had Leicester as 6/5 to win at home - it was put to them that no other league leader would be 6/5 to win at home, to which they replied 'yes, but its Leicester'. Even this close, it still doesn't feel quite right!


Everton are shot to bits and no way will Chelsea let Tottenham win the league over Leicester on the last day and will do enough without being controversial to make sure the Foxes get the result they need. Expect Man Utd game to be a draw.

I wish every team well. It would be lovely if we could all win the league and just enjoy ourselves.

I've got PSG and Juve, but I guess they were local once.

I think even Spurs fans won't be too upset if Leicester hold on.
