Villa play us , PSG, Man City and a FA cup semi final in the space of 11 days . Thats why I am not overly concerned by them as they just have so much going on. Besides if we win our next two we will go into that Villa game with a nice 5 point cushion over them anyway .

Man United at home and the only slight doubt I have about us winning is that we get complacent and don't turn up, how times have changed .

He finished 5th twice though and won them an FA cup, aside from the title winning season that's as good as anyone has ever done for Leicester. Always thought it was strange the way the fans turned on him, now look at the mess they are in.

Yep but that's different apparently.

Win the next two games and this time next week we will be 5th at worst with a game in hand over all the teams around us .

They still hate us , I work in Boro and they were absolutely desperate for Liverpool to beat us in the final and are gutted that we won. It's just such a weird one way rivalry. They also reckon they would never accept Saudi money like we have .

It's a shambles , 50% off is an insult really. It should be a full refund at the absolute bare minimum.

Could you not have returned it for a full refund and bought a new one from the shop ?

With the fixtures we have left and after watching how poor both Chelsea and Man City have looked today I really think a top 5 spot is ours to lose .

When you look at the squads City ,Villa and Chelsea have plus the money they have spent it's mental that we are competing with them really .

Still in our hands , what other teams do is irrelevant really as if we win all our home games and beat Leicester it will be enough for top 5 regardless of other results .

What did he say about Isak ?

Same , I emailed them to cancel as I got sick of waiting and bought one from the shop instead. They told me they can't cancel it but also at the same time they have no idea when I will receive it . I get demand has been high but surely if it's nowhere near ready to be sent then they should be letting me cancel it. They said I could return it though when I did receive it which was nice of them .

Everyone raves about the job Emery has done at Villa and call him an elite coach which is right . Yet Eddie will have finished ahead of him twice in three seasons if we do this year whilst also winning a cup in that time . Eddie started from a much worse position than Emery as well and we haven't been able to strengthen our squad for two years whilst they also have a much stronger squad now in terms of depth than we do.

Villa beating Forest on Saturday isn't necessarily a bad thing either , we beat Leicester and we are only four behind Forest with a game in hand . As others have said Villa do have a much better overall squad than us for the run in but they are bound to drop points with the cup distractions so I'm still not worried about them .

He's not far behind Isak at all for me in terms of how good he is , only slight criticism is he can give the ball away easily at times but if he can cut that out he can certainly be on a par with Isak. They are both comfortably our two best and most important players though.

They just need like some form of comfort blanket that makes them seem relevant that's what it is. They know nobody else in the country really cares about them and they are always seen as a smaller less prominent version of Newcastle so will cling onto anything they think makes them relevant.

Pointless worrying about other teams , if we win our 5 home games and beat Leicester we will finish top 5. It's in our hands .

Anyone still waiting on the cup winners shirt ? Ordered two weeks ago and still not arrived .

I think Forest have got one of them champions league spots in the bag now. They have a decent run in as well. Us , Man City and Chelsea fighting for the two other spots . Villa have a really tough run in not to mention the other two cup competitions they are still in distracting them . It's in our hands though , win the games we should and we get top 5.

Don't disagree with a lot of that list really but I wouldn't have Celtic or Rangers in it, certainly not above any of them English teams as the SPL has been a complete joke for a long time now .

Yeah always cringe when that one gets sung, makes us look small time as well.

I won't be doing the Town Moor , bus parade then back to the pub.

Liverpool mate is adamant they won't be in for Isak , says the owners will never spend that amount of money on one player and they need other upgrades in the squad anyway .
