For some reason Blackburn didn't seem AS surprising at the time, as Leicester does now?

I think in 95 people could still remember the likes of Aston Villa, Leeds and Everton winning and competing for titles in the 80s and early 90s. Norwich went close as well and Newcastle were therabouts just afterwards.

Since Blackburn won it Man Utd have totally dominated with 11 titles, Arsenal have 3, Chelsea 4 and Man City 2. The emergence of the 'top 4' arguably a 'top 6' now probably means someone gatecrashing that party is far more shocking that it was for a previous generation.

Every week that goes by people keep sayin there going to crumble at some point and they just arent. I like most am not a leicester fan but realy want them to go on and do it. There last 3 games are as hard as any thou. There fans must be feeling amazing,

I would normally but not at the expense of Spurs. Mind you, I would have been pretty happy with a top 4 finish at the start of the season.

[Danderhall Hibs]

If Leicester throw this away now it'd be a major collapse.

Something that's not been seen for almost 30 years.

Mahrez is brilliant. Could probably chose whatever team he wants to sign for next season and must be a cert for player of the year.

[Holmesdale Hibs]

I was at the game yesterday and was impressed with Leicester. Their main strength is speed and they certainly play to it. Vardy and Mahrez looked we pretty lethal and every time Palace attacked you feared Leicester would pick them off on the break.

They were a bit lucky at the end when Delaney hit the bar but fair play to them, they deserved to win and I hope they win the league.

They should win it - I certainly don't see any of their defenders as being the type to bottle it and let their team mates down.

Yeh, watched the highlights, Palace were actually quite unlucky, 2 or 3 good breaks but just the finishing was a bit off. I'd be really surprised if they got relegated, I think Pardew's quite a good manager and they certainly have enough quality to stay up then start building for next season. Just my opinion though. Would love to see Leicester win it this season though.

Leicester Citys owner is a billionaire.

Hope you're right mate, it's been a difficult couple of months with Hibs and Palace. If we do stay up, 17th and a trip to Wembley is a decent season for us and hopefully make a few signings over summer.

It's difficult to explain the run we're on but it's probably a combination of things - some bad luck, some bad performances, a few injuries but ultimately we don't have a top 10 squad and were overachieving early in the season.

Did they not sign Shearer and Sutton for obscene money at the time?

Why? What happened thirty years ago?

[Northernhibee]

I have to be honest, I think the fans staying behind singing "We're going to win the league" is the same "We go together" Liverpool moment. All of a sudden all of the pressure and expectation is right on Leicester's shoulders and I think they might collapse which would be a huge shame.

The Foxes could easily have dropped points yesterday. They have Lady Luck on their side big style.

They are so quick on the counter. So are the luckless Everton, whom I follow, but they are not as smart.

Difference is in the defending, Everton try to play football and get caught, Leicester kick it and head it away and haven't lost many goals since Christmas.

Blackburn were the big spenders at the time - it was not unexpected that they won the league. Still a great achievement by Dalglish to take a club with no recent tradition of success to the title in such a short time.

I thought the exact same. But then again fair play to them, they're just enjoying and laping up every moment of this fairytale and quite rightly so. They're never gonna be in this position again so can't blame them for making the most of it.

Not scoring many goals while Spurs seem to bang them in.

I think Spurs will do it.

I'm on a train back from Cheltenham with a load of Leicester fans. It's great listening to them singing all their songs and it makes me think that anything is possible. We're going to win the cup and get promoted this season.

This season though mate, they are Leicester, we are Hibs.

We do what we do.

Breaks my heart to say that.

Your optimism is admirable, wish I was the same mindset.

No but it does suggest they're closer to faltering than a team winning comfortably.

going against the grain, I could never support Leicester. during the miner's strike, 30 men from that coalfield went on strike to support the rest of us. they were dubbed the dirty thirty! the rest of the 2.5k men in that area continued to work, earning high wages in an affluent area in miners' terms, instead of supporting their comrades who fought for jobs, and their communities. and yet, the 2.5k, continued to live off the hard earned rights and conditions fought for over 70 years by the rest of the uk coalfield unions. might seem trivial, but if you were involved in anyway, you might understand. c'mon the Spurs.

I can't believe any professional football club would make such a mistake. It would be well-known, even famous, dare I suggest, if a club was to throw away a league challenge at this stage.

Gentlemen, let's face it, we need to give Leicester their place. It's not like they are going to go into their last game needing nothing more than a draw and hoping Arsenal don't score a bucketload against a feisty opponent......

[Smartie]

I just had a wee look at the remaining fixtures for Spurs and Leicester.

A tough next 3 games for Spurs - Liverpool away, Man United at home, Stoke away.

On paper Leicester's remaining games look easier but they've never been in this position before. TBF neither have Spurs.

For the first time in years though I'm actually interested in the English Premier League.

[monktonharp]

Tottenham Hotspur, have been top division champions before. been a while, but they will do it
