“Good results have instilled confidence and now we’re all reading about the most incredible footballing story of the last 30 years”.
“Football is very odd”.
“At this moment you don’t think this. Why?”
“Tottenham are not giving up and we have to stay focused”. There are five games to go and it’s in our hands.
Frenchman N’Golo Kante is another that has received huge plaudits and the midfielder, along with Vardy and Mahrez, is on the shortlist for the Professional Footballers’ Association Players’ Player of the Year award.

However, 11 of Leicester’s 14 clean sheets have come in their last 15 league matches. I love the music.
