Hell of a ending at Norwich V Newcastle.

Well done Norwich. I would rather not see Newcastle relegated as we don't need their potential financial competition in the Championship, but again well done Norwich for fighting damned hard.

If we draw or lose to Bournemouth next week then we're relegated, because Norwich have conceded 19 goals less than us. I'm looking forward to getting it over with, because this Villa team hasn't even got the guts or pride to give us a fighting chance. Let's get it done, I'm ready for it.

Has anybody got a time machine I can borrow? Just wanting a quick trip back to August to put £10 on Leicester winning the title and to dampen my past self's hopes for this season...

I bet the Leicester fan who took the bookies offer to cash out early in return for £75k is gutted now. Didn't he stand to win £300k if he'd held his nerve?

[Sandie]

It's all about the margins, I think. £75K is better than nothing and to be honest, right up until yesterday when Tottenham did a Tottenham I was thinking they might blow it. If you support them you would probably be even more nervous. I know, as a Villa fan, I get nervous that we can't hold out a 2-0 lead so god knows what I'd be feeling like if we were going for the title and a daft August punt was standing to give me enough cash to set me up for life.

As a bookie it is a bad result for us, circa £2.5 mill, would have been a lot worse if it wasn't for people cashing out

City taking a bit of a beating from Southampton.

Money doesn't buy everything then!

2-2 between Chelsea and Spurs. Would mean Leicester win.

[Sandie]

Leicester have won. Fantastic achievement. Why can't things like that happen to us?

What a bloody great achievement for them. Ironic that the game at their place, where we were 2 up and lost 3-2 was such a pivotal one for both clubs. Fair Play to leicester. They make us all dare to dream. The top 4 can be broken into (they said it couldn't and where right for years) Well Leicester and Spurs have blew it wide open. Leicester doing wonders for the smaller club. I don't begrudge them this. It's what football should be about. I don't get their knockers in and amongst our fan base. It's not like it's Blues. They deserve it and I tweeted this earlier, but I think they may help us get sold. Someone will see this and think, it is possible and I can break the top 4.

Well done Leicester, well done indeed!!

They had a Leicester fan on the radio and he said exactly the same thing about that game and how it turned the trajectories of both clubs. At least someone gets to thank Tim Sherwood's management for something.

[villabromsgrove]

Leicester have struck a blow for the also rans. The big clubs have got complacent and have had their collective arses kicked. Congratulations to Ranieri and co and a grudging "well done" to Pearson for having a hand in kick starting the process. Also congratulations to a supportive owner.

[Sandie]

They've spent less and have a smaller wagebill than we do. That really puts the mismanagement we've seen in the last ten years into perspective.

[Chris Harte]

Leicester have given everyone hope. A solid plan, togetherness and determination have seen them achieve this.
