I wouldn't be so sure of that.

I still think Leicester are gonna lose 3 of their next 5 - my bet is on West Ham next, Manchester United and Everton.

Tottenham have a very easy remaining fixture list, and I can only see them dropping points against Southampton.

You heard it here first, it'll finish

Tottenham - 78
Leicester - 76

Heck, Arsenal may win their next 6, and finish with 77

If Leicester win the league I'll leave Smogon
 
Tottenham still have Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Newcastle's survival hopes are on the line at St.James' Park then that will be tricky too. Leicester City do have some difficult fixtures but can't ever count out a gritty 1-0 from them. Can't see Everton beating them with all the nonsense surrounding everything that has to do with the club.
 
United away is a possible loss, but they will run through Everton and Swansea and I think at worst a draw at West Ham, the title is wrapped up. Spurs won't get 3 wins out of Chelsea, Southampton and Stoke either.

I am interested how well they carry over to next season. They are 6th Favorite even behind Liverpool. I think they keep all of their players but they do not have the depth to also play in the Champions league, there is nothing to suggest Mahrez isn't a one season wonder either.

why is LvG still manager, he has no freaking clue.
bring off striker for a winger.. leave the striker that's on the pitch on the wing.. and put the winger up front.. all the while leaving a winger in the #10 role and the #10 player on the wing
can we get rid of this incompetence now.

Mahrez will leave and a couple others probably will too to get paid. It's who they bring in with the new money that will matter

But can he sub off a goalkeeper in the World Cup? :-P

Jokes aside, what you just described was whst Rodgers did last season and this season before he got sacked.
 
You do realise the team's performance on the pitch is much better now do you?
Klopp has allowed the attacking players to flourish. It's the stupid errors in defense and having an average GK that's costing the team points. Take De Gea into our team and our league position would be swapped.
 
Apparently, LvG plays Young as ST because he wants him to "run behind the lines". Has Young even played as CF before? I think you have everybody out of their usual positions. Let's see;
1) Martial (ST) at LW
2) Mata (CAM) at RW
3) Lingard (RW) at CAM
4) Fosu Mensah (CB) at DM
5) Blind (DM) at CB
6) Young (LW/RW) at ST
7) Rashford (LW/RW) at ST

Basically everyone except De Gea and Smalling have been shifted around seemingly at random. I think Rooney dropped into midfield several times too.
 
of course that clause exists.
guy costs the club millions of pounds for being shit at his job, he deserves less payoff for being fired.
and it means we get Jose.. and Zlatan its a win win.

and again, Young is a winger, Martial can run behind the lines, its just, once again, the stupid old duffer, experimenting when there is no reason to.

This result shows why Ibrahimovic isn't at Messi or Ronaldo's level. When PSG needs Ibrahimovic, he remains offside 90% of the time and does nothing of note. Meanwhile, Ronaldo grabbed a hat-trick to inspire his team to victory.
