It was a killer blow, that goal. I was listening on the radio and something told me they'd score with the last touch. That pessimism singles me out as a true Leicester fan! But they were not a disgrace, especially with ten men. They have a virtual two week break. They just have to keep winning. Norwich, however, has as one person put it in a Leicester Mercury story, "away win written all over it" (it's that pessimism again
).
After Norwich it's Albion, Watford, Newcastle, Palace, Sotton, Sunnerlun, Hammers, Swansea, Man U, Everton, Chelsea. Every one of those a potential banana skin, and a particularly tough away match on the final day with GH wanting a spectacular five goal sendoff for having saved Chelski from relegation
.
As an aside, I don't have the stats (nor the will to look them up), but Arsenal has always been perceived as a bogey team for Leicester (whereas we have often been lucky v Liverpool, even in their heyday). As a teenager I can recall watching some unlucky defeats against Arsenal. Especially one cup match where I was behind the goal in the days of Glover, Worthington and Weller (IIRC) when we must have hit the post and bar several times but still lost by a single goal. A point would have felt like a win yesterday.
Arsenal play Spurs at WHL on 5 March. That's a big one, and if Leicester falter, a possible title decider. Arsenal host Villa on the last day of the season, and Spurs I think are away to Newcastle.
