Who needs Jamie Vardy? Only 5 points away from the title now. They could win it in Manchester next Sunday if Tottenham lose or draw tomorrow. That would be pretty special to see a team like Leicester win it at such a historic stadium.

Well it's a matter of when, not if. Leicester will win the title. I hope they win it on their own so we can see the immediate celebration.

since the special one has already been hired, leicester winning the title at old trafford would be the perfect chance for the red devils to fire LVG.

but i could see them keeping him around for the FA cup final just for consistency.

Broadcast of Everton-Bournemouth match at Goodison Park showed a banner being flown over the stadium saying that Roberto has to go.

Can't say I'm surprised as the unrest from the fan base has gotten stronger as the season has gone on.

He's gone. The Toffees have had a very disappointing season and they have some talent. That said, I admire Martinez, the person. Very likeable, well spoken, experienced, compelling history. Something's wrong with his team. He's had plenty of time to right the ship. He deserves to go.

First time I'm ever saying this, but I hope Chelsea lose tomorrow. I would like to see Leicester celebrate winning the title, rather than seeing another team win it for them.

Not a Chelsea fan, so I have no problem with them losing. But, yeah, I'd love to see LC win it by playing.

would be fun seeing them win it at stamford bridge.

but i'm not giving up hope of a st. totteringham's day this year. it's a long shot but still possible.

i was referring to leicester playing at stamford bridge on the last match of the season.

looks like tot'num has a solid lead in a very edgy match.

...or not!

eden hazard scores the title deciding goal for the second year in a row.

leicester city have won!

Spurs totally lost their composure. Last ten minutes was brutal. Lamela's going to be suspended. Maybe Dyer too. He should, anyway.

Hats off to LC.

Somebody name an upset in sports history that's even close to this.

The Miracle on Ice was one game. Chaminade beating Virginia was one game. Leicester defied the odds over and over and over and over and over again for months and months, and in the end, they didn't just win it, they coasted to the title. I've never seen anything like it.

Truly unbelievable! Can't wait to see what Leicester's management will do this offseason. Must take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

it was arguably a down year for the premier league for a team to clinch with the lowest point total since the 90s. but well done to leicester for accomplishing this season what so many other "big clubs" could not.

last season leicester spent 140 days in last place, the most of any team that survived relegation.

well done to ranieri, vardy, mahrez, kante, drinkwater, albrighton and all the other boys. if arsenal couldn't win it, i'm glad it was you.
