More than one of the Chelsea players has said they don't want Spurs to win the league and they play Spurs and Leicester. I don't expect Leicester to be pushed to hard at Standford Brige on the last game of the season if they need a win.

That win today against Swansea bascially wins Leicester the league in my eyes.

edit: Right, you've already said this.

But they know they can't. Best team of the world's best league against 11 guys that can't even compete in the race for EuroLeague.

I don't imagine Chelsea would literally let Leicester win. But they aren't going to be motivated to try their absoulte best are they.

chelsea are a disgrace of a club if they play leicester half assed. playing shit on purpose to throw out your manager is bad enough, playing shit because you dont want your neighbour to win is absolutely pathetic.

Well some people don't understand how rivalries work lol. Of course Chelsea are going to throw to keep their fans happy. Ask any Arsenal fan as well if the roles were reversed and they were playing vs Leicester last game of the season and if they lost, Spurs did not win the title i know what they would do it too.

But it doesn't matter because it won't come down to that and it will be over before it, Chelsea players are gonna be motivated enough to beat Tottenham themselves on Monday to beat them out of it that way.

Has this ever happened before in PL where the throwing was blatant? If it does come down to the last game, I'm assuming they'll just rest half of the team and play a bunch of kids? Hard to break any rules unless chelsea players literally kick it into their own goal.

It would be a complete disgrace. It shows a complete lack of sportsmanship if they don't try at all in the last game against Leicester. Sure they won't play at 100% because they have nothing left to play for but blatantly not trying or just playing a B-team when it's a decisive game for the championship is truly disgraceful.

Leicester aren't allowed to become a global super power because I can't fucking spell Leicester and have to goggle it every time.

Also the Leicester fans are awesome. Whether they are singing 'Are you watching Tottenham', 'We're gonna win the League' or ironically singing 'We are staying up' they always bring a smile to my face.

Champions who dont field their A-team once the league is decided and give free points to bottom table teams and thus change the playing field is not disgraceful?

If you decide to condemn one way of seeing it, do it also with the other way.

Ye pretty much everyone in every league does that...

Bayern lost 5 games last season. 3 in the last 4 weeks while beeing champion already. Coincidence?
But we already know Bayern are douchebags, nothing new here

Oh come on. It happens all the time. Why is it disgraceful when it happens in the PL and not when the last game of ANY group stage is a joke. Whether that is CL or World Cup... there is almost always a team that is sure to advance in first place, but still has to play a match, or a team that is already hopelessly knocked out playing a final match. In both cases arguments of sportsmanship come up, but everybody expects the team with nothing to play for to just send out their B-team and see how they perform. Usually leagues aren't decided in this manner, but it has happened a couple of times in the Dutch competition, and there's that infamous time that Espanyol "threw" the game vs. RM in the last minute, while putting up a fight against Barça a week later, thereby "deciding" the championship. How much of that is true, is of course up for debate, but acting all indignant that Chelsea would fight harder against Tottenham than against Leicester is simply to ignore reality.

He's going to get that amount no matter where he plays.

So happy about #Schmelle2021. In so many games and situations he's the one behaving the way a captain should.

I'm happy about it as well. I think Schmelzer is incredibly underrated and I still don't get why he never gets a nod for the national team when we HAVE NO GOOD FULLBACKS AT ALL.
A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.

I am a big fan of Schmelzer too but whenever he played for the national team he underperformed big :/
