Premier League hangover: Leicester City on the edge of true glory Sporting

"Dreams come true and without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them" by John Updike.

The great American writer Wes Morgan had probably not keep in his mind when he encourages people to their dreams.

Very high half heads rarely in discussions about the sport and its mid transcendental qualities strapping. Maybe they should.

Can stop to win the title someone Leicester City?

Because when Leicester City Security four victories they must win victory against Southampton the title of the Premier League after Sunday's lead seven points undertook with six games, all published in the sports books and the ability to surprise a revised edition includes a new chapter.

In general, it is difficult to know now if you witness something true sporting significance. Events that stand the test of time are rare to the point to be somewhat greater than the parameters of a particular sport, where a story like Leicester you must remember that they have not become extinct.

Hugh McIlvanney need you not to say, what happens is something very special.

Updike is best known his series "Rabbit", which tells the story of Everyman character Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, a former star basketball school which is their sporting ambitions.

Updike wrote novels today, he could be in an entirely different story Angstrom have game for Leicester City. After showing some mutually Claudio Ranieri Everyman quality. When Robert Huth was an award-winning butcher in the hereafter, rising a few eyebrows.

Unlike rabbits, fox show no signs of caught in the headlights.

We are now at the stage of the season when he is allowed to leave the box mathematician resident in the Premier League.

When the second Tottenham Hotspur win their last six games, they will finish the season with 80 points. With Leicester currently 69 points, they have 12 more before Morgan is sure to get their hands on the silverware.

If Tottenham on Sunday played at White Hart Lane against Manchester United, Leicester is 10 points clear if they win at Sunderland.

Leicester Master of the Premier League was crowned, as they play in the May 1 Manchester United when they lost Sunderland, West Ham United and Swansea City in the next three games. And why should not they? In the last 12 months they received 18 points more than any other club.

Of course, when the Spurs to lose here points to Leicester trip to Old Trafford, the race could be even earlier.

Leicester can afford one third of their remaining games to lose and still win the championship, although their closest rivals win all his. You read that back and let it sink in.

It is only audible choking topic seems to come from Manchester and the red side of North London.

For a man, the coffin is probably laugh was heard in his own funeral, Ranieri seemed unusually tense before the match on Sunday.

A pre-match interview with Sky Sports channels is still to endure a contractual obligation, instead of enjoying. Nevertheless, Italian, generally large shortage seemed irritated, especially on the question of what effect the draw at Liverpool Tottenham in the game on their side.

At least it gave the local fans a free drink (and donate) to neutralize the nerve, as President Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha Leicester the world's largest tour purchased on Sunday to celebrate his birthday the next day.

Leicester fans responded overflown by an aircraft in style with a message of "Happy Birthday". Football fans want the same standards in a president? Wake Me Updike, literally sleep.

As birthday gifts go, a fourth 1-0 win in a row (fifth in six games), with exactly the same starting lineup for the fourth game, it is hard to beat. Foxes by that won seven times this season points. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, Sir Alex Ferguson has spoken of how titles are won by narrow margins.

"We have won eight games won by 1-0 and the championship," Ferguson 1995-1996 champion, Manchester United said that if she checked the Newcastle United at the summit. "It is looking to gain league games without any problems."

No team in the Premier League by a solitary goal as Leicester 14 won more games.

Ranieri made 25 changes to his side throughout the season, 14 less than any other team in the Premier League. From the grandstand in the sky, was channeled Bill Shankly Jim Royle muttering to anyone who wants to hear: "Squad game, my ass."

Sunday's game was tense, as all games to tend in a title run-in. There was little difference in the performance of Leicester at the weekend that many Chelsea in the last part of his campaign title last season.

A day earlier, the draw for Spurs at Anfield was also tense. By contrast, Leicester has the job.

The winning goal came 38 minutes Morgan shortly after the controversial incident of the game when Southampton insisted that a penalty should have been. see play in Sadio Mane cutely A smart attack against Graziano Pelle, after passing Kasper Schmeichel Danny Simpson had arm block your shot at an attainable goal along the way.

Referee Michael Oliver ruled that involuntarily, Ronald Koeman on the side steam more shoulder steak on a sizzling skillet emitted. If he had a hand, he would have continued the officer on the field with him as Laurel and Hardy sketch.

His mood was only alleviated when Morgan after Jordy Clasie dominant competition was established in the biggest change since Julia Roberts married Lyle Lovett against a peach to plant a header past Fraser Forster Immaculate.

