Danny ROSE! Tottenham take 3 big points today. The Foxes best not slip. Also, good on Man U for winning a big game. ---

It isn’t often that i cheer a Man U victory, but this weekend was an exception. I guess those of us rooting for a Leicester title should probably be cheering for Arsenal in their Saturday game against Spurs. ---

Would you cheer on the Yankees just to give Toronto a better shot at a wildcard? Sheesh, supporting Arsenal over spurs so a different underdog does better? ---

I admit that it’s something of a dilemma. I’d definitely prefer Spurs over Arsenal, but the Leicester story would be so great that i’m willing to support whatever results help Leicester the most. ---

Well, at least you are conflicted. I wonder how Leicester fans would feel if they missed the top spot. Would they still be over the moon that they finished in Champions League places and had a magical season, or would they be upset that they came so close and missed? ---

Me too. It was weird wanting ManU to win. Btw im already fighting against the hero worship of Lashford that is coming our way. It’s no offense meant to the lad, I am well pleased for him, but I can picture the newspaper headlines already & all the guff soon to appear on football magazine shows. Has he been labelled \*wonderkid \*yet? ---

Looking at that starting XI gave new meaning to the phrase “Who the fuck are Man United?”. More importantly, thank you West Brom!! Spurs could go top of the table TODAY! On a completely unrelated note, I feel a nasty cold coming on. ---

Leicester opened the door yesterday, and Arsenal slammed it shut today. Only consolation is that Spurs also lost. It’s definitely time for Wenger to go. ---
