Lloris is so overrated. Concedes too many soft goals.

Dont know why Shearer and Spurs fans think he is up there with De Gea and Neuer.

7pts.

Crowd was absolutely awful tonight, and the players fed off the anxiety I think. Heads went. We could barely string a pass together in the second half.

Congratulations to Leicester, though. Deserved champions, they have no quit in them.

When you crush GMgoran and Baphomet's title dreams in 2 of the last 3 seasons.

Oh damn those shots of Spuds fans around the stadium

Even if we won it wasn't going to happen. But No_20 can continue to live vicariously through the misery of other fans to cover up HSV's own failings.

The title was lost with games like the losses against Newcastle & West Ham, draws against Arsenal, etc.

Damn dude, that's harsh.

The only harsh thing is being put in the same category as GMgoran :lol:

I guess it's time for United to do Leicester a favor and win at Old trafford so they can in the title at home!! :lol:

I believe a tie their isn't enough to seal it because of goal differential?

WBA f***ing us over in August and in late April. Fitting.

Spurs forums melting hard rn, with crashes all over the place.

"But I'll tell ya - you can tell him now if you're watching it - we're still fighting for this title, and he's got to go to Man United and get something, and... and I tell you honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it."

Look at you trying to make out as if we've somehow bottled it. Keegan's meltdown happened after United eroded Newcastle's 12 point lead at the top. We were top for what... all of 10 minutes during the Arsenal match this season?

Spare your barbs for real bottlers like Arsenal.

Pulis is a piece of work. Saying he prefers Leicester to win the league. So disrespectful to an opponent. I would be pissed.

My Dad is a West Brom fan. In fact, almost everyone in my family is either a West Brom or Leicester fan. I've entered a whole new dimension of pain. :noway:

Kind of stupid to give Vardy another game, but I guess it adds a little extra drama and ratings for the final few matches

there is no more drama, it is not if but when for leicester

Looks like neither Kane nor Vardy won after all

Think this is a fair outcome, both are deserving winners.

No. they are going to fight out the golden boot award for the Euros.

Despite your age, I'm glad that the England teams throughout the years haven't left you a pessimist

Thought at this point you'd have absolutely no faith in England whatsoever like the rest of us

When you've been a Leicester fan for half a century, you learn always to be optimistic before the start of a campaign. If not life would be very sad.

I wasn't very optimistic during the qualifiers as we had a stodgy, old, boring team but the rise of the Spurs and Leicester young guns and the attractive attacking football they've brought that actually works with speed and skill has allowed me to hope for better things.

I couldn't watch it as I was travelling but that was what I was hoping for from Stoke and expecting from Southampton. Again it shows the competitivity of the EPL on a weekly basis this year. There are some poor teams but they are capable of getting results any week of the season.

The league title is about consistency and getting the points over 9/10 months. Spurs have been on an incredible run but the law of averages said that it couldn't continue every week, even if the eyes thought it could.

Leicester have only lost 1 league game in 4 months and even there we were winning before we had a player sent off.
