I thought Leicester might win on Sunday.
Might shade it, might nick it.
The Foxes are good at defending a lead.
However, Arsenal could also win it 1-0. But they’re not as good at defending a lead as Leicester.
Vardy, Mahrez and Kante are putting Leicester on the map, whereas London is already on the map. Has been for 200 years or more. The Luftwaffe certainly knew where it was 70 years ago.
Leicester has been an anonymous town where football fans looked down the road and thought: They’ve got Robin Hood and Brian Clough, we’ve got nobody.
Then King Richard III was dug up from a car park and reinterred in Leicester Cathedral and that has, strangely, produced a feelgood factor which the football club has built on.
Have you noticed that nobody has any time anymore?
Yesterday I didn’t have time to mention that Manchester United’s first goal against Stoke, scored by Jesse Lingard, was a Denis Law goal.
Rooney’s touch took the ball behind Lingard, but the kid spun round, lost his left foot but somehow lashed it inside the post with his right.
A fantastic reflex goal. Very Denis Law and I’m sure Denis saw it and loved it
