A quick look at their respective run ins suggests Arsenal have a tougher fixtures and they're also competing in 3 competitions so advantage Leicester I reckon, but only just!
I wouldn't write off Man City or Tottenham either.

Diversion tactics. His mate probably had his socks and boots whilst that was going on.

Should've hooked Vardy and shut down after the red. Don't think CR got that right. Idiot free kick to give away I agree - although LCFC were on the ropes for the last 20 min's and you could see a goal coming.
Top of the table looks very different tonight and much as I hate to say it Spuds and Gooners are looking stronger then the Foxes to me.
Pundits are ruling City out which I think is a mistake as 12 games is enough for a title charge esp' as Kompany appears fit enough to stabilise their defence despite the loss today.

I like watching Schmeichel junior. Reminds me of his dad, especially the way he flings himself out like a demented starfish. Falkirk must be gutted they couldn't hold onto him, they had Krul for a while too.

Indeed - but the lad played well today and deserves credit. He definitely kept the score down in the last quarter of the game.
As an aside, what on Earth was Drinkwater (I think it was him) playing at in the dying minutes before the Gooners scored their second? In the Gooners corner with a couple of Gooners around him and I was thinking he would hold the ball and play for the corner and then he crosses to a lone Vardy in the box. Nothing comes of the cross. Ball goes up field followed by the foul and bang - Arsenal score. Bonkers! Much better imo to have settled for 1-1 and fanny about in the corner for as long as possible instead of going for the winner - esp' after the torrid time they were having.

He had a couple of cracking saves! The one near the end when he dived to his right unsighted showed incredible reflexes. Though he'd have been off the park if his sweeper style run had gone wrong...
How embarrassing was the Villa game? Ouch. Garde looks a broken man.

I stopped watching at 0-2 as I was getting 'footballed out) - watched a load yesterday and then the early game today and wanted to save myself for the late game!
Villa have gone! Shame really as it's a nice ground (old but homely) to visit and the fans are a decent bunch. Mind you we still need a few points for safety so who knows what next season will bring!

That's probably more than some at the game!
A friend of mine is a Villa fan. He's pretty much given up hope.
I could be making this up, but it seems recently that clubs have a sort of flourish before dropping down divisions or going bust, likes of Middlesbrough, Wigan, Blackpool, Portsmouth all spring to mind. Gretna up in Scotland too.

Have to agree with you. Looks like they've surrendered.
Shame as they've been in the EPL since it's inception, reducing the very exclusive list to 6.
