Will Leicester win the title at Old Trafford this weekend?

Players need to learn that they cannot abuse the ref and get in their faces. It would be a lot better situation if it was like rugby and you heard what the ref and players were saying it would soon cut out what goes on. Also the situation with grappling and grabbing while defending in the area needs to be dealt with.

I fully agree with retospective punishment for players. Just because the ref does not see something does not mean players should get away with it.

@dryrain: Retrospective punishment is very biased. The cameras cant be everywhere and usually follow a popular player not just the run of play. My point is that if they are gonna use video tech then it needs to be in game. Also, why dont the shirt grabbers n foulers get after match yellow cards or red cards? We can clearly see all those aswell. It just feels biased and hypocritical.

@themcnoisy: I actually think United are going to beat Leicester on Sunday. Just a hunch.

@dryrain: This argument is almost invalid. In recent times there are countless reports of rugby players arguing and approaching the ref. Sports + promise of cash = cheats and lack of morals.

@get2sammyb: I do to, can see Leicester lifting the trophy against Everton the following week.

So Leicester drew at Old Trafford making a slight slip by Tottenham lose them the title.

Huge game, pity its overshadowed by the heroics of Ding in the Snooker World Championships A reported 500 million people have tuned into the game from China!

@themcnoisy: I don't usually watch snooker but I've been following it this time around. It's crazy to imagine that almost half of China's population are watching!

Also, Liverpool's match. Awful awful awful. I get that we played a team of youngsters, and I get that we've lost Sakho, Can, Henderson, and Origi, but with the team we played yesterday we could've at least earned a draw. Our defence was all over the place, Brad Smith (who's usually a really promising player) was practically nowhere, and Jordan Ibe seems to have regressed over the past couple months. I'm really worried for Thursday now.

I'm just glad I watched my local non-league club get promoted on Saturday, much better atmosphere and the tickets were only £3!

Well done, Leicester!

Champions

Leicester City

🏆

Ranieri is a genius, I couldn't manage that in Footy Manager with cheats.

@Kyroki: Everyone loves an underdog - except when the underdog beats you......

Its a great story, there are only a handful of underdog stories on this scale in the history of Football - such as Nottingham Forests rise to European champions in the 70s or Denmark winning the Euros, both for me are bigger than Leicesters achievement - but not by much.

Well done Leicester - But no they wont win the season next year.

Everton are gonna do it!

@Kyroki: no time for sour grapes. Leicester deserved it. Show some humility . They won the title without spending big money. They deserve respect. You're obviously a North london born an bred supporter so i can understand you being upset.

Some happy happy people in my city right now. Never thought i would see this in my lifetime. Good times

Manchester City are out meaning an all Spanish European Cup Final...... again.

I do wish teams from the same country were forced to play each other earlier in the knockouts. Its boring, we well as may be watching La Liga. I doubt I will even look for the score.

On another note, there could still be an all Spanish Europa League final..... Oh no.

Leciester have shown what team spirit and a good manager can achieve. No matter what happens for the next 30 years with the club their story will be told. There was a point where I would have liked seeing Spurs win the title but after seeing how they played against Chelsea I was happy Leicester got the title. The manager was out of order going on the pitch and probably 3 playes should have been sent off. The referee and lines people had a terrible night and it was not a good example of the Premiere League. Rose apologised without apologising. Saying sorry for how it looked on the camera.

Next season we will go back to the staus quo of the teams that spend the most money on wages and transfer being in the top 4. Arsenal fans will moan about Wenger who never wins the league but does get them in the champions league every season. Not many teams have that kind of consistency.

@dryrain:
I thought the Chelsea v Tottenham game was brilliant. But it crossed the line on multiple occasions.

Will Liverpool win tonight? I think the score will be 2-1.

@themcnoisy yeah the game and action was good but poor discipline let Spurs down. Being up for a game is great but that passion needs to be controlled.

@themcnoisy: Boy I hope so. I'm thinking a draw, but as long as Can is fit and Sturridge is playing then we should be OK, providing we don't have any defensive problems

Another great European night at Anfield - 3-0 victory taking LFC into the Final!!! Come on you REDS!!!!

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your hearts and you'll never walk alone!

Superb, we destroyed villareal with ease!

Well done Liverpool, enjoy the final.

I have no idea how your club continually does well, any thoughts?