Leicester iconic and versatile good egg captain was touch and go game due to illness. He got out of bed to keep a remarkable career to have played in this season every minute. Not a bad time to score the first goal of the season, either.

Someone I know it's not true that I thought, "Morgan certainly could do a job for England in the Euro" before not forget that he, after he could be playing the summer for Jamaica tired both in the Gold Cup and Copa America.

Morgan can for England not qualify, but Marc Albrighton is. With regard to virtually play all announced Leicester as an unknown player in this season for his country at the end, seems a little rough Roy Hodgson, if not at least take a look. Of course, overshadowed Sunday, a jaded Riyad Mahrez.

Algeria seems knackered so it would be no surprise if he intervened directly in the plane for your summer vacation with your kit. Instead Albrighton with his incisive diagonal in and distribution of Steve Guppy-esque is in top - form. A rabbit-based East Midlands will almost certainly missing Duracell.

To borrow again Updike once said that "celebrity is a mask that eats into the face", that is when we realize noted spoken with any kind of respect, the temptation will be to change to a different form is the perception of what we are.

What Leicester, made a man is to resist the temptation. It has often been asked Ranieri and his players this season, if they know how good they are. Just as important - if less said - it is that its limits appreciate.

Morgan Huth labor and a union because they do not accept Franco Baresi and Franz Beckenbauer. Perhaps they are a ball like John Stones happen unable, but if Everton man was half the defense one of them, the Toffees goals against column would be much healthier.

Leicester defense almost from the moment he could be achieved - and was described as "desperate". By their nature, but not always hopeless defend? Perhaps the reason lies Leicester both benefit shutouts. Maybe "unrepentant", summarizes best how to defend their goal.

Southampton has a territorial pressure in Leicester had before and after Morgan goal, but with the exception of an excellent Schmeichel switch on the stretch of road José Fonte speculative, it is difficult to remember the Dane a stop of the note.

The purpose of the opposition, Forster was one of the stops of the season in the second half, when he staggered back to save his captain loop Fonte blushed when Danny Drinkwater cross into his own net.

Leicester would have been out of sight Forster had not been at his sharpest to deny Simpson, who turned the center of the goal of no more than a few feet found to be an excellent tackler. Vardy was this time rejected by his teammate in England with a fine stop with an outstretched boot.

Leicester is the best team in the league; they are not the best players.

Stories like Vardy wore her boots on bread and stale strawberry laces just a few years, and as he only played Mahrez previously with a ball of a head of cabbage in a sock that come to England before, bear any story. However cynical about the history of Leicester says more about the cynicism of. the object of their ridicule, but mild, it may be

There are no megalomania side of Leicester, which is something to see. At a time when a bad full backup of the Premier League, a collection of watches have a value of more than one household size, which is quite the performance of Ranieri, his staff and the players themselves.

Vardy and Shinji Okazaki the sound from the front.

Perhaps the few workers attack and Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish as the work of Leicester from front to back is contagious.

The description of striker Alan Hansen Liverpool in his autobiography a matter of opinion, at a time when the Reds prevailed, also applies to Leicester.

The way Liverpool Leicester tried hard to make it, for the teams over - compress the game and the other half the opposition time and space to refuse on the ball, to settle there - everyone involved.

The strikers were important as any in this area; In fact, in situations where the lost Leicester Liverpool the ball on the penalty spot, our players before, closer to the ball of the starting point of these were "Press play."

I've never seen another team, "forward defense" in this way to Leicester Liverpool when they had Jamie Vardy Ian Rush and Kenny Shinji cooperate.

Note the use of quotes Hansen suspicious when talk of "pressure". It is almost as if it existed before Jürgen Klopp invented.

Several fans for Donut queued still when Vardy embarks on his first challenge. Those who have thought in the womb King Power Stadium has she lost a goal, so the degree of satisfaction of the faithful of the house was revealed.

Ryan Bertrand was lying and hit by a dump truck on the lawn. Vardy has his club blue doll turned skyward on the path of He-Man and the Sword of Grayskull. His entry on Steven Davis just before half-time was agriculture, so that the Southampton physio has led the field on a tractor.

These are things that are not measured by statistics.

As the value of a malignant Front controlled shudder that the amount, as an acidified, which in turn makes each player on this page believe that Leicester leave slightly less quantified that for treason on the point of exhaustion equivalent domain?

Maybe it does not matter.

After all, are the only numbers are important: will be 2015/16 Leicester City champions if they win the Premier League by 12 points in the next six games.

Updike have been correct.

Unashamedly for Spurs, but a draw is at this stage of the season?
