    Yeah, but Chelsea is a demoralized team with nothing to play for.

    Of course, anything could happen. But I'm backing Leicester to pull together and get their win. They've gotten wins when Vardy has failed to score.

    I'm also hoping Stoke can pull off something tomorrow.

    No, I think you're right. His personality has been more exposed over the last year or two - less concealing charm, more unpleasantness. According to a recent newspaper article, his method of motivating individual players is to foster rivalries within the squad. That's too Machiavellian for many tastes. He's a shrewd football tactician but the personal politics is tiresome and can be toxic.

    He might well gather more points than Van Gaal but I'd still be saddened by his appointment at United. Trouble is, there aren't many really convincing alternatives. I'd give Giggs a chance to fail.

    Vardy charged with improper conduct, faces additional suspension. Leicester also charged.

    Feels like they're trying to scuttle their title run. Utter bullshit.

Size:  91.3 KB i think that could be described as 'improper conduct ' and add to that the verbal abuse of a player -quite right he should be sanctioned further -just a shame these cards for diving have started to come so late in the season - a straight red for diving would make the cheats think about it

    Costa did less and was issued the same improper conduct charge. I want to see LCFC win the league but it's on them to keep their heads no matter how the ref calls the game.

    i just hope the powers that be are not affected in their judgement by as Raza puts it the perception that they are deliberately 'scuttling ' Leicester in doing so

    lets not get carried away by Leicester's romantic dream -they are not entitled to be champions - they may well be and they have performed miracles certainly -my hope is they and spurs do not win another game and we take it

    A little bit of finger pointing and yelling is hardly worth a suspension unless he used racial slurs or bit someone or something. Even then, I'm not convinced, especially in the case of biting.

    Alli just missed an open goal with all the time in the world! Spurs are still going to win, but who is he? Benteke?
