Ah, think I was getting confused with the FA Cup.
I think that 'runaway leaders' tag has somewhat clouded peoples assessments of where 'we' (i.e. Leicester) are at. Both QPR and Sunderland recently shown Leicester's weaknesses. From my perspective (as a Leicester fan) Leicester did well to compete with a quality and in form Leeds side, a side that would have beaten a number of Prem sides last night.
Leicester are a changed side, if not entirely in personnel (though greatly there too) then in style and tactics. They're still on a learning curve and one on which last night's game played a valuable part, not least in reminding all (Leicester fans included) that they are nowhere near the finished article. They've had a brilliant start to the season, and set whatever records, but there's been a huge caveat to it that's not been seen. Pundits have talked us up and it's painted a distorted picture.

What is all this stuff about wearing chinos to watch a match?!? (Crowds heckling opposition fans, often quite tunefully).
I suspect it's just an in-joke that's found legs, but I would like to know if there's anything that actually started it ... :P

I had to google that and found a clip on Saturdays championship match between Leeds United and Plymouth argyll.
Leeds fans giving some Argyll supporter grief about his chinos.Found it quite funny and just a bit of banter between opposing supporters.

Yeah, that's the one that I saw! It was just fun banter.
But from the comments, it seemed like this was already A Thing before that game. I may be wrong - football chants are mysterious beasts ... !

Stone Island chinos etc were a thing for wannabe football hooligans in the 90's.

I see dirty Leeds were lucky last night at Lycester.what a result.Beating runaway leaders at their own ground what a boost.
the are a bit less runaway now having spurned some good chances on Teesside before getting a lesson in how to bury a freekick from one your loanee's Sam Greenwood.

Good to see Scotland salvaging a draw against a tricky Georgia side. The ref was a disgrace, as was some of the Georgian playacting.
