Well, this is not a Leicester thread, strictly a Spurs one !
Leicester have done really well this season, beyond anyone's predictions. Regardless of where they will finish this season, they are truly in title chase now. Was wondering who or what revived their form and was searching through their results to find out. It didn't take long to find out the real answer. No prizes for guessing who turned their form. It is not Ranieri, Vardy or Mahrez ! It is none other than the football specialists called Tottenham Hotspur FC (aka Football Charity) ! We actually revived their form and confidence last season !
Leicester were in shyte form and deep in relegation zone then, being without a league win in 8 matches, drawing 2, losing 6, scoring just 5 goals. Their only win during that period was ofcourse against Spurs away in the FA Cup when they scored 2 late goals to win 2-1. But still it was not enough to revive their league form. Then came the league match at WHL. We did beat them 4-3 but Leicester scored 3 goals away for the first time in the league ! By donating them the 3 goals, we gave them the belief and confidence that they CAN ! And they have never looked back since then, winning 7 of their remaining 9 matches last season, scoring 19 goals and finishing comfortably out of the relegation zone. And they have continued that form this season. Since playing us that day, they have played 26 league matches, winning 18, drawing 6 and losing just 2 (to Chelsea and Arsenal), scoring 56 goals !
So, we can pat ourselves in the back for reviving Leicester. This is why everyone just loves (to make fun of) Spurs ! Afterall, we always enjoy going around helping all the teams in trouble, don't we. It seems we inspire everyone except ourselves ! We better change this bad habit for once and bring Leicester back down to earth when we meet them twice in January !
